[PATCH v1 00/15] support multi-pthread per core

[PATCH v1 00/15] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core. 
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.
  
Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v1 01/15] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v1 02/15] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6)' means starting 7 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)

This strikes me as very confusing, though a couple of tweaks might help with
readability. The lcore 0 at the end is especially confusing. Perhaps we can 
limit the allowed formats here,
* require the lcore_id to be specified - the lack of an lcore id for the last part
makes having it as lcore 0 surprising.
* only allow one lcore id to be given for each set of cores. 

I think it may still be readable if we allow the core set to be omitted if its
to be the same as the lcore_id.

It's probably still not going to be very tidy, but I think we can improve things.

Didn't get you here: do you find (0,6) confusing, right?
Because braces implicitly specifies affinity for group of en-braced lcores?

Again, not sure I understand you properly:  lcore_id(s) are always specified explicitly. 
Physical cpus part might be omitted.

> * only allow one lcore id to be given for each set of cores.

So you mean for '(3-5)@(0,2)' user would have to: '3@(0,2),4@(0,2),5@(0,2)'?
I don't see big difference here, but imagine you'd like to create a pool of 32 EAL-threads running on same cpu set.
With current syntax it is just something like: '(32-63)@(0-7)'.
With what you proposing it will be a very long list.

I think that is supported.
See lcore_id=1 in Steve's example above.
As I understand: --lcores='0,2,3-5' is equal to '-l 0,2,3-5' and to '-c 0x3d'.

Re: [PATCH v1 02/15] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Wodkowski, PawelX]

Hi,
I want to mention that similar but for me much more readable syntax have 
Pktgen-DPDK for defining core - port mapping. Maybe we can adopt this syntax
for new '--lcores' parameter.

See '-m' parameter syntax on Pktgen readme.

Re: [PATCH v1 02/15] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Liang, Cunming]

Hi Pawel,

I don't see much different there.
If replacing '@' to '.'; '()' to '[]'; and ',' to '/'; they're almost the same.
Without having rx/tx case, so ':' is useless in our case.
Considering the semantic, '@'(at) is more readable than '.' for core assignment.

[Liang, Cunming] The last one lcore_set (0,6) without cpuset assigned is equal to '(0,6)@(0,6)' or '0@(0,6), 6@(0,6)'.
It's not a typical use case but gives an aggressive sample, it shows the simple way to explain the map.

[PATCH v1 03/15] eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

It returns the socket_id if all cpus in the cpuset belongs
to the same NUMA node, otherwise it will return SOCKET_ID_ANY.

[PATCH v1 05/15] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

[PATCH v1 06/15] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v1 07/15] eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

EAL threads use assigned cpuset to set core affinity during startup.
It keeps 1:1 mapping, if no '--lcores' option is used.

I prefer not casting -1 to unsigned it will cause warnings.
It is better to make socket_id an integer and then have
the implicit cast in the return.

[Liang, Cunming] I didn't got warning about it, in which version of compiler complain it ?

[PATCH v1 10/15] log: fix the gap to support non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For those non-EAL thread, *_lcore_id* is invalid and probably larger than RTE_MAX_LCORE.
The patch adds the check and allows only EAL thread using EAL per thread log level and log type.
Others shares the global log level.

[Cunming Liang]

For those none EAL thread, *_lcore_id* shall always be LCORE_ID_ANY.
The libraries using *_lcore_id* as index need to take care.
*_socket_id* always be SOCKET_ID_ANY unitl the thread changes the affinity

In non-EAL thread, lcore_id alrways be LCORE_ID_ANY.
It cann't be used as unique id for recursive spinlock.

[PATCH v1 13/15] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.

I don't understand this limitation. 

I see that the rte_membuf.h defines table per RTE_MAX_LCORE like below 
#if RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE > 0
        /** Per-lcore local cache. */
        struct rte_mempool_cache local_cache[RTE_MAX_LCORE];
#endif

But why we cannot extent the size of the local cache table to something like RTE_MAX_THREADS that does not exceed max value of rte_lcore_id()

Keeping this condition here is a  real performance killer!!!!!!. 
I saw in my test application spending more 95% of CPU time reading the atomic in M C/MP ring utilizing access to mempool.

[Liang, Cunming] This is the first step to make it work.
By Konstantin's comments, shall prevent to allocate unique id by ourselves.
And the return value from gettid() is too large as an index.
For non-EAL thread performance gap, will think about additional fix patch here.
If care about performance, still prefer to choose EAL thread now.

In previous patch you had allocation of the thread id on base of unique gettid() as number 
not a potential pointer as we can expect from implementation getid() from Linux or BSD.

The another problem is that we compare here int with some unique thread identifier.
How can you prevent that when implementation of gettid will change and unique thread identifier will be 
Less than RTE_MAX_LCORE and will be still unique. 

I think that your assumption will work for well-known operating systems but will be very unportable.

Regarding performance the DPDK can work efficiently in different environments including pthreads. 
You can imagine running DPDK from pthread application where affinity will be made by application. 
Effectiveness depends on application thread implementation comparable to EAL threads. 

I think that this is a goal for this change.

I am really puzzled with your sentence above.
What ' potential pointer' you are talking about?
rte_lcore_id() - returns unsigned 32bit integer (as it always did).
_lcore_id for each EAL thread is assigned at rte_eal_init().
For the EAL thread  _lcore_id value is in interval [0, RTE_MAX_LCORE) and
it is up to the user to make sure that each _lcore_id is unique inside DPDK MultiProcess group.
That's all as it was before. 
What's new with Steve's patch:
1) At startup user can select a set of physical cpu(s) on which each EAL thread (lcore) can run.
>From explanation at  [PATCH v1 02/15]:
--lcores='1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6)' means starting 7 EAL thread as below
lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)

2) Non-EAL (dynamically created threads) will have their  _lcore_id set to LCORE_ID_ANY (==UINT32_MAX).
That allow us to distinguish them from EAL threads (lcores).
Make changes in DPDK functions, so that they will safely work within such threads too, but there could be some performance 
(rte_mempool get/put)  degradation comaring to EAL thread.  

