[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 0/5] use IOVAs check based on DMA mask

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 0/5] 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

v3:
 - add new API functions to map files

v4:
 - add sanity check for dma mask bits
 - remove rte_eth_dev_check_dma_mask

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 1/5] 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.

Applicable to v17.11.3 only.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 2/5] 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.

Applicable to v17.11.3 only.

As I do not know enough on what IOMMU hardware can coexist, I leave this 
patch for others to review.
Here is the previous question/answer:

If the above is confirmed, you can consider this patch ack’ed.

As far as my knowledge goes, the above is correct. There can't be more 
than one IOMMU type per platform, and limitations specific for IOMMU 
controller apply to all devices, not just one.

I'm not sure if it's possible to have two IOMMU controllers of the same 
type with different address width, but i think even if it is possible, 
we can safely consider this to be unlikely :)

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 3/5] 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.

Applicable to v17.11.3 only.

It is not applicable to master but it should for 17.11.3. Adding
stable@dpdk.org to this thread.

Uhmm, maybe a patch for 18.11 could be created now. I was thinking about
these ones:

Support externally allocated memory in DPDK


Support running DPDK without hugetlbfs mountpoint

But they are not going to be in 18.11, so I will submit the patch asap, but
I'm afraid it will be for stable 18.11.1
Next three weeks I'm on PTO, so hopefully I can submit the patch early
September.

The process is to send the patches to stable@dpdk.org with
[PATCH 17.11] in the subject.
Then it must decided of accepting the exception or not.

We are not going to apply them to 18.11.1. It should be in 18.11.0.
If you send them really early September, it can be fine.

External memory allocators is an RFC intended for 18.11. In-memory mode 
patches are already applied IIRC.
