[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4 for 2.3] vhost-user live migration support

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4 for 2.3] vhost-user live migration support

[Yuanhan Liu]

This patch set adds the initial vhost-user live migration support.

The major task behind that is to log pages we touched during
live migration. So, this patch is basically about adding vhost
log support, and using it.

Patchset
========
- Patch 1 handles VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE, which tells us where
  the dirty memory bitmap is.
    
- Patch 2 introduces a vhost_log_write() helper function to log
  pages we are gonna change.

- Patch 3 logs changes we made to used vring.

- Patch 4 sets log_fhmfd protocol feature bit, which actually
  enables the vhost-user live migration support.

A simple test guide (on same host)
==================================

The following test is based on OVS + DPDK. And here is guide
to setup OVS + DPDK:

    http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/vhost-user-ovs-dpdk

1. start ovs-vswitchd

2. Add two ovs vhost-user port, say vhost0 and vhost1

3. Start a VM1 to connect to vhost0. Here is my example:

   $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3333,server,nowait -curses

4. run "ping $host" inside VM1

5. Start VM2 to connect to vhost0, and marking it as the target
   of live migration (by adding -incoming tcp:0:4444 option)

   $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost1  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3334,server,nowait -curses \
       -incoming tcp:0:4444 

6. connect to VM1 monitor, and start migration:

   > migrate tcp:0:4444

7. After a while, you will find that VM1 has been migrated to VM2,
   and the "ping" command continues running, perfectly.


Note: this patch set has mostly been based on Victor Kaplansk's demo
work (vhost-user-bridge) at QEMU project. I was thinking to add Victor
as the co-author. Victor, what do you think of that? :)

Comments are welcome!

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] vhost: handle VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request

[Yuanhan Liu]

VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request is used to tell the backend (dpdk
vhost-user) where we should log dirty pages, and how big the log
buffer is.

This request introduces a new payload:

	typedef struct VhostUserLog {
		uint64_t mmap_size;
		uint64_t mmap_offset;
	} VhostUserLog;

Also, a fd is delivered from QEMU by ancillary data.

With those info given, an area of memory is mmaped, assigned
to dev->log_base, for logging dirty pages.

This (and other changes in patch 2 breaks the librte_vhost ABI again, so 
you'd need to at least add a deprecation note to 2.2 to be able to do it 
in 2.3 at all according to the ABI policy.

Perhaps a better option would be adding some padding to the structs now 
for 2.2 since the vhost ABI is broken there anyway. That would at least 
give a chance to keep it compatible from 2.2 to 2.3.

I was thinking that adding a new field (instead of renaming it or
removing it) isn't an ABI break. So, I was wrong?

It will not be compatible, unless we add exact same fields (not
something like uint8_t pad[xx]). Otherwise, the pad field renaming
is also an ABI break, right?

Thomas, should I write an ABI deprecation note? Can I make it for
v2.2 release If I make one tomorrow? (Sorry that I'm not awared
of that it would be an ABI break).

Adding or removing a field in the middle of a public struct is always an 
ABI break. Adding to the end often is too, but not always.
Renaming a field is an API break but not an ABI break - the compiler 
cares but the cpu does not.

There's no ABI (or API) break in changing reserved unused fields to 
something else, as long as care is taken with sizes and alignment. In 
any case padding is best added to the end of a struct to minimize risks 
and keep things simple.

as long as we don't reference the reserved unused fields?

The thing is that isn't it a bit aweful to (always) add pads to
the end of a struct, especially when you don't know how many
need to be padded?

That would be the definition of an unused field I think :)
Call it "reserved" if you want, it doesn't really matter as long as its 
clear its something you shouldn't be using.

Then you pad for what you think you need, plus a bit extra, and maybe 
some more for others who might want to extend it. What is a reasonable 
amount needs deciding case by case - if a struct is alloced in the 
millions then be (very) conservative, but if there are one or 50 such 
structs within an app lifetime then who cares if its bit larger?

And yeah padding may be annoying, but that's pretty much the only option 
in a project where most of the structs are out in the open.

