Hey everyone,
This is v5 of performant CXL type 3 regions set:
v4 -> v5: Fixed some minor patch style like missing trailing whilespace and such.
v3 -> v4: 1) Tear down path changed, given that it is done differently than
setup.
2) Dropped Gregory's tested-by tag due to tear down changes.
v2 -> v3: Addressing Zhijian Li. Thanks for the feedback.
v1 -> v2: Mainly rebase.
Hope patches apply OK this time.
==========================================================
The CXL address to device decoding logic is complex because of the need
to correctly decode fine grained interleave. The current implementation
prevents use with KVM where executed instructions may reside in that
memory and gives very slow performance even in TCG.
In many real cases non interleaved memory configurations are useful and
for those we can use a more conventional memory region alias allowing
similar performance to other memory in the system.
Whether this fast path is applicable can be established once the full
set of HDM decoders has been committed (in whatever order the guest
decides to commit them). As such a check is performed on each commit /
uncommit of HDM decoder to establish if the alias should be added or
removed.
Performance numbers:
For a read/write test with 4K block size, 256M region size, and 1 thread
with 100 iteration on TCG (it should do similar on KVM):
- Non-interleaved region (fast path): 25-30 seconds.
- Interleaved region (no fast path): Never finishes within 10
minutes.
Tested Topologies and Region Layouts
====================================
This series was validated across multiple CXL topology configurations,
covering single-device, multi-device, multi-host-bridge, and switched
fabrics. Region creation was exercised using the `cxl` userspace tool
with both non-interleaved and interleaved setups.
Decoder and memdev identifiers were discovered using:
cxl list
cxl list -D
Decoder IDs (e.g. decoder0.0) and memdev names (mem0, mem1) are
environment-specific. Commands below use placeholders such as
<decoder_span_both> which should be replaced with IDs from `cxl list -D`.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Region Layout Notation
----------------------
CFMW (CXL Fixed Memory Window) is shown as a linear address space
containing regions:
CFMW: [ R0 | R1 | R2 ]
R0, R1, R2 are regions created by `cxl create-region`.
Non-interleaved region:
R0 (ways=1) -> entirely on one device (mem0 or mem1)
Fast path: APPLICABLE
2-way interleaved region (g=256):
R1 (ways=2, g=256) striped across devices:
|mem0|mem1|mem0|mem1|mem0|mem1| ...
256 256 256 256 256 256 bytes
Fast path: NOT APPLICABLE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) One device, one host bridge, one fixed window
------------------------------------------------
QEMU:
-M q35,cxl=on,cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.0.size=4G
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=12
-device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=2
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=512M,share=on
-device cxl-type3,id=dev0,bus=rp0,memdev=mem0
Topology:
Host
|
+-- CXL Host Bridge (cxl.0)
|
+-- Root Port (rp0)
|
+-- Type-3 (dev0, mem0)
Regions created:
cxl create-region ... -w 1 ... mem0 (Fast path: YES)
cxl create-region ... -w 1 ... mem0 (Fast path: YES)
Layout:
CFMW: [ R0 | R1 ]
R0 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
R1 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2) One host bridge, two Type-3 devices (via two root ports)
------------------------------------------------------------
QEMU:
-M q35,cxl=on,cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.0.size=4G
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=12
-device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=2
-device cxl-rp,id=rp1,bus=cxl.0,port=1,chassis=0,slot=3
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=512M,share=on
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=512M,share=on
-device cxl-type3,id=dev0,bus=rp0,memdev=mem0
-device cxl-type3,id=dev1,bus=rp1,memdev=mem1
Topology:
Host
|
+-- CXL Host Bridge (cxl.0)
|
+-- Root Port (rp0) -- Type-3 (dev0, mem0)
|
+-- Root Port (rp1) -- Type-3 (dev1, mem1)
Region patterns exercised:
2.1 All non-interleaved:
R0 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
R1 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
R2 -> mem1 (Fast path: YES)
R3 -> mem1 (Fast path: YES)
2.2 Interleaved + local:
R0 -> mem0/mem1 interleaved (Fast path: NO)
R1 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
2.3 Local + interleaved + local:
R0 -> mem0 (Fast path: YES)
R1 -> mem0/mem1 interleaved (Fast path: NO)
R2 -> mem1 (Fast path: YES)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Two host bridges, one device per host bridge
------------------------------------------------
QEMU:
-M q35,cxl=on,
cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.0.size=4G,
cxl-fmw.1.targets.0=cxl.1,cxl-fmw.1.size=4G,
cxl-fmw.2.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.2.size=4G
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=12
-device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=2
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=512M,share=on
-device cxl-type3,id=dev0,bus=rp0,memdev=mem0
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.1,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=13
-device cxl-rp,id=rp1,bus=cxl.1,port=0,chassis=1,slot=2
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=512M,share=on
-device cxl-type3,id=dev1,bus=rp1,memdev=mem1
Region patterns identical to section 2, and fast-path applicability is
identical per region mapping (non-interleaved: YES, interleaved: NO).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Switch topology
------------------
QEMU:
-M q35,cxl=on,cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.0.size=4G
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=12
-device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=2
-device cxl-rp,id=rp1,bus=cxl.0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=3
-device cxl-upstream,id=us0,bus=rp0
-device cxl-downstream,id=ds0,bus=us0,port=0,chassis=0,slot=4
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=512M,share=on
-device cxl-type3,id=dev0,bus=ds0,memdev=mem0
Topology (detailed):
Host
|
+-- CXL Host Bridge (cxl.0)
|
+-- Root Port (rp0)
| |
| +-- CXL Switch (upstream us0)
| |
| +-- Downstream Port (ds0) -- Type-3 (mem0)
| |
| +-- Downstream Port (ds1) -- Type-3 (mem1) [optional]
+-- Root Port (rp1)
|
+-- More devices/switches.
Fast-path interpretation in this topology:
If only mem0 exists:
All regions -> Fast path: YES
If mem0 and mem1 exist:
Non-interleaved regions -> Fast path: YES
Interleaved regions -> Fast path: NO
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
-------
Across all topologies, region creation, enablement, and HDM decoder
commit/uncommit flows were exercised. The fast path is enabled only when
all decoders describe a non-interleaved mapping and is removed when any
interleave configuration is introduced.
Alireza Sanaee (3):
hw/cxl: Use HPA in cxl_cfmws_find_device() rather than offset in
window.
hw/cxl: Allow cxl_cfmws_find_device() to filter on whether interleaved
paths are accepted
hw/cxl: Add a performant (and correct) path for the non interleaved
cases

