[PATCH] irqchip/gicv3-its: Decrease page size when needed

[PATCH] irqchip/gicv3-its: Decrease page size when needed

[Minghuan Lian]

The default page size of ITS table has been changed to 64KB,
but for some platforms the real size of allocate memory which
calculated by DEVBITS of register GITS_TYPER may smaller than
default size. In this case, psz must be decreased, otherwise,
the wrong page number will cause kernel hang.

[PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

[Minghuan Lian]

SMMU of some platforms can only isolate limited device ID.
This may require that all PCI devices share the same ITS
device with the fixed device ID. The patch adds function
arch_msi_share_devid_update used for these platforms to update
the fixed device ID and maximum MSI interrupts number.

RE: [PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

[Minghuan.Lian]

Hi Varun,

Freescale LS2085A SMMU uses in hit/miss mechanism for the concatenation {tbu number,stream_id}. This concatenation is then assigned to a context bank that determines the translation type and form. The Isolation Context Identifier ICID is the main field of stream_id which will be used to hit ITS device. We may look ICID as ITS device ID and PCI device ID. But there are only 64 ICIDs  0 - 63.  If using default PCI_DEVID(bus, devfn)  ((((u16)(bus)) << 8) | (devfn)), PCI device(bus >=1) ) ID will larger than 63.  SMMU will miss this translation.
In addition, because the ICID number  is only 64, all the PCIe device will use the same ICID and share the same ITS device.

Thanks,
Minghuan

RE: [PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

[Varun Sethi]

Hi Minghuan,
Yes, deviceid=stream id (i.e. ICID + other bits). I am not sure if TBU ID would also be forwarded as a part of stream id to GIC. My understanding is that TBU ID is forwarded (as a part of the stream ID) to the TCU in case of a TBU translation miss. In case of the LS2085 PCIe controller you would have to setup the PCIe device ID to stream ID translation table. We may have to restrict the number of entries based on the available number of contexts.

Regards
Varun

[PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

[Varun Sethi]

Hi Minghuan,
Yes, deviceid=stream id (i.e. ICID + other bits). I am not sure if TBU ID would also be forwarded as a part of stream id to GIC. My understanding is that TBU ID is forwarded (as a part of the stream ID) to the TCU in case of a TBU translation miss. In case of the LS2085 PCIe controller you would have to setup the PCIe device ID to stream ID translation table. We may have to restrict the number of entries based on the available number of contexts.

Regards
Varun

Unfortunately, I'm having a really hard time parsing this thread (some parts
of it simply don't make sense; others use non-architectural terms and
overall I don't get a feeling for the problem).

Please could you explain your system design step by step so that I can
understand (a) what you've built and (b) why the current design of Linux is
causing you problems?

Sorry if I'm just being thick, but it's important that we get this right.

Will

I'll try to summarize some key points about the system...

System is using a single SMMU-500 (1 TCU, 6 TBUs) and GICv3-ITS.  There are
PCI, fsl-mc, and platform devices that do DMA.  Devices on the PCI and
fsl-mc bus generate message interrupts.

The flow a message interrupt would take is this:

    --------------
      PCI device
    --------------
          |
          | pcidevid + MSI msg
          |
          V
    --------------
    PCI controller
      pcidevid ->
      streamID
      mapping
    --------------
          |
          | streamID + MSI msg
          |
          V
    --------------
        SMMU
    --------------
          |
          | streamID + MSI msg
          |
          V
    --------------
       CCN-504 (Dickens)
    --------------
          |
          | streamID + MSI msg
          |
          V
    --------------
      GICv3 ITS    streamID == ITS deviceID
    --------------

So, the way things work (at least initially) is that each PCI device maps
to a single streamID, and thus each device has a separate ITT in 
the ITS.  So, things should be cool.

However, there is an improvement we envision as possible due to 
the limited number of SMMU contexts (i.e. 64).  If there are
64 SMMU context registers it means that there is a max of
64 software contexts where things can be isolated.  But, say I have
an SRIOV card with 64 VFs, and I want to assign 8 of the VFs
to a KVM VM.  Those 8 PCI devices could share the same
streamID/ITS-device-ID since they all share the same isolation
context.

What would be nice is at the time the 8 VFS are being added
to the IOMMU domain is for the pcidevid -> streamID mapping
table to be updated dynamically.  It simply lets us make
more efficient use of the limited streamIDs we have.