Functions versioning is another option.
For a sufficiently widely used struct, it's a lot of work, padding
is easier.  But it might be better than breaking ABI
if e.g. you didn't pad enough.

As Panu suggested, it would be better to reserve some room now
in 2.2 which already breaks vhost ABI.
Maybe we have a chance to keep the same vhost ABI in 2.3.

The 2.2 release will probably be closed in less than 2 weeks.

Please could you point where the vhost ABI is broken in 2.2?

The problem is that the changes are not noticed in the release notes
and the LIBABIVER is still 1.

Yeah, my bad. Firstly, I was not aware of it's an ABI change. Secondly,
I was landed to this team in the middle of v2.2 release, so that I have
limited experience of how those works in DPDK community.

Anyway, it's my fault. I should have realized that in the first time.
Should I send a patch to update LIBABIVER to 2 and update release note
now?

The vhost ABI break was announced for DPDK 2.2 in commit 
3c848bd7b1c6f4f681b833322a748fdefbb5fb2d:

So the ABI process was properly followed, except for actually bumping 
LIBABIVER. Bumping LIBABIVER is mentioned in 
doc/guides/contributing/versioning.rst but it doesn't specify *when* 
this should be done, eg should the first patch breaking the ABI bump it 
or should it done be shortly before the next stable release, or 
something else. As it is, it seems a bit too easy to simply forget.

I thought it was not needed to explicitly say that commits must be atomic
and we do not have to wait to do the required changes.
In this case, I've missed it when reviewing the vhost patches breaking the
ABI.

The "problem" is that during a development cycle, an ABI could be broken 
several times but LIBABIVER should only be bumped once. So ABI breaking 
commits will often not be atomic wrt LIBABIVER, no matter which way its 
done.

For example libtool recommendation is that library versions are updated 
only just before public releases:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html#Updating-version-info

If the ABI version has already been changed, there should be a merge conflict.
I think it's better to manage a conflict than forget to update the version.

Interesting link. It makes me think that we do not manage ABI break when
downgrading the library (case of only new API keeping the ABI number).

Heh, now that I look more carefully... it IS documented, line 38 of 
contributing/versioning.rst:

What I'm thinking of is something that would tie LIBABIVER to the 
deprecation announcement in a way that could be easily checked 
(programmatically and manually). As it is now, its quite non-trivial to 
figure what LIBABIVER *should* be for a given library at a given point - 
you need to dig up deprecation.rst history and Makefile history and 
whatnot, and its all quite error-prone.

Hmm, not quite sure what you mean here, but full libtool-style 
versioning is not really needed with symbol versioning.

Yes clearly we need a safer process.
You are welcome to suggest one.
I like the idea of being based on some "parse-able" RST changes.

mmap could fail with non-zero offset for huge page based mapping. Check
our workaround in user_set_mem_table.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/4] vhost: introduce vhost_log_write

[Yuanhan Liu]

Introduce vhost_log_write() helper function to log the dirty pages we
touched. Page size is harded code to 4096 (VHOST_LOG_PAGE), and each
log is presented by 1 bit.

Therefore, vhost_log_write() simply finds the right bit for related
page we are gonna change, and set it to 1. dev->log_base denotes the
start of the dirty page bitmap.

The page address is biased by log_guest_addr, which is derived from
SET_VRING_ADDR request as part of the vring related addresses.

I think the atomic OR operation is necessary only if there can be
more than one vhost-user back-end updating the guest's memory
simultaneously. However probably it is pretty safe to perform
regular OR operation, since rings are not shared between
back-end. What about buffers pointed by descriptors?  To be on
the safe side, I would use a GCC built-in function
__sync_fetch_and_or().

Isn't "likely" more appropriate in above, since the whole
expression is expected to be true most of the time?

The build has to be passed not only for gcc, but for icc and clang as
well.

When log starts, VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES request will be sent again,
with VHOST_F_LOG_ALL feature bit set.

As the VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES handling and rx/tx runs asynchronously,
we have to make sure we don't miss logging anything when this feature is
set. For example, I doubt like in virtio_dev_rx, is the dev->features
volatile?

