Thanks Patrick,

yes it was intel NICs having these link issues.

Looks good, I will merge to next-dts this evening. Remind me, it was Intel
NICs that were having link issues with TREX before you added this retry
loop, right? Thanks for the fix.

* [PATCH v6 02/11] bpf: introduce extensible load API
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Konstantin Ananyev, Wathsala Vithanage; +Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260617194425.12690-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

Introduce new BPF load parameters struct rte_bpf_prm_ex that can be
extended without breaking backward or forward compatibility. Introduce
new function rte_bpf_load_ex consolidating in one code path loading from
both ELF file and raw memory image, with possibility to add more options
in the future.

Some changes in code layout and sequence:
* Both old APIs now only forwarding calls to a new single entry point.
* There is now a centralized cleanup point for all temporary resources
  created during the load process.
* External symbols (xsyms) are now checked for validity just after the
  load started, not after they were already used for relocation.
* File bpf_load_elf.c now only handles opening ELF file and providing
  patched instruction array to the load process. These are left as two
  separate functions to support other ELF sources like memory image in
  the future.
* Function stubs for the case libelf is not available are moved to
  bpf_load_elf.c to make keeping track of them easier (forgetting to
  update stubs is a common problem).

* [PATCH v6 03/11] bpf: support up to 5 arguments
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Konstantin Ananyev, Wathsala Vithanage; +Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260617194425.12690-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

When using rte_bpf_load_ex allow up to 5 arguments for a BPF program.
Particularly useful for call-backs and other internal functions.

Signed-off-by: Marat Khalili <marat.khalili@huawei.com>
Acked-by: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>

+The library API provides the following basic operations for working with BPF
+programs:
 
-*  Create a new BPF execution context and load user provided eBPF code into it.
+*   **Loading:** The extensible API (``rte_bpf_load_ex``) is the recommended
+    way to load a BPF program. By utilizing ``struct rte_bpf_prm_ex``, you can
+    load an eBPF program from an ELF file on disk, or load eBPF/cBPF bytecode
+    directly from memory buffers.
 
-*   Destroy an BPF execution context and its runtime structures and free the associated memory.
+*   **Execution via Callbacks:** Once loaded, a BPF program can be attached to
+    a specific ethernet device port and queue to automatically process incoming
+    or outgoing packets using ``rte_bpf_eth_rx_install`` or
+    ``rte_bpf_eth_tx_install``.
 
-*   Execute eBPF bytecode associated with provided input parameter.
+*   **Direct Execution:** You can execute a BPF program directly from your
+    application code using ``rte_bpf_exec_ex`` (or the burst variant
+    ``rte_bpf_exec_burst_ex``). This API allows passing an execution context
+    (``struct rte_bpf_prog_ctx``) containing up to 5 custom arguments.
 
-*   Provide information about natively compiled code for given BPF context.
+*   **JIT Execution:** For maximum performance, you can retrieve the natively
+    compiled (JIT) function pointer for a loaded program using
+    ``rte_bpf_get_jit_ex`` and call it directly from your code with the same
+    arguments.
 
-*   Load BPF program from the ELF file and install callback to execute it on given ethdev port/queue.
+*   **Cleanup:** Destroy a BPF execution context and free the associated memory
+    using ``rte_bpf_destroy``.

* [PATCH v6 08/11] test/bpf: test loading ELF file from memory
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Konstantin Ananyev; +Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260617194425.12690-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

Run each subtest in test_bpf_elf twice: the old way loading ELF images
via temporary file, and using the new rte_bpf_load_ex API to load them
directly from memory.

In tests loading port/queue filters use new rte_bpf_eth_(rx|tx)_install
API to install an already loaded (via one of the ways) BPF program.

* [PATCH v6 04/11] bpf: add cBPF origin to rte_bpf_load_ex
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Konstantin Ananyev; +Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260617194425.12690-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

Add cBPF origin to rte_bpf_load_ex to allow loading PCAP filters and
other cBPF code through the unified interface.

Note that for the no-libpcap stub of rte_bpf_convert, the behavior when
called with a NULL program has changed from setting rte_errno to EINVAL
to setting it to ENOTSUP. Since both cases return NULL, callers relying
on pointer checking are unaffected.

* [PATCH v6 05/11] bpf: support rte_bpf_prm_ex with port callbacks
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

* [PATCH v6 01/11] bpf: make logging prefixes more consistent
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Konstantin Ananyev, Wathsala Vithanage; +Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260617194425.12690-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

Logging in lib/bpf is inconsistent: some places use `%s()`, other just
`%s` for `__func__`.

Introduce new macro for logging prefixed with function name and use it
everywhere function name without arguments is prefixed to the log line.

* [PATCH v6 00/11] bpf: introduce extensible load API
From: Marat Khalili @ 2026-06-17 19:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  Cc: dev
In-Reply-To: <20260612084219.38399-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>

This patchset introduces an extensible load API for the BPF library in
DPDK, addressing current limitations regarding ABI stability and feature
constraints.

Currently, `rte_bpf_load` relies on a fixed `struct rte_bpf_prm`, which
makes it difficult to add new loading options or parameters without
breaking the ABI.

