[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/9] rte_bus parse API

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/9] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

Two public functions are added to rte_bus to help bus recognition:

- rte_bus_from_name
- rte_bus_from_dev

These functions are made public because the bus handle within devargs
becomes the generic device type. Recognizing device types is useful for
buses and PMDs alike.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary and can be any character illegal within a bus name.
Subsequently, what is allowed within a bus name has been formally
defined and is now enforced.

This patchset depends on:

bus: attach / detach API

[Gaetan Rivet]

This operation can be used either to validate that a device
representation can be understood by a bus, as well as store the resulting
specialized device representation in any format determined by the bus.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/9] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

Two public functions are added to rte_bus to help bus recognition:

- rte_bus_from_name
- rte_bus_from_dev

These functions are made public because the bus handle within devargs
becomes the generic device type. Recognizing device types is useful for
buses and PMDs alike.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary and can be any character illegal within a bus name.
Subsequently, what is allowed within a bus name has been formally
defined and is now enforced.

[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus: attach / detach API

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/9] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

Two public functions are added to rte_bus to help bus recognition:

- rte_bus_from_name
- rte_bus_from_dev

These functions are made public because the bus handle within devargs
becomes the generic device type. Recognizing device types is useful for
buses and PMDs alike.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary and can be any character illegal within a bus name.
Subsequently, what is allowed within a bus name has been formally
defined and is now enforced.

[1]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065634.html
[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus: attach / detach API
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/066330.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24489/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

Gaetan Rivet (9):
  bus: fix bus name registration
  bus: verify bus name on registration
  bus: introduce parsing functionality
  vdev: implement parse bus operation
  pci: implement parse bus operation
  bus: add helper to find bus from a name
  bus: add helper to find a bus from a device name
  vdev: expose bus name
  devargs: parse bus info

I don't see the point of doing this. The --vdev parameter implicitly
defines the bus by its name (--vdev aka virtual device).

Why don't you add a commandline "--dev" parameter that supports a
"bus=" devarg? You would need to clarify what that means for other
busses than the virtual one. Is the bus switched into whitelist mode
by that?

No, please don't add this. One should know to what bus a device
belongs to before plugging it. Artificially encoding the parent bus
into the device name is not the right thing to do. Please keep those
things separate.

We cannot keep the current -w, -b and --vdev parameter. Those are
processed by the EAL, and use specifics from the virtual and PCI buses.

The rte_devargs rework has been to make the same functionality generic
to all rte_bus. As seen quickly in [2], rte_devargs has two functions:

* Validating a device declaration
* Keeping the relevant device info until it has been processed.

Both functionalities have been genericized. This results in all parameters
being able to be used with all types of devices. This is inherent to the
EAL becoming bus-agnostic.

Now, it is absolutely possible to rename for example -w as --dev, as it
is the expected behavior from users. This however should be discussed by
the community, last time I talked about the possibility of switching the
default of the PCI bus to whitelist mode the community wasn't all that
enthused by the prospect.

Finally, I do not like the idea of a special devarg just for declaring
explicitly buses for devices. The bus is not a device modifier, nor is
it a driver parameter. The bus is a way to define the location of the
device on the system. Adding a special "bus=" devargs means having some
preprocessing done on devargs upon rte_devargs allocation. This was
already abused by the bonding PMD with the driver= parameter. I do not
support this and did not want to repeat it. Passing down the device args
is a simple process and we should keep it as simple as possible.

I know you do not like having the bus as part of the device name.
As a compromise, I made the current system flexible and allowed the legacy
device definition to be kept.

However with a purely generic process, it is necessary to at least offer
the possibility to the user to explicitly use a bus, as nothing prevents
conflicting device names from existing.

The EAL has no way to know this currently. As you noted, it has to know
onto which bus a device belongs before plugging it.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/9] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

Two public functions are added to rte_bus to help bus recognition:

- rte_bus_from_name
- rte_bus_from_dev

These functions are made public because the bus handle within devargs
becomes the generic device type. Recognizing device types is useful for
buses and PMDs alike.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary and can be any character illegal within a bus name.
Subsequently, what is allowed within a bus name has been formally
defined and is now enforced.

[1]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065634.html
[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus: attach / detach API
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/066330.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24489/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3:

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

v3 --> v4:

  * Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
  * Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.

