[RFC PATCH net-next v5 0/4] Enable virtio_net to act as a backup for a passthru device

[Sridhar Samudrala]

The main motivation for this patch is to enable cloud service providers
to provide an accelerated datapath to virtio-net enabled VMs in a 
transparent manner with no/minimal guest userspace changes. This also
enables hypervisor controlled live migration to be supported with VMs that
have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices.

Patch 1 introduces a new feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP that can be
used by hypervisor to indicate that virtio_net interface should act as
a backup for another device with the same MAC address.

Patch 2 introduces a bypass module that provides a generic interface for 
paravirtual drivers to listen for netdev register/unregister/link change
events from pci ethernet devices with the same MAC and takeover their
datapath. The notifier and event handling code is based on the existing
netvsc implementation. A paravirtual driver can use this module by
registering a set of ops and each instance of the device when it is probed.

Patch 3 extends virtio_net to use alternate datapath when available and
registered. When BACKUP feature is enabled, virtio_net driver creates
an additional 'bypass' netdev that acts as a master device and controls
2 slave devices.  The original virtio_net netdev is registered as
'backup' netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets
registered as 'active' netdev. Both 'bypass' and 'backup' netdevs are
associated with the same 'pci' device.  The user accesses the network
interface via 'bypass' netdev. The 'bypass' netdev chooses 'active' netdev
as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running.

Patch 4 refactors netvsc to use the registration/notification framework
supported by bypass module.

As this patch series is initially focusing on usecases where hypervisor 
fully controls the VM networking and the guest is not expected to directly 
configure any hardware settings, it doesn't expose all the ndo/ethtool ops
that are supported by virtio_net at this time. To support additional usecases,
it should be possible to enable additional ops later by caching the state
in virtio netdev and replaying when the 'active' netdev gets registered. 
 
The hypervisor needs to enable only one datapath at any time so that packets
don't get looped back to the VM over the other datapath. When a VF is
plugged, the virtio datapath link state can be marked as down.
At the time of live migration, the hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device
from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to
initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After
the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter
on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

v5 RFC:
  Based on Jiri's comments, moved the common functionality to a 'bypass'
  module so that the same notifier and event handlers to handle child
  register/unregister/link change events can be shared between virtio_net
  and netvsc.
  Improved error handling based on Siwei's comments.
v4:
- Based on the review comments on the v3 version of the RFC patch and
  Jakub's suggestion for the naming issue with 3 netdev solution,
  proposed 3 netdev in-driver bonding solution for virtio-net.
v3 RFC:
- Introduced 3 netdev model and pointed out a couple of issues with
  that model and proposed 2 netdev model to avoid these issues.
- Removed broadcast/multicast optimization and only use virtio as
  backup path when VF is unplugged.
v2 RFC:
- Changed VIRTIO_NET_F_MASTER to VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP (mst)
- made a small change to the virtio-net xmit path to only use VF datapath
  for unicasts. Broadcasts/multicasts use virtio datapath. This avoids
  east-west broadcasts to go over the PCI link.
- added suppport for the feature bit in qemu

[RFC PATCH net-next v5 2/4] net: Introduce generic bypass module

[Sridhar Samudrala]

This provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to listen
for netdev register/unregister/link change events from pci ethernet
devices with the same MAC and takeover their datapath. The notifier and
event handling code is based on the existing netvsc implementation. A
paravirtual driver can use this module by registering a set of ops and
each instance of the device when it is probed.

[virtio-dev] [RFC PATCH net-next v5 2/4] net: Introduce generic bypass module

[Sridhar Samudrala]

This provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to listen
for netdev register/unregister/link change events from pci ethernet
devices with the same MAC and takeover their datapath. The notifier and
event handling code is based on the existing netvsc implementation. A
paravirtual driver can use this module by registering a set of ops and
each instance of the device when it is probed.

[RFC PATCH net-next v5 3/4] virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available

[Sridhar Samudrala]

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when a VF
netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration
of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team
between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.

The hypervisor needs to enable only one datapath at any time so that
packets don't get looped back to the VM over the other datapath. When a VF
is plugged, the virtio datapath link state can be marked as down. The
hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host
and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to
virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

When BACKUP feature is enabled, an additional netdev(bypass netdev) is
created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower
netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'backup' netdev and a
passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'active' netdev.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

[RFC PATCH net-next v5 3/4] virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available

[Sridhar Samudrala]

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when a VF
netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration
of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team
between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.