> 
> The another problem is that we compare here int with some unique thread identifier.

We are not doing that here.
_lcore_id is unsigned int.

> How can you prevent that when implementation of gettid will change and unique thread identifier will be

We are not using gettid() to assign _lcore_id values.
And never did.
Please read the patch set carefully.

That was one of the goals of the patch: make all DPDK API to work with dynamically created threads.
So now it is safe to do:

static void *thread_func1(void *arg)
{
    rte_pktmbuf_free((struct rte_mbuf *)arg);
   return NULL;
}

pthread_t tid;
struct rte_mbuf *m = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
 
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func1, m);


As Steve pointed - if you are dependent on rte_mempool get/put performance inside your threads -
better to use EAL threads.
With current patch you can have up to RTE_MAX_LCORE such threads and can assign any cpu affinity for each of them.
Though, if you have an idea how to extend mempool cache to any number of dynamically created threads
(make cache for each mempool sort of TLS?), then sure we can discuss it.
But I suppose it should be a metter of separate patch.

[PATCH v1 15/15] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

Why not extend the priv_timer size to value being in range returned by rte_lcore_id().

All timer stuff will work automatically after such change without any change in timer logic including stats.

[Liang, Cunming] The same reason as mempool does.
It won't expect to involve dynamic unique id allocation for user thread on the first step.
The failure secondary won't release the reserved id which cause potential unexpected leak.
So will look for other approach to improve the libraries in the next step.

[PATCH v2 00/15] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' 

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core. 
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.
  
Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v2 01/15] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v2 02/15] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v2 03/15] eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

It returns the socket_id if all cpus in the cpuset belongs
to the same NUMA node, otherwise it will return SOCKET_ID_ANY.

[PATCH v2 05/15] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

[PATCH v2 06/15] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v2 13/15] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.

[PATCH v2 15/15] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

[PATCH v3 00/16] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v3 changes:
  add sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [15/16]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores'

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v3 01/16] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v3 02/16] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v3 03/16] eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

It returns the socket_id if all cpus in the cpuset belongs
to the same NUMA node, otherwise it will return SOCKET_ID_ANY.

[PATCH v3 05/16] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

[PATCH v3 06/16] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v3 07/16] eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

EAL threads use assigned cpuset to set core affinity during startup.
It keeps 1:1 mapping, if no '--lcores' option is used.

[PATCH v3 10/16] log: fix the gap to support non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For those non-EAL thread, *_lcore_id* is invalid and probably larger than RTE_MAX_LCORE.
The patch adds the check and allows only EAL thread using EAL per thread log level and log type.
Others shares the global log level.

[Cunming Liang]

For those none EAL thread, *_lcore_id* shall always be LCORE_ID_ANY.
The libraries using *_lcore_id* as index need to take care.
*_socket_id* always be SOCKET_ID_ANY unitl the thread changes the affinity

In non-EAL thread, lcore_id alrways be LCORE_ID_ANY.
It cann't be used as unique id for recursive spinlock.
Then use rte_gettid() to replace it.

[PATCH v3 13/16] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.

[PATCH v3 16/16] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

[PATCH v4 00/17] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v4 changes:
  new patch fixing strnlen() invalid return in 32bit icc [03/17]
  update and add more comments on sched_yield() [16/17]

v3 changes:
  new patch adding sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [16/17]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' [02/17]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v4 01/17] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

I don't see the link with the patch. Should this go somewhere else?

Should we also define RTE_CPU_SETSIZE?
For linux, should <sched.h> be included?

If I understand well, after the patch series, the user of
rte_thread_set_affinity() and rte_thread_get_affinity() are
supposed to use the macros from sched.h to access to this
cpuset parameter. So I'm wondering if it's not better to
use cpu_set_t from libc instead of redefining rte_cpuset_t.

To reword my question: what is the purpose of redefining
cpu_set_t in rte_cpuset_t if we still need to use all the
libc API to access to it?

Olivier

[LCM] It uses the fix size cpuset, won't use CPU_ALLOC() to get the pointer of cpuset.
The RTE_CPU_SETSIZE always equal to sizeof(rte_cpuset_t).

[LCM] In linux the type is *cpu_set_t*, but in freebsd it's *cpuset_t*.
The purpose of *rte_cpuset_t* is to make the consistent type definition in EAL, and to avoid lots of #ifdef for this diff.
In either linux or freebsd, it still can use the MACRO in libc to set the rte_cpuset_t.

The advantage of using CPU_ALLOC() is to avoid issues when the number
of core will be higher than 1024. I agree it's probably a bit early
to think about this, but it could happen soon :)

OK, it makes sense then. I did not notice the difference between linux
and bsd.

I personally don't think, we'll hit 1K cpu limit anytime soon...

So, I'd suggest to stick with fixed size for now.

[LCM] Yes, I missed this one. I agree to move to a separate one and remove undef but rename the PAGE_SIZE to EAL_PAGE_SIZE.

[PATCH v4 02/17] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

It's not very clear what elem is. Maybe it could be a bit reworded.
What about naming the function "eal_parse_cpuset()" instead?

In the function above, there are some typos in the comments
 seperator -> separator
 qulify -> qualify
 proccess -> process

I don't think the function should be inlined

[LCM] As it not only parse cpuset but also used for lcore set, so 'eal_parse_cpuset' is not accurate.
The set/elem here identify for a single number (e.g. 1), a number range (e.g. 4-6) or a group (e.g. (3,4-8,9) ).
I'll reword the comment for better understand. Thanks.