I think it is this improvement that Minghuan had in mind
in this patch.

Thanks,
Stuart

i.e. we set up a common stream id for PCIe devices while attaching them to a domain. This would require traversal of PCIe bus topology in order to determine the dma alias during attach_device.
In case of a transparent host bridge we would have to consider the device id corresponding to the bridge.

I think it would be better if we can statically restrict number of permissible stream Ids per PCIe controller. We can setup the stream ID to device ID mapping during device probe itself (add_device or of_xlate)

For the ITS setup, we would have to translate the device id to the associated stream Id. What would happen in case of the transparent host bridge, all the devices behind the bridge would share the same stream ID?

i.e. we set up a common stream id for PCIe devices while attaching them to a domain. This would require traversal of PCIe bus topology in order to determine the dma alias during attach_device.
In case of a transparent host bridge we would have to consider the device id corresponding to the bridge.

I think it would be better if we can statically restrict number of permissible stream Ids per PCIe controller. We can setup the stream ID to device ID mapping during device probe itself (add_device or of_xlate)

For the ITS setup, we would have to translate the device id to the associated stream Id. What would happen in case of the transparent host bridge, all the devices behind the bridge would share the same stream ID?

Ah cool, so you have multiple buses sharing a single SMMU? That's going to
necessitate some ID remapping in the device-tree. Perhaps you could comment
on Mark Rutland's proposal if it does/doesn't work for you:

The streamID here as the same as the one coming out of the SMMU, right?
(just trying to out why you have the CCN-504 in the picture).

Ok, but in this case it should be possible to use a single context bank for
all of the VF streamIDs by configuring the appropriate SMR, no? Wouldn't
that sort of thing be preferable to dynamic StreamID assignment? It would
certainly make life easier for the MSIs.

Yes, that would happen when the all the VFs are attached to the same domain. But it would be an issue if we have to attach devices to different domains.

Yes, but there are limited SMRs.  In our case there are only
128 SMRs in SMMU-500 and we have potentially way more masters than
that.

It would be preferable, but given only 128 total stream IDS and
64 context registers it's potentially an issue.  On our LS2085 SoC it is
PCI and the fsl-mc bus (see description here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/5/795) that potentially have way
more masters than streamIDS. So, for those busses we would essentially
view a streamID as a "context ID"-- each SMR is associated with
1 context bank register.

For PCI we have a programmable "PCI req ID"-to-"stream ID"
mapping table in the PCI controller that is dynamically
programmable.

Looking at it like that means that we could have
any number of masters but only 64 "contexts"
and since the masters all all programmable it's
seems feasbile to envision doing some bus/vendor
specific set up when a device is added to an
IOMMU domain.   One thing that would need to be conveyed
to the SMMU driver if doing dynamic streamID setup
is what streamIDs are available to be used.

Right, but you still only have 64 context banks at the end of the day, so do
you really anticipate having more than 128 masters concurrently using the
SMMU? If so, then we have devices sharing context banks so we could consider
reusing SMRs across masters, but historically that's not been something that
we've managed to solve.

We're really facing two conflicting requirements: in order to minimize
SMR usage, we want to alias multiple ReqIDs to a single StreamID, but in
order to efficiently deal with MSIs, we want to see discrete DeviceIDs
(the actual ReqIDs). I don't easily see how we reconcile the two.

We can deal with the aliasing, provided that we extend the level of
quirkiness that pci_for_each_dma_alias can deal with. But that doesn't
solve any form of hotplug/SR-IOV behaviour.

Somehow, we're going to end-up with grossly oversized ITTs, just to
accommodate for the fact that we have no idea how many MSIs we're going
to end-up needing. I'm not thrilled with that prospect.

How can we avoid that in the face of hotplug?

And what are we really worried about regarding over-sized ITTs...bytes
of memory saved?

A fundamental thing built into the IOMMU subsystem in Linux is
representing iommu groups that can represent things like
multiple PCI devices that for hardware reasons cannot
be isolated (and the example I've seen given relates to 
devices behind PCI bridges).

So, I think the thing we are facing here is that while the
IOMMU subsystem has accounted for reprsenting the isolation
characteristics of a system with iommu groups, there is
no corresponding "msi group" concept.

In the SMMU/GIC-500-ITS world the iommu isolation
ID (the stream ID) and the GIC-ITS device ID are in
fact the same ID.

