Dou to the issue described in "vhost: improve device ready definition"
patch here, we need to change the ready state definition in vhost device.

To support the suggestion improvment there is update for the host notifier control API.

Also need to skip access lock when vDPA device is configured.

As an arrangement to per queue operations in the vDPA device it is
needed to change the next experimental API:

The API ``rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl`` was changed to be per queue
instead of per device.

A `qid` parameter was added to the API arguments list.

Setting the parameter to the value VHOST_QUEUE_ALL will configure the
host notifier to all the device queues as done before this patch.

No need to take access lock in the vhost-user massage handler when
vDPA driver controls all the data-path of the vhost device.

It allows the vDPA set_vring_state operation callback to configure
guest notifications.

Some guest drivers may not configure disabled virtio queues.

In this case, the vhost management never triggers the vDPA device
configuration because it waits to the device to be ready.

The current ready state means that all the virtio queues should be
configured regardless the enablement status.

In order to support this case, this patch changes the ready state:
The device is ready when at least 1 queue pair is configured and
enabled.

So, now, the vDPA driver will be configured when the first queue pair is
configured and enabled.

Also the queue state operation is change to the next rules:
	1. queue becomes ready (enabled and fully configured) -
		set_vring_state(enabled).
	2. queue becomes not ready - set_vring_state(disabled).
	3. queue stay ready and VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE massage was
		handled - set_vring_state(enabled).

The parallel operations for the application are adjusted too.

Last changes in vDPA device management by vhost library may cause queue
ready state update after the device configuration.

So, there is chance that some queue configuration information will be
known only after the device was configured.

Add support to reconfigure a queue after the device configuration
according to the queue state update and the configuration changes.

Adjust the host notifier and the guest notification configuration to be
per queue and to be applied in the enablement process.

I would prefer two APIs that passing a special ID that means all queues:

rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl(int vid, uint16_t qid, bool enable);
rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl_all(int vid, bool enable);

I think it is clearer for the user of the API.
Or if you think an extra API is overkill, just let the driver loop on
all the queues.

This is not vDPA-only, even with SW datapath the application's
new_device callback never gets called.

This big array can be avoided if you save the ready status in the
virtqueue once message have been handled.

Couldn't we remove above condition? Aren't the callbacks already called

I think we should move this into a dedicated function, which we would
call in every message handler that can modify the ready state.

Doing so, we would not have to assume the master sent us disable request
for the queue before, ans also would have proper synchronization if the
request uses reply-ack feature as it could assume the backend is no more
processing the ring once reply-ack is received.

Shouldn't check on SET_VRING_CALL above be removed?

Thinking at it again, I think ready state should include whether or not
the queue is enabled. And as soon as a request impacting ring addresses
or call or kick FDs is handled, we should reset the modified value and
notify for state change in the imapcted queue. Then request is handled
and once the requests are handled, we can send state change updates if
any one changed.

Doing that, we don't have to assume the Vhost-user master will have send
the disable request before doing the state change. And if it did, the
'not ready' update won't be sent twice to the driver or application.

In case I am not clear enough, I have prototyped this idea (only
compile-tested). If it works for you, feel free to add it in your
series.

Thanks,
Maxime

Hi Maxime

Thanks for the fast review.
This is first version, let's review it carefully to be sure it is correct.
@Xiao Wang, it will be good to hear your idea too.
We also need to understand the effect on IFC driver/device...
Just to update that I checked this code with the mlx5 adjustments and I sent in this series.
It works well with the vDPA example application.

Yes, I wrote it below, I can be more specific here too in the next version.

You mean you prefer to save it in virtqueue structure? Desn't it same memory ?
In any case I don't think 0x100 is so big 😊

As we agreed in the design discussion:

" 3. Same handling of the requests, except that we won't notify the 
 vdpa driver and the application of vring state changes in the 
 VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE handler."  

So, I removed it from the set_vring_enable handler.

Now, the ready state doesn't depend only in VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE massage.

Makes sense to do it before reply-ack and to create dedicated function to it.

Doen't the vDPA conf should be called before reply-ack too to be sure queues are ready before reply?

