Changes:
1. This version is downloaded from
https://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-17.11.2.tar.xz.
2. Adapt the new interface `rte_ring_dequeue_burst`.
3. Change the type of `port_id` from uint8_t to uint16_t.
4. Just link libdpdk.a instead of the other libaries.
5. Install libnuma-dev first.
6. Update the documents.
When starting nginx with mutil-processes, secondary worker may be spawned before primary worker completing initialization of fstack(dpdk), so errors occurred, for one, in kni.
1. `#define SOCK_FSTACK 0x1000`
2. when we want to create socket by fstack, we code like this :
`s = ngx_socket(domain, type | SOCK_FSTACK , protocol);`
1. Add a new directive proxy_kernel_network_stack :
Syntax: proxy_kernel_network_stack on | off;
Default: proxy_kernel_network_stack off;
Context: http, stream, mail, server
This directive is available only when NGX_HAVE_FF_STACK is defined.
Determines whether proxy should go throught kernel network stack or fstack.
2.Update F-Stack_Nginx_APP_Guide.md
1. Nginx based on fstack delays setting up server on fstack until ngx_worker_process_init. ngx_configure_listening_sockets should as well.
2. FStack does not support IP_PKTINFO
When nginx is configured like this:
```
server {
listen 8000;
kernel_network_stack on;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
}
}
```
nginx will crash, becasue kernel network stack is handled in a single thread, but we have hijacked all the socket apis, it causes that all apis enter to f-stack's path which is in main thread.
e.g. unix socket, ipc (with APP on kernel network stack), packet from kernel network stack.
1. Add a new directive kernel_network_stack :
Syntax: kernel_network_stack on | off;
Default: kernel_network_stack off;
Context: http, server
This directive is available only when NGX_HAVE_FF_STACK is defined.
Determines whether server should run on kernel network stack or fstack.
2. Use a simpler and more effective solution to discriminate fstack fd(file descriptor, only socket for now) from kernel fd.
Since f-stack run with polling mode, nginx will call gettimeofday every loop, and cost a lot.
With this commit, f-stack will update current timespec periodically in
ff_hardclock_job. And ff_gettimeofday will get this value.
In nginx, hijack gettimeofday to call ff_gettimeofday.
When use nginx as a proxy, nginx error logs always print 'readv() failed
(9: Bad file descriptor) while reading upstream'.
In previous commit: 10c5711ed2, i removed
`readv`, caused this issue.
Since ngx_ff_module.c was derived from nginx_ofp's ngx_ofp_module.c, but
according to #42, nginx_ofp's ngx_ofp_module.c may be derived from
opendp/dpdk-nginx's ans_module.c and nginx_ofp didn't have a license, so
add opendp/dpdk-nginx's license.
The newer version of libcrypto will invoke read and close function when
dl_init, the real address of read/close function can’t be determined in
compilation phase and libcrypto will seek read/close symbol in ELF
files and other libraries. However nginx_fstack redefined these two
functions, this causes these symbols to be found in nginx_fstack. But the real read/close function is NULL before ff_mod_init, this leads to crash.
Changes:
1.if real_close is NULL, assign it with the address of close function in Glibc.
2.remove unnecessary read/readv/write.
This commit contains an ipc library implemented by dpdk rte_ring and
sysctl tool ported from FreeBSD.
With this commit we can get and set FreeBSD kernel state in runtime.