Is there some way we could sanely correlate IOMMU group creation
(which establishes isolation granularity) with the creation
of an ITT for the GIC-ITS?

(I don't have a good feel for how device IDs work on x86,
I know there is an interrupt remapping table in the
x86 IOMMUs that is distinct from the memory isolation
page tables)

Fortunately, hotplug is not always synonymous of aliasing. The ITS is
built around the hypothesis that aliasing doesn't happen, and that you
know upfront how many LPIs the device will be allowed to generate.

> And what are we really worried about regarding over-sized ITTs...bytes
> of memory saved?

That's one thing, yes. But more fundamentally, how do you size your MSI
capacity for a single alias? Do you evenly split your LPI space among
all possible aliases? Assuming 64 aliases and 16 bits of interrupt ID
space, you end up with 10 bit per alias. Is that always enough? Or do
you need something more fine-grained?

The DeviceID is the "MSI group" you mention. This is what provides
isolation at the ITS level.

The problem you have is that your ITT already exists before you start
"hotpluging" new devices. Take the following (made up) example:

System boots, device X is discovered, claims 64 MSIs. An ITT for device
X is allocated, and sized for 64 LPIs. SR-IOV kick is, creates a new X'
function that is aliased to X, claiming another 64 MSIs. Fail.

What do we do here? The ITT is live (X is generating interrupts), and
there is no provision to resize it (I've come up with a horrible
scheme, but that could fail as well). The only sane option would be to
guess how many MSIs a given alias could possibly use. How wrong is this
guess going to be?

The problem we have is that IOMMU groups are dynamic, while ITT
allocation is completely static for a given DeviceID. The architecture
doesn't give you any mechanism to resize it, and I have the ugly
feeling that static allocation of the ID space to aliases is too
rigid...

[varun] Can you please elaborate on "extending the quirkiness of pci_for_each_dma_alias". How do you see the case for transparent host bridege being handled? We would see a device ID corresponding to the host bridge for masters behind that bridge.

[varun] One way would be to restrict the number of stream Ids(device Ids) per PCIe controller. In our scheme we have a device id -> stream ID translation table, we can restrict the number of entries in the table. This would restrict number of virtual functions.

The PCI code already has code to deal with aliases, and can deal with
them in a number of cases.

At the moment, this aliasing code can only deal with aliases that belong
to the same PCI bus (or aliasing with the bus itself). Given the way the
problem has been described, I understand that you can have devices
sitting on different buses that will end up with the same DeviceID. This
is where expanding the "quirkiness" of pci_for_each_dma_alias comes into
play. You need to teach it about this kind of topology.

Well, it depends how you look at it. How necessary is this isolation,
since we've already established that you couldn't distinguish between
these devices at the IOMMU level?

Do you mean reserving a number of StreamIDs per PCIe controller, and
letting virtual functions use these spare StreamIDs? This would indeed
be more restrictive. But more importantly, who is going to be in charge
of this mapping/allocation?

[varun] Agreed, in our case the PCIe controller maintains a stream ID to device ID  translation table. So, we can actually avoid this problem by setting up unique stream IDs across PCIe controllers. We would need a layer to allow translation from device id to stream ID.

Well, I think that's the crux of the issue here. If IOMMU groups are also
needed to relay constraints to the IRQ subsystem, then perhaps we need a
more general notion of device grouping and ID transformations between
the different levels of group hierarchy.

I agree.  Have been thinking about it over the last few days...is is
a matter of renaming what we currently call an "IOMMU group"?   Or,
do we really need to separate general 'device grouping' and 'iommu groups'
in the Linux kernel?

It depends. Right now, the IOMMU drivers are responsible for creating the
IOMMU groups and I don't think that's general enough for what we need in
practice. If we move the group creation to be done as part of the bus, then
that would be the first step in having an abstraction that could be re-used
by the interrupt code imo. It would also move us a step closer to having
a generic device group description for platform-bus devices (i.e. as part
of the devicetree).

I suspect the only way we'll really find out is by prototyping stuff and
sending patches.

No, they would end-up sharing an Interrupt Translation Table (ITT),
Basically the equivalent of your page IOMMU page tables, but for
interrupts. Basically, all the devices in this group would have their
own set of interrupts, but would also be able to spoof interrupts for
each others. Probably not a big deal isolation wise, but problematic
from an allocation point of view (given the current way the ITS driver
is architected).