No, it is not volatile.

Looks good, thanks!

I didn't find where you log the dirty pages in result of data
written to the buffers pointed by the descriptors in RX vring.
AFAIU, the buffers of RX queue reside in guest's memory and have
to be marked as dirty if they are written. What do you say?

Yeah, we should. I got a question then: why log_guest_addr is set
to the physical address of used vring in guest? I mean, apparently,
we need log more changes other than used vring only.

The physical address of used vring sent to the back-end, since
otherwise back-end has to perform virtual to physical
translation, and we want to avoid this. The dirty buffers has to
be marked as well, but their guest's physical address is known
directly from the descriptors.

Yes, people wanted to be able to do multiple physical
addresses to one virtual so you do not want to translate
virt to phys.

Yes, that is actually the majority of the work.
Besides, in the first version, we could temporarily ignore zero copy,
which is much more complicated, as we have no idea when the page has
been accessed.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] vhost: enable log_shmfd protocol feature

[Yuanhan Liu]

To claim that we support vhost-user live migration support:
SET_LOG_BASE request will be send only when this feature flag
is set.

Besides this flag, we actually need another feature flag set
to make vhost-user live migration work: VHOST_F_LOG_ALL.
Which, however, has been enabled long time ago.

Is there some formal verification that migration is truly successful? At
least that the memory we care in our vhost-user case has been migrated
successfully?
For instance, we miss logging guest RX buffers in this patch set, but we
have no idea.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] vhost-user live migration support

[Yuanhan Liu]

This patch set adds the vhost-user live migration support.

The major task behind that is to log pages we touched during
live migration, including used vring and desc buffer. So, this
patch set is basically about adding vhost log support, and
using it.

Patchset
========
- Patch 1 handles VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE, which tells us where
  the dirty memory bitmap is.
    
- Patch 2 introduces a vhost_log_write() helper function to log
  pages we are gonna change.

- Patch 3 logs changes we made to used vring.

- Patch 4 logs changes we made to vring desc buffer.

- Patch 5 and 6 add some feature bits related to live migration.


A simple test guide (on same host)
==================================

The following test is based on OVS + DPDK (check [0] for
how to setup OVS + DPDK):

    [0]: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/vhost-user-ovs-dpdk

Here is the rough test guide:

1. start ovs-vswitchd

2. Add two ovs vhost-user port, say vhost0 and vhost1

3. Start a VM1 to connect to vhost0. Here is my example:

   $ $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3333,server,nowait -curses

4. run "ping $host" inside VM1

5. Start VM2 to connect to vhost0, and marking it as the target
   of live migration (by adding -incoming tcp:0:4444 option)

   $ $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost1  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3334,server,nowait -curses \
       -incoming tcp:0:4444 

6. connect to VM1 monitor, and start migration:

   > migrate tcp:0:4444

7. After a while, you will find that VM1 has been migrated to VM2,
   and the "ping" command continues running, perfectly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] vhost: handle VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request

[Yuanhan Liu]

VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request is used to tell the backend (dpdk
vhost-user) where we should log dirty pages, and how big the log
buffer is.

This request introduces a new payload:

    typedef struct VhostUserLog {
            uint64_t mmap_size;
            uint64_t mmap_offset;
    } VhostUserLog;

Also, a fd is delivered from QEMU by ancillary data.

With those info given, an area of memory is mmaped, assigned
to dev->log_base, for logging dirty pages.

s /will be failed/will fail/
mmap will fail when offset is not zero.
Also we only know this workaround is for hugetlbfs. Not sure of other
tmpfs, so mention hugetlbfs here.

I have already mentioned "to workaround a __hugepage__ mmap bug"; it's
not enough?

No, addr is of (void *) type, we should cast it to uint64_t type first,
before adding it with "off".

I mistake for 4KB page size. Please check if huge page size align is enough.

Didn't follow you.

> Please check if huge page size align is enough.

