From e5b7b6780f9748b6f13ef91e3e22d53ebdf47968 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Alian Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 09:12:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dist, dev: Fixed the packet ordering in etherswitch This patch fixes the order that packets gets pushed into the output fifo of etherswitch. If two packets arrive at the same tick to the etherswitch, we sort and push them based on their source port id. In dist-gem5 simulations, if there is no ordering inforced while two packets arrive at the same tick, it can lead to non-deterministic simulations Committed by Jason Lowe-Power --- src/dev/net/etherswitch.cc | 158 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/dev/net/etherswitch.hh | 86 ++++++++++++++-- util/cpt_upgraders/etherswitch.py | 21 ++++ 3 files changed, 228 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) create mode 100644 util/cpt_upgraders/etherswitch.py diff --git a/src/dev/net/etherswitch.cc b/src/dev/net/etherswitch.cc index 02bbff65d..0564ee594 100644 --- a/src/dev/net/etherswitch.cc +++ b/src/dev/net/etherswitch.cc @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ EtherSwitch::EtherSwitch(const Params *p) std::string interfaceName = csprintf("%s.interface%d", name(), i); Interface *interface = new Interface(interfaceName, this, p->output_buffer_size, p->delay, - p->delay_var, p->fabric_speed); + p->delay_var, p->fabric_speed, i); interfaces.push_back(interface); } } @@ -72,13 +72,64 @@ EtherSwitch::getEthPort(const std::string &if_name, int idx) return interface; } +bool +EtherSwitch::Interface::PortFifo::push(EthPacketPtr ptr, unsigned senderId) +{ + assert(ptr->length); + + _size += ptr->length; + fifo.emplace_hint(fifo.end(), ptr, curTick(), senderId); + + // Drop the extra pushed packets from end of the fifo + while (avail() < 0) { + DPRINTF(Ethernet, "Fifo is full.