To resolve these issues, this series introduces `rte_bpf_load_ex` taking
`struct rte_bpf_prm_ex`. The new parameter structure includes a `sz`
field for backward compatibility, allowing future extensions.

Taking advantage of the new extensible API, this patchset also adds
several new features:
* Support for loading and executing BPF programs with up to 5 arguments.
* Support for loading classic BPF (cBPF) directly.
* Support for loading ELF files directly from memory buffers.
* New API functions (`rte_bpf_eth_rx_install` and `rte_bpf_eth_tx_install`)
  to install an already loaded BPF program as a port callback, decoupling
  the loading phase from the installation phase.


v6:
* Fixed several typos.

v5:
* Fixed compilation between commits broken in v4 while addressing AI
  comments.
* Rebased on fresh main, addressing conflicts in release notes.

v4:
* Restored missing NULL checks in wrapper functions `rte_bpf_load` and
  `rte_bpf_elf_load`.
* Fixed the burst execution functions (`rte_bpf_exec_burst*`) to return
  `0` and set `rte_errno = EINVAL` on failure, preventing `-EINVAL`
  being reinterpreted as a large `uint32_t` value. Initialized `rc`
  properly in scalar execution wrappers for this case.
* Swapped the Doxygen comments in `rte_bpf_ethdev.h` for RX and TX functions.
* Added diagnostic dump on failure path in `test_bpf_filter`.
* Fixed memory leak of the BPF handle in `bpf_rx_test` upon install failure.
* Added tests for NULL parameter rejection, mismatched execution arguments,
  unsupported execution flags, and the libpcap-less `rte_bpf_convert` stub.

v3:
* Appended Acked-by tags to all individual commits to align with
  patchwork requirements.

v2:
* Fixed a potential segmentation fault in `exec_vm_burst_ex` by deferring
  the dereference of `ctx[i].arg` until it is confirmed that `nb_prog_arg > 0`.
* Clarified documentation and code comments for `RTE_BPF_EXEC_FLAG_JIT`
  requirements and fast-path expectations.

Thank you for doing this. I suggest comparing against the previous effort by Christophe Fontaine though.

Couple of comments inline, superficially looks correct otherwise.

Are we checking that (int64_t)off >= 0 anywhere?

* [PATCH v4] dts: add support for no link topology
From: Andrew Bailey @ 2026-06-17 19:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: patrickrobb1997, luca.vizzarro
  Cc: dev, knimoji, lylavoie, ahassick, Andrew Bailey
In-Reply-To: <20260220192510.37163-1-abailey@iol.unh.edu>

Add support for running DTS with no traffic generator node and no ethdev
interfaces. Some applications, like dpdk-test-crypto-perf run without
ethdev interfaces and no traffic generator. In these cases, it is
beneficial to remove the overhead of creating a node and ports that are
not used. The specified build option for ice devices is removed since
the query to sut port ingress causes python to crash when there are no
ports. Notably, since this is only the case in which there are no ports,
traffic will not be sent and therefore the build argument is not
required. For these reasons it is skipped when running a no-link
topology.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Bailey <abailey@iol.unh.edu>
---

v4:
* Made it possible to run no link topology even if a TG node is
  present in the config.
* Updated the test run example config file to properly document how no
  link topology is run.

This line is unclear to me, but that's not the main issue.

In the very next line the offset is calculated as follows though:

    jump_to_epilogue = (ctx->program_start + ctx->program_sz) - ctx->idx;

From its appearance, it can never be negative. However, ctx->program_sz is set
in emit_epilogue which is issued on every BPF_EXIT, so mid-generation it
contains the location of the last issued epilogue (including possibly previous
pass), not the program size. With this interpretation the code technically
works, but I'd suggest either renaming program_sz to something like
epilogue_offset, or making sure it is only set to the actual program size (sans
prologue and epilogue). In the latter case the jump offset will never be
negative, although the change to int32_t is still helpful in extending the
range of supported programs from 2**16 instructions. Since only 26 signed bits
are actually available maybe some check or assert is also warranted.

* [PATCH v3] tools: AI review handle empty Error sections
From: Matthew Gee @ 2026-06-17 17:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev; +Cc: stephen, aconole, lylavoie, Matthew Gee
In-Reply-To: <20260612190225.1016275-1-mgee@iol.unh.edu>

This patch fixes a bug where review-patch.py would detect and report an
error or warning only based off of the occurrence of the headers of the
error and warning sections. This led to consistent false positives as
often AI reviewers will create the header but put "none" or similar
filler text within the following body.

This patch updates the code in order to check if the AI review has a
body with error or warnings to fix and not just filler text. This is
done by keeping track of whether the for loop parser is within an error
or warning section; analyzing the first non-whitespace line within the
section. If the first non-whitespace line matches known filler then the
section can be ignored.  It has been observed that if the AI includes
filler then there is no actual concern.

These changes were tested against 10+ markdown AI review outputs with
several variations in formatting and filler text. The changes caught
error or warning sections with actual concerns and successfully ignored
sections containing only filler.

I think this should CC participants of the previous discussion:

(Humans may think they submit patches independently, but weights of their LLMs
were already contaminated with the other effort. Hello brave new world.)

DPDK has replaced all use of the terms master/slave with alternative words.