Gaetan Rivet (9):
  bus: fix bus name registration
  bus: verify bus name on registration
  bus: introduce parsing functionality
  vdev: implement parse bus operation
  pci: implement parse bus operation
  bus: add helper to find a bus from a bus name
  bus: add helper to find a bus from a device name
  vdev: expose bus name
  devargs: parse bus info

When plugging a device the users know about:
- bus name
- device name

Its not the case that the users invent the device names out of thin
air. The EAL shouldn't codify what the users of the EAL already know
about.

Yes, but in that case the user is forced to explicitly name the bus used
for a device.

I think it might be sufficient to have this as a private function to the
EAL, as it is currently only used within the rte_devargs parsing.
Applications could use this helper to recognize a bus from a device
name, but this is contrived.

I don't agree with the validation step. This is highly
device/driver/bus specific and I don't believe that just because you
have created a rte_devargs it is a guarantee that the device is valid.
Besides that it makes statically embedding rte_devargs into other
structures impossible. As I see it rte_devargs is a key-value list
with some keys that are generic. This would make application
development much easier.

Just remove it. Putting the knowledge of what bus a device name could
be for into code has failed before (e.g. biosdevname etc.). If the
application doesn't know what bus the device is living on we have a
different problem.

This means that devices will be declared as follows:

  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w virtual:net_ring0

Without a way to keep the legacy behavior.

It is the current API. If an rte_devargs is added to the global list,
then it means that the embedded information has been validated. I
kept the same behavior but made it generic in the new version.

Why? In the failsafe PMD, I statically embed an rte_devargs to avoid
having to insert one in the global device list to remove it afterward.
What limitation to this do you see? I think I misunderstand what you
mean.

The previously encoded information was:

- Scan policy / bus (in the type field)
- Device designation (PCI location / virtual driver)
- kvargs

Beside the kvargs, none were generic, so I made them so. I
divided the type field into two separate elements as it was conflating
two concepts.

I do not understand how much simpler we can make this. The fields have
not changed, nor has the information itself. Everything has however
been genericized, which is necessary.

This adds ':' as another character not usable in identifiers for buses.

I wouldn't touch the meaning of -w at all and instead use it as an alias for

--dev 00:02.0,bus=pci  --bus pci,whitelist

This would clearly separate the device arguments from the bus arguments.

What do you think? Does this make sense?

I understand your issue with this.
However, we are not forced to define a separating character that would thus
be forbidden within bus names.

We can strncmp() the name of the device, limited to strlen(bus->name).
If no bus name could be read this way, then we are sure to have a device
name (if we want to keep backward compability) or to throw an error if
we want to force defining the bus explicitly.

My current approach has been to define what is allowed within a bus name
and to limit the name comparison to the valid characters.
This allowed to use any illegal character as separator, but I think it
was a mistake. This is not a good, stable API for the future and does
not give clear rules to bus writers as to what is, or will be allowed
within a bus name.

But the strncmp approach allows the use of any separating character,
legal or illegal within a bus name. Additionally, it's then possible not
to add a magic devargs that must be parsed prior to device probing.

This last point is important I think. I am strongly opposed to having
parsing done upon the devargs, and to have any special logic added to
the rte_devargs constructor. As you saw with the driver= special
parameter, this led you to either add rte_kvargs as a dependency or roll
out your own parser. This was an undocumented hack for the bonding PMD test,
and personally I do not support this kind of addition to the public
rte_bus API.

I agree that we should add a --bus parameter or similar to offer bus
configuration.

I think that in the end, -w, -b and --vdev should disappear to only
leave a common --dev parameter, capable of handling all devices.

It may be possible to have a special rule for -w, -b for some time, that
would either prepend "PCI:" or append ",bus=PCI" to any device
definition, but this is hacky as it relies on PCI_BUS_NAME without
being able to include its definition.

But considering the possibility to declare a device without explicitly
naming its bus: if we go in this direction, then we already have a
public API that can be leveraged for this. The implementation is
simple and can be made private to the EAL if exposing it is a problem.
Additionally it does not inject implicit bus dependencies within the
EAL.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/7] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

Two public functions are added to rte_bus to help bus recognition:

- rte_bus_from_name
- rte_bus_from_dev

These functions are made public because the bus handle within devargs
becomes the generic device type. Recognizing device types is useful for
buses and PMDs alike.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary and can be any character illegal within a bus name.
Subsequently, what is allowed within a bus name has been formally
defined and is now enforced.

