[PATCH 0/8] Fix breakage caused by the NTB multi-port patchset

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Hey,

Here are all the fixes required to get ntb_test on switchtec working
again after the multi-port test patches were merged.

I'd appreciate it if future changes can be a) more careful about
not breaking things, b) communicated more clearly so that better
review can be done, and c) not merged until sufficient review actually
is done.

Note, I sent the first patch in this series earlier; please disregard
the earlier one.

Thanks,

Logan

[PATCH 1/8] NTB: ntb_tool: reading the link file should not end in a NULL byte

[Logan Gunthorpe]

When running ntb_test this warning is issued:

./ntb_test.sh: line 200: warning: command substitution: ignored null
byte in input

This is caused by the kernel returning one more byte than is necessary
when reading the link file.

Reduce the number of bytes read back to 2 as it was before the
commit that regressed this.

[PATCH 2/8] NTB: Setup the DMA mask globally for all drivers

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Commit  417cf39cfea9 ("NTB: Set dma mask and dma coherent mask to NTB
devices") added code to set the DMA mask for the NTB device
to each driver individually. However, it neglected to set it for the
Switchtec driver. So when the monolithic commit 7f46c8b3a552 ("NTB:
ntb_tool: Add full multi-port NTB API support") started allocating
DMA memory against the NTB device it broke the Switchtec driver.

Seeing this is setting up a property of the NTB device, it should be
done by the common NTB code (inside ntb_register_device()) so we can be
sure it's done properly for all drivers. This avoids each driver needing
to duplicate the code and helps prevent us from inadvertently breaking
one of the drivers in the future if we have to make changes in this area.

[PATCH 3/8] NTB: Fix the default port and peer numbers for legacy drivers

[Logan Gunthorpe]

When the commit adding ntb_default_port_number() and
ntb_default_peer_port_number()  entered the kernel there was no
users of it so it was impossible to tell what the API needed.

When a user finally landed a year later (ntb_pingpong) there were
more NTB topologies were created and no consideration was considered
to how other drivers had changed.

Now that there is a user it can be fixed to provide a sensible default
for the legacy drivers that do not implement ntb_{peer_}port_number().
Seeing ntb_pingpong doesn't check error codes returning EINVAL was also
not sensible.

Patches for ntb_pingpong and ntb_perf follow (which are broken
otherwise) to support hardware that doesn't have port numbers. This is
important not only to not break support with existing drivers but for
the cross link topology which, due to its perfect symmetry, cannot
assign unique port numbers to each side.

[PATCH 4/8] NTB: ntb_pingpong: Choose doorbells based on port number

[Logan Gunthorpe]

This commit fixes pingpong support for existing drivers that do not
implement ntb_default_port_number() and ntb_default_peer_port_number().
This is required for hardware (like the crosslink topology of
switchtec) which cannot assign reasonable port numbers to each port due
to its perfect symmetry.

Instead of picking the doorbell to use based on the the index of the
peer, we use the peer's port number. This is a bit clearer and easier
to understand.

[PATCH 6/8] NTB: perf: Fix support for hardware that doesn't have port numbers

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Legacy drivers do not have port numbers (but is reliably only two ports)
and was broken by the recent commit that added mult-port support to
ntb_perf. This is especially important to support the cross link
topology which is perfectly symmetric and cannot assign unique port
numbers easily.

Hardware that returns zero for both the local port and the peer should
just always use gidx=0 for the only peer.

[PATCH 7/8] NTB: perf: Fix race condition when run with ntb_test

[Logan Gunthorpe]

When running ntb_test, the script tries to run the ntb_perf test
immediately after probing the modules. Since adding multi-port support,
this fails seeing the new initialization procedure in ntb_perf
can not complete instantly.

To fix this we add a completion which is waited on when a test is
started. In this way, run can be written any time after the module is
loaded and it will wait for the initialization to complete instead of
sending an error.

ntb.c is more of a glue layer, and this is more device specific.
While I like adding it here for more common code, it should probably
reside in the ntb_hw_*.c files to enforce the hw specific code all
reside in that layer.  So, this probably needs to be replaced with a
patch which adds the setting of the mask to the switchtec driver.

