            Bug ID: 1900
           Summary: The DPDK bond driver does not support the secondary
                    process.
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: 916421004@qq.com
  Target Milestone: ---

When I use the bond4 mode (dedicated_queues_enable), I find that DPDK does not
support the secondary mode.


1.bond_probe:
if (rte_eal_process_type() == RTE_PROC_SECONDARY) {
        eth_dev = rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary(name);
        if (!eth_dev) {
                RTE_BOND_LOG(ERR, "Failed to probe %s", name);
                return -1;
        }
        /* TODO: request info from primary to set up Rx and Tx */
        eth_dev->dev_ops = &default_dev_ops;
        eth_dev->device = &dev->device;

        rte_eth_dev_probing_finish(eth_dev);
        return 0;
}


Here don`t set eth_dev->tx_pkt_burst and eth_dev->rx_pkt_burst.

2.struct port bond_mode_8023ad_ports[RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS];
This is a global variable, and the content of the primary is not synchronized.

problem example:
rx_burst_8023ad:
...
collecting = ACTOR_STATE(&bond_mode_8023ad_ports[members[idx]],
                                         COLLECTING);
...                     
/* Remove packet from array if:
 * - it is slow packet but no dedicated rxq is present,
 * - member is not in collecting state,
 * - bonding interface is not in promiscuous mode and
 *   packet address isn't in mac_addrs array:
 *   - packet is unicast,
 *   - packet is multicast and bonding interface
 *     is not in allmulti,
 */
if (unlikely(
        (!dedicated_rxq &&
         is_lacp_packets(hdr->ether_type, subtype,
                         bufs[j])) ||
        !collecting ||
        (!promisc &&
         !is_bond_mac_addr(&hdr->dst_addr, bond_mac,
                           BOND_MAX_MAC_ADDRS) &&
         (rte_is_unicast_ether_addr(&hdr->dst_addr) ||
          !allmulti)))) {
          ...
          }

because the bond_mode_8023ad_ports is not synchronized to the primary process.
As a result, the value of collecting is 0, and non-LACP packets are discarded.


Why does the DPDK bond not support the secondary mode? When will the DPDK bond
support the secondary mode?