[1]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065634.html
[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus: attach / detach API
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/066330.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24489/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3:

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

v3 --> v4:

  * Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
  * Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.

v5:

  * Do not verify bus name on bus registration.
    Actually, a legal bus name is not defined anymore.
    The bus/device separator in a device declaration can be anything,
    as long as it is a single character.
    The behavior is otherwise unchanged.

  bus: introduce parsing functionality
  vdev: implement parse bus operation
  pci: implement parse bus operation

Just to note there are some errors on apply with this set after applying
the latest version of the dependent patches. Nothing that's hard to fix,
mind - this set just needs a new version after the attach/detach API set
is applied.

I think the rte_bus_from_name changes should go in a separate patch, as
they are not part of the PCI changes.

Content-wise, it looks good though, so keep my ack on both patches if
split.

I still don't agree with this. The bus name should be passed
explicitly by the user of the API.

NAK.

This is breaking expectations with users. All other registration macro
pass the names through the stringification. The problem is that you
pass in the name as a string already ("PCI" instead of PCI).

Again, I don't think this makes sense to have. Also there is no user
for this as far as I can see. The bus specific device representation
should come from the scan function instead of this.

Please explain why you think the bus name should be explicit.
If the bus is ambiguous, it can be explicited by the user.

I see some good benefits in being tolerant with the bus/device
representation. It provides a smooth transition to the bus model.

We build libraries. The applications we build with the help of those
libraries get notified by the OS about device events. Those devices
are chields of their parent bus. At the time the event is fired the OS
already knows about:

- the bus name (parent)
- the device name (child)
- additional event parameters (environment)

Blame me that I probably spent too much time with Kay Sievers and
GregKH to understand that device naming is easy to get wrong. Just
look at the hyperv device names and how they switched to the UUID
scheme. I don't think that hyperv is the only bus that uses UUID as
device identification. We should not codify a policy of how to deduce
a bus name from a given device name if that is knowledge that is
already present externally. Otherwise I fear this part of the EAL will
be subject to constant churn.

OK I understand your point that it is a weak identification.
It is as weak as what we have currently.
It works at least when we have only PCI and VDEV.
However it does not prevent to use a strong identification with
bus and parent names.
I see rte_bus_from_dev() as a helper to transition to the new strong
identification model. So we could remove it in few releases.
Does it make sense?

I agree in the context of device events.
But this development concerns all device identification scheme, not only
in the context of hotplug where we can retrieve events giving proper
info. It is parsing user input as well (command line or configuration).

In this user-centric device specification, the issue is that the current
model expect the user to provide the bus implicitly by using the right
parameter (--vdev, -w). This identification *cannot* stay, as those are
parsed within the EAL and specifics are getting out.

What is left is thus a choice: either

* We let the current scheme work for a time, while the EAL is being cleaned
  out, during which we need some crutch to emulate the current behavior

* We force all users to migrate to the new format straight away with a
  full identification scheme.

I planned for both eventuality in my deprecation notice, by warning that
device parameters and definition might change this version. However,
while I thought that it was possible it would happen, I think it is best
to provide as much stability as possible while we work out the EAL
internals.

This API is only there because I choose to keep backward compatibility.
A compromise might be to make it private to the EAL (I proposed it
before but no one really responded so I haven't acted on it). This would
help the future transition to the fully-qualified-device-identifier that
we will have to require from our users.

I'd like to hear from other DPDK devs as I think that surprising users
is not something that should be done lightly. I understand your concern
and am not opposed to address it.

I'm all in favour of stability and backward compatibility, so I don't like the option of forcing users to change just now - especially as the whole picture is not yet complete. Once we are sure we have a fully settled new scheme, then we can being to deprecate the old.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/6] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary.

[1]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065634.html
[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus attach/detach API and hotplug rework
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-June/069643.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/26135/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3:

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

v3 --> v4:

  * Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
  * Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.

v5:

  * Do not verify bus name on bus registration.
    Actually, a legal bus name is not defined anymore.
    The bus/device separator in a device declaration can be anything,
    as long as it is a single character.
    The behavior is otherwise unchanged.

v6:

  * Rebase upon new hotplug patchset version.
  * Rename rte_bus_from_dev as rte_bus_find_by_device_name.
    This function is now private to the EAL.
  * Remove rte_bus_from_name, as it has been integrated as
    rte_bus_find_by_name by Jan Blunck.
  * Reduce parsing ambiguity in rte_devargs.