This function will shortly be used to help find if there is a route to a
device, serving an HPA, under a particular fixed memory window. Rather than
having that new use case subtract the base address in the caller, only to
add it again in cxl_cfmws_find_device(), push the responsibility for
calculating the HPA to the caller.
This also reduces the inconsistency in the meaning of the hwaddr addr
parameter between this function and the calls made within it that access
the HDM decoders that operating on HPA.

Extend cxl_cfmws_find_device() with a parameter that filters on whether the
address lies in an interleaved range. For now all callers accept
interleave configurations so no functional changes.

kreview flagged this, seems reasonable given other examples in the tree
The other commits looked ok, I'll try to get around to testing this soon.

The alias parameters (target MR, offset, size) are all guest-controlled
and can change between cycles -- the guest can reprogram DPA skip, decoder
size, or decoder base before recommitting. There is no API to change the
alias target (mr->alias) after init, so an init-once approach would not
work here.
The VGA chain4_alias in hw/display/vga.c handles the same situation
(embedded MR alias rebuilt with different parameters on guest register
writes) using object_unparent():
vga_update_memory_access() {
memory_region_del_subregion(s->legacy_address_space, &s->chain4_alias);
object_unparent(OBJECT(&s->chain4_alias));
...
memory_region_init_alias(&s->chain4_alias, ...);
memory_region_add_subregion_overlap(..., &s->chain4_alias, 2);
}
Adding object_unparent() in remove() should fix this:
memory_region_del_subregion(&owner_fw->mr, direct_mr);
object_unparent(OBJECT(direct_mr));
ct3d->direct_mr_fw[idx] = NULL;

This was actually my question as well, but I tested with a scenario in which I
created a region with its alias. Then I torn down that region so that the alias
goes away, and finally reinitialized the same region to reuse the deleted alias
object. It worked, but still it does not mean it is correct. I can send another
revision using unparent API.

It is more elegant (and keeps the introspection stuff reporting correctly)
to unparent the object on delete. To test this you'd need to bring it up in a different
cfmws so the parent changes. So this is good feedback.
There is a secondary issue that around the HBM decoder registers being modified at random
points that don't make sense from an OS flow point of view, but which could lead to
mismatch. For that one we'd need to snapshot the decoders at commit time and use
that snapshot as the valid settings.
Note that form a spec viewpoint I think it's undefined what happens if the OS messes
with these registers at inappropriate moments. Snap shot should be a valid
implementation choice though.
Given we aren't currently that defensive against the OS doing crazy things I don't
mind pushing that snapshot thing to a follow up patch. Maybe merge into this once
it's ready.
