I sent a patchset about this to be applied on 17.11 stable. The memory code has had main changes since that version, so here it is the patchset adjusted to current master repo. This patchset adds, mainly, a check for ensuring IOVAs are within a restricted range due to addressing limitations with some devices. There are two known cases: NFP and IOMMU VT-d emulation. With this check IOVAs out of range are detected and PMDs can abort initialization. For the VT-d case, IOVA VA mode is allowed as long as IOVAs are within the supported range, avoiding to forbid IOVA VA by default. For the addressing limitations known cases, there are just 40(NFP) or 39(VT-d) bits for handling IOVAs. When using IOVA PA, those limitations imply 1TB(NFP) or 512M(VT-d) as upper limits, which is likely enough for most systems. With machines using more memory, the added check will ensure IOVAs within the range. With IOVA VA, and because the way the Linux kernel serves mmap calls in 64 bits systems, 39 or 40 bits are not enough. It is possible to give an address hint with a lower starting address than the default one used by the kernel, and then ensuring the mmap uses that hint or hint plus some offset. With 64 bits systems, the process virtual address space is large enoguh for doing the hugepages mmaping within the supported range when those addressing limitations exist. This patchset also adds a change for using such a hint making the use of IOVA VA a more than likely possibility when there are those addressing limitations. The check is not done by default but just when it is required. This patchset adds the check for NFP initialization and for setting the IOVA mode is an emulated VT-d is detected. Also, because the recent patchset adding dynamic memory allocation, the check is also invoked for ensuring the new memsegs are within the required range. This patchset could be applied to stable 18.05. v2: - change logs from INFO to DEBUG - only keeps dma mask if device capable of addressing allocated memory - add ABI changes - change hint address increment to page size - split pci/bus commit in two - fix commits v3: - remove previous code about keeping dma mask

Hi, Lucero, Thomas This patch set will cause deadlock during memory initialization. rte_memseg_walk and try_expand_heap both will lock the file &mcfg->memory_hotplug_lock. So dead lock will occur. #0 rte_memseg_walk #1 <-rte_eal_check_dma_mask #2 <-alloc_pages_on_heap #3 <-try_expand_heap_primary #4 <-try_expand_heap Log as following: EAL: TSC frequency is ~2494156 KHz EAL: Master lcore 0 is ready (tid=7ffff7fe3c00;cpuset=[0]) [New Thread 0x7ffff5e0d700 (LWP 330350)] EAL: lcore 1 is ready (tid=7ffff5e0d700;cpuset=[1]) EAL: Trying to obtain current memory policy. EAL: Setting policy MPOL_PREFERRED for socket 0 EAL: Restoring previous memory policy: 0 Could you have a check on this? A lot of test cases in our validation team fail because of this. Thanks a lot!

One more comment about this issue, There was no reply to the question asked by Alejandro on October 11th: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-October/115402.html and there were no more reviews despite all my requests: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-October/117475.html Without any more comment, I had to apply the patchset. Now we need to find a solution. Please suggest. 29/10/2018 09:42, Thomas Monjalon: > 29/10/2018 09:23, Yao, Lei A: > > Hi, Lucero, Thomas > > > > This patch set will cause deadlock during memory initialization. > > rte_memseg_walk and try_expand_heap both will lock > > the file &mcfg->memory_hotplug_lock.

I know what is going on. In patchset version 3 I forgot to remove an old code. Anatoly spotted that and I was going to send another version for fixing it.

I got a patch that solves a bug when calling rte_eal_dma_mask using the mask instead of the maskbits. However, this does not solves the deadlock. Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one. Calling rte_memseg_walk does not return when calling inside rt_eal_dma_mask, but if you modify the call like this: *diff --git a/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memory.c b/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memory.c* *index 12dcedf5c..69b26e464 100644* *--- a/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memory.c* *+++ b/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memory.c* @@ -462,7 +462,7 @@ rte_eal_check_dma_mask(uint8_t maskbits) /* create dma mask */ mask = ~((1ULL << maskbits) - 1); - if (rte_memseg_walk(check_iova, &mask)) + if (!rte_memseg_walk(check_iova, &mask)) /* * Dma mask precludes hugepage usage. * This device can not be used and we do not need to keep it works, although the value returned to the invoker changes, of course. But the point here is it should be the same behaviour when calling rte_memseg_walk than before and it is not. Anatoly, maybe you can see something I can not.

I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization.

Alejandro, This patchset has been merged to stable/17.11 per your request for the last release. You must send a fix to stable/17.11 as well, if you think there's a same issue there.

There have been a lot of changes to the memory code since 17.11, and this problem should not be present in stable 17.11. Once I have said that, if there are any reports about a problem with this patchset in 17.11, I will work on it as a priority.