The hypervisor needs to enable only one datapath at any time so that
packets don't get looped back to the VM over the other datapath. When a VF
is plugged, the virtio datapath link state can be marked as down. The
hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host
and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to
virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

When BACKUP feature is enabled, an additional netdev(bypass netdev) is
created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower
netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'backup' netdev and a
passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'active' netdev.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

[virtio-dev] [RFC PATCH net-next v5 3/4] virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available

[Sridhar Samudrala]

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when a VF
netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration
of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team
between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.

The hypervisor needs to enable only one datapath at any time so that
packets don't get looped back to the VM over the other datapath. When a VF
is plugged, the virtio datapath link state can be marked as down. The
hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host
and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to
virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

When BACKUP feature is enabled, an additional netdev(bypass netdev) is
created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower
netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'backup' netdev and a
passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'active' netdev.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

Bypass module should check if there is already some other netdev
enslaved and refuse right there.

The active/backup terminology is quite confusing. From the bonding world
that means active is the one which is currently used for tx of the
packets. And it depends on link and other things what netdev is declared
active. However here, it is different. Backup is always the virtio_net
instance even when it is active. Odd. Please change the terminology.
For "active" I suggest to use name "stolen".

*** Also, the 2 slave netdev pointers should be stored in the bypass
module instance, not in the drivers.

Hmm, you have the rx_handler defined in drivers and you register it in
bypass module. It is odd because here you assume that the bypass module
passed "ndev" and rx_handler_data. Also, you don't need advanced
features rx_handler provides.
Instead, just register a common rx_handler defined in the bypass module
and have simple skb_rx callback here (static void).

I think I pointed that out already. Don't use "IFF_MASTER". That is
specific to bonding. As I suggested in the reply to the patch #2, you
should introduce IFF_BYPASS. Also, this flag should be set by the bypass
module. Just create the netdev and do things specific to virtio and then
call to bypass module, pass the netdev so it can do the rest. I think
that the flags, features etc would be also fine to set there.

Why? I don't see such drivers. But to be 100% correct, you should check
the NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED feature in bypass module during VF enslave
and forbid to do so if it is on.

You need to do:
		err = virtnet_bypass_create(vi);
		if (err)
otherwise you ignore err and virtnet_probe would return 0;

If CONFIG_NET_BYPASS is undefined, you will always return -ENOMEM here.

Bypass module should check if there is already some other netdev
enslaved and refuse right there.

The active/backup terminology is quite confusing. From the bonding world
that means active is the one which is currently used for tx of the
packets. And it depends on link and other things what netdev is declared
active. However here, it is different. Backup is always the virtio_net
instance even when it is active. Odd. Please change the terminology.
For "active" I suggest to use name "stolen".

*** Also, the 2 slave netdev pointers should be stored in the bypass
module instance, not in the drivers.

Hmm, you have the rx_handler defined in drivers and you register it in
bypass module. It is odd because here you assume that the bypass module
passed "ndev" and rx_handler_data. Also, you don't need advanced
features rx_handler provides.
Instead, just register a common rx_handler defined in the bypass module
and have simple skb_rx callback here (static void).

I think I pointed that out already. Don't use "IFF_MASTER". That is
specific to bonding. As I suggested in the reply to the patch #2, you
should introduce IFF_BYPASS. Also, this flag should be set by the bypass
module. Just create the netdev and do things specific to virtio and then
call to bypass module, pass the netdev so it can do the rest. I think
that the flags, features etc would be also fine to set there.

Why? I don't see such drivers. But to be 100% correct, you should check
the NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED feature in bypass module during VF enslave
and forbid to do so if it is on.

You need to do:
		err = virtnet_bypass_create(vi);
		if (err)
otherwise you ignore err and virtnet_probe would return 0;

Perhaps "net_bypass_" would be better prefix for this module structs
and functions. No strong opinion though.

We have master/slave upper/lower netdevices. This adds "child". Consider
using some existing names. Not sure if possible without loss of meaning.

Why mutex? Apparently you don't need to sleep while holding a lock.
Simple spinlock would do.

No line-wrap is needed here and in other cases like this.

Don't reuse IFF_SLAVE. That is bonding-specific thing. I know that
netvsc uses it, it is wrong.
Please rather introduce:
IFF_BYPASS for master
and IFF_BYPASS_SLAVE for slaves.

You don't really need this lookup. The kernel knows about the master
device, you can just use netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() to get it.

What you need instead of this is an identification helper
netif_is_bypass_master()
similar to
netif_is_team_master()
netif_is_bridge_master()
etc

No need to allocate this instace here. You can just have is embedded
inside netdevice priv and pass pointer to it here. You can pass the
pointer back to the driver when you call ops as the driver can get priv
back by it.

