[PATCH 0/1] dts: add driver binding on TG

[jspewock]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

Previously in DTS there was support for binding ports a node to
different drivers on a SUT, but there was no option on the TG. Since
there are likely to be some traffic generators in the future that would
require different drivers to operate properly, this support is something
that would likely be useful to have, and it very simple to add. All that
is done in this patch is moving functionality for copying the DPDK
tarball onto a host out of the SUT node and into the generic Node class
so that both the TG and the SUT can take advantage of DPDK tools. It
should be noted however that the TG node still does not build DPDK as it
likely wouldn't need the compiled binaries.

[PATCH 1/1] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

[jspewock]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

The DTS framework in its current state supports binding ports to
different drivers on the SUT node but not the TG node. The TG node
already has the information that it needs about the different drivers
that it has available in the configuration file, but it did not
previously have access to the devbind script, so it did not use that
information for anything.

This patch moves the steps to copy the DPDK tarball into the node class
rather than the SUT node class, and calls this function on the TG node
as well as the SUT. It also moves the driver binding step into the Node
class and triggers the same pattern of binding to ports that existed on
the SUT on the TG.

This is a very inefficient way to do this. We'll have to build DPDK 
twice and that's very time consuming. I was thinking in terms of just 
copying the script to the TG node and storing its location on the TG 
node. We should have access to the script whether DTS is run from the 
repository or a tarball.

This patch shouldn't be compiling DPDK twice, are you referring to the
process of copying the tarball over and extracting it taking too long?
If so, that makes sense that it takes longer than we need for this one
task. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have the whole DPDK directory
there, and that it could even be potentially useful to have it if the
TG ever needed it. That and it seemed like the most straightforward
way that kept these two set up in a similar way. Extracting the
tarball is obviously pretty quick, so I guess the real question here
is whether it is fine to add the time of one extra SCP of the DPDK
tarball around.

We should have access to it regardless, but extracting only that one
script would be different based on if it was a tarball or a repository
since, I believe at least, I would have to use the tarfile library to
read and extract only this one file to copy over if it was a tarball.
It would be faster I assume, so if you think it is worth it I could
make the change. Unless you are saying that we wouldn't need to take
the devbind script from the tarball that is passed into the DTS run
and instead assume that we can just go one directory up from `dts/` on
the runner host. That could be an interesting idea which would be
faster, but I wasn't sure if that was something that was fine to do
since (I don't think at least) there is anything that technically ties
you to running from in a DPDK directory other than the docker
container.

Re: [PATCH 1/1] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

[Patrick Robb]

Looks good to me, and I don't understand it as triggering a second
compile on the TG node.

I wonder whether the docstring for set_up_build_target() makes it
sound like it does though?

Ah, I didn't look carefully at the split. This is fine, but there some 
things I noticed.

As Patrick mentioned, the docstrings in Node.set_up_build_target() and 
SutNode.set_up_build_target() would need to be updated.
Why are we binding ports on the TG node?
This shouldn't really be part of set_up_build_target; set_up_test_run is 
a better place to put this, as we don't need to copy it for each build 
target. And, as I realized then thinking about the property (down 
below), we don't need to do that even per test_run; once per TG node's 
lifetime is enough.

You can run DTS from any directory, but currently DTS it's always going 
to be in a DPDK tree (there's no other way to get DTS), so I think it's 
safe to assume the script is there. We can put a variable pointing to 
dpdk_root into utils.py and use that.

My idea was copying that one file, nothing else (no tarball or anything 
would be needed).
I think we'd only need to move _remote_tmp_dir and 
_path_to_devbind_script to Node and then implement set_up_test_run() on 
the TG node to copy just the script (with self.main_session.copy_to()) 
and set _path_to_devbind_script. And I guess set _path_to_devbind_script 
in SutNode.tear_down_build_target() and TGNode.tear_down_test_run() 
since those seems to be missing.

But there's actually one more thing we could improve on top of that. 
_path_to_devbind_script could be a property which would be used the same 
way in SutNode, but in TGNode, we could copy the script only if it's 
None and set it back to None only when closing the Node (as we need to 
copy the script only once per TG node lifespan).

I figured that the assumption would be that whatever is in the config
file is what the TG needs to be bound to in order to run the testing,
similarly to how we always bind on the SUT assuming that we need to be
using the DPDK driver to test DPDK.

That makes sense to me actually considering the traffic generator
being used cannot change throughout the node's lifetime. I will make
that change.

Fair enough, I don't see why it would be run outside of the DPDK
directory in most cases. There is one situation where it could happen,
which is the runner target for the Docker container copies only the
DTS directory into the container when it "bakes DTS in." It does so
because it really only needs the .toml file for the poetry install
and, realistically, it seems like you should normally be mounting your
local DPDK directory over the DTS directory, but maybe that isn't
super clear. Out of scope for this patch, but just something to note.

