  Since dmadev is introduced in 21.11, to avoid the overhead of vhost DMA
abstraction layer and simplify application logics, this patch integrates
dmadev in asynchronous data path.

Hi JiaYu, 
    it looks the parameter checking ignore the "rxd" case ? I think if
    the patch enable enqueue/dequeue at same time. rxd is needed for
    DMAS parameters.

Liang

Hi Jiayu,

This is first round of review, I'll spend time on OVS patches later and look back.

No need to introduce vring_id, it's always VIRTIO_RXQ

Please call rte_dma_info_get before configure to make sure info.max_vchans >=1

Then the above means the number of vchan is not configured.

All dma_id in the API should be uint16_t. Otherwise you need to check if valid.

I think based on current design, vhost can use every vchan if user app let it.
So the max_desc and max_vchans can just be got from dmadev APIs? Then there's
no need to introduce the new ABI struct rte_vhost_async_dma_info.

And about max_desc, I see the dmadev lib, you can get vchan's max_desc but you
may use a nb_desc (<= max_desc) to configure vchanl. And IIUC, vhost wants to
know the nb_desc instead of max_desc?

I think when aligning to power of 2, it should exceed not max_desc?
And based on above comment, if this max_desc is nb_desc configured for
vchanl, you should just make sure the nb_desc be power-of-2.

This assumes rte_dma_copy will always succeed if there's available space.

But the API doxygen says:

* @return
 *   - 0..UINT16_MAX: index of enqueued job.
 *   - -ENOSPC: if no space left to enqueue.
 *   - other values < 0 on failure.

So it should consider other vendor-specific errors.

Do you suggest to use "rte_dma_info_get() and info.max_vchans=0" to indicate
the device is not configured, rather than using is_dma_configure()?

Yes, you are right. Although dma_id is defined as int16_t and DMA library checks
if it is valid, vhost doesn't handle DMA failure and we need to make sure dma_id
is valid before using it. And even if vhost handles DMA error, a better place to check
invalid dma_id is before passing it to DMA library too. I will add the check later.

Yes, no need to introduce struct rte_vhost_async_dma_info. We can either use
struct rte_dma_info which is suggested by Maxime, or query from dma library
via device id. Since dma device configuration is left to applications, I prefer to
use rte_dma_info directly. How do you think?

True, nb_desc is better than max_desc. But dma library doesn’t provide function
to query nb_desc for every vchannel. And rte_dma_info cannot be used in
rte_vhost_async_dma_configure(), if vhost uses nb_desc. So the only way is
to require users to provide nb_desc for every vchannel, and it will introduce
a new struct. Is it really needed?

Aligned max_desc is used to allocate context tracking array. We only need
to guarantee the size of the array for every vchannel is >= max_desc. So it's
OK to have greater array size than max_desc.

Error handling is not free here. Specifically, SW fallback is a way to handle failed
copy operations. But it requires vhost to track VA for every source and destination
buffer for every copy. DMA library uses IOVA, so vhost only prepares IOVA for copies of
every packet in async data-path. In the case of IOVA as PA, the prepared IOVAs cannot
be used as SW fallback, which means vhost needs to store VA for every copy of every
packet too, even if there no errors will happen or IOVA is VA.

I am thinking that the only usable DMA engines in vhost are CBDMA and DSA, is it worth
the cost for "future HW"? If there will be other vendor's HW in future, is it OK to add the
support later? Or is there any way to get VA from IOVA?

No, I mean when you configure the dmadev with one vchan, make sure it does have

Just like the function call sequence in test_dmadev_instance, test_dmadev.c.

If you only use rte_dma_info as input param, you will also need to call dmadev
API to get dmadev ID in rte_vhost_async_dma_configure (Or you add both rte_dma_info
and dmadev ID). So I suggest to only use dmadev ID as input.

Since now dmadev lib does not provide a way to query real nb_desc for a vchanl,
so I think we can just use max_desc.

But ideally, if dmadev lib provides such a way, the configured nb_desc and nb_vchanl
should be used to configure vhost lib.

@Bruce, should you add such a way in dmadev lib? As users now do not know the real
configured nb_desc of vchanl.

Let's investigate how much performance drop the error handling will bring and see...

It is better to define RTE_VHOST_MAX_DEVICES in rte_vhost.h,
and use it here in in vhost library so that it will always be aligned
with the Vhost library.

> +#define DMA_RING_SIZE 4096

As previous review, the DMA ring size should not be hard-coded.
Please use the DMA lib helpers to get the ring size also here.

Looking at the dmadev library, I would just use the max value provided
by the device. What would be the downside of doing so?

Looking at currently available DMA device drivers, this is their
max_desc value:
  - CNXK: 15
  - DPAA: 64
  - HISI: 8192
  - IDXD: 4192
  - IOAT: 4192
  - Skeleton: 8192

So harcoding to 4192 will prevent some to DMA devices to be used, and
will not make full benefit of their capabilities for others.

No need for braces for both the loop and the if.

You should be able to get rid off async_vhost_driver and instead rely on

Let's just exit the app if DMAs were provided in command line but cannot

That will be problematic with CNXK driver that reports 15 as max_desc.

