[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1853306] Re: [22.04 FEAT] Enhanced Interpretation for PCI Functions on s390x - kernel part

2024-03-01 Thread Frank Heimes
This bug affects s390x only, hence I'm updating all further verification
requests to done, to unblock potential ongoing processes.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * Currently the PCI passthrough implementation for s390x is based on
     intercepting PCI I/O instructions, which leads to a reduced I/O performance
     compared to the execution of PCI instructions directly in LPAR.

   * Hence users may face I/O bottlenecks when using PCI devices in passthrough
     mode based on the current implementation.

   * For avoiding this and to improve performance, the interpretive execution
     of the PCI store and PCI load instructions get enabled.

   * A further improvement is achieved by enabling the 
Adapter-Event-Notification
     Interpretation (AENI).

   * Since LTS releases are the main focus for stable and long running KVM
     workloads, it is highly desired to get this backported to the jammy kernel
     (and because the next LTS is still some time away).

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Hardware used: z14 or greater LPAR, PCI-attached devices
(RoCE VFs, ISM devices, NVMe drive)

  * Setup: Both the kernel and QEMU features are needed for the feature
to function (an upstream QEMU can be used to verify the kernel early),
and the facility is only avaialble on z14 or newer.
When any of those pieces is missing,
the interpretation facility will not be used.
When both the kernel and QEMU features are included in their respective
packages, and running in an LPAR on a z14 or newer machine,
this feature will be enabled automatically.
Existing supported devices should behave as before with no changes
required by an end-user (e.g. no changes to libvirt domain definitions)
-- but will now make use of the interpretation facility.
Additionally, ISM devices will now be eligible for vfio-pci passthrough
(where before QEMU would exit on error if attempting to provide an ISM
device for vfio-pci passthrough, preventing the guest from starting)

  * Testing will include the following scenarios, repeated each for RoCE,
ISM and NVMe:

1) Testing of basic device passthrough (create a VM with a vfio-pci
   device as part of the libvirt domain definition, passing through
   a RoCE VF, an ISM device, or an NVMe drive. Verify that the device
   is available in the guest and functioning)
2) Testing of device hotplug/unplug (create a VM with a vfio-pci device,
   virsh detach-device to remove the device from the running guest,
   verify the device is removed from the guest, then virsh attach-device
   to hotplug the device to the guest again, verify the device functions
   in the guest)
3) Host power off testing: Power off the device from the host, verify
   that the device is unplugged from the guest as part of the poweroff
4) Guest power off testing: Power off the device from within the guest,
   verify that the device is unusuable in the guest,
   power the device back on within the guest and verify that the device
   is once again usable.
5) Guest reboot testing: (create a VM with a vfio-pci device,
   verify the device is in working condition, reboot the guest,
   verify that the device is still usable after reboot)

  Testing will include the following scenarios specifically for ISM
  devices:

  1) Testing of SMC-D v1 fallback: Using 2 ISM devices on the same VCHID
 that share a PNETID, create 2 guests and pass one ISM device
 via vfio-pci device to each guest.
 Establish TCP connectivity between the 2 guests using the libvirt
 default network, and then use smc_run
 (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/smc_run.8.html)
 to run an iperf workload between the 2 guests (will include both
 short workloads and longer-running workloads).
 Verify that SMC-D transfer was used between the guests instead
 of TCP via 'smcd stats' 
 (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/smcd.8.html)

  2) Testing of SMC-D v2: Same as above,
 but using 2 ISM devices on the same VCHID that have no PNETID specified

  Testing will include the following scenarios specifically for RoCE
  devices:

  1) Ping testing: Using 2 RoCE VFs that share a common network,
 create 2 guests and pass one RoCE d

4) Guest power off testing: Power off the device from within the guest,
   verify that the device is unusuable in the guest,
   power the device back on within the guest and verify that the device
   is once again usable.
5) Guest reboot testing: (create a VM with a vfio-pci device,

  devices:

  1) Testing of SMC-D v1 fallback: Using 2 ISM devices on the same VCHID
 that share a PNETID, create 2 guests and pass one ISM device
 via vfio-pci device to each guest.
 Establish TCP connectivity between the 2 guests using the libvirt
 default network, and then use smc_run

 to run an iperf workload between the 2 guests (will include both
 short workloads and longer-running workloads).
 Verify that SMC-D transfer was used between the guests instead
 of TCP via 'smcd stats' 
 (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/smcd.8.html)

  [ Impact ]

   * Currently the PCI passthrough implementation for s390x is based on
     intercepting PCI I/O instructions, which leads to a reduced I/O performance
     compared to the execution of PCI instructions directly in LPAR.

