            Bug ID: 507
           Summary: virtio perf decrease and interrupt abnormal
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 20.08
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: vhost/virtio
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: qimaix.xiao@intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

ENV Info:

DPDK version: dpdk20.08-rc1 commit fea5a82f5643901f8259bb1250acf53d6be4b9cb
Other software versions: qemu/3.0
OS: ubuntu2004
Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2) 9.3.0
Hardware platform: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6139 CPU @ 2.30GHz
NIC hardware: Fortville Spirit 40G.
NIC firmware: 
driver: i40e
version: 2.8.20-k
firmware-version: 6.80 0x80003cfb 1.2007.0

Test Steps:

1. Launch testpmd by below command::

    rm -rf vhost-net*
    ./testpmd -l 1-2 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 --no-pci \
    --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=vhost-net,queues=1' -- \
    -i --nb-cores=1 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
    testpmd>set fwd mac

2. Launch virtio-user by below command::

    ./testpmd -n 4 -l 5-6 --socket-mem 1024,1024 \
    --legacy-mem --no-pci --file-prefix=virtio \
   
--vdev=net_virtio_user0,mac=00:01:02:03:04:05,path=./vhost-net,queues=1,packed_vq=1,mrg_rxbuf=1,in_order=0
\
    -- -i --nb-cores=1 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
    testpmd>set fwd mac
    testpmd>start

3. Send packets with vhost-testpmd,[frame_size] is the parameter changs in [64,
1518]::

    testpmd>set txpkts [frame_size]
    testpmd>start tx_first 32

4. Get throughput 10 times and calculate the average throughput::

    testpmd>show port stats all

5. Check each RX/TX queue has packets, then quit testpmd::

    testpmd>stop
    testpmd>quit

6. Launch testpmd by below command::

    rm -rf vhost-net*
    ./testpmd -l 1-9 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 --no-pci \
    --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=vhost-net,queues=8' -- \
    -i --nb-cores=8 --rxq=8 --txq=8 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
    testpmd>set fwd mac

7. Launch virtio-user by below command::

    ./testpmd -n 4 -l 10-18 --socket-mem 1024,1024 \
    --legacy-mem --no-pci --file-prefix=virtio \
   
--vdev=net_virtio_user0,mac=00:01:02:03:04:05,path=./vhost-net,queues=8,packed_vq=1,mrg_rxbuf=1,in_order=0
\
    -- -i --nb-cores=8 --rxq=8 --txq=8 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
    testpmd>set fwd mac
    testpmd>start

8. Send packets with vhost-testpmd,[frame_size] is the parameter changs in [64,
1518]::

    testpmd>set txpkts [frame_size]
    testpmd>start tx_first 32

9. Get throughput 10 times and calculate the average throughput

    testpmd>show port stats all

Test Result:
throughput mpps of 8 queues performance decreased more than 15%(from about 93
to 78), and not reach the 8 times of 1 queue as expected

Expected:
the throughput of 8 queues should be 8 times of 1 queue

    vhost: improve device readiness notifications

    Some guest drivers may not configure disabled virtio queues.

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

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

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

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

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