I agree that it does not behave as expected.
However, all buses are currently using it this way, and this
cannot be fixed if maintainers keep using public define's
for their bus name.

I think it makes sense that scanning would store this representation
yes. The issue is that it requires another rte_bus_scan API evolution,
which is beyond this patchset.

Keep in mind that I was bound when writing this to follow the existing
API. I agree that some cleanup could come up in the EAL, but it cannot
all happen at once. These first steps (generic devargs / vdev & PCI move
to drivers/bus) serve to trim the EAL before these changes.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 5/6] bus: add helper to find a bus from a device name

[Gaëtan Rivet]

I made this API private, however we can see the bonding PMD could use
this kind of facility:

http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-July/070087.html

I know the failsafe could leverage this, as well as another bus idea I
threw together a few weeks ago[1].

So maybe I should make it public? This can always be fixed
past-integration though, and I'd prefer being able to go forward on the
PCI move.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] bus: fix driver registration

[Thomas Monjalon]

The bus name was stored with embedded double quotes.
Indeed the bus name is given with a string in a macro,
which is not used elsewhere.
These macros are useless because the buses are drivers,
so they must not have any API for the application writer.
The registration can be done with a hardcoded value without quotes.

There is another (small) benefit of not using macros for driver names:
it is to have a meaningful constructor function name.
For instance, it was businitfn_PCI_BUS_NAME instead of businitfn_pci.

The bus registration macro is also changed to use
the new RTE_INIT_PRIO macro, similar to RTE_INIT used for other drivers.
The priority is the highest (101) in order to be sure that the bus driver
is registered before its device drivers.

Fixes: 0fd1a0eaae19 ("pci: add bus driver")
Fixes: fea892e35f21 ("bus/vdev: use standard bus registration")
Fixes: 7e7df6d0a41d ("bus/fslmc: introduce fsl-mc bus driver")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 0/6] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary.

[1]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065634.html
[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus attach/detach API and hotplug rework
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-June/069643.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/26135/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3:

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

v3 --> v4:

  * Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
  * Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.

v5:

  * Do not verify bus name on bus registration.
    Actually, a legal bus name is not defined anymore.
    The bus/device separator in a device declaration can be anything,
    as long as it is a single character.
    The behavior is otherwise unchanged.

v6:

  * Rebase upon new hotplug patchset version.
  * Rename rte_bus_from_dev as rte_bus_find_by_device_name.
    This function is now private to the EAL.
  * Remove rte_bus_from_name, as it has been integrated as
    rte_bus_find_by_name by Jan Blunck.
  * Reduce parsing ambiguity in rte_devargs.

v7:

  * Use Thomas' bus registration fix.
  * Improve rte_bus_find_by_device_name, by making
    more resistant to shaky bus parse implementation.

Gaetan Rivet (5):
  bus: introduce parsing functionality
  vdev: implement parse bus operation
  pci: implement parse bus operation
  bus: add helper to find a bus from a device name
  devargs: parse bus info

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 1/6] bus: fix driver registration

[Gaetan Rivet]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

The bus name was stored with embedded double quotes.
Indeed the bus name is given with a string in a macro,
which is not used elsewhere.
These macros are useless because the buses are drivers,
so they must not have any API for the application writer.
The registration can be done with a hardcoded value without quotes.

There is another (small) benefit of not using macros for driver names:
it is to have a meaningful constructor function name.
For instance, it was businitfn_PCI_BUS_NAME instead of businitfn_pci.

The bus registration macro is also changed to use
the new RTE_INIT_PRIO macro, similar to RTE_INIT used for other drivers.
The priority is the highest (101) in order to be sure that the bus driver
is registered before its device drivers.

Fixes: 0fd1a0eaae19 ("pci: add bus driver")
Fixes: fea892e35f21 ("bus/vdev: use standard bus registration")
Fixes: 7e7df6d0a41d ("bus/fslmc: introduce fsl-mc bus driver")

I just noticed that Bruce has already Acked the patch which is super-seeded by this. I didn't mean to conflict here.

