OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those external
threads to such lcores.
Those threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop and as a consequence part of
the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by notifying of such lcore
hotplug.
This patchset has still some more work (like refusing new lcore type in
incompatible EAL threads API, updating the documentation and adding unit
tests) but I am sending it anyway as I would like to get this in for
20.08.
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series.

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.

Make it global as part of the DPDK_21 stable ABI.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.
Document Windows limitation wrt recursive locks not working because of
lack of gettid().

This is a preparation step for dynamically unregistering external
threads.
Since we explicitly allocate a per thread trace buffer in
rte_thread_init, add an internal helper to free this buffer.
Note: I preferred renaming the current internal function to free all
threads trace buffers (new name trace_mem_free()) and reuse the previous
name (trace_mem_per_thread_free()) when freeing this buffer for a given
thread.

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new EXTERNAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.

per lcore context must be allocated/initialised.

Cool feature.
Is mempool's lcore local cache working for external cores with this scheme?

Usage is clear from the example code,
Looking forward to having documentation and UT for the new API
in the next version.

Yes, I think we need a doc update explaining usage. The EAL chapter of the
programmers guide needs an update [1], and I think a description in the
howto would be good also [2].

Yes, as it is stateless, all we need is a unique lcore_id in [0,
RTE_MAX_LCORE-1] range.
We could imagine flushing such caches on unregistering.
And we can fix other mempool drivers like the bucket driver.

Was it the case when lcore registered and then mempool created? What
about other case, mempool created and then lcore registered?

From ABI PoV, you are 100%.
Is the agreed term 'callback'?, not 'notifier' for example rte_dev_event_callback_register, rte_mem_event_callback_register
I did wonder however, if all these cb's would be better handled through a EventDev event notification style approach.

- All caches are initialised for all possible lcores for each mempool.
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/lib/librte_mempool/rte_mempool.c#n965
So any order is fine wrt the local mempool cache.
- If the mempool drivers want to initialise per lcore data on demand
[1], the driver have to register a lcore notifier per mempool.
1: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/drivers/mempool/bucket/rte_mempool_bucket.c#n437
But this current series implementation does not handle registering in any order.
I will fix this in v2 (and rework the locking which is quite ugly)
hopefully this week.

I am reconsidering the term.
callback seems better yes and, actually, there is no need for a lcore
event framework.

OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those threads
to such lcores.
non-EAL threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop.
As a consequence, part of the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by introducing init/uninit
callacks invoked when hotplugging of such lcore.
There is still some work:
- refuse new lcore role in incompatible EAL threads API (or document it
only as those API were already incompatible?),
- finish unit tests in patch 7,
- think about deprecation notices for existing RTE_FOREACH_LCORE macros
and consorts, it is probably worth discussing on how to iterate over
lcores,
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series.
1: https://github.com/david-marchand/ovs/commit/dpdk-latest-external-lcores
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master (conflicts on merged Windows series),
- separated lcore role code cleanup in a patch,
- tried to use a single naming, so kept non-EAL threads as the main
notion. non-EAL threads are then distinguished between registered and
unregistered non-EAL threads,
- added unit tests (still missing some coverage, marked with a FIXME),
- reworked callbacks call under a common rwlock lock which protects
lcores allocations and callbacks registration,
- introduced lcore iterators and converted the bucket mempool driver,

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.

Make it global as part of the DPDK_21 stable ABI.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.

This is a preparation step for dynamically unregistering threads.
Since we explicitly allocate a per thread trace buffer in
rte_thread_init, add an internal helper to free this buffer.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Note: I preferred renaming the current internal function to free all
threads trace buffers (new name trace_mem_free()) and reuse the previous
name (trace_mem_per_thread_free()) when freeing this buffer for a given
thread.
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workaround wrt traces support,

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v1:
- moved cleanup on lcore role code in patch 5,
- added unit test,
- updated documentation,
- changed naming from "external thread" to "registered non-EAL thread"

DPDK components and applications can have their say when a new lcore is
initialized. For this, they can register a callback for initializing and
releasing their private data.

Changes since v1:
- added unit test (since missing some coverage, for v3),
- preferred callback and removed mention of notification,

Add a helper to iterate all lcores.
The iterator callback is read-only wrt the lcores list.
Implement a dump function on top of this for debugging.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v1:
- introduced lcore iterators and implemented rte_lcore_dump,
this iterator mechanism can then be used outside of EAL,

I see you converted a spin lock to a reader lock.
Are you sure this is a good idea, although conceptually faster,
the implementation on most cpu's is slower than a simple spin lock.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/kernel-locking/Efficiency.html
If your code divides neatly along reader/writer lines (as our
cache code does), and the lock is held by readers for significant
lengths of time, using these locks can help. They are slightly slower
than the normal locks though, so in practice rwlock_t is not usually
worthwhile.

OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those threads
to such lcores.
non-EAL threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop.
As a consequence, part of the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by introducing init/uninit
callacks invoked when hotplugging of such lcore.
There is still some work/discussion:
- refuse new lcore role in incompatible EAL threads API (or document it
only as those API were already incompatible?),
- think about deprecation notices for existing RTE_FOREACH_LCORE macros
and consorts, it is probably worth discussing on how to iterate over
lcores,
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series.
1: https://github.com/david-marchand/ovs/commit/dpdk-latest-external-lcores
Changes since v2:
- fixed windows build error due to missing trace stub,
- fixed bug when rolling back on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master (conflicts on merged Windows series),
- separated lcore role code cleanup in a patch,
- tried to use a single naming, so kept non-EAL threads as the main
notion. non-EAL threads are then distinguished between registered and
unregistered non-EAL threads,
- added unit tests (still missing some coverage, marked with a FIXME),
- reworked callbacks call under a common rwlock lock which protects
lcores allocations and callbacks registration,
- introduced lcore iterators and converted the bucket mempool driver,

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.
$ nm build/app/dpdk-testpmd | grep per_lcore__thread_id
0000000000000054 d per_lcore__thread_id.5037

Make it global as part of the DPDK_21 stable ABI.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.

Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workarounds wrt gettid and traces
support,

This is a preparation step for dynamically unregistering threads.
Since we explicitly allocate a per thread trace buffer in
rte_thread_init, add an internal helper to free this buffer.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Note: I preferred renaming the current internal function to free all
threads trace buffers (new name trace_mem_free()) and reuse the previous
name (trace_mem_per_thread_free()) when freeing this buffer for a given
thread.
Changes since v2:
- added missing stub for windows tracing support,
- moved free symbol to exported (experimental) ABI as a counterpart of
the alloc symbol we already had,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workaround wrt traces support,

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v1:
- moved cleanup on lcore role code in patch 5,
- added unit test,
- updated documentation,
- changed naming from "external thread" to "registered non-EAL thread"

DPDK components and applications can have their say when a new lcore is
initialized. For this, they can register a callback for initializing and
releasing their private data.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v2:
- added missing test,
- fixed rollback on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- added unit test (since missing some coverage, for v3),
- preferred callback and removed mention of notification,

From: David Marchand @ 2020-06-22 13:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: dev
Cc: jerinjacobk, bruce.richardson, mdr, ktraynor, ian.stokes,
i.maximets, Neil Horman
Add a helper to iterate all lcores.
The iterator callback is read-only wrt the lcores list.
Implement a dump function on top of this for debugging.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Changes since v2:
- added rte_lcore_dump calls in unit test, for basic check,
Changes since v1:
- introduced lcore iterators and implemented rte_lcore_dump,
this iterator mechanism can then be used outside of EAL,

I think it will break current DPDK MP modes.
The problem here - rte_config (and lcore_role[]) is in shared memory,
while the lock is local.
Simplest way probably to move lcore_lock to rte_config.

So we just setting affinity to the same value, right?
Not a big deal, but might be easier to allow rte_thread_init()
to accept cpuset==NULL (and just don't change thread affinity in that case)

Actually sorry, I was wrong - rte_config is local.
So having lcore_lock local seems ok here.
Though then, I think another issue arises:
For MP case 2 processes might get the same lcore_id via this function.
And, as I remember, rte_mempool cache is by default located in shared memory.
So two threads might end-up racing for the same mempool cache slot.
Same story probably about some other shared data that uses lcore_id as an index

Even before this series, MP has no protection on lcore placing between
primary and secondary processes.
Personally, I have no use for DPDK MP and marking MP as not supporting
this new feature is tempting for a first phase.
If this is a strong requirement, I can look at it in a second phase.
What do you think?

rte_thread_init does not change the thread cpu affinity, it handles
per thread (TLS included) variables initialization.
So do you mean accepting cpuset == NULL and do the getaffinity in this case?
rte_thread_init is EAL private for now.
That saves us some code in this function, but we will call with a !=
NULL cpuset in all other EAL code.

I think that is reasonable for a new feature. I suspect those wanting to
dynamically manage their own threads probably do not care about
multi-process mode.
However, this limitation probably needs to be clearly called out in the
docs.

Again, *disclaimer* I am not a user of the MP feature.
But I suppose users of such a feature are relying on DPDK init and
threads management, and I would not expect them to use this new API.
I will add a note in rte_thread_register() doxygen.
But I wonder if adding some check when a secondary attaches would make sense...
Like how we have a version check, I could "taint" the dpdk primary
process: a variable in shared memory could do the trick.

Agree, it is not a new problem, it has been there for a while.
Though making lcore assignment dynamic will make it more noticeable and harder to avoid.
With static only lcore distribution it is much easier to control things.