[PATCH v4 03/17] eal: fix wrong strnlen() return value in 32bit icc

[Cunming Liang]

The problem is that strnlen() here may return invalid value with 32bit icc.
(actually it returns it’s second parameter,e.g: sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)).
It starts to manifest hwen max_len parameter is > 2M and using icc –m32 –O2 (or above).

I think PATH_MAX is not equivalent to _SC_ARG_MAX.

But the main question is: why do we need to use strnlen() here instead
of strlen? We can expect that argv[] pointers are always nul-terminated.
Replacing them by strlen() would probably also solve the icc issue.

[LCM] You're right, here strlen() also solve icc issue and no risk for argv[].
But follows practice suggestion, keeping using those with 'n' function in DPDK is not bad.
There's additional two reason to keep strnlen and PATH_MAX.
1. PATH_MAX is defined as 4096 which is enough as our input. It doesn't matter to be _SC_ARG_MAX or not.
2. strnlen and PATH_MAX already used in eal_parse_coremask, to keep the style consistent in '-l' and '--lcores'.

PATH_MAX is 4096 but it's not related to the maximum argument length.

I don't think it's a valid argument.

What is the problem of using strlen()? It looks it solves all the
issues. Using strlen on valid strings is not a security issue.

[PATCH v4 04/17] eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

It returns the socket_id if all cpus in the cpuset belongs
to the same NUMA node, otherwise it will return SOCKET_ID_ANY.

Wouldn't it be better to rename the existing function cpu_socket_id()
in eal_cpu_socket_id() and export it in eal_thread.h?

In case of bsd where cpu_socket_id() is implemented using a #define,
a new function should be created returning 0.

SOCKET_ID_ANY is not defined, maybe <rte_lcore.h> should be included
somewhere.

I don't think this function should be inlined.

As this function is not used, it could be interesting for reviewers
to understand when

[LCM] In eal_lcore.c, the cpu_socket_id()/cpu_core_id() defined as static and only used in rte_eal_cpu_init().
I suppose the purpose of origin design is to make the sysfs parsing only visible in the file.
No matter remove the 'static' prefix of cpu_core_id() or add a new wrap eal_cpu_socket_id(), it results in a new extern EAL API.
So I prefer not change the visibility of the origin static function but have one as extern interface.

[LCM] Agree with you, eal_cpuset_socket_id() can move into eal_common_thread.c.
And add rte_memory.h for SOCKET_ID_ANY reference.

Yes, but I don't see what is the advantage of using a wrapper.
If there is no advantage, I think the one with the less code is
better.

As it's not visible in the patch, could you add an explanation in
the commit log?

[PATCH v4 05/17] eal: new TLS definition and API declaration

To me, it's a bit strage to add an API withtout the associated code.
Maybe you have a good reason to do that, but I think in this case it
should be explained in the commit log.

Although it's equivalent for function arguments, I think "char *str" is
usually preferred over "char str[]". See for instance in snprintf() or
fgets().

What is the purpose of CPU_STR_LEN?

What occurs if the size of the dump is greater than the size of the
given buffer? Is the string truncated? Is there a \0 at the end?
This should be described in the API comments. Maybe adding a return
value could help the user to determine if the string was truncated.

I don't see where the _socket_id variable is assigned. I think there
is probably an issue with the splitting of the patches.

[LCM] The value initializes as SOCKET_ID_ANY when RTE_DEFINE_PER_LCORE().
And updated in eal_thread_set_affinity() for EAL thread and rte_thread_set_affinity() for non-EAL thread.

So the API comment of the function is not placed at the right
place.

A comment "Default buffer size to use with eal_thread_dump_affinity()"
should be added above CPU_STR_LEN. Also, it could be renamed in
RTE_CPU_STR_LEN or RTE_CPU_AFFINITY_STR_LEN.

This is done in a later patches:

"eal: set _lcore_id and _socket_id to (-1) by default"
"eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset"

That's why I said there is probably an issue with the ordering
of the patches as these values are used here but initialized
later in the series.

[PATCH v4 06/17] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

Is it really needed to test that cpusetp is not NULL?

This is strange to see something that cannot happen:
lcore_id == LCORE_ID_ANY is only possible after your patch is 12/17
is added. Maybe it can be reordered to avoid this inconsistency?

Why not always using pthread_self() to get the tid?

I think most of the code could be factorized here. The only difference
(which is hard to see as is as code is not exactly ordered in the same
manner) is that the config is updated in case it's an EAL thread.

Same here. This is the only reason why rte_thread_get_affinity() could
fail. Removing this test would allow to change the API to return void
instead. It will avoid a useless test below in
eal_thread_dump_affinity().

This one could be removed it the (== NULL) test is removed.

On the contrary, I think here returning an error to the user
would be useful so he can knows that the dump is not complete.

[LCM] Accept, we can ignore it and depend on pthread_setaffinity_np() to return failure.

[LCM] You're right, here do some re-order.
The point is to make everything ready before switching the default value to -1.
And we can have the whole function implement in one patch.
It just won't take effect, but won't bring additional risk.

[LCM] The cpusetp is used as destination of memcpy and the function suppose an EAL API.
I don't think it's a good idea to remove the check, do you ?

I know we often have debate on this subject on the list. My personal
opinion is that checking a NULL pointer in these cases is useless
because the user is suppose to give a non-NULL pointer. Returning
an error will result in managing an error for something that cannot
happen.

On the other hand, adding an assert() (or the dpdk equivalent) would
be a good idea.

[PATCH v4 07/17] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

Instead of doing the test each time rte_gettid() is called, why not
having 2 functions:
  rte_init_tid() -> assign the per_lcore variable
  rte_gettid() -> return the per_lcore variable

[LCM] The rte_gettid() mainly used in recursive spinlock.
For non-EAL thread, we don't expect new user thread has to explicit call something.
The purpose to call it in EAL thread init, is to lower down the overhead of the first calling for EAL thread.