It should be. However, I don't think we need bother to do that:
first of all, it happened on few specific old kernels. And, "off"
here is kind of guaranteed to be 0. Last, even it's not, mmaping
it from 0 will resolve that.

log_base is with "uint64_t" type, RTE_PTR_ADD() returns (void*), so it
won't work here.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/6] vhost: introduce vhost_log_write

[Yuanhan Liu]

Introduce vhost_log_write() helper function to log the dirty pages we
touched. Page size is harded code to 4096 (VHOST_LOG_PAGE), and each
log is presented by 1 bit.

Therefore, vhost_log_write() simply finds the right bit for related
page we are gonna change, and set it to 1. dev->log_base denotes the
start of the dirty page bitmap.

Agreed. I should have put them into vhost_rxtx.c

Put a memory barrier inside set_features()?

I see no var dependence here, why putting a barrier then? We are
accessing and modifying same var, doesn't the cache MESI protocol
will get rid of your concerns?

This fence isn't about feature var. It is to ensure that updates to the
guest buffer are committed before the logging.
For IA strong memory model, compiler barrier is enough. For other weak
memory model, fence is required.

Oh.., I was thinking you were talking about the "dev->features" field
concurrent access and modify you mentioned from V1.

So that I should put a "rte_mb()" __here__?

One thing optional: I feel it a little bit confusing regarding to
the helper function name here, for the reasons:

1. It more sounds like "logging all the vrings we used", however,
   what I understand is that, here we are logging dirty pages for
   guest memory. Or say, there is merely nothing to do directly with
   vring (although many vring ops might call this function, we are
   only passing [buf, len] pairs).

2. It may also let people think of "vring_used", which is part of
   virtio protocol. However, it does not mean it too.

I would suggest a better name without confusion, like
vhost_log_dirty_range() or anything else to avoid those keywords.

Optional too: since addr is only used once, would it cleaner using
one line? Like:

vhost_log_write(dev, vq->log_guest_addr + offset, len);

Got a question here:

I see that we are logging down changes when we are marking
used_vring. Do we need to log down buffer copy in rte_memcpy() too?
I am not sure whether I understand it correctly, it seems that this
is part of DPDK API ops to deliver data to the guest (from, e.g.,
OVS?), when we do rte_memcpy(), we seems to be modifying guest
memory too. Am I wrong?

desc buffer logging isn't included in v1, but in the patch 4 of this
patch set, and actually it is the major work in vhost live migration.

Yes, it does. Here log_guest_addr is set to physical address of
vring_used. (check code at vhost_virtqueue_set_addr() of qemu).

     627 static int vhost_virtqueue_set_addr(struct vhost_dev *dev,
     628                                     struct vhost_virtqueue *vq,
     629                                     unsigned idx, bool enable_log)
     630 {
     631     struct vhost_vring_addr addr = {
     632         .index = idx,
     633         .desc_user_addr = (uint64_t)(unsigned long)vq->desc,
     634         .avail_user_addr = (uint64_t)(unsigned long)vq->avail,
     635         .used_user_addr = (uint64_t)(unsigned long)vq->used,
==>  636         .log_guest_addr = vq->used_phys,
     637         .flags = enable_log ? (1 << VHOST_VRING_F_LOG) : 0,
     638     };

So, this function does log changes to used vring.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 5/6] vhost: claim that we support GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature

[Yuanhan Liu]

It's actually a feature already enabled in Linux kernel. What we need to
do is simply to claim that we support such feature, and nothing else.

With that, the guest will send GARP messages after live migration.

Do we really need this? I can understand when guest declare with
this VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE flag. With that, guest itself will
handle the announcement after migration. However, how could I
understand if it's declared by a vhost-user backend? What does it
mean?

In vhost-user.txt (in QEMU repo docs/specs/), the only place that
mentioned this is SEND_RARP:

 * VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP

      Id: 19
      Equivalent ioctl: N/A
      Master payload: u64

      Ask vhost user backend to broadcast a fake RARP to notify the migration
      is terminated for guest that does not support GUEST_ANNOUNCE.
	  ...

Here, it mention the GUEST_ANNOUNCE since when guest support this,
we do not need to send SEND_RARP to vhost-user backend again. It
never explain what does it mean when vhost-user declaring to have
this flag...