   * Hence users may face I/O bottlenecks when using PCI devices in passthrough
     mode based on the current implementation.

   * For avoiding this and to improve performance, the interpretive execution
     of the PCI store and PCI load instructions get enabled.

     Interpretation (AENI).

   * Since LTS releases are the main focus for stable and long running KVM
     workloads, it is highly desired to get this backported to the jammy kernel
     (and because the next LTS is still some time away).

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Hardware used: z14 or greater LPAR, PCI-attached devices
(RoCE VFs, ISM devices, NVMe drive)

  * Setup: Both the kernel and QEMU features are needed for the feature
to function (an upstream QEMU can be used to verify the kernel early),
and the facility is only avaialble on z14 or newer.
When any of those pieces is missing,
the interpretation facility will not be used.
When both the kernel and QEMU features are included in their respective
packages, and running in an LPAR on a z14 or newer machine,
this feature will be enabled automatically.
Existing supported devices should behave as before with no changes
required by an end-user (e.g. no changes to libvirt domain definitions)
-- but will now make use of the interpretation facility.
Additionally, ISM devices will now be eligible for vfio-pci passthrough
(where before QEMU would exit on error if attempting to provide an ISM
device for vfio-pci passthrough, preventing the guest from starting)

ISM and NVMe:

1) Testing of basic device passthrough (create a VM with a vfio-pci
   device as part of the libvirt domain definition, passing through
   a RoCE VF, an ISM device, or an NVMe drive. Verify that the device
   is available in the guest and functioning)
2) Testing of device hotplug/unplug (create a VM with a vfio-pci device,
   virsh detach-device to remove the device from the running guest,
   verify the device is removed from the guest, then virsh attach-device
   to hotplug the device to the guest again, verify the device functions
   in the guest)

Verification of this kernel feature is complete.  All tests were run using the 
kernel in jammy-proposed (5.15.0-79-generic #86-Ubuntu) on the host as well as 
in the KVM guest (except where otherwise noted, see below).
Because the necessary qemu changes are not yet in jammy-proposed, I used a 
custom qemu build based on the launchpad qemu repository + applied the QEMU 
feature backport.  I will do a second verification of the QEMU feature once 
that package is available.

As for the testing itself:  NVMe and RoCE testing went just as expected.

During ISM testing, I did run into one issue that is not caused by this
feature (therefore I am marking verification complete) but it is
something that will need to be fixed separately once an upstream patch
is available.  Specifically, when using the jammy-proposed kernel in the
KVM guest I noted occasional UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds warnings
from net/smc/af_smc.c -- This is not directly due to the code added by
this feature or even due to being run in a KVM guest, but rather a bug
in net/smc code (specifically the SMC_STAT_PAYLOAD_SUB macro) that is
much more obvious when ubsan is enabled.  I've already identified the
root cause, verified that it also exists upstream, and reported the
issue to the SMC maintainers along with a suggested fix - without UBSAN
enabled no warning is issued but an incorrect performance status counter
is quietly incremented.  I had panic_on_warn enabled in the KVM guest,
therefore the warning caused the guest to crash; otherwise I likely
would not have noticed this issue at all.

In order to complete all verification tests related to ISM devices, I proceeded 
with 2 different KVM guest kernel configurations and ran all ISM tests using 
both:
1) a custom built (upstream 6.4.0) guest kernel that did not include UBSAN
2) the jammy-proposed kernel that includes UBSAN but with panic_on_warn=0

All test scenarios passed with these guest kernels.

Hi Frank -- Thanks alot.  Here's some information about the testing I intend to 
do (I will duplicate it to the QEMU feature), let me know if you have any 
questions or if you need more details.  I don't see a QEMU package available 
for testing yet so if need be I can use upstream QEMU to verify the kernel.