If so, we should move also the device ready code below (maybe also vdpa conf) to this function too.
 
But maybe call it directly from this function and not from the specific massage handlers is better, something like the vhost_user_check_and_alloc_queue_pair function style.

What do you think?

Isn't it is a workaround for something?

We have a lot of options here with pros and cons.
I took the rte_eth_dev_callback_register style.

It is less intrusive with minimum code change.  

I'm not sure what is the clearest option but the current suggestion is well defined and 
allows to configure all the queues too.

Let me know what you prefer....

I mean in the stack.

And one advantage of saving it in the vq structure is for example you
have memory hotplug. The vq is in ready state in the beginning and in
the end, but during the handling the ring host virtual addresses get
changed because of the munmap/mmap and we need to notify the driver
otherwise it will miss it.

My bad, the patch context where it is removed made to think it was in
vhost_user_set_vring_err(), so I missed it.

Thinking at it again since last time we discussed it, we have to send
the notification from the handler in the case

I don't think so, because the backend can start processing the ring
after. What we don't want is that the backend continues to process the
rings when the guest asked to stop doing it.

So I don't think it is needed.

Normally, we should no more need it, as state change notification will
be sent if callfd came to change.

I personally don't like the style, but I can live with it if you prefer
doing it like that.

If you do it that way, you will have to rename VHOST_QUEUE_ALL to
RTE_VHOST_QUEUE_ALL, VHOST_MAX_VRING  to RTE_VHOST_MAX_VRING and
VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS to RTE_VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS as it will become
part of the ABI.

Not that it also means that we won't be able to increase the maximum
number of rings without breaking the ABI.

Do you think that 256B is too much for stack?

Do you mean VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE call after first configuration?

I don't understand what is the issue of saving it in stack here....

But one advantage of saving it in virtqueue structure is that the message handler should not check the ready state before each message.

I will change it in next version.

But "doing configuration after reply" may cause that the a guest kicks a queue while app \ vDPA driver is being configured.
It may lead to some order dependencies in configuration....

In addition, now, the device ready state becomes on only in the same time that a queue becomes on,
so we can do the device ready check (for new_device \ dev_conf calls) only when a queue becomes ready in the same function.

What's about defining RTE_VHOST_QUEUE_ALL as UINT16_MAX?

The issue is if you only check ready state only before and after the
message affecting the ring is handled, it can be ready at both stages,
while the rings have changed and state change callback should have been
called.

Please check the example patch I sent on Friday, it takes care of
invalidating the ring state and call the state change callback.

I get your point, we can try to move the configuration before the reply.

But looking at qemu source code, neither SET_VRING_KICK nor
SET_VRING_CALL nor SET_VRING_ENABLE request for reply-ack, so it won't
have any effect.

If you want, we can do try that too.

To move the .new_device and .dev_conf callbacks in the same fonction
that sends the vring change notifications? Yes, we can do that I think.

I am not fan, but it is better than basing it on VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS.

No, this is not enough, we have to check also during some handlers, so
that the ready state is invalidated because sometimes it will be ready
before and after the message handler but with different values.

That's what I did in my example patch:
@@ -1847,15 +1892,16 @@ vhost_user_set_vring_kick(struct virtio_net
**pdev, struct VhostUserMsg *msg,

...

        if (vq->kickfd >= 0)
                close(vq->kickfd);
+
+       vq->kickfd = VIRTIO_UNINITIALIZED_EVENTFD;
+
+       vhost_user_update_vring_state(dev, file.index);
+
        vq->kickfd = file.fd;


Without that, the ready check will return ready before and after the
kickfd changed and the driver won't be notified.

The driver will be notified in the next VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE message according to v1.

One of our assumption we agreed on in the design mail is that it doesn't make sense that QEMU will change queue configuration without enabling the queue again.
Because of that we decided to force calling state callback again when QEMU send VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE(1) message even if the queue is already ready.
So when driver/app see state enable->enable, it should take into account that the queue configuration was probably changed.

I think that this assumption is correct according to the QEMU code.