I would also call it "struct bypass_master" and this function
"bypass_master_register".

It should contain the ops pointer too.

This means the driver registered one netdev twice. That is a bug in
driver, so WARN_ON would be nice here to point that out.

I don't see why you need a list of drivers. What you need is just a list
of instances - bypass masters (probably to call them like that in the
code as well). Well, you can use the common netdevice list for that
purpose with the identification helper I mentioned above. Then you need
no lists and no mutexes/spinlocks.

Perhaps "net_bypass_" would be better prefix for this module structs
and functions. No strong opinion though.

We have master/slave upper/lower netdevices. This adds "child". Consider
using some existing names. Not sure if possible without loss of meaning.

Why mutex? Apparently you don't need to sleep while holding a lock.
Simple spinlock would do.

No line-wrap is needed here and in other cases like this.

Don't reuse IFF_SLAVE. That is bonding-specific thing. I know that
netvsc uses it, it is wrong.
Please rather introduce:
IFF_BYPASS for master
and IFF_BYPASS_SLAVE for slaves.

You don't really need this lookup. The kernel knows about the master
device, you can just use netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() to get it.

What you need instead of this is an identification helper
netif_is_bypass_master()
similar to
netif_is_team_master()
netif_is_bridge_master()
etc

No need to allocate this instace here. You can just have is embedded
inside netdevice priv and pass pointer to it here. You can pass the
pointer back to the driver when you call ops as the driver can get priv
back by it.

I would also call it "struct bypass_master" and this function
"bypass_master_register".

It should contain the ops pointer too.

This means the driver registered one netdev twice. That is a bug in
driver, so WARN_ON would be nice here to point that out.

I don't see why you need a list of drivers. What you need is just a list
of instances - bypass masters (probably to call them like that in the
code as well). Well, you can use the common netdevice list for that
purpose with the identification helper I mentioned above. Then you need
no lists and no mutexes/spinlocks.

Sure. All these bypass ndo_ops can be moved to bypass module and any
paravirtual driver that want to go with 3 netdev model can reuse these functions.

This will work for virtio-net with 3 netdev model, but this check has to be done by netvsc
as its bypass_netdev is same as the backup_netdev.
Will add a flag while registering with the bypass module to indicate if the driver is doing
a 2 netdev or 3 netdev model and based on that flag this check can be done in bypass module
for 3 netdev scenario.

I am not too happy with 'stolen' name. Will see if i can come up with a
better name.

Sure. All these bypass ndo_ops can be moved to bypass module and any
paravirtual driver that want to go with 3 netdev model can reuse these functions.

This will work for virtio-net with 3 netdev model, but this check has to be done by netvsc
as its bypass_netdev is same as the backup_netdev.
Will add a flag while registering with the bypass module to indicate if the driver is doing
a 2 netdev or 3 netdev model and based on that flag this check can be done in bypass module
for 3 netdev scenario.

I am not too happy with 'stolen' name. Will see if i can come up with a
better name.

Will move virtnet_bypass_info struct to bypass.h

Sure. All these bypass ndo_ops can be moved to bypass module and any
paravirtual driver that want to go with 3 netdev model can reuse these functions.

This will work for virtio-net with 3 netdev model, but this check has to be done by netvsc
as its bypass_netdev is same as the backup_netdev.
Will add a flag while registering with the bypass module to indicate if the driver is doing
a 2 netdev or 3 netdev model and based on that flag this check can be done in bypass module
for 3 netdev scenario.

I am not too happy with 'stolen' name. Will see if i can come up with a
better name.

Will move virtnet_bypass_info struct to bypass.h

OK. looks like i should be able to just register instances and pass bypass_netdev,
bypass_ops and a flag to indicate 3/2 netdev model.

Just let me undestand it clearly. What I expect the difference would be
between 2netdev and3 netdev model is this:
2netdev:
  bypass_master
     /
    /
VF_slave

3netdev:
  bypass_master
     /     \
    /       \
VF_slave   backup_slave

Is that correct? If not, how does it look like?

Thanks!

Just let me undestand it clearly. What I expect the difference would be
between 2netdev and3 netdev model is this:
2netdev:
  bypass_master
     /
    /
VF_slave

3netdev:
  bypass_master
     /     \
    /       \
VF_slave   backup_slave

Is that correct? If not, how does it look like?

Thanks!

