Series IPSEC packet event | expand

Event subtype gives more detailed information about the event.
Two subtypes (basic and IPSEC packet) are introduced initially.
Later on, other packet producing APIs (crypto, comp, etc) may
also produce packet events with additional subtypes.

It highlights that packets should be used only for packets, not as random buffer space (buffers are simple vs. packets are complex).

BTW. It would have been nice to get all review comments in one go. I did sent v3 as there were no more comments. I cannot do v4 before our lab is back online from a maintenance break... Hopefully v4 is not necessary.

Ok, it just looked a bit odd. Not a biggie.

Still working on it. This series needs Bala and Nikhil's reviews as a
check against their HW. But so far this looks very reasonable.

So, how does this affect event notification mechanism now?
Currently we had ODP_EVENT_COMP_COMPL set on a packet to mark
compression/decompression complete status on requested input. So that
still remain valid Or we need to introduce it like:

event ODP_EVENT_PACKET
subtype ODP_EVENT_PACKET_COMP_COMPL?

For consistency with the subtype pattern defined here I'd guess
ODP_EVENT_PACKET_COMP would be the name to use.

Ok. but it still leave question open for me. Should existing
Compression/Crypto completion event is going to be there or do we need
to change as per current proposal? Or current proposal is for newer
event notifications. When an compression/encryption event should be
considered as sub-event to packet? What event should be if user send a
buffer for compression/decompression than packet? May be I am missing
broader perspective to this proposal.

Also, I have bit of confusion with event type enums placement.
ODO_EVENT_PACKET/ODP_EVENT_CRYPTO_COMPL .. are these standard event
types and public? Because I see their definition inside
platform/linux-generic/include/odp/api/plat/event_types.h instead of
standard spec file at include/odp/api/spec/event.h giving me an
impression they are platform specific enum defines.

So far I was under impression because they are platform specific so we
are introducing conversion APIs like
odp_xxx_event_from_event() so that user don't need to know specific
event enumeration. As example (referring to crypto as base design) ,
we have:

odp_comp_compl_t odp_comp_compl_from_event(odp_event_t);
odp_comp_compl_result(odp_comp_compl_t comp_handle,
odp_comp_op_result_t *result);

Am I missing any base assumption here?

If/when this patch is merged, new work (like comp) should be done against it. So, comp packet would be another subtype. Also, crypto completion APIs will be changed to this (with deprecation).

By buffer, do you mean odp_buffer_t event, or void *ptr ? Maybe ptr/len is more relevant addition than odp_buffer_t. Sync version of that (ptr/len) is easy, async version would need another event type.

API spec defines the enum names, but not the values. Application must not rely on the values. Depending on implementation, values may be HW defined.

odp_event_t is the base class of actual events (e.g. odp_packet_t). Odp_event_t offers minimal operations such as check types or free event without checking the type. Odp_event_t handle needs to be converted to the type specific handle, before application is able to access more features/metadata. The result call is one example of getting metadata from an event.

With the subtype specification these would turn into:

odp_packet_t odp_comp_packet_from_event(odp_event_t ev);
int odp_comp_result(odp_comp_result_t *result, odp_packet_t pkt);

... or

int odp_comp_pkt_result(odp_comp_pkt_result_t *result, odp_packet_t pkt);
int odp_comp_xxx_result(odp_comp_xxx_result_t *result, odp_comp_xxx_t xxx);

... if you speculate with another non-packet result type.

Though not fully decide yet on it but most likely it will ptr/len struct.

if so, then I probably retain ODP_EVENT_COMP_COMPL for event
notification on buffer data.

Can it simply be translated to one single API like odp_xxx_get_event_data() .
For ex. for compression, it translates to:

odp_event_type_t event_t = odp_event_get_type_subtype(event, &subtype);

if(event_t == ODP_EVENT_PACKET) {
  switch(subtype) {
       case ODP_EVENT_PACKET_COMP:
        odp_comp_op_result_t result;
        odp_comp_get_event_data(event, (void *)&result);
      /* Or since event is originating from packet so it can be
odp_packet_get_event_data() as well.
     */
      break;
   }
}

this way odp_xxx_get_event_data() can further scale to handle more
event types or sub-types to it. Otherwise I see we will need to add
conversion API for each new type and sub-type specific data. What is
more preferred approach here?