Got it. So that's fine like you proposed.

[PATCH v4 08/17] eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

EAL threads use assigned cpuset to set core affinity during startup.
It keeps 1:1 mapping, if no '--lcores' option is used.

I wonder if changing this may have an impact on third-party drivers
that already use a management thread. Before the patch, the init()
function of the external library was called with default affinities,
and now it's called with the affinity from master lcore.

I think it should at least be noticed in the commit log.

Why are you doing this change? (I don't say it's a bad change, but
I don't understand why you are doing it here)

As suggested in the previous patch, I think having rte_init_tid() would
be clearer here.

You are removing a lot of code that was using CPU_ALLOC().
Are we sure that the cpuset_t type is large enough to store all the
CPUs?

It looks the current value of CPU_SETSIZE is 1024 now, but I wonder
if this code was written when this value was lower. Could you check if
it can happen today (maybe with an old libc)? A problem can occur if
the size of cpuset_t is lower that the size of RTE_MAX_LCORE.

[LCM] To be honest, the main purpose is I don't found any reason to have linuxapp and freebsdapp in different init sequence.
I means in linux it init_master before dev_init(), but in freebsd it reverse.
And as the default value of TLS already changes, if dev_init() first and using those TLS, the result will be not in an EAL thread.
But actually they're in the EAL master thread. So I prefer to do the change follows linuxapp sequence.

[LCM] Sorry, I didn't get your [PATCH v4 07/17] comments, probably the mailbox issue.
Do you suggest to have a rte_init_tid() but not do syscall on the first time ?
Any benefit, rte_gettid() looks like more simple and straight forward.

[LCM] I found actually the MACRO is not just for support CPU_ALLOC(), but for linux or freebsd.
In freebsdapp, there's no CPU_ALLOC defined, it use fixed width *cpuset_t*.
In linuxapp, there's CPU_ALLOC defined, it use cpu_set_t* and dynamic CPU_ALLOC(RTE_MAX_LCORE).
But actually RTE_MAX_LCORE < 1024(sizeof(cpu_set_t)). 
After using rte_cpuset_t, there's no additional reason to use CPU_ALLOC only for linuxapp and choose a small but dynamic width.

I agree that's something we should fix.

That makes sense. Is it possible to have this reordering in a separate
patch? The title could be
"eal: standardize init sequence between linux and bsd"

I think the mail was properly sent, you can see it here:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-February/012556.html

Usually, "get" functions return a value and have no side effects.
"init" functions return nothing (or an error code) but have a
side effect which is to initialize an internal state.

I did a quick search on google, and it seems CPU_SETSIZE is 1024
for a long time. So you are right, there is probably no reason to
keep CPU_ALLOC(). As I said in a previous mail, it could be useful
in the future when the number of CPUs will reach 1024, but we have
some time to handle this.

Is the issue caused by a change you've made previously in the patch
series?

Wouldn't it be better to rename the macros in enic instead of doing
#undef?

The documentation off rte_malloc_socket() says:

@param socket
  NUMA socket to allocate memory on. If SOCKET_ID_ANY is used, this
  function will behave the same as rte_malloc().

void *
rte_malloc_socket(const char *type, size_t size, unsigned align, int
socket);


Your patch changes the behavior of rte_malloc() without explaining
why, and the documentation becomes wrong.

Can you explain why you need this change?

Olivier

[LCM] I don't think I change the declaration of rte_malloc_socket().
If socket_arg=SOCKET_ID_ANY, the socket value expect to the return value of malloc_get_numa_socket().
The malloc_get_numa_socket() supposed to return the correct TLS _socket_id.
It works fine for normal cases. But as we change the default value of TLS _socket_id to SOCKET_ID_ANY.
And one lcore can run on multiple cpu, if all cpus in the cpuset are not belongs to one NUMA node, the _socket_id would be SOCKET_ID_ANY.
When user call rte_malloc_socket(SOCKET_ID_ANY), it does provide the same behavior as rte_malloc().
They both will get socket_id from malloc_get_numa_socket(). The addition part is the exception path process.

Sorry, I checked again, you are right.

[PATCH v4 11/17] log: fix the gap to support non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For those non-EAL thread, *_lcore_id* is invalid and probably larger than RTE_MAX_LCORE.
The patch adds the check and allows only EAL thread using EAL per thread log level and log type.
Others shares the global log level.

Wouldn't it be better to change the variable:
static struct log_cur_msg log_cur_msg[RTE_MAX_LCORE];
into a pthread (tls) variable?

With your patch, the log level and log type are not saved for
non-EAL threads. If TLS were used, I think it would work in any case.

[LCM] Good point. But for this patch set, still suppose not involve big impact to EAL thread.
For improve non-EAL thread, we'll have a separate patch set for it.

OK, that's fine

Will it be for 2.0 or later?

[LCM] Will be in 2.1 I suppose, together with the patch for mempool cache to support non-EAL thread.

[PATCH v4 12/17] eal: set _lcore_id and _socket_id to (-1) by default

[Cunming Liang]

For those none EAL thread, *_lcore_id* shall always be LCORE_ID_ANY.
The libraries using *_lcore_id* as index need to take care.
*_socket_id* always be SOCKET_ID_ANY unitl the thread changes the affinity
by rte_thread_set_affinity()

As far as I understand, now a rte_lcore_id() can return LCORE_ID_ANY.
This should be modified in the rte_lcore_id() API comments.

Same for rte_socket_id().

I also wonder if the API of these functions should be modified to
return an int instead of an unsigned as LCORE_ID_ANY is -1.

Olivier

OK

And what about directly defining the following?

#define LCORE_ID_ANY ((unsigned)-1)


It would avoid the casts.

