* [PATCH] PCI: hv: support reporting serial number as slot information @ 2018-06-12 16:40 Stephen Hemminger 2018-07-04 16:08 ` Lorenzo Pieralisi 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Stephen Hemminger @ 2018-06-12 16:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: bhelgaas, kys; +Cc: linux-pci, Stephen Hemminger The Hyper-V host API for PCI provides a unique "serial number" which can be used as the basis for sysfs PCI slot table. This can be useful for cases where userspace wants to find the PCI device based on serial number. When an SR-IOV NIC is added, the host sends an attach message with a serial number. The kernel doesn't use the serial number, but it is useful when doing the same thing in a userspace driver such as the DPDK. By having /sys/bus/pci/slots/N it provides a direct way to find the matching PCI device. There may be some cases where the serial number is not unique such as when using GPU's. But the PCI slot infrastructure will handle that. This also shortens the network device names generated by systemd/udev. The new names use slot (ens2) rather than PCI address (enP2p0s2).

Hi Stephen, I wanted to apply this patch but wanted to make sure all HV maintainers are in agreement first since this looks like a significant user-space ABI change. I would also ask Bjorn's opinion on this since he has more insights into the slot interface history.

The potential issues are more about how that new API will cause systemd/udev to respond. It makes Hyper-V look more like KVM and that is generally a good thing. The systemd developers should like this change, but it may cause some users to have problems since in general the existing udev model does not do persistent names on PCI devices. But the PCI device for networking is only used as a VF device paired with a PV device (netvsc). All network configuration is done on the PV device; the name of the VF device doesn't really matter. The purpose of this was to take incremental steps to use the serial number for matching PV and VF devices (rather than by MAC address). There is ongoing work in DPDK (in userspace) where being able to find a PCI device by serial number would be useful. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I confess I'm not super familiar with what the slot infrastructure gives us, and I'm trying to figure out if it's the right way to do this. Would a file directly in the device directory, e.g., /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/serial be a possibility? There is an optional PCIe Device Serial Number capability and also an optional serial number item in the VPD. We don't support either in the core yet, but maybe they could all be exposed similarly? Or is there something you need from the slot infrastructure in addition to the serial number exposure? You mentioned that this patch is along the lines of what KVM does. Can you connect the dots a little bit for me as far as how this is implemented for KVM? I don't see KVM-related calls to pci_create_slot() or pci_hp_register(). > > There may be some cases where the serial number is not unique such > > as when using GPU's.

Today, a VF device shows up as: $ lspci -n 0002:00:02.0 0200: 15b3:1014 (rev 80) And therefore is named: enP2p0s2 based on these rules: See: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/udev/udev-builtin-n= et_id.c#L20 * Two character prefixes based on the type of interface: * en =E2=80=94 Ethernet * sl =E2=80=94 serial line IP (slip) * wl =E2=80=94 wlan * ww =E2=80=94 wwan * * Type of names: * o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * =E2=80=94 on-board device index = number * s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * =E2=80=94 hotplug slot index num= ber * x<MAC> =E2=80=94 MAC address * [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * =E2=80=94 PCI geographical locat= ion I looked into several other options: - put serial number into the device index number On KVM, the ACPI emulation provides PCI slot information so that is why the devices are named "ens3". I looked into several other options (none of which worked well): * provide sysfs /index file but that wants to be handled by smbios * use VPD serial number but that is a GUID not an integer * full hotplug (but Hyper-V doesn't support real PCI hotplug) * new device_attribute serial, but that is not easy to hook into existing code, and udev won't know about it. Open to any ideas about how to best represent this. Thanks, Stephen PS: it is nuisance that when the PCI support was moved to drivers/pci/cont= rollers it was not done in a way that git correctly tracked the rename.