Thanks.

The actually work is done in QEMU and guest kernel. QEMU sends a config
interrupt to guest kernel when such flag is enabled after live migration
(see QEMU code virtio_net_load()). Guest kernel generates the GARP
once it receives the interrupt (see the kernel code virtnet_config_changed_work()).

Therefore, we could simply claim that we support VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE
feature and do nothing here.

 I guess the documentation is unclear. This is due to way how qemu works. It queries vhost-user backend for the features, then offers them to the guest. The guest then responds with features FROM THE SUGGESTED SET, which it supports. So, if the backend does not claim to support this feature, qemu will not offer it to the guest, therefore the guest will not try to activate it.
 I think this is done because this feature is only useful for migration. If vhost-user backend does not support migration, it needs neither VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP nor guest-side announce.
 Actually, i was thinking about patching qemu once, but... The changeset seemed too complicated, and i imagined the situation described in the above sentence, so decided to abandon it.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/6] vhost: enable log_shmfd protocol feature

[Yuanhan Liu]

To claim that we support vhost-user live migration support:
SET_LOG_BASE request will be send only when this feature flag
is set.

Besides this flag, we actually need another feature flag set
to make vhost-user live migration work: VHOST_F_LOG_ALL.
Which, however, has been enabled long time ago.

The follow test guide should probably be added the DPDK doc files.
It could be added to the sample app guide or the programmers guide.
There is already a Vhost Library  section in the programmers guide and
A Vhost Sample Application section in the sample app guide.

Yes, but not this one, which is a fare rough one. The official one
should do live migration between two hosts.

We may do it after the validation from validation team.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/8] vhost-user live migration support

[Yuanhan Liu]

This patch set adds the vhost-user live migration support.

The major task behind that is to log pages we touched during
live migration, including used vring and desc buffer. So, this
patch set is basically about adding vhost log support, and
using it.

Another important thing is that you need notify the switches
about the VM location change after migration is done. GUEST_ANNOUNCE
feature is for that, which sends an GARP message after migration.
For older kernel (<= v3.4) without GUEST_ANNOUNCE support,
we construct and broadcast a RARP message, with the mac address
from VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP payload.

Patchset
========
- Patch 1 handles VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE, which tells us where
  the dirty memory bitmap is.
    
- Patch 2 introduces a vhost_log_write() helper function to log
  pages we are gonna change.

- Patch 3 logs changes we made to used vring.

- Patch 4 logs changes we made to vring desc buffer.

- Patch 5 and 7 add some feature bits related to live migration.

- patch 6 does the RARP construction and broadcast job.


A simple test guide (on same host)
==================================

The following test is based on OVS + DPDK (check [0] for
how to setup OVS + DPDK):

    [0]: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/vhost-user-ovs-dpdk

Here is the rough test guide:

1. start ovs-vswitchd

2. Add two ovs vhost-user port, say vhost0 and vhost1

3. Start a VM1 to connect to vhost0. Here is my example:

   $ $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3333,server,nowait -curses

4. run "ping $host" inside VM1

5. Start VM2 to connect to vhost0, and marking it as the target
   of live migration (by adding -incoming tcp:0:4444 option)

   $ $QEMU -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 4 \
       -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost1  \
       -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
       -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
       -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=$HOME/hugetlbfs,share=on \
       -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
       -kernel $HOME/iso/vmlinuz -append "root=/dev/sda1" \
       -hda fc-19-i386.img \
       -monitor telnet::3334,server,nowait -curses \
       -incoming tcp:0:4444 

6. connect to VM1 monitor, and start migration:

   > migrate tcp:0:4444

7. After a while, you will find that VM1 has been migrated to VM2,
   and the "ping" command continues running, perfectly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/8] vhost: handle VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request

[Yuanhan Liu]

VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request is used to tell the backend (dpdk
vhost-user) where we should log dirty pages, and how big the log
buffer is.

This request introduces a new payload:

    typedef struct VhostUserLog {
            uint64_t mmap_size;
            uint64_t mmap_offset;
    } VhostUserLog;

Also, a fd is delivered from QEMU by ancillary data.