Testing will consist of the following (all on s390):

Hardware used:  z14 or greater LPAR, PCI-attached devices (RoCE VFs, ISM
devices, NVMe drive)

Setup:  Both the kernel and QEMU features are needed for the feature to 
function (an upstream QEMU can be used to verify the kernel early), and the 
facility is only avaialble on z14 or newer.  When any of those pieces is 
missing, the interpretation facility will not be used.
When both the kernel and QEMU features are included in their respective 
packages, and running in an LPAR on a z14 or newer machine, this feature will 
be enabled automatically.  Existing supported devices should behave as before 
with no changes required by an end-user (e.g. no changes to libvirt domain 
definitions) -- but will now make use of the interpretation facility.
Additionally, ISM devices will now be eligible for vfio-pci passthrough (where 
before QEMU would exit on error if attempting to provide an ISM device for 
vfio-pci passthrough, preventing the guest from starting)

Testing will include the following scenarios, repeated each for RoCE,
ISM and NVMe:

1) Testing of basic device passthrough (create a VM with a vfio-pci device as 
part of the libvirt domain definition, passing through a RoCE VF, an ISM 
device, or an NVMe drive.  Verify that the device is available in the guest and 
functioning)
2) Testing of device hotplug/unplug (create a VM with a vfio-pci device, virsh 
detach-device to remove the device from the running guest, verify the device is 
removed from the guest, then virsh attach-device to hotplug the device to the 
guest again, verify the device functions in the guest)
3) Host power off testing:  Power off the device from the host, verify that the 
device is unplugged from the guest as part of the poweroff
4) Guest power off testing: Power off the device from within the guest, verify 
that the device is unusuable in the guest, power the device back on within the 
guest and verify that the device is once again usable.
5) Guest reboot testing:  (create a VM with a vfio-pci device, verify the 
device is in working condition, reboot the guest, verify that the device is 
still usable after reboot)

Testing will include the following scenarios specifically for ISM
devices:

1) Testing of SMC-D v1 fallback: Using 2 ISM devices on the same VCHID
that share a PNETID, create 2 guests and pass one ISM device via vfio-
pci device to each guest.  Establish TCP connectivity between the 2
guests using the libvirt default network, and then use smc_run
(https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/smc_run.8.html) to run
an iperf workload between the 2 guests (will include both short
workloads and longer-running workloads).  Verify that SMC-D transfer was
used between the guests instead of TCP via 'smcd stats'
(https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/smcd.8.html)

2) Testing of SMC-D v2: Same as above, but using 2 ISM devices on the
same VCHID that have no PNETID specified

Testing will include the following scenarios specifically for RoCE
devices:

1) Ping testing:  Using 2 RoCE VFs that share a common network, create 2
guests and pass one RoCE device to each guest.  Assign IP addresses
within each guest to the associated TCP interface, perform a ping
between the guests to verify connectivity.

2) Iperf testing:  Similar to the above, but instead establish an iperf
connection between the 2 guests and verify that the workload is
successful / no errors.  Will include both short workloads and longer-
running workloads.

Testing will include the following scenario specifically for NVMe
devices:

1) Fio testing:  Using a NVMe drive passed to the guest via vfio-pci,
run a series of fio tests against the device from within the guest,
verifying that the workload is successful / no errors.  Will include
both short workloads and longer-running workloads.

@mjrosato - ok, please take a few more days.

But what's needed is a detailed test plan about how this (L#1853306), in 
combination with the qemu part (LP#1853307 - see commet #23), that shows how 
this be verified.
It should be detailed, step-by-step and e2e - it's needed for this (actually

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The modifications do not change the way users or APIs have to make
 use of PCI passthrough, only the internal implementation got modified.

   * The vast majority of the code changes/or additional code is s390x-specific,
 under arch/s390 and drivers/s390.

   * However there is also common code touched:
 
   * 'kvm: use kvfree() in kvm_arch_free_vm()' touches
 arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h, arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c,
 arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h, arch/x86/kvm/x86.c,
 include/linux/kvm_host.h switches in kvm_arch_free_vm() from kfree() to
 kvfree() allowing to use the common variant, which is upstream since v5.16
 and with that well established.

   * And 'vfio-pci/zdev: add open/close device hooks' touches
 drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c and drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_zdev.c
 include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h add now code to introduce device hooks.
 It's upstream since kernel 6.0.

   * 'KVM: s390: pci: provide routines for en-/disabling interrupt forwarding'
 expands a single #if statement in include/linux/sched/user.h.

