Subject: [PATCH 00/21] Add control queue & MQ support to Virtio-user vDPA
Date: Thu,  9 Feb 2023 10:16:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230209091710.485512-1-maxime.coquelin@redhat.com> (raw)

This series introduces control queue support for Vhost-vDPA
backend. This is a requirement to support multiqueue, but
be usefull for other features like RSS for example.

Since the Virtio-user layer of the Virtio PMD must handle
some control messages, like the number of queue pairs to
be used by the device, a shadow control queue is created
at Virtio-user layer.

Control messages from the regular Virtio control queue
are still dequeues and handled if needed by the Virtio-user
layer, and are then forwarded to the shadow control queue
so that the physical vDPA device can handle them.

This model is similar to the one adopted by the QEMU
project.

In order to avoid code duplication, virtqueue allocation
and control queue message sending has been factored out
of the Virtio layer to be reusable by the Virtio-user
layer.

Finally, in order to support vDPA hardware which may
support large number of queues, last patch removes the
8 queue pairs limitation by dynamically allocating
vring metadata.

The series has been tested with Nvidia Cx-6 DX NIC
with up to 16 queue pairs:

# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3b\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3b\:00.1/sriov_numvfs
# modprobe vhost_vdpa
# modprobe mlx5_vdpa
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3b\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0000:3b:00.2 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind
# devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:3b:00.0 mode switchdev
# echo 0000:3b:00.2 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/bind
# vdpa dev add name vdpa0 mgmtdev pci/0000:3b:00.2 mac 00:11:22:33:44:03  max_vqp 16
# ulimit -l unlimited
# dpdk-testpmd -l 0,2,4,6 --socket-mem 1024,0  --vdev 'virtio_user0,path=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0' --no-pci -n 3 -- --nb-cores=3 -i --rxq=16 --txq=16

Changes in v3:
==============
- Trivial code simplifications (Eugenio)

Changes in v2:
==============
- Fix double spaces (Chenbo)
- Get rid of uneeded gotos (Stephen)
- Only allocate packed ring metadata if supported (Chenbo)
- Rebased on top of main