However, this does not solves the deadlock. The deadlock is a bigger concern I think. I think once the call to rte_eal_check_dma_mask uses the maskbits instead of the mask, calling rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe avoids the deadlock. Yao, can you try with the attached patch? Hi, Lucero This patch can fix the issue at my side. Thanks a lot for you quick action. Great! I will send an official patch with the changes. I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization. By now, this is just a problem with the NFP, and the potential race condition window really unlikely, but I will work on this asap. BRs Lei > Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one.

Anyway, the coding style requires to save the return value in a variable, instead of nesting the call in an "if" condition. And the "if" check should be explicitly != 0 because it is not a real boolean. PS: please do not top post and avoid HTML emails, thanks

The issue here is that this code is called from both memory-locked and memory-unlocked context. Virtio had a similar issue with their mem table update code - they solved it by manually locking the memory before doing everything else, and using thread_unsafe version of the walk.

If your code always returns 0, then return value of memseg_walk will always be zero. If your code returns 1 or -1 in some cases, then this error condition will trigger. If it doesn't, then your condition by which you decide to return 1 or 0, is incorrect :) I couldn't spot any obvious issues there, but i'll recheck.

However, because the multiprocess problem reported, I think the fixing requires other type of work. The problem I see now is calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask from set_iova_mode code path is wrong.

The return code changes everything so it does not make sense to compare both.

However, this does not solves the deadlock. The deadlock is a bigger concern I think. I think once the call to rte_eal_check_dma_mask uses the maskbits instead of the mask, calling rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe avoids the deadlock. Yao, can you try with the attached patch? Hi, Lucero This patch can fix the issue at my side. Thanks a lot for you quick action. Great! I will send an official patch with the changes. I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization. By now, this is just a problem with the NFP, and the potential race condition window really unlikely, but I will work on this asap. BRs Lei > Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one.

Anyway, the coding style requires to save the return value in a variable, instead of nesting the call in an "if" condition. And the "if" check should be explicitly != 0 because it is not a real boolean. PS: please do not top post and avoid HTML emails, thanks

Some found on some our servers: If not add ”intel_iommu=on iommu=pt” in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file, then reboot to make it effective. 18.11 rc1: Success to setup testpmd and secondary process. If add ”intel_iommu=on iommu=pt” in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file, then reboot to make it effective. 18.11 rc1: Fail to setup testpmd and secondary process. 18.11 rc1+ dma_mask_fix patch: success to setup testpmd, but fail to setup secondary process. Maybe ”intel_iommu=on iommu=pt” enable or not result in our test gap. Most of our team servers should enable the IOMMU for VT-d and vfio test.

However, this does not solves the deadlock. The deadlock is a bigger concern I think. I think once the call to rte_eal_check_dma_mask uses the maskbits instead of the mask, calling rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe avoids the deadlock. Yao, can you try with the attached patch? Hi, Lucero This patch can fix the issue at my side. Thanks a lot for you quick action. Great! I will send an official patch with the changes. I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization. By now, this is just a problem with the NFP, and the potential race condition window really unlikely, but I will work on this asap. BRs Lei > Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one.

Anyway, the coding style requires to save the return value in a variable, instead of nesting the call in an "if" condition. And the "if" check should be explicitly != 0 because it is not a real boolean. PS: please do not top post and avoid HTML emails, thanks

However, this does not solves the deadlock. The deadlock is a bigger concern I think. I think once the call to rte_eal_check_dma_mask uses the maskbits instead of the mask, calling rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe avoids the deadlock. Yao, can you try with the attached patch? Hi, Lucero This patch can fix the issue at my side. Thanks a lot for you quick action. Great! I will send an official patch with the changes. I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization. By now, this is just a problem with the NFP, and the potential race condition window really unlikely, but I will work on this asap. BRs Lei > Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one.

Anyway, the coding style requires to save the return value in a variable, instead of nesting the call in an "if" condition. And the "if" check should be explicitly != 0 because it is not a real boolean. PS: please do not top post and avoid HTML emails, thanks

I think once the call to rte_eal_check_dma_mask uses the maskbits instead of the mask, calling rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe avoids the deadlock. Yao, can you try with the attached patch? Hi, Lucero This patch can fix the issue at my side. Thanks a lot for you quick action. Great! I will send an official patch with the changes. I have to say that I tested the patchset, but I think it was where legacy_mem was still there and therefore dynamic memory allocation code not used during memory initialization. There is something that concerns me though. Using rte_memseg_walk_thread_unsafe could be a problem under some situations although those situations being unlikely. Usually, calling rte_eal_check_dma_mask happens during initialization. Then it is safe to use the unsafe function for walking memsegs, but with device hotplug and dynamic memory allocation, there exists a potential race condition when the primary process is allocating more memory and concurrently a device is hotplugged and a secondary process does the device initialization. By now, this is just a problem with the NFP, and the potential race condition window really unlikely, but I will work on this asap. BRs Lei > Interestingly, the problem looks like a compiler one.

Anyway, the coding style requires to save the return value in a variable, instead of nesting the call in an "if" condition. And the "if" check should be explicitly != 0 because it is not a real boolean. PS: please do not top post and avoid HTML emails, thanks
