Align msix_table->offset with RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR maybe get 0 if the offset is less than page size in the PCI bar. It will trigger mmap() error. IIRC the input parameter "size" in mmap() is not required to be aligned with page size, system will do it. But it is better if we can do it. If I was wrong, please correct me.

I agree with you. It worth aligning the size. I will update code (RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR by page size) in next version. >> I'd like to discuss one case with you. In the case, base->size is 16384, msix_table->offset is 8192, page_size is 65536. After align "msix_table->offset" with page_size (RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR), the value of "table_start" is 0, mmap() will report error, and the memory mapping is failed. >> For the case (table_start is 0 after the aglinment), may I continue falling back the "table_start" to " msix_table->offset" (not aligned with page size), and left system adjust the length automatically? Thanks! > > Please correct me if i'm wrong, but this is a code path for when we're trying to mmap around the MSI-X BAR. Kernel will not allow us to do that, period, so whatever start/end addresses you get, they *must not* include a single byte of MSI-X BAR. So, in case like you described, i think we should just straight up refuse the map the entire BAR. > > However, as i do not have a system with such properties to test on, so please correct me if i'm wrong here :) > > > Tone: I understand and agree with you. 😊 > > Please have a look at my test case. In my case, I tried to bind NVMe device with VFIO driver and the kernel page size is 64KB. Without the change, the test is failed. > > From the debug information, I observed that "bar->size" is 16384, "msix_table->offset" is 8192 and "msix_table->size" is 512. Regarding the page size is much bigger than the "bar->size", in the change, the code maps the first 8192 bytes ahead of MSI-X table. After align with the page size boundary, the "start" offset after the MSI-X table is over "bar->size", mmap() reports error. In this case, I can only map the memory before the MSI-X table. After fall back "table_start" to " msix_table->offset " (i.e. 8192 bytes), and NOT mapping the memory behind MSI-X table, the NVMe device can be bound to VFIO driver, and the test is passed. The kernel version in my test environment is 4.16. > > So in the change, I do not map any byte of MSI-X table, unfortunately I cannot align the memory "size" in mmap() to page size boundary. From the test result, the change fixes the error. The case looks a little tricky. If we refuse the memory map here, it means we cannot bind VFIO driver with some PCI devices with 64KB kernel page size. I hope we can support such case in DPDK. 😊 Hi Tone, If it works and doesn't impact any other cases, i'm happy to include the above change (i.e. fall back to unaligned offset if aligning it results in zero offset). I'm curious what would happen if there's something else after the MSI-X table as well, and what alignments would be required for that... But i would rather wait for someone to come to us with an actual test case for that as well :) > >> >> -- >> Thanks, >> Anatoly >> > > > -- > Thanks, > Anatoly > -- Thanks, Anatoly