In theory it is possible to mark this new API as not supported for MP.
At least for now. Though I think it is sort of temporal solution.
AFAIK, MP is used by customers, so sooner or later someone will hit that problem.
Let say, we do have pdump app/library in our mainline.
As I can see - it will be affected when users will start using this new dynamic lcore API
inside their apps.

The structure is not used in per-lcore init and uninit
functions. So, it is better to add _count to make it
count specified. I.e. bucket_count_per_lcore_ctx.

Just a nit, but I think that ctx is too generic.
(some time ago bucket_data bd was ctx in fact :) )
May be bplc? Up to you.

It should be no bucket_ prefix here, or it should be bucket_

There is not point to have two above lines here, since
RING_F_SC_DEQ is always set.

Why does the API collapse all negative errnos into -1?

Same note about bucket_ prefix.

I understand this argument.
But then we don't see those customers giving feedback.

Supporting lcore allocation in MP requires exchanges between
primary/secondary processes like what we have for memory allocations.
It will be quite a beast to get to work fine, while not even knowing
if people actually want to use both.
For v4, I added a check to exclude MP and the new API.
I am still willing to help if people do care about using both features together.

I wonder how much we could simplify DPDK generally if we had to enable a
specific runtime flag to enable multi-process support and it was off by
default. This would break proc_info I think, but maybe we could provide
telemetry callbacks to provide the same data, but beyond that it would just
allow us to know whether a DPDK app is actually using MP, or just running
as a single process.

Same thought here.
I like the idea of a "mode flag" when multi-process is in use.
Should it be an user explicit flag or an automatic one?

I don't think we need to re-implement RPC as we did for memory subsystem.
One relatively simple approach - move lcore_role[] and related lock into
shared memory (separate memzone or so).
I think it should help a lot and will solve majority of the problems.
One limitation - init/fini callbacks can be static only.
As the drawback, it will introduce change in current behaviour:
secondary process with lcore-mask that intersects with master lcore-mask
will fail to start.
Second approach - make lcore_id local process entity:
prohibit indexing by lcore_id in shared data structures.
Let say for mempool - make cache local (per process).
While that approach is probably more elegant and consistent,
it would require more work and will cause ABI (maybe API also) breakage.
> For v4, I added a check to exclude MP and the new API.
Do you mean - make this new dynamic-lcore API return an error if callied
from secondary process?

It is probably possible, but that would mean will need to start splitting
core parts of DPDK code into two paths: standalone/MP, right?
Wonder how much effort it would require in terms of code rework, testing,
maintenance, etc. At first glance seems quite substantial.

Yes, and prohibiting from attaching a secondary process if dynamic
lcore API has been used in primary.

But secondary process can attach before lcore_register, so we'll have some sort of inconsistency in behaviour.
If we really want to go ahead with such workaround -
probably better to introduce explicit EAL flag ( --single-process or so).
As Thomas and Bruce suggested, if I understood them properly.

Yes, and this aligns with its only user being renamed from
count_per_lcore to bucket_count_per_lcore.

I collapsed everything as a single error as we have a partial idea of
what went wrong when calling this callback with all lcores at
registration.
We could get a specific error reported by this callback, but then we
would not know on which lcore (programmatically).
And in the end, all errors will summarize as a lack of resources, I do
not expect a need for input validation.
Maybe you have other use cases in mind?
Thanks for the review.

If the developer tries to use both features, he gets an ERROR log in
the two init path.
So whatever the order at runtime, we inform the developer (who did not
read/understand the rte_thread_register() documentation) that what he
is doing is unsupported.

A EAL flag is a stable API from the start, as there is nothing
describing how we can remove one.
So a new EAL flag for an experimental API/feature seems contradictory.
Going with a new features status API... I think it is beyond this series.
Thomas seems to suggest an automatic resolution when features conflict
happens.. ?
I'll send the v4, let's discuss it there if you want.
Thanks.

OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those threads
to such lcores.
non-EAL threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop.
As a consequence, part of the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by introducing init/uninit
callacks invoked when hotplugging of such lcore.
There is still some work/discussion:
- refuse new lcore role in incompatible EAL threads API (or document it
only as those API were already incompatible?),
- think about deprecation notices for existing RTE_FOREACH_LCORE macros
and consorts, it is probably worth discussing on how to iterate over
lcores,
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series.
1: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200626123017.28555-1-david.marchand@redhat.com/
Changes since v3:
- added init failure when trying to use in conjunction with multiprocess,
- addressed Andrew comments,
Changes since v2:
- fixed windows build error due to missing trace stub,
- fixed bug when rolling back on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master (conflicts on merged Windows series),
- separated lcore role code cleanup in a patch,
- tried to use a single naming, so kept non-EAL threads as the main
notion. non-EAL threads are then distinguished between registered and
unregistered non-EAL threads,
- added unit tests (still missing some coverage, marked with a FIXME),
- reworked callbacks call under a common rwlock lock which protects
lcores allocations and callbacks registration,
- introduced lcore iterators and converted the bucket mempool driver,

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.

Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workarounds wrt gettid and traces
support,

This is a preparation step for dynamically unregistering threads.
Since we explicitly allocate a per thread trace buffer in
rte_thread_init, add an internal helper to free this buffer.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Note: I preferred renaming the current internal function to free all
threads trace buffers (new name trace_mem_free()) and reuse the previous
name (trace_mem_per_thread_free()) when freeing this buffer for a given
thread.
Changes since v2:
- added missing stub for windows tracing support,
- moved free symbol to exported (experimental) ABI as a counterpart of
the alloc symbol we already had,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workaround wrt traces support,

For consistency sake, move all lcore role code in the dedicated
compilation unit / header.

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.
Multiprocess is not supported as the need for cohabitation with this new
feature is unclear at the moment.

Changes since v2:
- refused multiprocess init once rte_thread_register got called, and
vice versa,
- added warning on multiprocess in rte_thread_register doxygen,
Changes since v1:
- moved cleanup on lcore role code in patch 5,
- added unit test,
- updated documentation,
- changed naming from "external thread" to "registered non-EAL thread"

Alternatively to the internal default per-lcore local cache, an application can create and manage external caches through the ``rte_mempool_cache_create()``, ``rte_mempool_cache_free()`` and ``rte_mempool_cache_flush()`` calls.
These user-owned caches can be explicitly passed to ``rte_mempool_generic_put()`` and ``rte_mempool_generic_get()``.
The ``rte_mempool_default_cache()`` call returns the default internal cache if any.

DPDK components and applications can have their say when a new lcore is
initialized. For this, they can register a callback for initializing and
releasing their private data.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Changes since v2:
- added missing test,
- fixed rollback on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- added unit test (since missing some coverage, for v3),
- preferred callback and removed mention of notification,

From: David Marchand @ 2020-06-26 14:47 UTC (permalink / raw)

Cc: jerinjacobk, bruce.richardson, mdr, thomas, arybchenko, ktraynor,
ian.stokes, i.maximets, Neil Horman
Add a helper to iterate all lcores.
The iterator callback is read-only wrt the lcores list.
Implement a dump function on top of this for debugging.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Changes since v2:
- added rte_lcore_dump calls in unit test, for basic check,
Changes since v1:
- introduced lcore iterators and implemented rte_lcore_dump,
this iterator mechanism can then be used outside of EAL,

Before this series, we have:
- rte_thread_ public APIs for both EAL and non-EAL threads (declared
in rte_eal_interrupts.h and rte_lcore.h),
- eal_thread_ internal APIs that apply to EAL threads (declared in
eal_thread.h),
I guess __rte_thread_ could do the trick and I will move this to eal_private.h.

The internal trace api abstracts this.
It should be in the trace code itself, in the same way it is done for
allocating the trace buffer.
But is an additional check needed?
The check on the trace buffer being initialised in
__rte_trace_mem_per_thread_free should be enough.

If name is null, I presume asprintf() would segfault, right?
As this is a public (and control-plane) API, I think it is worth to
add formal checking for input parameters.
Same for other new public functions.

Just as a nit, you can do here instead:
while (lcore_id-- != 0) { if (cfg->lcore_role[lcore_id] == ROLE_OFF) ...}
To avoid 'lcore_id -1' inside loop body.
Might look a bit nicer.
> + free(callback);
I think you forgot:
free(callback->name);
here.
Might be worth to have a separate helper function around these 2 frees.

I still don't think it is a good idea to allow to change primary proc behaviour
(allow/forbid secondary procs to attach) on the fly.
Imagine the situation - there is a primary proc (supposed to run forever)
that does rte_thread_register/rte_thread_unregister during its lifetime.
Plus from time to time user runs some secondary process to collect stats/debug
the primary one (proc-info or so).
Now behaviour of such system will be completely non-deterministic:
In some runs primary proc will do rte_thread_register() first, and then secondary
proc will be never able to attach.
In other cases - secondary will win the race, and then for primary
eal_lcore_non_eal_allocate() will always fail.
Which means different behaviour, significantly varying performance, etc.
I am not big fun to introduce such workaround at all, but at least startup flag,
will guarantee consistent behaviour: secondary proc will always fail to attach
and eal_lcore_non_eal_allocate() will always succeed
(as long as there are free lcore_ids off-course).
From your previous mail:
> A EAL flag is a stable API from the start, as there is nothing
> describing how we can remove one.
> So a new EAL flag for an experimental API/feature seems contradictory.
Hm, yes there is a gap, but why eal flag can't also be an experimental one?
What will be the difference between flag and API call here?
We can still reserve the right to remove/change it at any time.
As another thought about startup parameters -
would it make sense to have new one: --lcore-allow-list=...?
That would limit lcore_ids available for the process.
Without this new parameter specified -
lcore_allowed_list would be equal to startup lcore list (static ones),
and no dynamic lcore allocations will be allowed.
As an example:
dpdk_app --lcores=6,7 --lcore-allow=0-100
will reserve lcore_ids 6,7 at startup (same as we do now),
and leave [0-5] and [8-100] available for dynamic usage.

