[PATCH v10 00/14] machine: smp parsing fixes and improvement

[Yanan Wang]

Hello,

This is a new version v10 rebased on latest upstream commit 11a1199846.
To make this series more acceptable, drop the last two patches in v9
about SMP unit test, since the scalability of the test is not optimally
designed after rethinking of it. So I will resend the test related
patches separately after refining them with a best way.

Patches in v10 are all Reviewed. While some ACKs from x86 maintainers
are still needed until now.

Eduardo, Paolo, any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Yanan
.

Summary of v10:
1) Specifying a CPU topology parameter as zero was implicitly allowed
but undocumented before, while now it's explicitly deprecated.

2) Refactor/fixes of the smp parsers.

3) For consistency, maxcpus is now uniformly used to calculate the
omitted topology members.

4) Improve the error reporting.

5) It's also suggested that we should start to prefer cores over sockets
over threads on the newer machine types, which will make the computed
virtual topology more reflective of the real hardware. Related discussion
can be found in [1].
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/YNIgInK00yNNI4Dy@redhat.com/

6) In order to reduce code duplication and ease the code maintenance,
smp_parse() is converted into a generic enough parser for all arches,
so that the arch-specific ones (e.g. pc_smp_parse) can be removed.
It's also convenient to introduce more topology members to the generic
parser in the future. Related discussions can be found in [2] and [3].

[PATCH v10 01/14] machine: Deprecate "parameter=0" SMP configurations

[Yanan Wang]

In the SMP configuration, we should either provide a topology
parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just
omit it and QEMU will compute the missing value.

The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter
of it specified as zero (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) which could
possibly cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So we
deprecate this kind of configurations since 6.2 by adding the
explicit sanity check.

[PATCH v10 02/14] machine: Minor refactor/fix for the smp parsers

[Yanan Wang]

To pave the way for the functional improvement in later patches,
make some refactor/cleanup for the smp parsers, including using
local maxcpus instead of ms->smp.max_cpus in the calculation,
defaulting dies to 0 initially like other members, cleanup the
sanity check for dies.

We actually also fix a hidden defect by avoiding directly using
the provided *zero value* in the calculation, which could cause
a segment fault (e.g. using dies=0 in the calculation).

[PATCH v10 03/14] machine: Uniformly use maxcpus to calculate the omitted parameters

[Yanan Wang]

We are currently using maxcpus to calculate the omitted sockets
but using cpus to calculate the omitted cores/threads. This makes
cmdlines like:
  -smp cpus=8,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,cores=4,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,threads=2,maxcpus=16
work fine but the ones like:
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,threads=2,maxcpus=16
break the sanity check.

Since we require for a valid config that the product of "sockets * cores
* threads" should equal to the maxcpus, we should uniformly use maxcpus
to calculate their omitted values.

Also the if-branch of "cpus == 0 || sockets == 0" was split into two
branches of "cpus == 0" and "sockets == 0" so that we can clearly read
that we are parsing the configuration with a preference on cpus over
sockets over cores over threads.

Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but improves consistency and allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

[PATCH v10 04/14] machine: Set the value of cpus to match maxcpus if it's omitted

[Yanan Wang]

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
  -smp maxcpus=16

not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.

So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.

Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

[PATCH v10 05/14] machine: Improve the error reporting of smp parsing

[Yanan Wang]

We have two requirements for a valid SMP configuration:
the product of "sockets * cores * threads" must represent all the
possible cpus, i.e., max_cpus, and then must include the initially
present cpus, i.e., smp_cpus.

So we only need to ensure 1) "sockets * cores * threads == maxcpus"
at first and then ensure 2) "maxcpus >= cpus". With a reasonable
order of the sanity check, we can simplify the error reporting code.
When reporting an error message we also report the exact value of
each topology member to make users easily see what's going on.

[PATCH v10 06/14] qtest/numa-test: Use detailed -smp CLIs in pc_dynamic_cpu_cfg

[Yanan Wang]

Since commit 80d7835749 (qemu-options: rewrite help for -smp options),
the preference of sockets/cores in -smp parsing is considered liable
to change, and actually we are going to change it in a coming commit.
So it'll be more stable to use detailed -smp CLIs in testing if we
have strong dependency on the parsing results.

pc_dynamic_cpu_cfg currently assumes/needs that there will be 2 CPU
sockets with "-smp 2". To avoid breaking the test because of parsing
logic change, now explicitly use "-smp 2,sockets=2".

[PATCH v10 07/14] qtest/numa-test: Use detailed -smp CLIs in test_def_cpu_split

[Yanan Wang]

Since commit 80d7835749 (qemu-options: rewrite help for -smp options),
the preference of sockets/cores in -smp parsing is considered liable
to change, and actually we are going to change it in a coming commit.
So it'll be more stable to use detailed -smp CLIs in the testcases
that have strong dependency on the parsing results.

Currently, test_def_cpu_split use "-smp 8" and will get 8 CPU sockets
based on current parsing rule. But if we change to prefer cores over
sockets we will get one CPU socket with 8 cores, and this testcase
will not get expected numa set by default on x86_64 (Ok on aarch64).

So now explicitly use "-smp 8,sockets=8" to avoid affect from parsing
logic change.

[PATCH v10 08/14] machine: Prefer cores over sockets in smp parsing since 6.2

[Yanan Wang]

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.

Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more
reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.

In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

[PATCH v10 09/14] machine: Use ms instead of global current_machine in sanity-check

[Yanan Wang]

In the sanity-check of smp_cpus and max_cpus against mc in function
machine_set_smp(), we are now using ms->smp.max_cpus for the check
but using current_machine->smp.max_cpus in the error message.
Tweak this by uniformly using the local ms.

[PATCH v10 10/14] machine: Tweak the order of topology members in struct CpuTopology

[Yanan Wang]

Now that all the possible topology parameters are integrated in struct
CpuTopology, tweak the order of topology members to be "cpus/sockets/
dies/cores/threads/maxcpus" for readability and consistency. We also
tweak the comment by adding explanation of dies parameter.

[PATCH v10 11/14] machine: Make smp_parse generic enough for all arches

[Yanan Wang]

Currently the only difference between smp_parse and pc_smp_parse
is the support of dies parameter and the related error reporting.
With some arch compat variables like "bool dies_supported", we can
make smp_parse generic enough for all arches and the PC specific
one can be removed.

Making smp_parse() generic enough can reduce code duplication and
ease the code maintenance, and also allows extending the topology
with more arch specific members (e.g., clusters) in the future.

[PATCH v10 12/14] machine: Remove smp_parse callback from MachineClass

[Yanan Wang]

Now we have a generic smp parser for all arches, and there will
not be any other arch specific ones, so let's remove the callback
from MachineClass and call the parser directly.

[PATCH v10 13/14] machine: Move smp_prefer_sockets to struct SMPCompatProps

[Yanan Wang]

Now we have a common structure SMPCompatProps used to store information
about SMP compatibility stuff, so we can also move smp_prefer_sockets
there for cleaner code.

No functional change intended.

[PATCH v10 14/14] machine: Put all sanity-check in the generic SMP parser

[Yanan Wang]

Put both sanity-check of the input SMP configuration and sanity-check
of the output SMP configuration uniformly in the generic parser. Then
machine_set_smp() will become cleaner, also all the invalid scenarios
can be tested only by calling the parser.

Mixing g_strdup_printf + pstrcat + fixed buffer is quite
unpleasant. This method is begging to use 'GString' APIs
for formatting.

Indeed, GString seems to be the ideal choice for this. It's
my bad not thinking about usage of it at the beginning.
I will update this patch in v11. Thanks for the suggestion.