That's quite a huge allocation (4096 * 8B per channel).

The vq->access_lock is held by the threads (directly or indirectly)

I don't think using unlikely() is appropriate here, as single-segment

Please, check for errors to ease debugging, you can for now add a debug
print if error is set which would print rte_errno. And once we have my
Vhost statistics series in, I could add a counter for it.

The DMA device could be in a bad state for other reason than unpinned

Are you sure max_pkts is valid here as a packet could contain several
segments?

OK, I will rename "MAX_VHOST_DEVICE" to "RTE_MAX_VHOST_DEVICE" in
vhost library, and use it instead.

Yes, it shouldn't hardcode. But from my perspective, I don't want to
give any implication to users that the max ring size is always the best
choice. It's like the choice of NIC ring size, and default is 2048 in OVS.
I think it's better use a default value and check if it's OK for used DMA
devices.

Using max ring size may cause the memory footprint a bit larger, and it is
the same as the large ring size of vhost, IMO. But it's not a measurable
"cost", and I am not sure if it's a cost or not TBH. Because mempool has
a cache and it usually allocates mbufs recently used. So cache miss status
should not become too much worse because of large ring size. But it
depends on lots of factors, and hard to tell if it hurts perf or not.

Good catch. vhost example should be compatible to all DMA devices too.
I will change later.

The max_desc used here is to allocate a circular array for vchannel, and its size
must >= vchan SW ring size, which is configured by rte_dma_vchan_setup().
So I think rte_align32pow2(15) will not become a problem for CNXK.

The fact is that max_vchans is 1 for all available DMA devices in DPDK. So the real
size is 4096*8*num_dma_devices. Like Chenbo suggested, it would save memory
if DMA library provides a API to query vchannel real ring size. But for now, to make
API compatible for later changes, I think Chenbo's suggestion that using dma_id and
querying max_desc in vhost is good, since it's easy to change vhost to use real ring
size instead max ring size, if DMA library provides this API in the future.

The ring_mask is not for device vchan ring, but for circular buffer which is
used to track copy context. The size of circular buffer only needs >= vchan
ring size. So if we can guarantee the size of circular buffer is pow2, ring_mask
can be used.

Yes, threads will acquire vq->access_lock, but think about the case of
sharing one DMA between 2 vrings. It's possible to poll completed copies
from DMA0 that belong to vring1, when the thread calls poll_enqueue_completed
for vring0, as vring0 and vring1 share DMA0. The vq->access_lock will not
protect vring1 in this case. 

I think the comment is not accurate... In the case of two threads enqueue
pkts to the same vring, they will not write the array pkts_cmpl_flag simultaneously
in submit_enqueue_burst, but poll_enqueue_completed. In addition, since
offloading is per-packet basis, each elem in pkts_cmpl_flag will only be written
by one thread. Therefore, it's possible multiple threads write pkts_cmpl_flag
at the same time, but they write different elements. I will update the comment
if the above explanation looks reasonable to you.

Sure, thanks for your suggestions. I will add later. In addition, for the error
handling in rte_dma_copy(), I avoids ENOSPC error by checking capacity before
call rte_dma_copy(). When other errors happen, it's possible that a part of copies
of a packet are enqueue to DMA, but the left are failed. DMA library doesn't have
a cancel API to drop copies enqueued to DMA SW ring but not submitted to DMA
device, so the only way to handle the partial offloading case error is to store all VA
for each IOVA segments and do SW copy for error ones. IOVA can be PA, so IOVA
and VA segments for a same packet would be different. How do you think?

No, it's not the best choice for SG packets. But it will not cause error,
but hurt performance. I have added a factor to mitigate the impacts to
performance for SG packets. Specifically, the number of copies to poll
is calculated by factor*max_pkts, and factor is set to 1 by default but
users can change it via rte_vhost_async_dma_configure(). For example,
if the avg. packet is 4KB, so the factor can be set to 2 (4KB/2KB, where
2KB is mbuf_size). Then the copies to poll from DMA device is 2*32,
rather than 32 in current design.

+Vhost asynchronous data path
+----------------------------
+
+Vhost asynchronous data path leverages DMA devices to offload memory
+copies from the CPU and it is implemented in an asynchronous way. It
+enables applcations, like OVS, to save CPU cycles and hide memory copy
+overhead, thus achieving higher throughput.
+
+Vhost doesn't manage DMA devices and applications, like OVS, need to
+manage and configure DMA devices. Applications need to tell vhost what
+DMA devices to use in every data path function call. This design enables
+the flexibility for applications to dynamically use DMA channels in
+different function modules, not limited in vhost.
+
+In addition, vhost supports M:N mapping between vrings and DMA virtual
+channels. Specifically, one vring can use multiple different DMA channels
+and one DMA channel can be shared by multiple vrings at the same time.
+The reason of enabling one vring to use multiple DMA channels is that
+it's possible that more than one dataplane threads enqueue packets to
+the same vring with their own DMA virtual channels. Besides, the number
+of DMA devices is limited. For the purpose of scaling, it's necessary to
+support sharing DMA channels among vrings.