For reference see Alex Williamson's description of IOMMU
isolation scenarios in Documentation/vfio.txt:

   ...
   This isolation is not always at the granularity of a single device
   though.  Even when an IOMMU is capable of this, properties of devices,
   interconnects, and IOMMU topologies can each reduce this isolation.
   For instance, an individual device may be part of a larger multi-
   function enclosure.  While the IOMMU may be able to distinguish
   between devices within the enclosure, the enclosure may not require
   transactions between devices to reach the IOMMU.  Examples of this
   could be anything from a multi-function PCI device with backdoors
   between functions to a non-PCI-ACS (Access Control Services) capable
   bridge allowing redirection without reaching the IOMMU.  Topology
   can also play a factor in terms of hiding devices.  A PCIe-to-PCI
   bridge masks the devices behind it, making transaction appear as if
   from the bridge itself.  Obviously IOMMU design plays a major factor
   as well.

   Therefore, while for the most part an IOMMU may have device level
   granularity, any system is susceptible to reduced granularity.  The
   IOMMU API therefore supports a notion of IOMMU groups.  A group is
   a set of devices which is isolatable from all other devices in the
   system.  Groups are therefore the unit of ownership used by VFIO.
   ...

The isolation granularity issues he raises are going to impact how
we deal with MSIs with GIC ITS because again, isolation ID and 
GIC ITS device ID are the same.

For reference see Alex Williamson's description of IOMMU
isolation scenarios in Documentation/vfio.txt:

   ...
   This isolation is not always at the granularity of a single device
   though.  Even when an IOMMU is capable of this, properties of devices,
   interconnects, and IOMMU topologies can each reduce this isolation.
   For instance, an individual device may be part of a larger multi-
   function enclosure.  While the IOMMU may be able to distinguish
   between devices within the enclosure, the enclosure may not require
   transactions between devices to reach the IOMMU.  Examples of this
   could be anything from a multi-function PCI device with backdoors
   between functions to a non-PCI-ACS (Access Control Services) capable
   bridge allowing redirection without reaching the IOMMU.  Topology
   can also play a factor in terms of hiding devices.  A PCIe-to-PCI
   bridge masks the devices behind it, making transaction appear as if
   from the bridge itself.  Obviously IOMMU design plays a major factor
   as well.

   Therefore, while for the most part an IOMMU may have device level
   granularity, any system is susceptible to reduced granularity.  The
   IOMMU API therefore supports a notion of IOMMU groups.  A group is
   a set of devices which is isolatable from all other devices in the
   system.  Groups are therefore the unit of ownership used by VFIO.
   ...

The isolation granularity issues he raises are going to impact how
we deal with MSIs with GIC ITS because again, isolation ID and 
GIC ITS device ID are the same.

Yes.  We anticiapte quite possibly quite a few more than 128 masters sharing
the 64 context banks.

But isn't that what iommu groups are all about?... multiple masters that share
an IOMMU context because of the isolation characteristics of the hardware
like PCI devices behind a PCI bridge.   All the devices might be in
one iommu group.

What is not solved?

But isn't that what iommu groups are all about?... multiple masters that share
an IOMMU context because of the isolation characteristics of the hardware
like PCI devices behind a PCI bridge.   All the devices might be in
one iommu group.

What is not solved?

[varun]  On thing to note here is that we would also be hooking up DMA API with the SMMU driver. In that case we would typically require one context per device. We would have to restrict the number of available stream IDs.

NAK. On top of being ugly as sin, this breaks any form of multiplatform

[Minghuan]  The current ITS MSI will create an individual ITS device for each PCIe device, and use PCI_DEVID as ITS dev_id
However, out platform only supports  ITS dev_id 0 -63.  A normal PCIe DEVID of 0000:01:00.0 is 256 bigger than 63.
Besides, because of the limited dev_id number, all the PCIe device will share the same ITS dev. Our platform provides a hardware module LUT to map PCI DEVID to ITS dev_id.  So, when creating ITS device, we need to update dev_id and the nvesc.
I may change pci_for_each_dma_alias to add a new flag to use alias_bus and alias_devfn. 
But I also need to update nvesc which should contains all the PCI device MSI/MSIX nvesc and PCIe PME, aerdrv interrupts.
The main difference is that we need a ITS device to service multiple PCIe devices.
Could you give me some suggestions how to implement this requirement.