I don't have a reservation to either of these - but, I like this patch as it does away with priority as well as need for drivers to define an internal name strings. Thus, my ACK to this.

It is possible to use a constant here? Basically, I am not sure why '32' 
has been chosen - or maybe, it might remind a reader in future the 
reason for this value.

Just to clarify: is there any documented limit on bus name? Until this 
point, the name (and length) of bus was responsibility of bus driver 
implementation. eal_common_bus.c doesn't codify any limit - so, this may 
have to be advertised, even if just within the code.

I saw a lot of discussion on the naming assumptions/presumptions. 
Though, I am not sure I have an understood conclusion from that.
So, this might be incorrect/ill-informed:

Is it assumed that ',' is not present in device name?

Do you think it would be better if this is documented that ',' in a 
device name is reserved (as per devargs)? (or, is this already known?)

For example, in case of DPAA2 devices, I didn't consider this as a case 
while generating names while scanning the bus (though, I didn't have a 
',' in the name). But, if a well known fact, bus drivers can normalize 
their device names before creating device names.

I agree that this is not clear. First thing however: this is a limit on
the device name length, not bus.

This problem is fixed in [1], as a single common device name location is
defined. The problem is that it is in another patchset (even if both are
closely linked and were only separated to ease integration).

This limit was currently taken from the arbitrary limit of device in
name in the original rte_devargs for virtual devices. I think it could
be exported as a define by rte_dev.h, used there and reused in [1] to
define the new rte_devargs structure.

Would that be ok with you?

For this release cycle the discussion was mostly about forbidding (or
not forbidding) characters in bus names. This character is one
limitation previously defined for device names, to separate the device
name from its kvargs.

I am thus following the current rte_devargs API.
Not sure if that's documented. There are examples in doc, but maybe this
device name limitation is not explicitly said.

Ok. I hadn't yet gone through it yet - so, didn't notice.
I will look through that as well.
But, if this is already taken care of in that series, consider my 
comment resolved.

For the purpose of this patch, this is OK.
I will read through that patch series and comment if there is something 
I have comments on. Thanks for highlighting.

I agree. There doesn't seem to be much devargs related documentation 
anyways. (is there?)

If someone uses a ',' name (ignorantly), they would get a failure from 
this function because of partial name match.

But its worth documenting - now that EAL (Bus scan) allows device an 
arbitrary naming (no more just PCI and VDEV).
(I will try to write something and push as patch - that is, if I have 
enough understanding of devargs subsystem.)

Shouldn't these go under bus args for PCI?
It would be good to get all the bus specific args out of generic code.

Trivial: Any specific reason why this is split across multiple lines

A very basic (and possibly incorrect) question:

here, for example "'net_pcap0,rx_pcap=input.pcap,tx_pcap=output.pcap'" 
was passed to application, which would mean;

dev = "net_pcap0" (name of the device)
devargs = "rx_pcap=input.pcap,tx_pcap=output.pcap"

Assuming "vdev" bus:
                       "net_pcap0"
                             |
devname points here --------' (4+1) chars from start of "net_pcap0".
Is that the expectation?

Probably I am missing something here (maybe the input already has a bus 
name.)

Or, if this is not the case, then we will have to change the test 
application (test_devargs.c) which passes such strings to 
"rte_eal_devargs_add".

> +		if (rte_bus_find_by_device_name(devname) == bus)

Obviously, if my assumption is correct, this fails. Or, maybe I am 
completely off the mark.

I think all this will change in the devargs series.

_parse handler in _common_vdev or common_pci file return boolean value 
i.e..0 for success and 1 for error, right? if so then
!0 for any error would be like '1' for error case.. make sense?

Not really, it's only a matter of taste.
If is mostly to hightlight that we are limiting the comparison to
bus->name length, by putting it on its own line.

Mean that at this point, we would already have broken out of the loop.
But to continue with your example, assuming that we have a bus that
is named "net_p":

It should not be necessary to update the tests (yet).
This bit of code tries to recognize bus names at the start of the
declaration. However, some device names might be ambiguous and start
like bus names for any reason. Device names have no specification beside
not having commas within, bus names have no specification at all.

Thus, we first try here to recognize a bus name within dev, but we do
not stop here. We also verify afterward that the resulting device would
be correct, and that its bus handler is actually the same as the bus we
first recognized.

