tas start failed with virtio-net

[LanceLiu89]

when start tas with multi queue virtio_net, it start failed [root@localhost tas]# ./tas --ip-addr=192.168.122.123/24 --fp-no-xsumoffload Warning: NIC does not support all requested RSS hash functions. virtio_dev_configure(): Unsupported Rx multi queue mode 1 Port0 dev_configure = -22 rte_eth_dev_configure failed network init failed

looks like the default port_conf->rxmode not change to ETH_MQ_RX_NONE when using virtio_net

but virtio_dev_configure() check failed if it's not ETH_MQ_RX_NONE

    maintainers: remove QoS and pipeline repositories

    The git trees dpdk-next-qos and dpdk-next-pipeline were created
    to share the load of patches merging.
    It has been decided in the Technical Board that the load is not big
    enough to justify keeping these repositories.

    The patches for ethdev TM and MTR will be managed in dpdk-next-net.
    The sched and meter libraries will be managed in the main tree.
    The packet framework will be managed in the main tree as well.

    net/virtio: reject unsupported Rx multi-queue modes

    This driver supports none of DCB, RSS or VMDQ modes, therefore must
    check and return error if configured incorrectly.

    Virtio can distribute Rx packets across multi-queue, but there is
    no controls (algorithm, redirection table, hash function) except
    number of Rx queues and ETH_MQ_RX_NONE is the best fit meaning
    no method is enforced on how to route packets to MQs.

Good catch. As long as auto-scaling is disabled (that currently relies on the RSS reta) ETH_MQ_RX_NONE should be acceptable. So I think my fix would be to add an if that checks if RSS is supported, and if not, proceed with mq_rx_none assuming auto-scaling is disabled on the command line. I'll try to implement a fix hopefully in the next few days. Feel free to submit a pull request if you get to it earlier. As a workaround just hardcoding mq_rx_none should probably work. (just disable auto scaling too on the command line as it won't work)

[sarsanaee]

I tried this before, it actually works with autoscaling disabled via command line + mq_rx_none