Thanks,
Jon

This is a very long way of saying "no clients are checking the error
codes, so removing them". :)
I think the history and references to follow-on patches are not
necessary in the commit message and belong more in a 0/X.

This is more of a feature than a bug fix.  Can you break this (and the
pingpong and perf changes caused by this) off into a separate series,
as I'll want to apply this to the ntb-next and not bugfixes branch?

Thanks,
Jon

I disagree strongly. You can tell it's not device specific seeing we
have 4 devices that need the exact same code. In fact, there is nothing
device specific in those lines of code as the device specific part comes
when a driver sets the PCI parent device's DMA mask. These lines just
initialize the dma_mask for the new NTB device with its parent's mask.
This is just sensible given that nothing now works if it is not done and
trusting driver writers to get it right is not a good idea seeing we
already screwed it up once. Furthermore, it violates DRY (do not repeat
yourself).

If there is something driver specific that must be done (although I
can't actually imagine what this would be) the drivers are free to
change the mask after calling ntb_register but getting the common case
setup in common code is just good design.

Well, clients not checking the error code made this harder to debug for
sure, but removing the error code is a side effect and not what is
happening here (in fact someone should probably still go back and add
error checking because these functions can still return errors but
that's not really something I have time to do). After the next couple
patches, the clients will use this change to detect that there are no
port numbers and handle things similarly to the way they did before they
were broken by the multiport changes.

This is the opposite of what I've ever heard before. Having a commit
message that explains what led up to this commit is a good thing and
allows people debugging in the future to better understand the decisions
made. People debugging commits will never find the 0/X cover letter
which is just intended to introduce the series to reviewers and describe
changes if the series is posted multiple times.

No this is not a feature request. This is fixing a regression that broke
previously working code in the only sensible way I can come up with. If
you have a better way to fix this, I'd be glad to hear it. But this
should *not* be treated as a feature request.

This is weird. Neither me nor the folks' who tested the script saw this warning.
I tried it on my laptop with bash and on a target device with busybox-shell. The
warning never occurred. I even tried a simple command like:
[[ $(echo -ne "\x4e\x0a\00") == "N" ]] && echo "True"

It might be that your bash is more modern than mine. Anyway if this patch solves the
problem you see, that's great. Thanks for it.

As a part of the multi-port NTB API the port-index interface was freshly
introduced. The main idea was to somehow address local/peer domains within one
NTB device, since from now there can be more than one peer domain to send
message to or to set MWs up with. For this we invented the two-spaces interface
which mapped in general non-linear ports space to the locally linear ports
indexes space, and vise-versa. That mapping was implemented by new callbacks:
ntb_port*()/ntb_peer_port*().

Even though it perfectly fitted the IDT NTB functions, the Intel/AMD devices
didn't have explicit ports numbering. Instead we decided to assign the numbers
by using the topology type. So the Primary and B2B US sides got port
NTB_PORT_PRI_USD, Secondary and B2B DS sides got port NTB_PORT_SEC_DSD.
In order to make it being default for all pure two-ports devices like
Intel/AMD the new methods ntb_default_port_number() and
ntb_default_peer_port_number() were developed and utilized in the
ntb_port*()/ntb_peer_port*() API functions (see ntb.h header file).

So to speak the main purpose of the default methods is to assign some unique
port number to the NTB devices based on the topology at current implementation.
Please note, that it is essential for the NTB API to have each port uniquely
enumerated within one device. This is the way the multi-port NTB API has been
designed in the first place. That was the reason we altered the Intel/AMD and
IDT drivers about two years ago.

Based on this I redeveloped the ntb_tool/ntb_perf/ntb_pingpong drivers.
Needless to say that I was sure all the NTB devices followed the API convention
regarding the port numbers. Since the Switchtec driver doesn't provide the
explicit port-index API callbacks, the NTB API internals uses the default
methods, which as you can see don't know anything about SWITCH and CROSSLINK
topologies. That's why the methods return -EINVAL so the test drivers don't
work properly.