With those info given, an area of memory is mmaped, assigned
to dev->log_base, for logging dirty pages.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/8] vhost: introduce vhost_log_write

[Yuanhan Liu]

Introduce vhost_log_write() helper function to log the dirty pages we
touched. Page size is harded code to 4096 (VHOST_LOG_PAGE), and each
log is presented by 1 bit.

Therefore, vhost_log_write() simply finds the right bit for related
page we are gonna change, and set it to 1. dev->log_base denotes the
start of the dirty page bitmap.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 5/8] vhost: claim that we support GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature

[Yuanhan Liu]

It's actually a feature already enabled in Linux kernel (since v3.5).
What we need to do is simply to claim that we support such feature,
and nothing else.

With that, the guest will send an ARP message after live migration
to notify the switches about the new location of migrated VM.

I'm trying to compile the dpdk on an debian-7, and it fails due
to this patch. Indeed, the define VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE is
not present in /usr/include/linux/virtio_net.h on this distribution.

I'm wondering if the librte_vhost shouldn't embed its own version
of virtio_net.h instead of relying on the one from the distribution.
It seems it has been done this way for the virtio guest PMD in
dpdk.org/drivers/net/virtio/virtio_pci.h.

What do you think?


Thanks,
Olivier

OK, thanks Thomas

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 6/8] vhost: handle VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP request

[Yuanhan Liu]

While in former patch we enabled GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature, so that the
guest OS will broadcast a GARP message after migration to notify the
switch about the new location of migrated VM, the thing is that
GUEST_ANNOUNCE is enabled since kernel v3.5 only. For older kernel,
VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP request comes to rescue.

The payload of this new request is the mac address of the migrated VM,
with that, we could construct a RARP message, and then broadcast it
to host interfaces.

That's how this patch works:

- list all interfaces, with the help of SIOCGIFCONF ioctl command

- construct an RARP message and broadcast it

Cc: Thibaut Collet <thibaut.collet@6wind.com>
Signed-off-by: Yuanhan Liu <yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com>
---

  Note that this patch did take effect in my test:

  - it indeed updated target vswitch's mac learning table. (with
    the "ovs fdb/show bridge" command)

  - the ping request packets after migration were indeeded flowed
    to the target (but not the source) host's vswitch. (with tcpdump
    command)

  However, I still saw ping lost. I asked help from Thibaut, the
  original author of the VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP request, he suggested
  that it might be an issue of my network topo, or ovs settings, which
  is likely, regarding to what I observed above.

  Anyway, I'd like to send this out, hopefully someone knows what's
  wrong there if there any.  In the meantime, I will do more debugs.

 From how you implement user_send_rarp(), if I understand it correctly, 
it broadcasts this ARP packets to all host interfaces, which I don't 
think it's appropriate. This ARP packets should be sent to it's own L2 
networking. You should not make the hypothesis that all interfaces 
maintained in the kernel are in the same L2 networking. Even worse, this 
could bring problems when used in overlay networking, in which two VM in 
two different overlay networking, can have same MAC address.

What I suggest here is to move user_send_rarp() to 
rte_vhost_dequeue_burst() using a flag to control, so that this arp 
packet can be broadcasted in its own L2 network.

Thanks,
Jianfeng

I have thought of that, too. It was given up because SEND_RARP request was
handled in different thread from rte_vhost_dequeue_burst(), leading to the
fact that the RARP packet will not be broadcasted immediately after migration
is done: it will be broadcasted only when rte_vhost_dequeue_burst() is invoked.

I was thinking the delay might be a problem. While thinking it twice, it
doesn't look like one then. As GUEST_ANNOUNCE is also broadcasted by
rte_vhost_dequeue_burst(); it's enqueued by guest kernel though. And
judging that we are polling mode driver, it won't be an issue then.

So, thanks. I will give it a quick try; it should work.

It worked like a charm :) Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: broadcast RARP pkt by injecting it to receiving mbuf array

[Yuanhan Liu]

Broadcast RARP packet by injecting it to receiving mbuf array at
rte_vhost_dequeue_burst().