[PATCH v4 13/17] eal: fix recursive spinlock in non-EAL thraed

[Cunming Liang]

In non-EAL thread, lcore_id alrways be LCORE_ID_ANY.
It cann't be used as unique id for recursive spinlock.
Then use rte_gettid() to replace it.

[PATCH v4 14/17] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.

Does it mean that we have no statistics for non-EAL threads?
(same question for rings and timers in the next patches)

[LCM] Yes, it is in this patch set, mainly focus on EAL thread and make sure no running issue on non-EAL thread.
For full non-EAL function, will have other patch set to enhance non-EAL thread as the 2nd step.

[LCM] By perf in unit test, it's almost the same. But haven't measure EAL thread and non-EAL thread share the same mempool.

When you say "unit test", are you talking about mempool tests from
"make test"? Do you have some numbers to share?

[PATCH v4 16/17] ring: add sched_yield to avoid spin forever

[Cunming Liang]

Add a sched_yield() syscall if the thread spins for too long, waiting other thread to finish its operations on the ring.
That gives pre-empted thread a chance to proceed and finish with ring enqnue/dequeue operation.
The purpose is to reduce contention on the ring.

The ring library was designed with the assumption that the code is not
preemptable. The code is lock-less but not wait-less. Actually, if the
code is preempted at a bad moment, it can spin forever until it's
unscheduled.

I wonder if adding a sched_yield() may not penalize the current
implementations that only use one pthread per core? Even if there
is only one pthread in the scheduler queue for this CPU, calling
the scheduler code may cost thousands of cycles.

Also, where does this value "RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP 0x100" comes from?
Why 0x100 is better than 42 or than 10000?

I think it could be good to check if there is a performance impact
with this change, especially where there is a lot of contention on
the ring. If it has an impact, what about adding a compile or runtime
option?

The idea was to have something few times bigger than actual number
active cores in the system, to minimise chance of  a sched_yield() being called
for the case when we have one thread per physical core.  
My thought was that having that many repeats would make such chance neglectable.
Though, right now, I don't have any data to back it up.

Good idea, probably we should make RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP  configuration option
and let say avoid emitting ' sched_yield();' at all, if  RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP == 0.

Yes, it looks like a good compromise.

[PATCH v4 17/17] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

Is this still valid?
In my understanding, rte_lcore_id() was returning the core id or
LCORE_ID_ANY if it's a non-EAL thread.

Are you sure this is required?

I think prev_status.owner can be LCORE_ID_ANY only in config state,
as a timer cannot be scheduled on a non-EAL thread. And there is
already a test that returns -1 if state is CONFIG.

I think the following line:
tim_lcore = rte_get_next_lcore(LCORE_ID_ANY, 0, 1);
Will return the first enabled core.

Maybe using rte_get_master_lcore() is clearer?

Maybe an assert is more visible here. Else, if someone calls
rte_timer_manage() from a non-EAL core, it will just exit
silently.

Maybe adding a comment in rte_timer.h saying that this function
must be called from an EAL core would also help.

[LCM] It's a nice to have one, in case lcore_id got an invalid number.
We can add a assert to replace these two line.

[LCM] Good point, whenever prev_status.owner == LCORE_ID_ANY, the prev_status.state must be RTE_TIMER_CONFIG.
Make sense to me to remove the condition check.

[LCM] It doesn't expect must to be a master lcore.
Any available lcore is fine, so I think make sense to just use the first enabled core.

Yes I agree it does not need to be the master lcore, but until recently
the definition of the master lcore was "the first enabled core".

I was thinking rte_get_master_lcore() is easier to understand
that rte_get_next_lcore(LCORE_ID_ANY, 0, 1). If you still prefer
to keep the second one, can you add a comment saying something like
"non-EAL thread do not run rte_timer_manage(), so schedule the timer
on the first enabled lcore"?

Olivier

Sorry if I missed something, but after reading the mailing list threads
about this subject, I cannot find an explanation about what problem
this series try to solve.

Can you give some details about which use-case require to have multiple
pthreads per cpu? What are the advantage of doing so?

Thanks, indeed I missed it.

[PATCH v5 00/19] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v5 changes:
  reorder some patch and split into addtional two patches
  rte_thread_get_affinity() return type change to avoid
  add RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP into config and by default turn off

v4 changes:
  new patch fixing strnlen() invalid return in 32bit icc [03/17]
  update and add more comments on sched_yield() [16/17]

v3 changes:
  new patch adding sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [16/17]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' [02/17]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v5 01/19] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v5 03/19] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v5 04/19] eal: fix wrong strnlen() return value in 32bit icc

[Cunming Liang]

The problem is that strnlen() here may return invalid value with 32bit icc.
(actually it returns it’s second parameter,e.g: sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)).
It starts to manifest hwen max_len parameter is > 2M and using icc –m32 –O2 (or above).

[PATCH v5 09/19] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v5 15/19] eal: fix recursive spinlock in non-EAL thraed

[Cunming Liang]

In non-EAL thread, lcore_id alrways be LCORE_ID_ANY.
It cann't be used as unique id for recursive spinlock.
Then use rte_gettid() to replace it.

[PATCH v5 16/19] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.
Haven't found significant performance decrease by mempool_perf_test.

[PATCH v5 18/19] ring: add sched_yield to avoid spin forever

[Cunming Liang]

Add a sched_yield() syscall if the thread spins for too long, waiting other thread to finish its operations on the ring.
That gives pre-empted thread a chance to proceed and finish with ring enqnue/dequeue operation.
The purpose is to reduce contention on the ring. By ring_perf_test, it doesn't shows additional perf penalty.

Maybe it's better to use CONFIG_RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP=0 instead?
If I understand well, it has to be set to an integer value to
enable it, am I correct?

[LCM] If RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP=N (no define), by default will use 0. If it's set to 'y'(=1), will issue yield in the most frequent rate.
It also can set as integer to assign any number. All cases works for this configure.
One point is in configure file, just demonstrate the default way to use it.
It can't prevent to use anything unexpected. Except we rule the n & y illegal for this option.
The meaningful value of it can write in the doc.