Concerning the fix of the discovered issues and fixes introduced by this
patchset. I'd suggest to add the ports-index callbacks to the Switchtec
driver, which identify local and peer ports. After this the current version
of all the test drivers shall perfectly work.

As far as I can see the PFX family switches documentation operates with the
definitions like Ports/Partitions (similar to the IDT switches) as well as
the switchtec management driver. It might be a clue to the switch functionality,
which can be used to find something similar to the ports numbering.

Thanks for the patch. It was the original version of the ping-pong driver,
I was going to submit. But I've decided to develop it a bit different. And
here is why.

My goal was to create the multi-port version of the ping-pong test.
The idea of the new driver was to implement the cyclic port-to-port
ping-pong algorithm. Simply speaking each port selects two partner-ports,
one partner would be used as the source of pings and another one would be
target of pongs sent to with the defined delay.

Since IDT got a global Doorbell register, which is shared between all
the ports, I had to assign an unique doorbell bit to each port. I created a
simple algorithm, which linearised in general non-linear port numbers.
Then I used the globally unique port index to select the corresponding
doorbell bit. pp_init_flds() methods implements the corresponding algorithm,
while pp_find_next_peer() performs the next port selection to convey the
pong to.

Regarding the patch. The idea of using the port number instead of linearised
unique index should also work for Intel/AMD/IDT drivers. But the ports-space
linearization algorithm was created for the case if the real port numbers
would exceed the available Doorbell bits. I thought this might be the case of
multi-ports version of the switchtec driver.

Needless to say, that if Switchtec driver had the ports-index API implementation,
this patch wouldn't be needed.

Good catch. Thanks. IDT got a lot of MWs especially if LookUpTables are

Well that will work for the simple switchtec case. The crosslink
topology CAN NOT produce port numbers like you ask. It is perfectly
symmetric and the two hosts cannot reliably figure out which is port 0
and which is port 1. So these patches support this case.

Hmm, this behavior is the feature of the driver and isn't a bug or race to be
fixed. ntb_perf driver returns -ENOLINK until the link is actually established,
when the memory windows are properly initialized so the test can be performed.
What do you think of leaving the algorithm as is, but instead to develop
the polling scheme in the ntb_test.sh script and break the script execution if
the link isn't established after sometime? At least we won't need to wait forever
in case if the peer hanged up or crashed while the NTB link negotiation algorithm
was in-progress.

Good catch. Thanks for the patch. I discovered this problem myself a few days
before you sent this patchset. So was going to submit the fix, but you were
faster.

I also tested this script in the looped-back setup. It is the case when two
NTB-device ports are available at the same RootComplex. So the NTB can be
configured from the single executional context. In this case the REMOTE_HOST is left
empty, so the colon is left prepended to the corresponding paths and causes multiple
errors including the one fixed by this patch. In order to fix it, we need to discard
the colon for remote-less case, for instance, by the next patch:

@@ -482,7 +495,11 @@ function perf_test()

And so on for REMOTE_PP and REMOTE_PERF. It is necessary for NTB devices, which ports
are looped-back to the same Root-Port. Would you be amenable if you resent this patch
together with the fix I suggested?

Well, the switchtec driver splits its 64 doorbells in two sets, one for
each port right now. That will likely have to change when we go to a
multi-port implementation. In that case we will have 64 doorbells and a
maximum 48 ports. So I don't think we have to concern ourselves with
more ports than doorbells.

As I've said, it's impossible to write for the crosslink topology so the
clients must support that case.

I think polling is really ugly and doesn't really address solve the
issue of waiting forever. It's pretty easy to interrupt out of the wait
and provides a much better clue to whats going on than an error.

If we want to be more explicit, it would be pretty easy to start a timer
in the bash script and use SIGALRM to exit if the link doesn't come up
after 30 seconds or something.

See my comments as to why this is impossible.

Thanks. It would be good to get Acked-bys or Reviewed-bys on the patches
you approved.

I took a closer look at this and it's not necessary. (Note: I do the
majority of my testing in a looped-back setup).

What you didn't notice is that split_remote() separates the colon
whether there is a host or not. It's not passed to ssh or cat (or
whatever) directly. So the change you propose will actually break the
how it was designed.
