[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] remove RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS related code

[David Marchand]

Hello Anatoly, 

I think we might want to start a discussion on what should be done by the eal
and what should be done by the drivers themselves. But this can be done later.

For now, I have a problem with your patch as it breaks drivers that use
RTE_PCI_DRV_FORCE_UNBIND flag, since it removes the part where this flag is
handled. Besides, I can see some remaining parts mentioning pci_switch_module()
in comments.

So, here is a patchset that should do the trick.
It does some cleanup before removing the RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS part.


Regards,

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] pci: pci_switch_module cleanup

[David Marchand]

The pci_switch_module() function should only do what its name tells: unbind pci
devices and rebind them on the specified kernel driver.
Hence, it can not call pci_uio_map_resource().

Call to pci_uio_map_resource() should be moved to rte_eal_pci_probe_one_driver()
so that we can factorize code.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] pci: remove deprecated RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS option

[David Marchand]

RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS was deprecated in DPDK 1.4.0 and removed in 1.6.0, but the
code was not removed.

The bind/unbind operations should not be handled by the eal.
These operations should be either done outside of dpdk or inside the PMDs
themselves as these are their problems.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] pci: remove deprecated RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS option

[David Marchand]

Hello all,

I have found some problems with these patches.
So NAK.

A fd and mem leaks have been revealed and other places needed some cleanup,
so I will send new patches that supersede these 3.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] remove RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS related code

I wonder if this functionality is needed at all. I couldn't find any drivers using that flag, and the unbinding can be done using the included Python script as well. Given that we're getting rid of unbinding and binding in the EAL, it's only logical that we get rid of the force-unbinding as well, don't you think?

This functionality is at least used by virtio-net-pmd.
So we cannot remove this without a fix for virtio-net-pmd.
Besides, if we remove this functionality, then headers and documentation 
should be updated accordingly.

Yet, even if we remove this from the eal, I think we should provide a 
proper api to bind/unbind devices to kernel drivers.
This way PMDs can use this api and forget about OS dependencies (linux/bsd).


By the way, there is also a cleanup to be done inside bsd implementation 
as I found references to linux code inside it.

$ grep -rl pci_switch_module lib/
lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal_pci.c

I am not sure BSD has a /sys filesystem.

$ grep -rl eal_parse_sysfs_value lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/
lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/include/eal_filesystem.h
lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c



As a conclusion, as far as all these cleanups are concerned, I would say 
we should target the next major release.

Hi David,

It appears that virtio-net-pmd hasn't been merged in yet? At least I can't see it in the git tree for 1.6 release.

Please forgive me for repeating myself, but I'm still not convinced that binding/unbinding the kernel drivers has to be the responsibility of the application in the first place. As far as I know, the reasons why the binding/unbinding code was there are purely historical and have no rationale behind them other than "this is how it was first implemented". Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but FreeBSD has some issues with port binding/unbinding - i.e. it can't do that at all, at least during runtime, so on BSD it's even less of an issue.

Anyway, the reason I'm bringing this subject up in the first place is I'm preparing a patch to support VFIO driver alongside igb_uio. Among the changes I'm preparing to make is getting rid of the device ID list in igb_uio, so that any driver could be bound to it (via writing to new_id) - i.e. making it similar to how pci_stub, vfio-pci  et al work. A consequence of that will be that igb_uio won't try to bind any devices unless the user explicitly asks for it, meaning that the virtio device will not be bound to igb_uio by default. I think this will remedy the issues with virtio-net-pmd without the need for force-unbind logic in the EAL.

Maybe you don't know the history of the project. virtio-net-pmd was the first 
PMD for virtio. It has been released out of tree. Then Intel designed another 
one based on uio and released it in the DPDK tree.
On this topic, you should know that some parts of virtio-uio are (wrongly) 
integrated in EAL. So it seems to be a bad idea to integrate PMDs in DPDK 
tree.

virtio-net-pmd is hosted outside of the git tree:

I understand your point of view.
I think everybody agree that EAL should not force binding/unbinding 
operations. But it could be very convenient to allow PMDs to do it by 
themselves.

Do you agree that the David's version is a good step in the right direction as 
it allows to remove RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS?
If so, could you ack these patches, please?
Then we could discuss what are the next steps.

virtio-net-pmd doesn't need any kernel driver. Moreover, the virtio-net kernel 
driver must be unbound. It can be done before running DPDK but it's simpler to 
do it in the PMD initialization.
By the way, we should remove this flag FORCE_UNBIND. But please, let's do it 
in another step.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] remove RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS related code

[Burakov, Anatoly]

Hi Thomas, David,

Thanks for your detailed explanations and insights, I now have a better picture. I still have to do a lot of catch up on dpdk.org tree and ecosystem, so please forgive my ignorance about some dpdk.org-related subjects at times :-)

Yes. I'll ack and rebase my patch once David's patch makes it into the tree then.
