Why I did it

Adds support for receiving packet ins with additonal metadata for PINS.

See this HLD for more details:
https://github.com/pins/SONiC/blob/master/doc/pins/Packet_io.md

How I did it

This code largely follows the same pattern as psample for sflow.

How to verify it

Build a broadcom or barefoot image with INCLUDE_P4RT=y

Install P4RT flow rules for LLDP.

Send LLDP packet from peer using bcmsh:

tx 1 PBM=cd0 DATA="01 80 c2 00 00 0e...

Verify counters and debug logs(dmesg) for knet-cb:

cat /proc/bcm/knet-cb/genl_packet/stats
BCM KNET generic Callback Stats
  DCB type 38
  pkts filter generic cb                  1
  pkts sent to generic module             1
  pkts handled by generic                 1
  pkts with mc destination                0
  pkts with cpu destination               1
  pkts current queue length               0
  pkts high queue length                  1
  pkts drop max queue length              0
  pkts drop no memory                     0
  pkts drop generic not ready             0
  pkts drop metadata parse error          0
  pkts with invalid src port              0
  pkts with invalid dst port              0
  pkts with invalid orig pkt sz           0

Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)

None

Description for the changelog

Add genl_packet kernel module for PINS packet ins

bocon13 · 2021-10-27T07:14:54Z

platform/barefoot/bfn-modules/configs/bfn-modules.conf

+psample
+genl_packet


Ideally this would be conditional on INCLUDE_P4RT

@ravi861, what do you think?

@akokhan @msosyak Please take a look

here is an example how we can do insmod from service installed with a deb. We can add same service into GENL_PACKET deb instead of modifying bfn-modules.conf.
https://github.com/pins/sonic-buildimage-public/blob/master/platform/barefoot/sonic-platform-modules-bfn-newport/configs/systemd/system/bfn-newport.service

@vboykox Can we move both psample and genl_packet there in the future? It should be fine for now just to get things going.

src/genl-packet/debian/rules

+	   echo "Rewriting linux-image dependency in debian/control to $(KVERSION_SHORT)"; \
+	   sed -Ei "s/linux-image-.+-$(ARCH)/linux-image-$(KVERSION_SHORT)-$(ARCH)/" debian/control; \
+	fi
+	if echo "$(KVERSION_SHORT)" | grep -q "^4\.19\."; then \


Why are there two separate if-blocks for this? Wouldn't the previous one handle all cases?

This was a trick that Arista uses:
https://github.com/aristanetworks/sonic/blob/89018d0623191ecd477c869339ca795f91f6c68c/debian/rules#L20-L30

The first if block updates the version string to the kernel version that we are using. The second block covers unsigned kernels if the linux version is 4.19. If the kernel is unsigned, the sed regex in the first block won't match.

You are right that there is some duplication in the second block and this can probably be simplified. Is there simpler common SONiC pattern that we can apply?

The goal here is to avoid updating the debian/control file every time the kernel version is revised.

I haven't tested this, but I think just the first block would be fine. The sed in the first block would still match the linux-image-4.19.0-12-2-amd64 part of linux-image-4.19.0-12-2-amd64-unsigned. I suspect that the second block was added because the name of the package changed to add in -unsigned starting with the 4.19 kernel image.

@bocon13 Per our last conversation, this file was going to go into the user space genetlink lib (p4rt_app/sonic/) ?

can we please rename this to the existing format? cpu_queue1_group1, cpu_queue2_group1. We don't need trap.group prefix in the names here

@bocon13 Hi, I have tried build PINS WITH SONIC, and I want to test pakcetIO with PINS. But I found the genl_pakcet kernel modules still not merged in SONIC. Can I use codes here to build genl_packet.ko for SONIC-202205 version?Thanks a lot for respond.