That's why I prefer to collect all the ready checks callbacks (queue state and device new\conf) to one function that will be called after the message handler:
Pseudo:
 vhost_user_update_ready_statuses() {
	switch (msg):
		case enable:
			if(enable is 1)
				force queue state =1.
		case callfd
		case kickfd
				.....
		Check queue and device ready + call callbacks if needed..
		Default
			Return;
}

Yes, this was our initial assumption.
But now looking into the details of the implementation, I find it is
even cleaner & clearer not to do this assumption.

I find it more natural to "invalidate" ready state where it is handled
(after vring_invalidate(), before setting new FD for call & kick, ...)

I think that if you go with this direction, if the first queue pair is invalidated, you need to notify app\driver also about device ready change.
Also it will cause 2 notifications to the driver instead of one in case of FD change.

Why not to take this correct assumption and update ready state only in one point in the code instead of doing it in all the configuration handlers around?
IMO, It is correct, less intrusive, simpler, clearer and cleaner.
In addition it saves the style that already used in this function in:
- vhost_user_check_and_alloc_queue_pair
- 	switch (request) {
	case VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_FD:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_NUM:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_BASE:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_KICK:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_CALL:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ERR:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE:
	case VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP:
	case VHOST_USER_NET_SET_MTU:
	case VHOST_USER_SET_SLAVE_REQ_FD:
			vhost_user_lock_all_queue_pairs(dev);

You'll always end-up with two notifications, either Qemu has sent the
disable and so you'll have one notification for the disable and one for
the enable, or it didn't sent the disable and it will happen at
old value invalidation time and after new value is taken into account.

I just looked closer at the Vhost-user spec, and I'm no more so sure
this is a correct assumption:

"While processing the rings (whether they are enabled or not), client
must support changing some configuration aspects on the fly."

I don't see it in current QEMU behavior.
When working MQ I see that some virtqs get configuration message while they are in enabled state.
Then, enable message is sent again later.

Ok, this doesn't explain how configuration is changed on the fly.
As I mentioned, QEMU sends enable message always after configuration message.

I guess you mean the first queue pair? And it would not be in ready
state as it would be the initial configuration of the queue?

I agree it lacks a bit of clarity.

Yes, but we should not do assumptions on current Qemu version when
possible. Better to be safe and follow the specification, it will be
more robust. There is also the Virtio-user PMD to take into account for
example.

Even after initialization when queue is ready.

I understand your point here but do you really want to be ready for any configuration update in run time?
What does it mean? How datatpath should handle configuration from control thread in run time while traffic is on?
For example, changing queue size \ addresses must stop traffic before...
Also changing FDs is very sensitive.

It doesn't make sense to me.

Also, according to "on the fly" direction we should not disable the queue unless enable message is coming to disable it.

In addition:
Do you really want to toggle vDPA drivers\app for any configuration message? It may cause queue recreation for each one (at least for mlx5).

I want to have something robust and maintainable.

These messages arriving after a queue have been configured once are rare
events, but this is usually the kind of things that cause maintenance
burden.

If you look at my example patch, you will understand that with my
proposal, there won't be any more state change notification than with
your proposal when Qemu or any other Vhost-user master send a disable
request before sending the request that impact the queue state.

It just adds more robustness if this unlikely event happens, by
invalidating the ring state to not ready before doing the actual ring
configuration change. So that this config change is not missed by the
vDPA driver or the application.

No response, so looks like you agree that it doesn't make sense.

Me too.

In case of guest poll mode (testpmd virtio) we all the time get callfd twice.

we didn't talk about disable time - this one is very simple.

Yes, In case the queue is disabled your proposal doesn't send extra notification as my.
But in case the queue is ready, your proposal send extra not ready notification for kikfd,callfd,set_vring_base configurations.

One more issue here is that there is some time that device is ready (already configured) and the first vittq-pair is not ready (your invalidate proposal for set_vring_base).
It doesn’t save the concept that device is ready only in case the first virtq-pair is ready.


I will not insist anymore on waiting for enable for notifying although I not fan with it.

So, I suggest to create 1 notification function to be called after message handler and before reply.
This function is the only one which notify ready states in the next options:

1. virtq ready state is changed in the queue.
2. virtq ready state stays on after configuration message handler.
3. device state will be enabled when the first queue pair is ready.

