[dpdk-dev] Issues of MSIx interrupt enable with user space driver

[dpdk-dev] Issues of MSIx interrupt enable with user space driver

[James (Fei) Liu-SSI]

Hi All,
    We are porting driver from kernel into user space driver with DPDK for one of our devices. Polling thread works fine without any issue. However, we want to switch from polling to interrupt based handler. While we enable interrupt with VFIO MSIx, we always get below errors after issuing one command:
  
[  465.464186] dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[  465.464194] dmar: INTR-REMAP: Request device [[02:00.0] fault index 27
[  465.464194] INTR-REMAP:[fault reason 34] Present field in the IRTE entry is clear

Here are steps we follow to enable interrupt:
1. --vfio-intr msix   was passed in as parameter for rte_eal_init
2. rte_intr_enable was called during the drive probe stage.
3. rte_intr_callback_register was called after interrupt was enabled



Is there anyone in the forum who worked on the interrupt handler to share with us about your comments? thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
James

[Zhou, Danny]

The V6 "Interrupt PMD" patch has been sent out to DPDK.org 2 months ago, and V7 is under development with changes 
to include more generic APIs that could support all kinds of interrupts (e.g. HW Rx interrupt and SW ring interrupt). 

Stay tuned.

Do you have kernel version in your build environment that has <linux/vfio.h> ?

Do you have iommu enabled on your target machine?

Did you program the MSI-X correctly?

Do you have kernel version in your build environment that has <linux/vfio.h> ?
[James] The kernel version is 3.17.2

Do you have iommu enabled on your target machine?
[James] Yes

Did you program the MSI-X correctly?
[James] We can issues several admin commands successfully with interrupt enabled , however. It is going to fail during IO traffic. By the way, we are using DPDK for PCIe storage driver development. Have you guys ever use dpdk for PCIe storage device?

Thanks so much.

James

Hi Danny,

  Thanks  a lot for your promptly answer. I am going to check your patch soon. In the mean time, Have you guys ever try DPDK with PCIe storage device?

Re: [dpdk-dev] Issues of MSIx interrupt enable with user space driver

[Zhou, Danny]

DPDK is aimed to drive PCIe NIC device for high performance packet processing only. While we do have a Waikiki Beach project that
integrates user space DPDK PMD and NVMe poll mode iSCSI target and NVMe backend together to improve performance of storage.