To check if rte_thread_register() succedeed, we need to look at
lcore_id. I wonder if rte_thread_register() shouldn't return the lcore
id on success, and -1 on error (rte_errno could be set to give some
info on the error).
The same could be done for rte_thread_init()

So, in this case, the affinity of the pthread is kept and saved, in other
words there is no link between the lcore id and the affinity. It means we
are allowing an application to register lcores for dataplane with conflicting
affinities.
I wonder if it could be useful to have an API that automatically sets
the affinity according to the lcore_id. Or a function that creates a
pthread using the specified lcore id, and setting the correct affinity.
I could simplify the work for applications that want to create/destroy
dataplane threads dynamically.
This could be done later however, just an idea.

If find the name ROLE_NON_EAL a bit heavy (this was also my impression
when reading the doc part).
I understand that there are several types of threads:
- eal (pthread created by eal): ROLE_RTE and ROLE_SERVICE
- unregistered (pthread not created by eal, and not registered): ROLE_OFF
(note that ROLE_OFF also applies for unexistant threads)
- dynamic: pthread not created by eal, but registered
What about using ROLE_DYN ? I'm not sure about this name either, it's just
to open the discussion :)

I agree.
Before this patch, pinning a thread on a random core can
trigger some issues.
After this patch, register an external thread will
take care of logging errors in case of inconsistencies.
So the user will know he is doing something not supported
by the app.
It is an nice improvement.

No I was thinking to maintain the tri-state information:
- secondary is possible
- secondary is attached
- secondary is forbidden
Asking the user to use an option to forbid attaching a secondary process
is the same as telling him it is forbidden.
The error log is enough in my opinion.

I suggest allowing the maximum and raise an error when usage conflicts.
It seems this is what you did in v4.

Control thread could not use recursive locks before, because this
rte_gettid() was missing.
Worth mentioning yes.

I understand that, and return a meaningful error is definitely
better the silent crash or memory corruption.
The problem with that approach, as I said before, MP group
behaviour becomes non-deterministic.

The root cause of the problem is in our MP model design decisions:
from one side we treat lcore_id as process local data, from other side
in some shared data-structures we use lcore_id as an index.
I think to fix it properly we need either:
make lcore_id data shared or stop using lcore_id as an index for shared data.
So from my perspective this approach is just one of possible workarounds.
BTW, there is nothing wrong to have a workaround for the problem
we are not ready to fix right now.

Ok, then I misunderstood you.

I don't think it is the same.
On a live and complex system user can't always predict will the primary proc
use dynamic lcore and if it will at what particular moment.
Same for secondary process launching - user might never start it,
might start it straight after the primary one,
or might be after several hours.
> The error log is enough in my opinion.
I think it is better than nothing, but probably not the best one.
Apart from possible non-consistent behaviour, it is quite restrictive:
dynamic lcore_id wouldn't be available on any DPDK MP deployment.
Which is a pity - I think it is a cool and useful feature.
What do you guys think about different approach:
introduce new optional EAL parameter to restrict lcore_id
values available for the process.
#let say to start primary proc that can use lcore_id=[0-99] only:
dpdk_primary --lcore-allow=0-99 ... --file-prefix=xz1
#to start secondary one for it with allowed lcore_id=[100-109]:
dpdk_secondary --lcore-allow=100-109 ... --file-prefix=xz1 --proc-type=secondary
It is still a workaround, but that way we don't need to
add any new limitations for dynamic lcores and secondary process usage.
Now it is up to user to decide would multiple-process use the same shared data
and if so - split lcore_id space properly among them
(same as he has to do now with static lcores).

A variant (more simple) of your approach could be to add
"--proc-type=standalone" to explicitly disable MP and enable dynamic thread

I don't see the difference.
An app which register external threads is not compatible
with multi-process. It needs to be clear.
If the user tries to do it anyway, there can be some error, OK.

So you are asking to extend the feature.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of multi-process,
so I would not push any feature for it.
If we don't add any new option now, and restrict MP handling
to error messages, it would not prevent from extending
in future, right?

I don't adding a restriction from user input is adding a feature.
Konstantin wants to support multi-process with non-EAL threads,
which is the opposite of your proposal, Olivier :-)

Yes, the problem has been there for a while.
David's patch just made it more visible.
We discussing different workarounds for the problem.