I also think that it is better avoid 'y' and 'n' (though as you said it would work), but use integers for all cases.
Less confusion for the users.

Also expand "REP" to "REP_COUNT" to make it clear that it's a numeric value.

[PATCH v5 19/19] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

Signed-off-by: Cunming Liang <cunming.liang-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
---
 v5 changes:
   add assert in rte_timer_manage
   remove duplicate check in timer_set_config_state

About ' lcore_id != LCORE_ID_ANY' vs ' lcore_id < RTE_MAX_LCORE'.
I think both ways are valid right now.
Though using ' lcore_id != LCORE_ID_ANY' means, that if user will setup
PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) for dynamically created thread to some value >=  RTE_MAX_LCORE,  
then our code will not work properly.

Doing like this is fine for me, although I don't really agree with
the initial argument: it's should not be allowed for an application
to modify an eal variable (_lcore_id).

[PATCH v6 00/19] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v6 changes:
  rename RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP(_COUNT) and set default to 0
  rollback to use RTE_MAX_LCORE when checking valid lcore_id for EAL thread

v5 changes:
  reorder some patch and split into addtional two patches
  rte_thread_get_affinity() return type change to avoid
  add RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP into config and by default turn off

v4 changes:
  new patch fixing strnlen() invalid return in 32bit icc [03/17]
  update and add more comments on sched_yield() [16/17]

v3 changes:
  new patch adding sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [16/17]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' [02/17]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v6 01/19] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v6 03/19] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v6 04/19] eal: fix wrong strnlen() return value in 32bit icc

[Cunming Liang]

The problem is that strnlen() here may return invalid value with 32bit icc.
(actually it returns it’s second parameter,e.g: sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)).
It starts to manifest hwen max_len parameter is > 2M and using icc –m32 –O2 (or above).

Signed-off-by: Cunming Liang <cunming.liang-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
---
 v5 changes:
   using strlen instead of strnlen.

This is crash prone.  If coremask is passed in without a trailing null pointer,
strlen will return a huge value that can overrun the array.

This seems like a bug in icc, and should be fixed there.

We discussed that in a previous thread:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-February/012552.html

coremask is always a valid nul-terminated string as it comes from
argv[] table.
It is not a memory fragment that is controlled by a user, so I don't
think using strnlen() instead of strlen() would solve any issue.

Olivier

Thats absolutely false,  you can't in any way make that assertion.
eal_parse_common_option is a public API call.  An application can construct its
own string to pass into the parser.  The test applications all use the command
line functions so its not a visible issue from the test apps, but you can't
assume what the test apps do is what everyone will do.  It would be one thing if
you could make the parse_common_option function private, but with the current
layout you can't so you have to be ready for garbage input.

Why do you consider is as public API?
It is declared in private librte_eal header file:
lib/librte_eal/common/eal_options.h
So yes, in theory it can be used by some other functions inside librte_eal.
But it shouldn't be visible outside librte_eal.

I apologize, I misread the Makefile.  I thought I saw that it was symlinked as a
publically accessible header file, but thats not the case.  As such, it should
be ok.

I still don't agree that we should use strnlen(coremask, ARG_MAX).

The API of eal_parse_coremask() requires that a valid string is passed
as an argument, so strlen() is perfectly fine. It's up to the caller to
ensure that the string is valid.

Using strnlen(coremask, ARG_MAX) in eal_parse_coremask() with an
arbitrary length does not protect from having a segfault in case the
string is invalid and the caller's buffer length is < ARG_MAX.

This would still be true even if eal_parse_coremask() is public.

Olivier

[PATCH v6 05/19] eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset

All of these exported functions need to be exported in the version map.  Also, I
don't think its a good idea to simply expose the per lcore cpuset variables.  It
would be far better to create an api around them

[LCM] Thanks for the remind, I haven't taken care of the version map.
The rte_thread_set/get_affinity() are the api around _cpuset, so do you suggest we don't put 'per_lcore__cpuset' into rte_eal_version.map ?
On this point, I agree with you and think we'd better not expose 'per_lcore__socket_id' as well, what do you think ?

Yes, absolutely, you should wrap some API around them, and make them defined
symbols, only inline them if they're going to be in the hot path.

[LCM] _socket_id is wrapped by rte_socket_id() and rte_thread_set_affinity().
rte_socket_id() is defined as inline in rte_lcore.h. So finally two (rte_thread_set/get_affinity()) are added into version map.
All these are updated in v7.

[PATCH v6 07/19] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

 v5 changes:
   refine code of rte_thread_set_affinity()
   change rte_thread_get_affinity() return to void

[PATCH v6 09/19] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

Why is -1 unexpected?  Isn't it reasonable to assume that some memory is
equidistant from all cpu numa nodes?

[LCM] One piece of memory will be whole allocated from one specific NUMA node. But won't be like some part from one and the other part from another.
If no specific NUMA node assigned(SOCKET_ID_ANY/-1), it firstly asks for the current NUMA node where current core belongs to.
'malloc_get_numa_socket()' is called on that time. When the time 1:1 thread/core mapping is assumed and the default value is 0, it always will return a none (-1) value.
Now rte_socket_id() may return -1 in the case the pthread runs on multi-cores which are not belongs to one NUMA node, or in the case _socket_id is not yet assigned and the default value is (-1). So if current _socket_id is -1, then just pick up the first node as the candidate. Probably I shall add more comments for this.

Ok, but doesn't that provide an abnormal bias for node 0?  I was thinking it
might be better to be honest with the application so that it can choose a node
according to its own policy.