   * 'KVM: s390: add KVM_S390_ZPCI_OP to manage guest zPCI devices'
 adds s390x specific KVM_S390_ZPCI_OP and it's definition to
 include/uapi/linux/kvm.h.

   * And 'vfio-pci/zdev: different maxstbl for interpreted devices' and
 'vfio-pci/zdev: add function handle to clp base capability' expand
 s390x-specific (aka z-specific aka zdev) device structs in
 include/uapi/linux/vfio_zdev.h.

   * This shows that the vast majority of modifications are s390x specific,
 even in most of the common code files.

   * The remaining modifications in the (generally) common code files are
 related to the newly introduced kernel option 'CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM'
 and documentation.

   * The s390x changes are more significant, and could not only harm
 passthrough itself for zPCI devices, but also KVM virtualization in 
general.

   * In addition to these kernel changes, qemu modifications  are needed
 as well (that are addressed at LP#1853307), this modified kernel
 must be tested in combination with the updated qemu package.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Have an Ubuntu Server 22.04 installation on LPAR,
 that is able to access (ideally multiple) PCI devices,
 like RoCE Express (network) or NVMe disks.

   * Setup KVM and pass through (ideally multiple) of these PCI devices
 (that are otherwise unused on the KVM host).

   * Generate IO load on these passed through PCI devices,
 for example with stress-ng, using class network and/or device
 and/or io stressors.

   * This PR also introduces a new kernel config option 'VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM'
 that allows to enable support for the s390x-specific extensions and
 enhancements to KVM passthrough, such as interpretive execution of zPCI
 instructions and is with this PR and got enabled.

   * The qemu autopkgtest (also needed due to LP#1853307) will be a got fit
 to identify any potential regressions, also in the kvm kernel area.

   * zPCI passthrough related test will be done by IBM.

  
  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The modifications do not change the way users or APIs have to make
 use of PCI passthrough, only the internal implementation got modified.

   * The vast majority of the code changes/or additional code is s390x-specific,
 under arch/s390 and drivers/s390.

   * However there is also common code touched:
 
   * 'kvm: use kvfree() in kvm_arch_free_vm()' touches
 arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h, arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c,
 arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h, arch/x86/kvm/x86.c,
 include/linux/kvm_host.h switches in kvm_arch_free_vm() from kfree() to
 kvfree() allowing to use the common variant, which is upstream since v5.16
 and with that well established.

   * And 'vfio-pci/zdev: add open/close device hooks' touches
 drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c and drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_zdev.c
 include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h add now code to introduce device hooks.
 It's upstream since kernel 6.0.

   * 'KVM: s390: pci: provide routines for en-/disabling interrupt forwarding'
 expands a single #if statement in include/linux/sched/user.h.

   * 'KVM: s390: add KVM_S390_ZPCI_OP to manage guest zPCI devices'
 adds s390x specific KVM_S390_ZPCI_OP and it's definition to
 include/uapi/linux/kvm.h.

   * And 'vfio-pci/zdev: different maxstbl for interpreted devices' and
 'vfio-pci/zdev: add function handle to clp base capability' expand
 s390x-specific (aka z-specific aka zdev) device structs in
 include/uapi/linux/vfio_zdev.h.

   * This shows that the vast majority of modifications are s390x specific,
 even in most of the common code files.

   * The remaining modifications in the (generally) common code files are
 related to the newly introduced kernel option 'CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM'
 and documentation.

   * The s390x changes are more significant, and could not only harm
 passthrough itself for zPCI devices, but also KVM virtualization in 
general.

   * In addition to these kernel changes, qemu modifications  are needed
 as well (that are addressed at LP#1853307), this modified kernel
 must be tested in combination with the updated qemu package.

2023-07-13 Thread Ubuntu Kernel Bot
This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.15.0-79.86 kernel in
-proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug
with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag
'verification-needed-jammy' to 'verification-done-jammy'. If the problem
still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy' to
'verification-failed-jammy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

   * Currently the PCI passthrough implementation for s390x is based on
 intercepting PCI I/O instructions, which leads to a reduced I/O performance

For backporting to jammy, the following is required and can be cherry-picked 
(except where noted a proposed backport has been provided).  The most notable 
backport here is for '8061d1c31f1a vfio-pci/zdev: add open/close device hooks' 
where the backport makes a specific change to this s390-only code and its 
interface with vfio rather than pulling in a very large number of vfio pre-reqs.
