[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] ethdev: fix representor port ID search by name

[Andrew Rybchenko]

From: Viacheslav Galaktionov <viacheslav.galaktionov@oktetlabs.ru>

Fix representor port ID search by name if the representor itself
does not provide representors info. Getting a list of representors
from a representor does not make sense. Instead, a parent device
should be used.

To this end, extend the rte_eth_dev_data structure to include the port ID
of the parent device for representors.

Fixes: df7547a6a2cc ("ethdev: add helper function to get representor ID")

The new field is added into the hole in rte_eth_dev_data structure.
The patch does not change ABI, but extra care is required since ABI
check is disabled for the structure because of the libabigail bug [1].

Potentially it is bad for out-of-tree drivers which implement
representors but do not fill in a new parert_port_id field in
rte_eth_dev_data structure. Do we care?

May be the patch should add lines to release notes, but I'd like
to get initial feedback first.

mlx5 changes should be reviwed by maintainers very carefully, since
we are not sure if we patch it correctly.

It make more sense to get representor info from parent port. Representor is a member of switch domain, PMD owns 
the information of  the representor owner port and info of representors. This change looks better, but not sure
whether it valuable to introduce a new member to the EAL data structure.

IMHO, it is simply incorrect to return representors info on a
representor itself. Representor info is an information which
representors may be populated using the device.

If above statement is correct, we need a way to get parent device
by representor to do name to representor ID mapping. I see two
options to do it:
  A. Dedicated field in rte_eth_dev_data as the patch does.
  B. Dedicated ethdev op (since representor knows parent port ID anyway).
We have chosen (A) because of simplicity.

Just recalled that representor port could be probed w/o owner PF, is a force for parent port?

I thought that it is impossible and parent port is absolutely required
for a representor. Could you provide an example and explain how will it
work?

In case of bonding, PF0 and PF1 become one PF port `bond0`, PCI address is PF0.
	-a <PF0>,representor=pf[0-1]vf[0-99] // this is the syntax we proposed.

To be backward compatible, also support the following 2 devargs:
	-a <pf0>,representor=[0-99] // probe bond0 and representor on pf0
	-a <pf1>,representor=[0-99] // probe representors on pf1.
If devargs start with PF1 devargs, no owner PF1 created as it disabled in bonding. Can't create bond0(PF0) automatically here as 
device is located by PCI address(PF1) from devargs.

Is it net/bonding or vendor-specific bonding in HW?
If I remember correctly in the case of net/bonding we have ethdev ports
for bonded devices.

So, I guess the problem is vendor-specific bonding in HW. Anyway
legacy backward compatible representor spec should not require
representors info since it worked before without it. So, it does
not sound like a reason to have representors info on a representor
itself.

Not net/bonding pmd, it's Linux bonding, supported by hw driver.

Legacy backward logic could be something like this: if PF owner port found, use it, fallback to current representor.
This won't break anything I guess, how do you think?

Logically even in legacy backward compatibility PF1 VFs representors
have parent port ID - PF0 which is a bond of PF0 & PF1. So,
parent_port_id should be filled in. In this case eth_representor_cmp()
will do rte_eth_representor_id_get(PF0-bond-id, -1, -1, VF, &id) which
will return PF0 VF representor ID. Most likely it will even match and
everything works, but it is still incorrect.

In fact, I have another idea. Try to do:
rte_eth_representor_id_get(representor-port-id, ...) first
for the backward compatibility case and, if not supported, do
it on parent port ID.

The PF0, bond of PF0 and PF1 will return representor info for VF/SFs under both PFs. It should work.

Do you mean line 1260? The comment above says "Look for sibling devices 
in order to reuse their switch domain if any, otherwise allocate one.".
So, it is not a parent. Is the comment misleading and parent matches
the search criteria as well? But in any case, we should guarantee that
it is a parent port, not a sibling port. So, we need extra criteria to
match parent port only.

Yes, you are correct. How about mlx5_find_master_dev()? It locate master port in same switch domain.