No, my reply was general to all your comments.

With SW backend, I agree we don't need to disable the rings in case of
asynchronous changes to the ring because we protect it with a lock, so
we are sure the ring won't be accessed by another thread while doing the
change.

For vDPA case that's more problematic because we have no such locking
mechanism.

For example memory hotplug, Qemu does not seem to disable the queues so
we need to stop the vDPA device one way or another so that it does not
process the rings while the Vhost lib remaps the memory areas.

I think this is necessary for synchronization with the Vhost-user
master (in case the master asks for this synchronization, like
set_mem_table for instance when reply-ack is enabled).

I understand the spec as "the device is ready as soon as the first queue
pair is ready", but I might be wrong.

Do you suggest to call the dev_close() vDPA callback and the
destroy_device() application callback as soon as one of the ring of the
first queue pair receive a disable request or, with my patch, when one
of the rings receives a request that changes the ring state?

IIUC, it will not disable the queues when there is a state change, is
that correct? If so, I think it does not work with memory hotplug case I
mentioned earlier.

Even for the callfd double change it can be problematic as Vhost-lib
will close the first one while it will still be used by the driver (Btw,
I see my example patch is also buggy in this regards, it should reset
the call_fd value in the virtqueue, then call
vhost_user_update_vring_state() and finally close the FD).

I means, your proposal actually may make first virtq-pair ready state disabled when device ready.
So, yes, it leads to call device close\destroy.

It will do enable again which mean - something was modified.

Yes, this one leads for different handle for each message.

Maybe it leads for new queue modify operation.
So, queue doesn't send the state - just does configuration change on the fly.

What do you think?

No it doesn't, there is no call to .dev_close()/.destroy_device() with
my patch if first queue pair gets disabled.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I think it is not enough for the examples I gave below. For
set_mem_table, we need to stop the device from processing the vrings
before the set_mem_table handler calls the munmap(), and re-enable it
after the mmap() (I did that wrong in my example patch, I just did
that after the munmap/mmap happened, which is too late).

I think that configuration on the fly doesn't fly.
We would at least need to stop the device from processing the rings for
memory hotplug case, so why not just send a disable notification?

And for the double callfd, that does not look right to me not to request
the driver to stop using it before it is closed, isn't it?

Yes, driver need notification here.

Yes, and some drivers (include mlx5) may stop the traffic in this case too.

modify\update operation will solve all:

For example:

In memory hotplug:
Do new mmap
Call modify
Do munmup for old.

In callfd\kickfd change:

Set new FD.
Call modify.
Close old FD.

Modify is clearer, save calls and faster (datapath will back faster).

It should work, but that is not light modifications to do in
set_mem_table handler (the function is quite complex already with
postcopy live-migration support).

With a modify callback, won't the driver part be more complex? Since it
would have to check which state has changed in the ring, and based on
that decide whether it should stop the ring or not.

As you says that in case of memory hotplug and double callfd, the driver
may stop processing the rings anyway, so would it be that much faster
than disabling/enabling the vring?

These events having a very rare occurrence, does it really matter if
it is a bit longer?

Just thinking again about memory hotplug:

Mlx5 driver device need to be reinitialized in this case because the NIC has memory translation which must be updated before the virtqs creation.

So, maybe we need to close and config the vDPA device in this case.

@Xiao Wang, can you comment the IFC behavior here.

Right, disabling vrings is not enough for memory hotplug.

It would make sense to call dev_close and dev_conf here, that's the most
conservative approach.

Due to the issue described in "vhost: improve device ready definition"
patch here, we need to change the ready state definition in vhost device.

To support the suggestion improvement there is update for the host notifier control API.

Also need to skip access lock when vDPA device is configured.

Add also support for configuration change when the device is ready.


Matan Azrad (5):
  vhost: skip access lock when vDPA is configured
  vhost: improve device readiness notifications
  vhost: handle memory hotplug with vDPA devices
  vhost: notify virtq file descriptor update
  vdpa/mlx5: support queue update

No need to take access lock in the vhost-user message handler when
vDPA driver controls all the data-path of the vhost device.

