[PATCH] drivers: skip build of sub-libs not supporting IOVA mode

[PATCH] drivers: skip build of sub-libs not supporting IOVA mode

[Thomas Monjalon]

If IOVA as PA is disabled and the driver does not support IOVA as VA,
the build of the driver was disabled.
Unfortunately some drivers were building some sub-libraries
(with specific options for vector paths) which were not disabled.

The build parsing of those drivers need to be skipped earlier
to avoid defining the sub-libraries.

If we check enable_iova_as_pa for each unsupported driver , do we still need "pmd_supports_disable_iova_as_pa"?

They are a bit redundant.
The idea is to use pmd_supports_disable_iova_as_pa (could be renamed)
as it is simpler to use.
But in the case of drivers having sub-libs (always enabled),
we need an extra check of enable_iova_as_pa inside the driver file.

That's why I prefer my previous solution for i40e and iavf,
because, someday we may claim pmd_supports_disable_iova_as_pa = true but still leave avx part not be fixed.

Both are in the same file, so I don't see how it could be missed,
especially if those lines are placed together.

We have a variable used commonly with a standardized message, we must use it,
at least to allow easy grep of this support.

[PATCH v2 0/2] refactor diasbling IOVA as PA

[Thomas Monjalon]

As discussed recently in some email threads,
it looks simpler to reword the feature "enabling IOVA as PA"
to "requiring IOVA in mbuf".
The Meson option name is not changed (compatibility is kept)
but the variables are renamed.

The second patch (which can be applied alone)
is fixing the build when IOVA as PA is disabled.

v2: renames

  build: clarify configuration without IOVA field in mbuf

[PATCH v2 1/2] build: clarify configuration without IOVA field in mbuf

[Thomas Monjalon]

The impact of the option "enable_iova_as_pa" is explained for users.

Also the code flag "RTE_IOVA_AS_PA" is renamed as "RTE_IOVA_IN_MBUF"
in order to be more accurate (IOVA mode is decided at runtime),
and more readable in the code.

Similarly the drivers are using the variable "require_iova_in_mbuf"
instead of "pmd_supports_disable_iova_as_pa" with an opposite meaning.
By default, it is assumed that drivers require the IOVA field in mbuf.
The drivers which support removing this field have to declare themselves.

If the option "enable_iova_as_pa" is disabled, the unsupported drivers
will be listed with the new reason text "requires IOVA in mbuf".

Suggested-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

I don't particularly like the always_enable check at the end. If a driver
is set to always-enable and it doesn't support the configured mode, we
should throw an error immediately IMHO, rather than silently continuing to
build the driver.

I think the reason given is more accurate, but for those users not familiar
with the internals of DPDK builds it could be confusing. I think the
message needs to reference the 'enable_iova_as_pa' option. How about?

	reason = 'requires IOVA in mbuf (set enable_iova_as_pa option)'

We can think about the "forced enabling" as a developer test.
But the developer could change the meson file to enable it.
So I'm OK to replace it with an error.

Should add to release 23.03 rst.
The original 22.11 still have RTE_IOVA_AS_PA definition.

Suggest keep original, and replace RTE_IOVA_AS_PA with RTE_IOVA_IN_MBUF:
if dpdk_conf.get('RTE_IOVA_IN_MBUF') == 0
     subdir_done()
endif
Meson build 0.63.0 already support deprecated a option by a new option.
When update to the new meson verion, the drivers' meson.build will not be modified.

Yes we could add a note in API changes.

Yes it was not a good idea to rename in the release notes.

Why testing the C macro in Meson?
It looks simpler to check the Meson option in Meson.

I don't understand this comment.

The macro was create in meson.build: config/meson.build:319:dpdk_conf.set10('RTE_IOVA_AS_PA', get_option('enable_iova_as_pa'))
It can be regarded as alias of enable_iova_as_pa.

This commit was mainly used to improve comprehensibility. so we should limit the 'enable_iova_as_pa' usage scope.
and the 'if dpdk_conf.get('RTE_IOVA_IN_MBUF') == 0' is more comprehensibility than 'if not get_option('enable_iova_as_pa')'

I mean: the option "enable_iova_as_pa" need deprecated future.

Based on this, I think we should limit 'enable_iova_as_pa' usage scope, this allows us to
reduce the amount of change effort when it's about to deprecated.

It is not strictly an alias, because it can be overriden via CFLAGS.

To me, using Meson option in Meson files is more obvious.

Bruce, what do you think?

Why deprecating this option?

I don't plan to deprecate this option.
And in general, we should avoid deprecating a compilation option.

I'm not sure it matters much! However, I think of the two, using the
reference to IOVA_IN_MBUF is clearer. It also allows the same terminology
to be used in meson and C files. If we don't want to do a dpdk_conf lookup,
we can always assign the option to a meson variable called iova_in_mbuf.

OK I'll query the C macro in the Meson files.

[PATCH v2 2/2] drivers: skip build of sub-libs not supporting IOVA mode

[Thomas Monjalon]

If IOVA as PA is disabled and the driver requires the IOVA field,
the build of the driver was disabled.
Unfortunately some drivers were building some sub-libraries
(with specific options for vector paths) which were not disabled.

The build parsing of those drivers need to be skipped earlier
to avoid defining the sub-libraries.

Fixes: a986c2b7973d ("build: add option to configure IOVA mode as PA")

[PATCH v3 0/5] refactor disabling IOVA as PA

[Thomas Monjalon]

As discussed recently in some email threads,
it looks simpler to reword the feature "enabling IOVA as PA"
to "requiring IOVA in mbuf".
The Meson option name is not changed (compatibility is kept)
but the variables are renamed.

Some patches to allow building of some drivers are integrated.

The last patch is fixing the build when IOVA as PA is disabled.

v3: use C macro, rebase, fixes
v2: renames

[PATCH v3 1/5] build: clarify configuration without IOVA field in mbuf

[Thomas Monjalon]

The impact of the option "enable_iova_as_pa" is explained for users.

Also the code flag "RTE_IOVA_AS_PA" is renamed as "RTE_IOVA_IN_MBUF"
in order to be more accurate (IOVA mode is decided at runtime),
and more readable in the code.

Similarly the drivers are using the variable "require_iova_in_mbuf"
instead of "pmd_supports_disable_iova_as_pa" with an opposite meaning.
By default, it is assumed that drivers require the IOVA field in mbuf.
The drivers which support removing this field have to declare themselves.
Some bus drivers are declared compatible.

If the option "enable_iova_as_pa" is disabled, the unsupported drivers
will be listed with the new reason text "requires IOVA in mbuf".

[PATCH v3 5/5] drivers: skip build of sub-libs not supporting IOVA mode

[Thomas Monjalon]

If IOVA as PA is disabled and the driver requires the IOVA field,
the build of the driver was disabled.
Unfortunately some drivers were building some sub-libraries
(with specific options for vector paths) which were not disabled.

The build parsing of those drivers need to be skipped earlier
to avoid defining the sub-libraries.

Fixes: a986c2b7973d ("build: add option to configure IOVA mode as PA")