When you say "to help" it means "to fix" or to bring it on a par with KVM ? This change is Hyper-V specific so I am not really against it, still, I am not a big fan of making a serial number look like a slot number to please udev either. > Today, a VF device shows up as: > $ lspci -n > 0002:00:02.0 0200: 15b3:1014 (rev 80) > > > And therefore is named: enP2p0s2 based on these rules: > See: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c#L20 > > * Two character prefixes based on the type of interface: > * en — Ethernet > * sl — serial line IP (slip) > * wl — wlan > * ww — wwan > * > * Type of names: > > * o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] > * — on-board device index number > * s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] > * — hotplug slot index number > * x<MAC> — MAC address > * [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] > * — PCI geographical location > > I looked into several other options: > - put serial number into the device index number > > > On KVM, the ACPI emulation provides PCI slot information so that is why > the devices are named "ens3". > > I looked into several other options (none of which worked well): > * provide sysfs /index file but that wants to be handled by smbios > * use VPD serial number but that is a GUID not an integer > * full hotplug (but Hyper-V doesn't support real PCI hotplug) > * new device_attribute serial, but that is not easy to hook > into existing code, and udev won't know about it. > > Open to any ideas about how to best represent this. By trawling PCI patchwork I found this series that was not merged, maybe it is a starting point to implement the latter suggestion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/264610/ udev won't know about it but as I say above that's not a bug we are fixing either AFAICS. At the end of the day it is Hyper-V maintainers call, since that's Hyper-V specific; exposing the serial attribute is something we can do regardless, depending on what Bjorn thinks about it and you can use it to provide userspace with the information you need. > Thanks, > Stephen > > > > PS: it is nuisance that when the PCI support was moved to > drivers/pci/controllers it was not done in a way that git correctly > tracked the rename.

It provides udev with shorter more concise value that gives better result. Still would like something persistent and repeatable but it doesn't seem to be guaranteed by the host. >=20 > > Today, a VF device shows up as: > > $ lspci -n > > 0002:00:02.0 0200: 15b3:1014 (rev 80) > >=20 > >=20 > > And therefore is named: enP2p0s2 based on these rules: > > See: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/udev/udev-built= in-net_id.c#L20 > >=20 > > * Two character prefixes based on the type of interface: > > * en =E2=80=94 Ethernet > > * sl =E2=80=94 serial line IP (slip) > > * wl =E2=80=94 wlan > > * ww =E2=80=94 wwan > > * > > * Type of names: > >=20 > > * o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] > > * =E2=80=94 on-board device in= dex number > > * s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] > > * =E2=80=94 hotplug slot index= number > > * x<MAC> =E2=80=94 MAC address > > * [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port= >] > > * =E2=80=94 PCI geographical l= ocation > >=20 > > I looked into several other options: > > - put serial number into the device index number > >=20 > >=20 > > On KVM, the ACPI emulation provides PCI slot information so that is why > > the devices are named "ens3". > >=20 > > I looked into several other options (none of which worked well): > > * provide sysfs /index file but that wants to be handled by smbios > > * use VPD serial number but that is a GUID not an integer > > * full hotplug (but Hyper-V doesn't support real PCI hotplug) > > * new device_attribute serial, but that is not easy to hook > > into existing code, and udev won't know about it. > >=20 > > Open to any ideas about how to best represent this. =20 >=20 > By trawling PCI patchwork I found this series that was not merged, maybe > it is a starting point to implement the latter suggestion: >=20 > https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/264610/ >=20 > udev won't know about it but as I say above that's not a bug > we are fixing either AFAICS. Right this isn't a bug. The PCIe Device serial number (in patchwork) has a different meaning and can't be used. The PCIe device serial number comes from device config space and the serial number (i.e it is a property of the board). The value this patch is addressing is assigned by the host (similar to ACPI= slots). On latest kernels (now that PCI domain is 32 bits), the SR-IOV VF device is even more ugly (enP37727p0s2) that was one of the motivations for this p= atch. With the patch udev will generate ens2. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Therefore all the commit history was broken :-( Oooh, that's my fault, and I'm really sorry about that. For future reference, what *should* I have done? Both the original patch [1] and 6e0832fa432e ("PCI: Collect all native drivers under drivers/pci/controller/") *look* like they comprehend renames, e.g., diff --git a/drivers/pci/dwc/pci-exynos.c b/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-exynos.c similarity index 100% rename from drivers/pci/dwc/pci-exynos.c rename to drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-exynos.c IIRC I just applied that patch from email with "stg import", but maybe I should have used "git mv" instead? I did try "git mv" just now, and "git log" doesn't show history before the rename, while "git log --follow" does. Anyway, sorry about breaking history; I really hate that.