Looks correct.
VF_slave and backup_slave are the original netdevs and are present in both the models.
In the 3 netdev model, bypass_master netdev is created and VF_slave and backup_slave are
marked as the 2 slaves of this new netdev.

In the 2 netdev model, backup_slave acts as bypass_master and the bypass module doesn't
have access to netdev_priv of the backup_slave.

Once i moved all the ndo_ops of the master netdev to bypass module, i realized that we can
move the create/destroy of the upper netdev also to bypass.c.
That way the changes to virtio_net become very minimal.

With these updates, bypass module now supports both the models by exporting 2 sets of
functions.
3 netdev:
    int bypass_master_create(struct net_device *backup_netdev,
                             struct bypass_master **pbypass_master);
    void bypass_master_destroy(struct bypass_master *bypass_master);


2 netdev:
    int bypass_master_register(struct net_device *backup_netdev, struct bypass_ops *ops,
                               struct bypass_master **pbypass_master);
    void bypass_master_unregister(struct bypass_master *bypass_master);

Will send the next revision in a day or two.

VF_slave and backup_slave are the original netdevs and are present in both the models.
In the 3 netdev model, bypass_master netdev is created and VF_slave and backup_slave are
marked as the 2 slaves of this new netdev.

In the 2 netdev model, backup_slave acts as bypass_master and the bypass module doesn't

Once i moved all the ndo_ops of the master netdev to bypass module, i realized that we can

That way the changes to virtio_net become very minimal.

With these updates, bypass module now supports both the models by exporting 2 sets of

    int bypass_master_create(struct net_device *backup_netdev,
                             struct bypass_master **pbypass_master);
    void bypass_master_destroy(struct bypass_master *bypass_master);


2 netdev:
    int bypass_master_register(struct net_device *backup_netdev, struct bypass_ops *ops,
                               struct bypass_master **pbypass_master);

To be exact, 2 netdev model with netvsc looks like this.

     netvsc_netdev
       /
      /
  VF_slave

With virtio_net, 3 netdev model

   bypass_netdev
       /     \
      /       \
VF_slave   virtio_net netdev

Could you also mark the original netdev which is there now? is it
bypass_netdev or virtio_net_netdev ?

That does not make sense.
1) You diverge from the behaviour of the netvsc, where the original
   netdev is a master of the VF
2) If the original netdev is a slave, you cannot have any IP address
   configured on it (well you could, but the rx_handler would eat every
   incoming packet). So you will break the user bacause he would have to
   move the configuration to the new master device.
This only makes sense that the original netdev becomes the master for both
netvsc and virtio_net.

That does not make sense.
1) You diverge from the behaviour of the netvsc, where the original
   netdev is a master of the VF
2) If the original netdev is a slave, you cannot have any IP address
   configured on it (well you could, but the rx_handler would eat every
   incoming packet). So you will break the user bacause he would have to
   move the configuration to the new master device.
This only makes sense that the original netdev becomes the master for both
netvsc and virtio_net.

That's exactly the point why I need to hide the lower netdev slaves
and trying the align the naming of the bypass with where IP was
configured on the original netdev. The current 3-netdev model is not
"transparent" by any means.

Forgot to mention that bypass_netdev takes over the name of the original 
netdev and
virtio_net netdev will get the backup name.
So the userspace network configuration doesn't need to change.

Forgot to mention that bypass_netdev takes over the name of the original 
netdev and
virtio_net netdev will get the backup name.
So the userspace network configuration doesn't need to change.

bypass_netdev also is associated with the same pci device as the original virtio_net
netdev via SET_NETDEV_DEV().  Also, we added ndo_get_phys_port_name() to virtio_net
that will return _bkup when BACKUP feature is enabled.

So for ex: if virtio_net inteface was getting 'ens12' as the name assigned by udev
without BACKUP feature,  when BACKUP feature is enabled,  the  bypass_netdev will be
named 'ens12' and the original virtio_net will get named as ens12n_bkup.

bypass_netdev also is associated with the same pci device as the original virtio_net
netdev via SET_NETDEV_DEV().  Also, we added ndo_get_phys_port_name() to virtio_net
that will return _bkup when BACKUP feature is enabled.

So for ex: if virtio_net inteface was getting 'ens12' as the name assigned by udev
without BACKUP feature,  when BACKUP feature is enabled,  the  bypass_netdev will be
named 'ens12' and the original virtio_net will get named as ens12n_bkup.

Got it.

I don't like the bypass_master to look differently in netvsc and
virtio_net :/ The best would be to convert netvsc to 3 netdev model and
treat them the same. The more I think about it, the more the 2 netdev
model feels wrong.