Copying from other mail thread:
Imagine the situation - there is a primary proc (supposed to run forever)
that does rte_thread_register/rte_thread_unregister during its lifetime.
Plus from time to time user runs some secondary process to collect stats/debug
the primary one (proc-info or so).
Now behaviour of such system will be non-deterministic:
In some runs primary proc will do rte_thread_register() first,
and then secondary proc will be never able to attach.
In other cases - secondary will win the race, and then for primary
eal_lcore_non_eal_allocate() will always fail.
Which means different behaviour between runs, varying performance, etc.

I am asking for solution that would guarantee deterministic behaviour to the user.
If dynamic lcores and MP support need to be mutually exclusive,
then there should be a clean way for the user to *always* enable
one and disable the other.
"--proc-type=standalone" will at least guarantee such consistent behaviour between runs:
secondary proc will always fail to attach and eal_lcore_non_eal_allocate() will always succeed
(as long as there are free lcore_ids off-course).
Though I think even better would be not to make them mutually exclusive,
but instead let user to split lcore_id space accordingly.
Let me list the options currently under discussion:
a) New EAL parameter '--lcore-allow=...'
Explicit EAL parameter to enable dyn-lcore=Y
Consistent behaviour between runs=Y
DYN-lcores/MP-support are mutually exclusive=N
b) Extend '--proc-type' EAL parameter with new 'standalone' type
Explicit EAL parameter to enable dyn-lcore =Y
Consistent behaviour between runs=Y
Dyn lcores/MP-support are mutually exclusive=Y
c) dynamic allow/forbid dynamic-lcore/MP support
Explicit EAL parameter=N
Consistent behaviour between runs=N
Dyn lcores/MP-support are mutually exclusive=Y
My preference list (from top to bottom): a, b, c.

Me too, but as we can't drop it, we probably have no
choice but to live with it.

It shouldn't I think.
Though what is the urgency to push this feature without having an
agreement first?

User has to do the similar thing with static lcores right now.

For me it is a bit too restrictive, but yes it is a possible option,
and from my perspective - a better one then disabling secondary proc support on the fly.
I tried to summarize different options under discussion in another mail of this thread.

lcore_id are unsigned integers with the special value LCORE_ID_ANY
mapped to UINT32_MAX (should be UINT_MAX? anyway...).
rte_thread_register could return an error code as there are no ERROR
level logs about why a lcore allocation failed.
We could then distinguish a shortage of lcore (or init callback
refusal) from an invalid call before rte_eal_init() or when mp is in
use.
About returning the lcore_id as part of the return code, this would
map to -1 for LCORE_ID_ANY.
This is probably not a problem but still odd.

This is not something new, applications using --lcores option already
live with this.
We have warnings in the documentation about non-EAL threads and about
the dangers of conflicting affinities.
Hopefully, the users of this API know what they are doing since they
chose not to use EAL threads.

Do you mean EAL threads dynamic creation/suppression?

Last two cases both are non-EAL threads as described in the doc so far.

Well, at the moment, all those new lcores are mapped only to non-EAL threads.
A dynamic role feels like you want to take dynamic EAL threads into
account from the start.
I prefer to stick to non-EAL.

If the final users finally hit the situation you describe, it means
that the multiprocess had been in use so far and was known to be in
use (*hopefully*).
So is it not a problem of design/non-regression testing when
integrating the new API in the first place?

I waited to see others' opinions (and pinged some OVS-DPDK people).
I'd like an agreement too.

There is no need for the series.
When an application non-EAL thread (not talking about threads that
dpdk is aware of) calls a tracepoint callback, there is an implicit
call to _alloc.
We end up with a memory leak and the application has no way to fix this.
I left this symbol exported, but this is not documented properly.

Yes, it would be a bit odd like this. What about changing the definition of
LCORE_ID_ANY to ((unsigned int)-1) ? I think it does not change the effective
value on any architecture, but would make the above change clearer.

I was thinking about __rte_trace_mem_per_thread_alloc(), but maybe it's not

Yes, but only the last case has the NON_EAL role.
I feel that currently role != thread_type, so may be a bit confusing to
use a pthread_type name in the role enum.

Not sure I understand you here...
If you saying that for SP benchmarking/testing current approach
is sufficient, then - yes it is.
Or are you saying it would be hard to create a test-case to
reproduce such problematic scenario?

