Looks good to me

Just one question: dpdk is only supported on little-endian
platforms at the moment, right?
virtio 1 spec requires little endian.

Marcel, that's actually one of my TODOs in this quarter. So, thank
you! :)

AFAIK, yes. But you might also see that there are some patch to add
ARM arch support showed up in the mailing list few weeks ago.

> virtio 1 spec requires little endian.

I made a quick list of the difference between virtio v0.95 and v1.0
months ago just by reading your kernel commits of adding v1.0 support:

    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+
    |                   |     v0.95       |  v1.0                        |
    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+
1)  | features bits     |     32          |  64                          |
    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+
2)  | Endianness        |     nature      |  Little Endian               |
    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+
3)  | vring space       |     contiguous  |  avail and used buffer could |
    |                   |     memory      |  be on a separate memory     |
    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+
4)  | FEATURE_OK status |     No          |   Yes                        |
    +-------------------+-----------------+------------------------------+



For 1), I guess we have been using 64 bit for storing features bits
for vhost since long time ago. So, there should be no extra effort.

For 2), as stated, there might be no issue as far as DPDK is little
endian only. But we'd better add a wrapper for that, as it seems
adding big endian support would come in near future.

For 3), are we actually doing that? I just saw that there is a kernel
patch to introduce two functions for getting the avail and used buffer
address, respectively.  But I didn't see that the two buffer are
allocated in non-contiguous memory.

For 4), it's a work we should do at virtio PMD driver. And it seems
that there are far more work need to be done at virtio PDM driver than
at vhost lib, say, adding the virtio morden PCI support.

Besides those 4 differs, did I miss anyting?


BTW, since we already have same TODOs, I guess it'd be better to
share what we have in our TODO list. Here are what I got till the
time writing this email (in order of priority):

- a vhost performance issue (it might last long; it might not).

- vhost-user live migration support

- virtio 1.0 support, including PMD and vhost lib (and you guys have
  already done that :)

Thanks.

Luckily, that's also little-endian.

OK, but it probably doesn't

That will soon happen, anyone claiming support for virtio 1

But vhost user already sends each ring part separately.
Does dpdk assume they are contigious?

differences. The trick is to find "legacy interface"

This patch only touches the vhost lib, though.

[Andriy Berestovskyy]

Hi guys,
Just a minor note: ARM is bi-endian in fact. For instance, there are
both endians tool chains available on Linaro.

Yea. BE support is around for legacy stuff.  So I'm not sure it's all
that important to support that mode in NFV/DPDK applications.

If it becomes important, for virtio 0.9 you won't be able to
support transparently in dpdk anyway - you'll need a new
vhost-user message to get the endian-ness of the guest,
and do byteswaps conditionally, adding overhead.

Maybe going virtio 1 only is the sane thing to do for these
applications.

A recent release added in support for PPC (patches supplied by IBM). For

This will require more work then as 1.0 is a different
endian-ness from 0.9. It's up to you guys to decide
whether correct BE support is now a requirement for all
new dpdk code. Let us know.

I'm not sure to understand.
Yes DPDK must work on big endian platforms.
Does this patch prevent from using virtio 0.9 with big endian?
Does it work with old QEMU not supporting virtio 1.0?

Hi,

> Does this patch prevent from using virtio 0.9 with big endian?

No, if it worked until now, will continue to work. (And the other way around)

However, if virtio 1.0 is supported by both QEMU and vhost-user,
virtio 1.0 has different endianess requirements than prev virtio,
Michael can better elaborate more.


> Does it work with old QEMU not supporting virtio 1.0?

Yes, it does. virtio 1.0 will be enabled only if the feature
is supported by both QEMU and vhost-user backend, otherwise
it will work as before.

Marcel

OK so that's an acceptable workaround: big endian platforms must use
virtio 0.9.

In order to have a big endian support of virtio 1.0, is it sufficient to
convert data? Is it something we want regarding performance?

I think that converting the data should be enough, however Michael can give
a more knowledgeable answer, we'll have to wait a few days for him as
he is not available this week.

Hi,

This is weird, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 is defined in 4.0 (I think), and for sure in 4.1 .
You can see commit 4ec22fae (virtio: add virtio 1.0 feature bit) from 2014-10-22 in kernel git.

Can you please check a mismatch in header files of your development machine?

Thanks,
Marcel

Everybody (including me) forgot the support of older kernel.
Please provide a fix ASAP.

Sure, I'll send a fix today. (on top of my prev patch)

No it doesn't. virtio 0.9 with big endian most likely does not work
reliably with vhost-user at the moment since qemu does not tell vhost-user
about guest endian-ness (though it's common to have it match host,
then it will work by luck).

> Does it work with old QEMU not supporting virtio 1.0?

Yes it does.

virtio 1 requires a bunch of fields to be little endian.
If someone uses this patch with new QEMU on BE machine,
things won't work: you need
	if (virtio_1)
		cpu_to_le
On LE, cpu_to_le is a NOP so things work by luck.

In other words this patch is fine, more is needed to make virtio 1
work on BE hosts.