It allows the vDPA set_vring_state operation callback to configure
guest notifications.

Some guest drivers may not configure disabled virtio queues.

In this case, the vhost management never notifies the application and
the vDPA device readiness because it waits to the device to be ready.

The current ready state means that all the virtio queues should be
configured regardless the enablement status.

In order to support this case, this patch changes the ready state:
The device is ready when at least 1 queue pair is configured and
enabled.

So, now, the application and vDPA driver are notifies when the first
queue pair is configured and enabled.

Also the queue notifications will be triggered according to the new
ready definition.

Some vDPA drivers' basic configurations should be updated when the
guest memory is hotplugged.

Close vDPA device before hotplug operation and recreate it after the
hotplug operation is done.

When virtq call or kick file descriptors are changed in the device
configuration when the queue is ready, the application and the vDPA
driver should be notified to be aligned to the new file descriptors.

Notify the state to be disabled before the file descriptor update and
return it back to be enabled after the update.

Last changes in vDPA device management by vhost library may cause queue
ready state update after the device configuration.

So, there is chance that some queue configuration information will be
known only after the device was configured.

Add support to reconfigure a queue after the device configuration
according to the queue state update and the configuration changes.

Adjust the host notifier and the guest notification configuration to be
per queue and to be applied in the enablement process.

For now, this solution is general for all vendors. Later we may improve this by calling vendor's
callback as they may behave differently. For now this looks good to me :) (sorry that the reply
is late for memory hotplug discussion because of holiday). Thanks!

Due to the issue described in "vhost: improve device ready definition"
patch here, we need to change the ready state definition in vhost device.

To support the suggestion improvement there is update for the host notifier control API.

Also need to skip access lock when vDPA device is configured.

Add also support for configuration change when the device is ready.

v3:
Rebase.
Add missing commit: vhost: support host notifier queue configuration.

Matan Azrad (6):
  vhost: support host notifier queue configuration
  vhost: skip access lock when vDPA is configured
  vhost: improve device readiness notifications
  vhost: handle memory hotplug with vDPA devices
  vhost: notify virtq file descriptor update

As an arrangement to per queue operations in the vDPA device it is
needed to change the next experimental API:

The API ``rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl`` was changed to be per queue
instead of per device.

A `qid` parameter was added to the API arguments list.

Setting the parameter to the value RTE_VHOST_QUEUE_ALL configures the
host notifier to all the device queues as done before this patch.

No need to take access lock in the vhost-user message handler when
vDPA driver controls all the data-path of the vhost device.

It allows the vDPA set_vring_state operation callback to configure
guest notifications.

Some guest drivers may not configure disabled virtio queues.

In this case, the vhost management never notifies the application and
the vDPA device readiness because it waits to the device to be ready.

The current ready state means that all the virtio queues should be
configured regardless the enablement status.

In order to support this case, this patch changes the ready state:
The device is ready when at least 1 queue pair is configured and
enabled.

So, now, the application and vDPA driver are notifies when the first
queue pair is configured and enabled.

Also the queue notifications will be triggered according to the new
ready definition.

Some vDPA drivers' basic configurations should be updated when the
guest memory is hotplugged.

Close vDPA device before hotplug operation and recreate it after the
hotplug operation is done.

When virtq call or kick file descriptors are changed in the device
configuration when the queue is ready, the application and the vDPA
driver should be notified to be aligned to the new file descriptors.

Notify the state to be disabled before the file descriptor update and
return it back to be enabled after the update.

Last changes in vDPA device management by vhost library may cause queue
ready state update after the device configuration.

So, there is chance that some queue configuration information will be
known only after the device was configured.

Add support to reconfigure a queue after the device configuration
according to the queue state update and the configuration changes.

Adjust the host notifier and the guest notification configuration to be
per queue and to be applied in the enablement process.

Hi Matan,

In our daily regression test, we found this patch set will decrease virtio performance and causes virtio interrupt not working properly in multi queue scenarios.  
Could you help to take a look?
Details in Bugzilla  https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507, btw, pls use low qemu version(qemu<4.1) to reproduce the second issue since the case blocked by one qemu bug with high qemu version.

BR,
Yinan