[LCM] Personally I like the idea grant application to make the decision.
Either add a simple default configure or defines the more flexible policy of SOCKET_ID_ANY like
1) use the assigned default socket_id; 2) use current socket_id, if fail goto 1);
3) (weight)round robin across the malloc_heaps; 4) use current socket_id, if fail goto 3); and etc.
But on another side, the well-tuned application are usually NUMA friendly. Instead of using SOCKET_ID_ANY, it most often assigned the expected socket_id.
Except getting the real current valid socket_id, The policy won't help on the affinity but mainly helps on the memory utilization.
I guess the worry comes from the case, after lots of memory allocation happens on socket 0, a new memzone_reserve fails when it definitely has to do it on socket 0 as well.
In this case, either changes the default NUMA node or balance the allocation won't solve the problem, but respite it happening.
It's because the explicit assignment allocation (memzone_reserve, malloc with a specified socket_id) may not average balanced.
In reverse, if reserving all necessary memzone first, even malloc fails on default socket, it will try to get allocation from other NUMA node.
I think it's out of the scope of this patch series. On current moment, using the simplest way taking node 0 as default socket_id is not bad.
For more, we can post on separate patch and involved more on the discussion.
Thanks.

[PATCH v6 13/19] log: fix the gap to support non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For those non-EAL thread, *_lcore_id* is invalid and probably larger than RTE_MAX_LCORE.
The patch adds the check and allows only EAL thread using EAL per thread log level and log type.
Others shares the global log level.

[PATCH v6 16/19] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.
Haven't found significant performance decrease by mempool_perf_test.

[PATCH v6 18/19] ring: add sched_yield to avoid spin forever

[Cunming Liang]

Add a sched_yield() syscall if the thread spins for too long, waiting other thread to finish its operations on the ring.
That gives pre-empted thread a chance to proceed and finish with ring enqnue/dequeue operation.
The purpose is to reduce contention on the ring. By ring_perf_test, it doesn't shows additional perf penalty.

[PATCH v6 19/19] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

Maybe a doc update will be required, could you have a look at it?

Another question, is it planned to add some unit tests for this
feature?

Thanks!

[LCM] Do you means add EAL flags check in 'test_eal_flags.c' ?
I can add that, do you suggest to put them in this patch series or in a separate one ?

[PATCH v7 00/19] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v7 changes:
  update EAL version map for new public EAL API
  rollback to use strnlen() passing EAL core option

v6 changes:
  rename RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP(_COUNT) and set default to 0
  rollback to use RTE_MAX_LCORE when checking valid lcore_id for EAL thread

v5 changes:
  reorder some patch and split into addtional two patches
  rte_thread_get_affinity() return type change to avoid
  add RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP into config and by default turn off

v4 changes:
  new patch fixing strnlen() invalid return in 32bit icc [03/17]
  update and add more comments on sched_yield() [16/17]

v3 changes:
  new patch adding sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [16/17]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' [02/17]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

[PATCH v7 01/19] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v7 03/19] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='lcores[@cpus]<,lcores[@cpus]>'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v7 04/19] eal: fix wrong strnlen() return value in 32bit icc

[Cunming Liang]

The problem is that strnlen() here may return invalid value with 32bit icc.
(actually it returns it’s second parameter,e.g: sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)).
It starts to manifest hwen max_len parameter is > 2M and using icc –m32 –O2 (or above).

[LCM] To me, personally I think either strlen() or strnlen(str, EAL_ARG_MAX) is ok.
Neil's point is that 'eal_parse_common_option()' extern as a EAL global function, itself should avoid the dirty input. That's for security programming.
As strlen()  intended to be used only to calculate the size of incoming untrusted data in a buffer of known size.
Your point is strlen() is enough as it only be used in EAL, and so far all input comes from optarg which is trusted data from getopt_long().
Add Thomas in cc list, I'll submit a v8 to make sure in both case there's patch series ready.

As it already check the case, so using strnlen do protect against the unterminated string.

[PATCH v7 09/19] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v7 10/19] eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset

[Cunming Liang]

EAL threads use assigned cpuset to set core affinity during startup.
It keeps 1:1 mapping, if no '--lcores' option is used.

[PATCH v7 12/19] malloc: fix the issue of SOCKET_ID_ANY

[Cunming Liang]

Add check for rte_socket_id(), avoid get unexpected return like (-1).
By using rte_malloc_socket(), socket id is assigned by socket_arg.
If socket_arg set to SOCKET_ID_ANY, it expects to use the socket id to which the current cores belongs.
As the thread may affinity on a cpuset, the cores in the cpuset may belongs to different NUMA nodes.
The value of _socket_id probably be SOCKET_ID_ANY(-1), the case is not expected in origin malloc_get_numa_socket().

[PATCH v7 16/19] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.
Haven't found significant performance decrease by mempool_perf_test.

[PATCH v7 18/19] ring: add sched_yield to avoid spin forever

Add a sched_yield() syscall if the thread spins for too long, waiting other thread to finish its operations on the ring.
That gives pre-empted thread a chance to proceed and finish with ring enqnue/dequeue operation.
The purpose is to reduce contention on the ring. By ring_perf_test, it doesn't shows additional perf penalty.

