[PATCH RFC 0/5] support batched IOTLB updating in vhost-vdpa

[PATCH RFC 0/5] support batched IOTLB updating in vhost-vdpa

[Jason Wang]

Hi all:

This series tries to support batched IOTLB updating vhost-vdpa.

Currently vhost-vdpa accepts userspace mapping via IOTLB API, and it
can only forward one mapping to IOMMU or device through IOMMU API or
dma_map(). Though set_map() is deisgend to have the capability to pass
an rbtree based mapping to vDPA device, it's still be called at least
once for each VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE or VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE. This is
because vhost-vdpa doesn't know the userspace start or stop then
updating.

So this patch introduces two flags as hints for vhost-vdpa to call
set_map() only when userspace finish a batch of IOTLB updating.

So instead of:

1) VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE -> set_map() (s)
2) VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE -> set_map() (s)
...
n) VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE -> set_map() (s)

With the help of hints, we do:

0) VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_START

1) VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE
...
n) VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE

n+1) VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END -> set_map()

One one call of set_map() to vDPA device for a batch of IOTLB
mappings. So for the device that has its own DMA translation logic, it
can efficiently structure the memory mapping to get best performance.

Note, this only impact the devices that want its own DMA
translation. For other type of device, no changes in behaviour.

Please reivew.

[PATCH RFC 4/5] vhost-vdpa: support IOTLB batching hints

[Jason Wang]

This patches extend the vhost IOTLB API to accept batch updating hints
form userspace. When userspace wants update the device IOTLB in a
batch, it may do:

1) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN flag
2) Perform a batch of IOTLB updating via VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE
3) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END flag

Vhost-vdpa may decide to batch the IOMMU/IOTLB updating in step 3 when
vDPA device support set_map() ops. This is useful for the vDPA device
that want to know all the mappings to tweak their own DMA translation
logic.

For vDPA device that doesn't require set_map(), no behavior changes.

This capability is advertised via VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_BATCH capability.

As long as we are extending the interface,
is there some way we could cut down the number of system calls needed
here?

Well not just hints - in fact updates do not take place
until _END.

How about:

/* VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN and VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END allow modifying
 * multiple mappings in one go: beginning with
 * VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN, followed by any number of
   VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE messages, and ending with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END.
 */

how about:

when one of these two values is used as the message type, the
rest of the fields in the message are ignored.

I'm not sure it's worth to do that since usually we only have less than 
10 regions.

A possible method is to carry multiple vhost_iotlb_message in one system 
call.

Well with a guest iommu I'm guessing it can go up significantly, right?

That's an option.
Also, can kernel handle a batch that is too large by applying
parts of it iteratively?
Or must all changes take place atomically after BATCH_END?
If atomically, we might need to limit batch size to make
sure kernel can keep a copy in memory.

Is there a guarantee that these changes take place atomically?

The batching flag is not mandatory, so userspace can still choose to 
update a single IOTLB mapping through a single system call without batch 
flag.

I think so, we can iterate a vhost iotlb message one by one through iov 
iterator.


> Or must all changes take place atomically after BATCH_END?


For changes:

- if you mean the changes in vhost IOTLB, it's not atomically
- if you mean the mapping seen by vDPA device driver, it could be 
atomically for the device driver that implements set_map() method, since 
we pass a interval tree to the device.

It's the responsibility of guest driver to make sure there won't be a 
race condition between DMA and map updating. So it looks to me we don't 
need to care about that.

There's no guarantee. Will document this.

[PATCH RFC 5/5] vdpasim: support batch updating

[Jason Wang]

The vDPA simulator support both set_map() and dma_map()/dma_unmap()
operations. But vhost-vdpa can only use one of them. So this patch
introduce a module parameter (batch_mapping) that let vpda_sim to
support only one of those dma operations. The batched mapping via
set_map() is enabled by default.