I am saying that getting to a problematic scenario that only the final
users get, would be a failure in the development, documentation and
validation of the application.
When the developer integrates this new API, the developer will read
the API description.
- If the limitation on mp is understood and accepted, the application
documentation will be updated to reflect this.
Users can then know mp is not available.
If the users still try to use it, it can be a support issue.
The users will then report to support people who should be aware this
is not supported (the documentation says so).
- If the application needs mp support because of X, Y reasons, the
developer integrating the new API, should complain upstream that the
new API requires mp support.
If the developer does not complain but still uses the API.. well too
bad (or it falls through to the following point).
- The application needs mp support, the developer did not catch the
warning in the API (the kids are home, hard to concentrate)...
The new API will be used for datapath processing threads, so non
regression perf tests will be run.
On the other hand, the application uses mp for X, Y reasons, so there
will be associated test cases.
I can't tell for sure, but I find it hard to believe a validation team
would never do tests that combine both.

Please let's conclude.
The proposed API for thread registration does not support multi-process.
This limitation is documented and there are some runtime checks.
If this API is used in an application design, it should be clear
that attaching a secondary process is forbidden.
If a user tries to attach a secondary process before the application
registers a thread, then future thread registration will fail.
If a user tries to attach a secondary process after a thread registration,
then the secondary process will fail.
It means that depending on when the user *wrongly* attach a secondary
process (despite the documented limitation of the application),
the failure will happen in a different context.
I think it is OK.
The alternative is to introduce a new EAL flag or a new API to make sure
the failure will happen when attaching a secondary process,
even if no thread is registered yet.
I think adding such addition would be weird from user or API perspective.
Please note that accepting the thread registration API does not prevent
from adding an EAL flag or a new API later.
That's why I vote for merging this series.

If there is one team(/organization) doing everything:
development, deployment and support - then yes things
are more or less straightforward.
Though it is not always a case - one app(/lib) can be used in
dozen different deployments by various organizations and
development team might not always be aware about all
possible deployment and usage scenarios.
Let say, right now dpdk app/proc-info can be used with any
primary dpdk proc, even if it was designed as a standalone app.
With this patch, it will not be the case anymore.
It might be ok by itself, but what looks like a problem to me -
there is no a clear and easy way for the user to determine
when he can use proc-info on the given dpdk proc
without causing problems for this app, and when he can't.
Actually, sort of an opposite question -
what are the advantages of current approach (forbid MP support on the fly)
over explicit start-up parameters (either --proc-type=single or --lcore-allow=...)?
Why do you think it is a better one?

I don't want to perpetuate the "please carefully set your command line" habit.
This feature is added through a C API, with documentation and flagged
as experimental, it should be enough.
How about moving the mp disable in rte_thread_register() as a separate API?
Then a developer must call rte_mp_disable() before attempting
rte_thread_register().
That would be equivalent to --proc-type=single.
Why not convert lcore-allow into an API?
This would force us to put something in the init so that external
users see how the application has been started and adjust the
secondary commandline.
On the other hand, rte_mp_disable() is easy to do with my current v4 +
I am running out of time for rc1.
We can still revisit this experimental API.

It wouldn't be exactly the same thing, but yes,
I agree user can call it as first thing after rte_eal_init()
and it should help to prevent non-consistency in behaviour.
I think it is a good compromise.

Not sure I understand you here...
If we'll make lcore-allow dynamic it is basically the same as moving
lcore_role[] (or some similar structure) into shared memory.
I am ok with that, but I thought you stated that it would require
quite a lot of work.
> On the other hand, rte_mp_disable() is easy to do with my current v4 +

Yes, as I said above such approach seems good enough to me
(at least for now).

OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those threads
to such lcores.
non-EAL threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop.
As a consequence, part of the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by introducing init/uninit
callacks invoked when hotplugging of such lcore.
There is still some work/discussion:
- refuse new lcore role in incompatible EAL threads API (or document it
only as those API were already incompatible?),
- think about deprecation notices for existing RTE_FOREACH_LCORE macros
and consorts, it is probably worth discussing on how to iterate over
lcores,
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series (this patch probably won't work with
v5, it will be rebased once dpdk side is ready).
1: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200626123017.28555-1-david.marchand@redhat.com/
Changes since v4:
- added separate API to control mp feature activation,
- addressed Konstantin and Olivier comments,
Changes since v3:
- added init failure when trying to use in conjunction with multiprocess,
- addressed Andrew comments,
Changes since v2:
- fixed windows build error due to missing trace stub,
- fixed bug when rolling back on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master (conflicts on merged Windows series),
- separated lcore role code cleanup in a patch,
- tried to use a single naming, so kept non-EAL threads as the main
notion. non-EAL threads are then distinguished between registered and
unregistered non-EAL threads,
- added unit tests (still missing some coverage, marked with a FIXME),
- reworked callbacks call under a common rwlock lock which protects
lcores allocations and callbacks registration,
- introduced lcore iterators and converted the bucket mempool driver,

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.

Make it global as part of the DPDK_21 stable ABI.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.
A side-effect of this patch is that control threads can now use
recursive locks (rte_gettid() was not called before).

