[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/7] checking for owned ports in portmask

[Stephen Hemminger]

The failsafe, bonding, and netvsc PMD use eth dev port ownership
to control sub devices. These sub devices are hidden in the
normal iteration over ports but some applications use a direct
port mask.  In these cases, user may still (incorrectly) try
to directly use the sub devices.

This patch set introduces a helper function to check if
a port is under ownership. And the follow on patches use that.

IMHO this should not be marked as experimental and done as
a bug fix back to DPDK 18.11 because then it will get picked
up in LTS and users won't run into it on Azure.

An alternative proposed in earlier discussion is to have
each application try and own the port. But this solution would
be more invasive, and does not handle the case if secondary process
exits prematurely without releasing ownership. It makes more
sense to keep the concept of ownership as strictly part of
the device model and not part of the application layer.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/7] ethdev: add function to test port ownership

[Stephen Hemminger]

Applications using a port mask need a method to be able
to test for (and reject) ethdev ports that are in use for
other purposes.

There is already function which is thread safe to get this information:
rte_eth_dev_owner_get.

I don't think we need one more.

Hi Stephen

From: Stephen Hemminger

I think the correct terminology here is (can be the title):
Make the application be port ownership aware.

Some applications may be ownership aware and others not.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] check for owned ports in portmask

[Stephen Hemminger]

The failsafe, bonding, and netvsc PMD use eth dev port ownership
to control sub devices. These sub devices are hidden in the
normal iteration over ports but some applications use a direct
port mask.  In these cases, user may still (incorrectly) try
to directly use the sub devices.

This patch set introduces a helper function to check if
a port is under ownership. And the follow on patches use that.

An alternative proposed in earlier discussion is to have
each application try and own the port. But this solution would
be more invasive, and does not handle the case if secondary process
exits prematurely without releasing ownership. It makes more
sense to keep the concept of ownership as strictly part of
the device model and not part of the application layer.

v2 - rename the helper function and use rte_eth_dev_owner_get

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] rte_ethdev: add function to check if device is owned

[Stephen Hemminger]

This is a simple helper function to check if device is owned
(being used as a sub-device). It is more convienent than having
applications call rte_eth_dev_owner_get and check the result.

Yes it is more convenient but I don't like adding such simple wrapper.

I propose to extend rte_eth_dev_owner_get() behaviour:
if the owner pointer is NULL, the function returns 0 only
if an owner (not RTE_ETH_DEV_NO_OWNER) is found.

So instead of using your wrapper:
	if (rte_eth_dev_is_owned(port_id))
you can use:
	if (rte_eth_dev_owner_get(port_id, NULL) == 0)

That is not how rte_eth_dev_owner_get works now.
Passing NULL to it would crash.

And if devices is not owned rte_eth_dev_owner_get() returns 0
and owner is set to a magic value. We could change the ABI for this 
since it is marked experimental. But that seems more risky.

Indeed this is why I am proposing to extend it
and fill this case.

This is not an ABI change.
Just manage a case which was crashing previously.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/6] checking for owned ports in portmask

[Stephen Hemminger]

The failsafe, bonding, and netvsc PMD use eth dev port ownership
to control sub devices. These sub devices are hidden in the
normal iteration over ports but some applications use a direct
port mask.  In these cases, user may still (incorrectly) try
to directly use the sub devices.

This patch set changes the rte_eth_dev_owner_get function
so that it can be used to test for any ownership.
And the follow on patches use that.

An alternative proposed in earlier discussion is to have
each application try and own the port. But this solution would
be more invasive, and does not handle the case if secondary process
exits prematurely without releasing ownership. It makes more
sense to keep the concept of ownership as strictly part of
the device model and not part of the application layer.

v3 - use rte_eth_dev_owner_get directly, and change the function return
     rework port setup in tep_termination example
v2 - rename the helper function and use rte_eth_dev_owner_get

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/6] rte_ethdev: change rte_eth_dev_owner_get to return error if unowned

[Stephen Hemminger]

For applications that want to check if device is owned,
change the return value of rte_eth_dev_owner_get to return -ENOENT
if there is no owner for the device.

Change the two drivers (failsafe and netvsc) that are using
this experimental API to handle the new return value.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 6/6] examples/tep_termination: rework the port setup logic

[Stephen Hemminger]

The handling of ports in this application had many problems.
It was checking for things that can never happen with current
DPDK library (like rte_ethdev_avail_count() >= RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS)
and it was not checking if the port was owned and should
not be used directly. Also the variable nb_ports was used
as both local and global variable.

Fix by rewriting the initialization logic to iterate over
valid ports and check if there are any leftovers.

Not sure if port not having an owner is error, I understand the motivation but
what about send a special value, like 1, instead of error:
0: get owner success, port owned
1: get owner success, port not owned
-ENODEV: get owner failed, port_id is not valid

'port_init' is called by the loop:

 RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(portid)
    if (port_init(portid, mbuf_pool) != 0)

And 'RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV' already iterates only on ports not owned, so this
check is redundant.

Why 'ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API' added in this patch, what is the experimental API
started to use?

'INVALID_PORT_ID' macro seems can be removed now.