[PATCH v7 19/19] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

Signed-off-by: Cunming Liang <cunming.liang-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
---
 v6 changes:
   use 'RTE_MAX_LCORE' to check the EAL thread with valid lcore_id.
   use 'LCORE_ID_ANY' for any unspecified lcore_id assignment.

 v5 changes:
   add assert in rte_timer_manage
   remove duplicate check in timer_set_config_state

[PATCH v8 00/19] support multi-pthread per core

[Cunming Liang]

v8 changes:
  keep using strlen for trusted input string

v7 changes:
  update EAL version map for new public EAL API
  rollback to use strnlen() passing EAL core option

v6 changes:
  rename RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP(_COUNT) and set default to 0
  rollback to use RTE_MAX_LCORE when checking valid lcore_id for EAL thread

v5 changes:
  reorder some patch and split into addtional two patches
  rte_thread_get_affinity() return type change to avoid
  add RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP into config and by default turn off

v4 changes:
  new patch fixing strnlen() invalid return in 32bit icc [03/17]
  update and add more comments on sched_yield() [16/17]

v3 changes:
  new patch adding sched_yield() in rte_ring to avoid long spin [16/17]

v2 changes:
  add '<number>-<number>' support for EAL option '--lcores' [02/17]

The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries
to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core.
Two major changes list as below:
- Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n.
  Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core.
  The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment.
  Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case.
- Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread.
  It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user).
  Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review.

  eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config
  eal: fix PAGE_SIZE redefine complaint on freebsd
  eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[PATCH v8 01/19] eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config

[Cunming Liang]

The patch adds 'cpuset' into per-lcore configure 'lcore_config[]',
as the lcore no longer always 1:1 pinning with physical cpu.
The lcore now stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical cpu.

It doesn't change the default behavior of 1:1 mapping, but allows to
affinity the EAL thread to multiple cpus.

[PATCH v8 03/19] eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment

[Cunming Liang]

It supports one new eal long option '--lcores' for EAL thread cpuset assignment.

The format pattern:
	--lcores='<lcores[@cpus]>[<,lcores[@cpus]>...]'
lcores, cpus could be a single digit/range or a group.
'(' and ')' are necessary if it's a group.
If not supply '@cpus', the value of cpus uses the same as lcores.

e.g. '1,2@(5-7),(3-5)@(0,2),(0,6),7-8' means starting 9 EAL thread as below
  lcore 0 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 1 runs on cpuset 0x2 (cpu 1)
  lcore 2 runs on cpuset 0xe0 (cpu 5,6,7)
  lcore 3,4,5 runs on cpuset 0x5 (cpu 0,2)
  lcore 6 runs on cpuset 0x41 (cpu 0,6)
  lcore 7 runs on cpuset 0x80 (cpu 7)
  lcore 8 runs on cpuset 0x100 (cpu 8)

[PATCH v8 04/19] eal: fix wrong strnlen() return value in 32bit icc

[Cunming Liang]

The problem is that strnlen() here may return invalid value with 32bit icc.
(actually it returns it’s second parameter,e.g: sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)).
It starts to manifest hwen max_len parameter is > 2M and using icc –m32 –O2 (or above).

 v8 changes:
   keep using strlen for trusted input string

 v7 changes:
   rollback to use strnlen

 v5 changes:
   using strlen instead of strnlen.

[PATCH v8 07/19] eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API

[Cunming Liang]

The API works for both EAL thread and none EAL thread.
When calling rte_thread_set_affinity, the *_socket_id* and
*_cpuset* of calling thread will be updated if the thread
successful set the cpu affinity.

 v5 changes:
   refine code of rte_thread_set_affinity()
   change rte_thread_get_affinity() return to void

[PATCH v8 09/19] eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid

[Cunming Liang]

The rte_gettid() wraps the linux and freebsd syscall gettid().
It provides a persistent unique thread id for the calling thread.
It will save the unique id in TLS on the first time.

[PATCH v8 12/19] malloc: fix the issue of SOCKET_ID_ANY

[Cunming Liang]

Add check for rte_socket_id(), avoid get unexpected return like (-1).
By using rte_malloc_socket(), socket id is assigned by socket_arg.
If socket_arg set to SOCKET_ID_ANY, it expects to use the socket id to which the current cores belongs.
As the thread may affinity on a cpuset, the cores in the cpuset may belongs to different NUMA nodes.
The value of _socket_id probably be SOCKET_ID_ANY(-1), the case is not expected in origin malloc_get_numa_socket().

[PATCH v8 16/19] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.
Haven't found significant performance decrease by mempool_perf_test.

[PATCH v8 18/19] ring: add sched_yield to avoid spin forever

[Cunming Liang]

Add a sched_yield() syscall if the thread spins for too long, waiting other thread to finish its operations on the ring.
That gives pre-empted thread a chance to proceed and finish with ring enqnue/dequeue operation.
The purpose is to reduce contention on the ring. By ring_perf_test, it doesn't shows additional perf penalty.

[PATCH v8 19/19] timer: add support to non-EAL thread

[Cunming Liang]

Allow to setup timers only for EAL (lcore) threads (__lcore_id < MAX_LCORE_ID).
E.g. – dynamically created thread will be able to reset/stop timer for lcore thread,
but it will be not allowed to setup timer for itself or another non-lcore thread.
rte_timer_manage() for non-lcore thread would simply do nothing and return straightway.

 v6 changes:
   use 'RTE_MAX_LCORE' to check the EAL thread with valid lcore_id.
   use 'LCORE_ID_ANY' for any unspecified lcore_id assignment.

 v5 changes:
   add assert in rte_timer_manage
   remove duplicate check in timer_set_config_state

I tried to fix many english typos. Please consider it during reviews.
Cunming, you'll repeat 10 times "non-EAL threads compute more than none" ;)

Applied, thanks

My main concern in this patchset is about naming. Now lcore means thread
in many places. I would prefer to have a cleanup to use right term at
right place, even if it requires breaking API.

Are we going to deprecate the fresh option -l in favor of --lcores/--threads?

[Liang, Cunming] Thanks, Thomas. I'll take care of it next time. :)

[Liang, Cunming] 'lcore' is limited used as EAL thread.
Comparing to the legacy usage, the difference is such lcore(logical core) may not only affinity to one physical core.
If extending the meaning of 'lcore' a bit wider (as prog_guide doc said, let's consider a logical core stands for an EAL thread), it then makes sense to keep origin APIs.
That helps the existing apps migrate transparently.

[Liang, Cunming] I think so, as '--lcores' already covered '-l' pattern.
Mark it as deprecated, and remove it on next version ?