Commit 33226236a35e ("vhost: handle request to send RARP") iterates
all host interfaces and then broadcast it by all of them.  It did
notify the switches about the new location of the migrated VM, however,
the mac learning table in the target host is wrong (at least in my
test with OVS):

    $ ovs-appctl fdb/show ovsbr0
     port  VLAN  MAC                Age
        1     0  b6:3c:72:71:cd:4d   10
    LOCAL     0  b6:3c:72:71:cd:4e   10
    LOCAL     0  52:54:00:12:34:68    9
        1     0  56:f6:64:2c:bc:c0    1

Where 52:54:00:12:34:68 is the mac of the VM. As you can see from the
above, the port learned is "LOCAL", which is the "ovsbr0" port. That
is reasonable, since we indeed send the pkt by the "ovsbr0" interface.

The wrong mac table lead all the packets to the VM go to the "ovsbr0"
in the end, which ends up with all packets being lost, until the guest
send a ARP quest (or reply) to refresh the mac learning table.

Jianfeng then came up with a solution I have thought of firstly but NAKed
by myself, concerning it has potential issues [0]. The solution is as title
stated: broadcast the RARP packet by injecting it to the receiving mbuf
arrays at rte_vhost_dequeue_burst(). The re-bring of that idea made me
think it twice; it looked like a false concern to me then. And I had done
a rough verification: it worked as expected.

[0]: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-February/033527.html

Another note is that while preparing this version, I found that DPDK has
some ARP related structures and macros defined. So, use them instead of
the one from standard header files here.

Why it's not? It's not a secret name or something like that after all :)

On the other hand, it's way of thanking Jianfeng's contribution to this
patch.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 7/8] vhost: enable log_shmfd protocol feature

[Yuanhan Liu]

To claim that we support vhost-user live migration support:
SET_LOG_BASE request will be send only when this feature flag
is set.

Besides this flag, we actually need another feature flag set
to make vhost-user live migration work: VHOST_F_LOG_ALL.
Which, however, has been enabled long time ago.

The above test guide should probably be added to the DPDK doc files.
It could be added to the sample app guide or the programmers guide.
There is already a Vhost Library section in the programmers guide and
a Vhost Sample Application section in the sample app guide.
The Vhost Sample Application section might be the best place to add it.

It would be useful to add some documentation on the Vhost Logging feature Itself. 

Regards,

Bernard.

Hi Iremonger,

You had same ask in my last version, and I was aware of that while
preparing this version. The reason I didn't include it is the same
as I replied to you last time: it's a very rough test guide; the
formal test guide would be with 2 hosts, and also you have to establish
a connection to the VM before migration and make sure it still works
right after the migration.

So, I will consider to add such formal test plan after validation is
done from validation team.

> The Vhost Sample Application section might be the best place to add it.

I don't think that's the right place: we can't do the live migration
test with the vhost-switch example: it includes some hardware features,
such as VLAN. Those info would be lost after migration.

And that's the reason I choose OVS.

> It would be useful to add some documentation on the Vhost Logging feature Itself. 

Good suggestion; I will think what I can do for it.

Patches 2 and 3 have been merged to avoid a compilation error.

Actually, there was a ongoing discussion about patch 6, the handling
of VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP request:

  http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-February/033539.html

Maybe you have seen that and I didn't make it clear; my bad. Since you
have already applied it. I will make a standalone patch, and try to
send it out today.

Yes I've wrongly understood there was no problem.
The series would have not been applied if you had said that a new version
was needed or if you had set the patchwork status to "Changes Requested".
Sorry, we'll do better next times ;)

Yeah, that's my bad. I meant to send it out soon, say, last Friday
night. However, I didn't make it. For the patchwork stuff, I'm
still gettig used to it. So, thanks for the tip. I will bear that
in mind next time.

> Sorry, we'll do better next times ;)

Yeah :)

A new patch will be sent out soon. Please consider to apply it. Or,
maybe we can hold it for a while, to see if someone else have comments.
I will ping you to apply it next week if no comments.

Thanks.
