[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] use IOVAs check based on DMA mask

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] use IOVAs check based on DMA mask

[Alejandro Lucero]

This patchset adds, mainly, a check for ensuring IOVAs are within a
restricted range due to addressing limitations with some devices. There
are two known cases: NFP and IOMMU VT-d emulation.

With this check IOVAs out of range are detected and PMDs can abort
initialization. For the VT-d case, IOVA VA mode is allowed as long as
IOVAs are within the supported range, avoiding to forbid IOVA VA by
default.

For the addressing limitations known cases, there are just 40(NFP) or
39(VT-d) bits for handling IOVAs. When using IOVA PA, those limitations
imply 1TB(NFP) or 512M(VT-d) as upper limits, which is likely enough for
most systems. With machines using more memory, the added check will
ensure IOVAs within the range.

With IOVA VA, and because the way the Linux kernel serves mmap calls
in 64 bits systems, 39 or 40 bits are not enough. It is possible to
give an address hint with a lower starting address than the default one
used by the kernel, and then ensuring the mmap uses that hint or hint plus
some offset. With 64 bits systems, the process virtual address space is
large enoguh for doing the hugepages mmaping within the supported range
when those addressing limitations exist. This patchset also adds a change
for using such a hint making the use of IOVA VA a more than likely
possibility when there are those addressing limitations.

The check is not done by default but just when it is required. This
patchset adds the check for NFP initialization and for setting the IOVA
mode is an emulated VT-d is detected.

This patchset applies on 17.11.3.

Similar changes will be submitted to main DPDK branch soon.

v2:
 - add get_addr_hint function
 - call munmap when hint given and not used by mmap
 - create dma mask in one step
 - refactor logs

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] mem: add function for checking memsegs IOVAs addresses

[Alejandro Lucero]

A device can suffer addressing limitations. This functions checks
memsegs have iovas within the supported range based on dma mask.

PMD should use this during initialization if supported devices
suffer addressing limitations, returning an error if this function
returns memsegs out of range.

Another potential usage is for emulated IOMMU hardware with addressing
limitations.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/6] bus/pci: use IOVAs check when setting IOVA mode

[Alejandro Lucero]

Although VT-d emulation currently only supports 39 bits, it could
be iovas being within that supported range. This patch allows
IOVA mode in such a case.

Indeed, memory initialization code can be modified for using lower
virtual addresses than those used by the kernel for 64 bits processes
by default, and therefore memsegs iovas can use 39 bits or less for
most system. And this is likely 100% true for VMs.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/6] mem: use address hint for mapping hugepages

[Alejandro Lucero]

Linux kernel uses a really high address as starting address for
serving mmaps calls. If there exists addressing limitations and
IOVA mode is VA, this starting address is likely too high for
those devices. However, it is possible to use a lower address in
the process virtual address space as with 64 bits there is a lot
of available space.

This patch adds an address hint as starting address for 64 bits
systems.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] use IOVAs check based on DMA mask

[Alejandro Lucero]

I sent a patchset about this to be applied on 17.11 stable. The memory
code has had main changes since that version, so here it is the patchset
adjusted to current master repo.

This patchset adds, mainly, a check for ensuring IOVAs are within a
restricted range due to addressing limitations with some devices. There
are two known cases: NFP and IOMMU VT-d emulation.

With this check IOVAs out of range are detected and PMDs can abort
initialization. For the VT-d case, IOVA VA mode is allowed as long as
IOVAs are within the supported range, avoiding to forbid IOVA VA by
default.

For the addressing limitations known cases, there are just 40(NFP) or
39(VT-d) bits for handling IOVAs. When using IOVA PA, those limitations
imply 1TB(NFP) or 512M(VT-d) as upper limits, which is likely enough for
most systems. With machines using more memory, the added check will
ensure IOVAs within the range.

With IOVA VA, and because the way the Linux kernel serves mmap calls
in 64 bits systems, 39 or 40 bits are not enough. It is possible to
give an address hint with a lower starting address than the default one
used by the kernel, and then ensuring the mmap uses that hint or hint plus
some offset. With 64 bits systems, the process virtual address space is
large enoguh for doing the hugepages mmaping within the supported range
when those addressing limitations exist. This patchset also adds a change
for using such a hint making the use of IOVA VA a more than likely
possibility when there are those addressing limitations.

The check is not done by default but just when it is required. This
patchset adds the check for NFP initialization and for setting the IOVA
mode is an emulated VT-d is detected. Also, because the recent patchset
adding dynamic memory allocation, the check is also invoked for ensuring
the new memsegs are within the required range.

This patchset could be applied to stable 18.05.

v2:
 - change logs from INFO to DEBUG
 - only keeps dma mask if device capable of addressing allocated memory
 - add ABI changes
 - change hint address increment to page size
 - split pci/bus commit in two
 - fix commits

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] mem: add function for checking memsegs IOVAs addresses

[Alejandro Lucero]

A device can suffer addressing limitations. This function checks
memsegs have iovas within the supported range based on dma mask.

PMDs should use this function during initialization if device
suffers addressing limitations, returning an error if this function
returns memsegs out of range.

Another usage is for emulated IOMMU hardware with addressing
limitations.

It is necessary to save the most restricted dma mask for checking out
memory allocated dynamically after initialization.

+* **Added check for ensuring allocated memory addressable by devices.**
+
+  Some devices can have addressing limitations so a new function,
+  ``rte_eal_check_dma_mask``, has been added for checking allocated memory is
+  not out of the device range. Because now memory can be dynamically allocated
+  after initialization, a dma mask is kept and any new allocated memory will be
+  checked out against that dma mask and rejected if out of range. If more than
+  one device has addressing limitations, the dma mask is the more restricted one.

Thanks Anatoly.

I have just noticed I did not remove the previous keeping of the dma mask.

I will send another version just with this change and will add you review
if you are happy if I do so.