Changes since v4:
- renamed rte_thread_init as __rte_thread_init and moved to
eal_private.h,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workarounds wrt gettid and traces
support,

This is a preparation step for dynamically unregistering threads.
Since we explicitly allocate a per thread trace buffer in
__rte_thread_init, add an internal helper to free this buffer.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Changes since v4:
- renamed rte_thread_uninit and moved to eal_private.h,
- hid freeing helper,
Changes since v2:
- added missing stub for windows tracing support,
- moved free symbol to exported (experimental) ABI as a counterpart of
the alloc symbol we already had,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master, removed Windows workaround wrt traces support,

DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this
has some limitations.
OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still
want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and
faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component.
Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a
free lcore with a new NON_EAL role.
This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such
prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts.
Multiprocess is not supported as the need for cohabitation with this new
feature is unclear at the moment.

Changes since v4:
- returned an error when rte_thread_register fails + set rte_errno,
- prefixed unit tests logs with Error: when applicable,
Changes since v2:
- refused multiprocess init once rte_thread_register got called, and
vice versa,
- added warning on multiprocess in rte_thread_register doxygen,
Changes since v1:
- moved cleanup on lcore role code in patch 5,
- added unit test,
- updated documentation,
- changed naming from "external thread" to "registered non-EAL thread"

DPDK components and applications can have their say when a new lcore is
initialized. For this, they can register a callback for initializing and
releasing their private data.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
---
Changes since v4:
- fixed leak on callback register failure,
- fixed nits from Konstantin and Olivier,
- prefixed unit tests logs with Error: when applicable,
Changes since v2:
- added missing test,
- fixed rollback on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- added unit test (since missing some coverage, for v3),
- preferred callback and removed mention of notification,

Add a helper to iterate all lcores.
The iterator callback is read-only wrt the lcores list.
Implement a dump function on top of this for debugging.
Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>
Reviewed-by: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>
---
Changes since v2:
- added rte_lcore_dump calls in unit test, for basic check,
Changes since v1:
- introduced lcore iterators and implemented rte_lcore_dump,
this iterator mechanism can then be used outside of EAL,

OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to
fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL
threads.
This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those threads
to such lcores.
non-EAL threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop.
As a consequence, part of the EAL threads API cannot work.
Having new lcores appearing during the process lifetime is not expected
by some DPDK components. This is addressed by introducing init/uninit
callacks invoked when hotplugging of such lcore.
There is still some work/discussion:
- refuse new lcore role in incompatible EAL threads API (or document it
only as those API were already incompatible?),
- think about deprecation notices for existing RTE_FOREACH_LCORE macros
and consorts, it is probably worth discussing on how to iterate over
lcores,
For the interested parties, I have a patch [1] against dpdk-latest OVS
branch that makes use of this series (this patch probably won't work with
v5, it will be rebased once dpdk side is ready).
1: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200626123017.28555-1-david.marchand@redhat.com/
Changes since v5:
- fixed windows build,
Changes since v4:
- added separate API to control mp feature activation,
- addressed Konstantin and Olivier comments,
Changes since v3:
- added init failure when trying to use in conjunction with multiprocess,
- addressed Andrew comments,
Changes since v2:
- fixed windows build error due to missing trace stub,
- fixed bug when rolling back on lcore register,
Changes since v1:
- rebased on master (conflicts on merged Windows series),
- separated lcore role code cleanup in a patch,
- tried to use a single naming, so kept non-EAL threads as the main
notion. non-EAL threads are then distinguished between registered and
unregistered non-EAL threads,
- added unit tests (still missing some coverage, marked with a FIXME),
- reworked callbacks call under a common rwlock lock which protects
lcores allocations and callbacks registration,
- introduced lcore iterators and converted the bucket mempool driver,

We have per lcore thread symbols scattered in OS implementations but
common code relies on them.
Move all of them in common.
RTE_PER_LCORE(_socket_id) and RTE_PER_LCORE(_cpuset) have public
accessors and are not exported through the library map, they can be
made static.

Because of the inline accessor + static declaration in rte_gettid(),
we end up with multiple symbols for RTE_PER_LCORE(_thread_id).
Each compilation unit will pay a cost when accessing this information
for the first time.

Introduce a helper responsible for initialising the per thread context.
We can then have a unified context for EAL and non-EAL threads and
remove copy/paste'd OS-specific helpers.
Per EAL thread CPU affinity setting is separated from the thread init.
It is to accommodate with Windows EAL where CPU affinity is not set at
the moment.
Besides, having affinity set by the master lcore in FreeBSD and Linux
will make it possible to detect errors rather than panic in the child
thread. But the cleanup when such an event happens is left for later.
A side-effect of this patch is that control threads can now use
recursive locks (rte_gettid() was not called before).