In your example, the line


> >+        if (rte_bus_find_by_device_name(devname) == bus)

Fails, as the device is incorrect and rte_bus_find_by_device_name
returns NULL as no bus is able to handle a device named

> "cap0,rx_pcap=input.pcap,tx_pcap=output.pcap"

Considering this, we should break from this loop with no recognized bus.
As such, we enter afterward in the branch:

Note here that devname is set back to the start of dev.

Which will try to recognize a bus from the device name ("net_pcap0"),
which should succeed in recognizing vdev.

It is a little contrived, but I wanted this parsing to both be flexible
and perform as many checks as possible.

I am developing a new bus that have a high probability of name conflicts
with other device names, so I am extra careful on this side.

Please check this patch which was integrated yesterday:
	http://dpdk.org/commit/48d8675c9cf
Now you can use RTE_DEV_NAME_MAX_LEN instead of hardcoded 32.

Yes I just saw that while rebasing, it's exactly what I needed. It will
be in the next version.

I thought of that yes, and actually your suggestion was the first
version I used.

Ultimately however, this function is not only saying "can parse": it is
not merely a test of being able to process the input, but also the
process itself. The test value is then a byproduct.

As such, I decided to settle on the standard "0 means nothing of note
happened, carry on".

I'm not aware of past work history, catching up with stuff so no
strong opinion but In my opinion: if we're sure about return values then better
mention them explicitly.

That's the way it has been implemented in vdev and pci, but other buses
might want to use internal helpers in their version, that might return
something else than 1 on error.

As such, I think it's better to push the weakest specification
sufficient to match our needs and not force unnecessary hoops on
developers downstream.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 0/6] rte_bus parse API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].

This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.

The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:

  --vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
  -w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0

This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary.

[2]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065670.html

This patchset depends on:

bus attach/detach API and hotplug rework
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-June/069643.html
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/26135/

v1 -> v2:

  * fix PCI parse implementation

v2 --> v3:

  * Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API

v3 --> v4:

  * Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
  * Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.

v5:

  * Do not verify bus name on bus registration.
    Actually, a legal bus name is not defined anymore.
    The bus/device separator in a device declaration can be anything,
    as long as it is a single character.
    The behavior is otherwise unchanged.

v6:

  * Rebase upon new hotplug patchset version.
  * Rename rte_bus_from_dev as rte_bus_find_by_device_name.
    This function is now private to the EAL.
  * Remove rte_bus_from_name, as it has been integrated as
    rte_bus_find_by_name by Jan Blunck.
  * Reduce parsing ambiguity in rte_devargs.

v7:

  * Use Thomas' bus registration fix.
  * Improve rte_bus_find_by_device_name, by making
    more resistant to shaky bus parse implementation.

v8:

  * Fix a few incorrect bus name references.
  * Add a few acks.
  * Clarify the standing of the bus parse API in its
    introductory commit log.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 1/6] bus: fix driver registration

[Gaetan Rivet]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

The bus name was stored with embedded double quotes.
Indeed the bus name is given with a string in a macro,
which is not used elsewhere.
These macros are useless because the buses are drivers,
so they must not have any API for the application writer.
The registration can be done with a hardcoded value without quotes.

There is another (small) benefit of not using macros for driver names:
it is to have a meaningful constructor function name.
For instance, it was businitfn_PCI_BUS_NAME instead of businitfn_pci.

The bus registration macro is also changed to use
the new RTE_INIT_PRIO macro, similar to RTE_INIT used for other drivers.
The priority is the highest (101) in order to be sure that the bus driver
is registered before its device drivers.

Fixes: 0fd1a0eaae19 ("pci: add bus driver")
Fixes: fea892e35f21 ("bus/vdev: use standard bus registration")
Fixes: 7e7df6d0a41d ("bus/fslmc: introduce fsl-mc bus driver")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 2/6] bus: introduce parsing functionality

[Gaetan Rivet]

This operation can be used either to validate that a device
representation can be understood by a bus, as well as store the resulting
specialized device representation in any format determined by the bus.

Implementing this function allows EAL initialization routines to infer
which bus should handle a device. This is used as a way to respect
backward compatibility.

This API will disappear once this compatibility is not enforced anymore.

I don't think you need the _name variable hack. C will cast the argument to strncmp

generic parameter, but in this case it may be too trivial.