Sure, that makes sense to me. I'll make that change.

Ah, I see. That makes sense now and we should do that. I was thinking a 
bit ahead. If we have two traffic generators, one for performance, one 
for functional testing, each using a different driver, we'd run into 
problems there. We're not there yet, so that's a problem that will need 
solving in a future patchset.

[PATCH v2 1/1] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

[jspewock]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

The DTS framework in its current state supports binding ports to
different drivers on the SUT node but not the TG node. The TG node
already has the information that it needs about the different drivers
that it has available in the configuration file, but it did not
previously have access to the devbind script, so it did not use that
information for anything.

This patch moves the location of the tmp directory as well as the method
for binding ports into the node class rather than the SUT node class and
adds an abstract method for getting the path to the devbind script into
the node class. Then, binding ports to the correct drivers is moved into
the build target setup and run on both nodes.

Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

[Juraj Linkeš]

I have some thoughts for the future:
1a. The traffic generator is specified per-node, so maybe we could also 
change the binding to be for the whole lifetime of the TG node,
1b. But the same is true for the SUT node as well, right? After we do 
the port update (with kernel driver), we can just bind to DPDK driver. 
With SUT in the mix, this looks like a change for a different patch,
2. We could add a symlink to the devbind script with the target being in 
the dts directory. This way we don't have to go outside the dts 
directory and if DTS ever become a python package, we could just copy 
the script to the appropriate place. This is also something we don't 
really need to do.

And also two minor comments. A lot of suggestions for separate patches 
overall. :-)

A note on the naming. We have _remote_tmp_dir and 
_path_to_devbind_script. Both are pointing to a remote file/dir, but 
only one has the _remote prefix. They should probably be unified.

I've thought a bit about what the right name is. Dropping the prefix 
makes sense; sut_node.tmp_dir should mean the tmp dir on the SUT node 
(which would make it remote from the execution host's point of view, but 
not the node's view; the file is local to SUT node). This could be a 
good separate patch (improving the remote/local naming scheme to make it 
consistent and as sensible as possible).

Local paths can be just pathlib.Path. PurePaths are for path 
manipulations only (useful for remote paths in RemoteSessions, 
OSSessions and Nodes), but for local existing paths we should use Path.

The OSSession and subclasses need a bit of an update in this regard - 
use Path for local paths and PurePaths for remote ones. We added this 
into our pre-built DPDK patch.

Right, these are good points. A good observation too that we only
really need the kernel driver at the start in both cases. You had
mentioned in your previous comments as well that we should only be
binding on the TG once per lifetime, but I ended up not adding it for
that very reason of I still wanted the binding to be in Node, but I
didn't want to change the process for the SUT.

I like this idea a lot actually. It feels very weird to me having to
step out of the DTS directory and I like the idea of keeping it
together like it were a package (even if it isn't yet).

I didn't think of this but you're right, the two are very similar but
named differently.

I also like the sound of it without the prefix and how it actually has
a more fitting meaning from the two perspectives. I agree that there
is probably some other work to be done on this in another patch, but
since I am moving the _remote_tmp_dir variable around anyway I think
it wouldn't hurt for me to rename it.

Ack. I tried to search for the differences between the two actually
and saw a similar answer that PurePaths are used for manipulation, but
I didn't fully understand as I am still manipulated this path and it
isn't referencing a real file on host where I am defining the variable
(what ever host is running DTS that is). This is a good distinction
though to use Paths when it is used as a local path somewhere.

Yes, we should pick one naming convention to be consistent in this patch 
and we can have a broader (framework-wide) look at this in a separate patch.

[PATCH v3 1/2] dts: add symbolic link to dpdk-devbind script

[jspewock]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

The devbind script is used throughout DTS to manage drivers on the
remote hosts. Currently, the only way to copy this script onto a host
is to either copy the entire DPDK directory onto a host, or reach out
of the dts directory into its parent DPDK directory to access the
script. The first is undesirable if the host doesn't require any other
DPDK tools since you would be copying extra unneeded information and
the second is undesirable since it enforces the assumption that DTS is
being run from within the DPDK directory. To solve this issue a symbolic
link is added which links the devbind script from the parent into the
DTS directory.

Since this file is not part of DTS and therefore is not expected to
follow DTS formatting rules, it is excluded from the DTS formatting
script.

[PATCH v3 2/2] dts: add binding to different drivers to TG node

[jspewock]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

The DTS framework in its current state supports binding ports to
different drivers on the SUT node but not the TG node. The TG node
already has the information that it needs about the different drivers
that it has available in the configuration file, but it did not
previously have access to the devbind script, so it did not use that
information for anything.

This patch moves the location of the tmp directory as well as the method
for binding ports into the node class rather than the SUT node class and
adds an abstract method for getting the path to the devbind script into
the node class. Then, binding ports to the correct drivers is moved into
the build target setup and run on both nodes.