[Minghuan] The alias will use dma_alias_devfn, but it does not contains alias_bus.
I need to translate PCI_DEVID to a fixed ID.

[Minghuan]  The current ITS MSI will create an individual ITS device for each PCIe device, and use PCI_DEVID as ITS dev_id
However, out platform only supports  ITS dev_id 0 -63.  A normal PCIe DEVID of 0000:01:00.0 is 256 bigger than 63.
Besides, because of the limited dev_id number, all the PCIe device will share the same ITS dev. Our platform provides a hardware module LUT to map PCI DEVID to ITS dev_id.  So, when creating ITS device, we need to update dev_id and the nvesc.
I may change pci_for_each_dma_alias to add a new flag to use alias_bus and alias_devfn. 
But I also need to update nvesc which should contains all the PCI device MSI/MSIX nvesc and PCIe PME, aerdrv interrupts.
The main difference is that we need a ITS device to service multiple PCIe devices.
Could you give me some suggestions how to implement this requirement.

[Minghuan] The alias will use dma_alias_devfn, but it does not contains alias_bus.
I need to translate PCI_DEVID to a fixed ID.

It you take the time to read the code in its_msi_prepare(), you'll
quickly notice that we already handle aliasing of multiple PCI devices
to a single DeviceID. Once you have the aliasing taken care of in
pci_for_each_dma_alias, the ITS code will automatically adjust the
number of vectors (using its_get_pci_alias as a callback from
pci_for_each_dma_alias).

Then add another flag to deal with that. Your hardware is "creative"
(some might even argue it is broken), so deal with the creativity as a
quirk, which has no business in the ITS driver (or any other driver).

RE: [PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

[Minghuan.Lian]

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your comments.
I still have a couple of questions,
1. If I add a new flag and all PCI DEVID will be replaced with a fixed ID,  does SMMU can work correctly?
For example, If we insert an  Ethernet card with two ports, a port is assigned to kvm1, another port is assigned to kvm2. In this case, we should use one or two fixed ID?
2. If using PCIe device with SR-IOV, the driver will dynamically create some new PCIe devices. At this time, ITS device may has been created for PF.  So we must previously  create ITS device with a large enough nvesc.
However its_get_pci_alias: dev_alias->count += its_pci_msi_vec_count(dev_alias->pdev) only calculate with the exiting PCIe device, could not meet this requirement.
How to change dev_alias->count?  

Thanks,
Minghuan

[PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Support share device ID

Hi Marc,

For example, If we insert an  Ethernet card with two ports, a port is assigned to kvm1, another port is assigned to kvm2. In this case, we should use one or two fixed ID?

How to change dev_alias->count?

That completely depends on what the SMMU sees. If it sees the same ID,
you won't be able to perform any form of isolation. But I have no idea
how your hardware works, so maybe explaining in details how this is
constructed will help.

You cannot change this dynamically. The ITT for this DeviceID will have
been allocated, and the ITS is getting live traffic. No way you're going
to resize it.

You will probable have to add some extra quirks to force the allocation
of a much larger ITT by lying about the nvec somehow. Or forget about
SRIOV and hotplug.

We would need separate stream IDs and iommu groups for endpoints, to assign them to different VMs. We would have to set up the stream ID to device ID translation table during device probe, via add_device callback. While setting the device id for the interrupt translation table, you would have to get streamID corresponding to a given PCIe device ID. Again, I don't think that we should consider the TBUID, while setting the ITT device id.

[PATCH 2/2] pci/layerscape: Add LS2085A MSI support

[Minghuan Lian]

Freescale LS2085A uses GICv3 ITS to provide MSI functionality,
but it only supports 64 isolation context identifiers. So, all
the PCIe devices inserted to the same PCIe controller will share
the fixed ICID.

This doesn't make sense to me. psz is the page size that your HW
supports, not necessarily something that you can actually change as you
wish (some, if not most, ITSs only support one page size). Also, you
now have to psz go via unsupported page sizes (like 32K and 8K), and
you may end up programming junk in the registers. Good job! ;-)

So making it vary to accommodate your allocation size is slightly
doomed. If your allocation is smaller than your ITS page size, it is
the allocation that has to be bumped up, not the page size that has to
be reduced.

So overall, this is a NAK. Please come up with a better fix.

Thanks,

	M.
