[v3 00/26] Add VT-d Posted-Interrupts support

[v3 00/26] Add VT-d Posted-Interrupts support

[Feng Wu]

VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in the following URL:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/vt-directed-io-spec.html

v1->v2:
* Use VFIO framework to enable this feature, the VFIO part of this series is
  base on Eric's patch "[PATCH v3 0/8] KVM-VFIO IRQ forward control"
* Rebase this patchset on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git,
  then revise some irq logic based on the new hierarchy irqdomain patches provided
  by Jiang Liu <jiang.liu-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/CA@public.gmane.org>

v2->v3:
* Adjust the Posted-interrupts Descriptor updating logic when vCPU is
  preempted or blocked.
* KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POSTING_IRQ --> KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POST_IRQ
* __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_KVM_VFIO_POSTING --> __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_KVM_VFIO_POST
* Add KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_UNPOST_IRQ attribute for VFIO irq, which
  can be used to change back to remapping mode.
* Fix typo

This patch series is made of the following groups:
1-6: Some preparation changes in iommu and irq component, this is based on the
     new hierarchy irqdomain logic.
7-9, 26: IOMMU changes for VT-d Posted-Interrupts, such as, feature detection,
          command line parameter.
10-17, 22-25: Changes related to KVM itself.
18-20: Changes in VFIO component, this part was previously sent out as
"[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] kvm-vfio: implement the vfio skeleton for VT-d Posted-Interrupts"

Does this need to be a function call? Or could we just have a set of
flags in the irq_remap_ops instead, with less overhead to check them?

Sounds a good idea, I will follow this in the next post! Thanks for the comments!

[v3 01/26] genirq: Introduce irq_set_vcpu_affinity() to target an interrupt to a VCPU

[Feng Wu]

With Posted-Interrupts support in Intel CPU and IOMMU, an external
interrupt from assigned-devices could be directly delivered to a
virtual CPU in a virtual machine. Instead of hacking KVM and Intel
IOMMU drivers, we propose a platform independent interface to target
an interrupt to a specific virtual CPU in a virtual machine, or set
virtual CPU affinity for an interrupt.

By adopting this new interface and the hierarchy irqdomain, we could
easily support posted-interrupts on Intel platforms, and also provide
flexible enough interfaces for other platforms to support similar
features.

We may also cooperate between set_affinity() and set_vcpu_affinity()
in IRQ core or irq chip drivers.

Here is the usage scenario for this interface:
Guest update MSI/MSI-X interrupt configuration
	-->QEMU and KVM handle this
	-->KVM call this interface (passing posted interrupts descriptor
	   and guest vector)
	-->irq core will transfer the control to IOMMU
	-->IOMMU will do the real work of updating IRTE (IRTE has new
	   format for VT-d Posted-Interrupts)

I think it makes most sense for this to go along with the other patches

Thanks a lot for your Ack, David!

I cannot find a reason why we need a barrier here, since 'irte_pi' is only a local
variant here, the real operation to program hardware occurs in modify_irte(), in
which spin lock is acquired, this means the there is an implicit barrier there.

Thanks,
Feng

[v3 06/26] iommu, x86: No need to migrating irq for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

[Feng Wu]

We don't need to migrate the irqs for VT-d Posted-Interrupts here.
When 'pst' is set in IRTE, the associated irq will be posted to
guests instead of interrupt remapping. The destination of the
interrupt is set in Posted-Interrupts Descriptor, and the migration
happens during vCPU scheduling.

However, we still update the cached irte here, which can be used
when changing back to remapping mode.

If the IRQ is posted, its affinity is controlled by guest (irq <---> vCPU <----> pCPU),
it has no effect when host changes its affinity.

That's the problem: User is able to changes it in host but it never takes effect since it is actually controlled by guest. I guess it will break the IRQ balance too.

I don't think that's a problem.

Controlling the affinity in the host affects which CPU in the host takes
care of signaling the guest.

If this signaling is done directly by the chipset, there is no need to
do anything in the host and thus the host affinity can be bypassed.

I don't quite understand it. If user set an interrupt's affinity to a CPU, but he still see the interrupt delivers to other CPUs in host. Do you think it is a right behavior?

No, the interrupt is not delivered at all in the host.  Normally you'd have:

- interrupt delivered to CPU from host affinity

- VFIO interrupt handler writes to irqfd

- interrupt delivered to vCPU from guest affinity

Here, you just skip the first two steps.  The interrupt is delivered to
the thread that is running the vCPU directly, so the host affinity is
bypassed entirely.

... unless you are considering the case where the vCPU is blocked and
the host is processing the posted interrupt wakeup vector.  In that case
yes, it would be better to set NDST to a CPU matching the host affinity.
 But it would be handled in patch 24.  We also have the same problem
with lowest-priority interrupts; likely the host has configured the
interrupt affinity for any CPU.  So we can do it later when we add
vector hashing support.  In the meanwhile, Feng, please add a FIXME comment.

Does this make sense?

In my understanding, wakeup vector should have no relationship with the
host affinity of the irq. Wakeup notification event should be delivered to
the pCPU which the vCPU was blocked on. And in kernel's point of view,
the irq is not associated with the wakeup vector, right?

That is correct indeed.  It is not associated to the wakeup vector,
hence this patch is right, I think.

However, the wakeup vector has the same function as the VFIO interrupt
handler, so you could argue that it is tied to the host affinity rather
than the guest.  Let's wait for Yang to answer.

Actually, that's my original question too. I am wondering what happens if the user changes the assigned device's affinity in host's /proc/irq/? If ignore it is acceptable, then this patch is ok. But it seems the discussion out of my scope, need some experts to tell us their idea since it will impact the user experience.

Hi Yang,
	Originally we have a proposal to return failure when user
sets IRQ affinity through native OS interfaces if an IRQ is in PI
mode. But that proposal will break CPU hot-removal because OS needs
to migrate away all IRQs binding to the CPU to be offlined. Then we
propose saving user IRQ affinity setting without changing hardware
configuration (keeping PI configuration). Later when PI mode is
disabled, the cached affinity setting will be used to setup IRQ
destination for native OS. On the other hand, for IRQ in PI mode,
it won't be delivered to native OS, so user may not sense that
the IRQ is delivered to CPUs other than those in the affinity set.
In that aspect, I think it's acceptable:)

The IRQ is still there but will be delivered to host in the form of PI event(if the VCPU is running in root-mode). I am not sure whether those interrupts should be reflected in /proc/interrupts? If the answer is yes, then which entries should be used, a new PI entry or use the original IRQ entry?

Yes, if all of you guys(especially the IRQ maintainer) are think it is acceptable then we can follow current implementation and document it.

Even though, setting the affinity of the IRQ in host should not affect the destination of the
PI event (normal notification event of wakeup notification event), because the destination
of the PI event is determined in NDST field of Posted-interrupts descriptor and PI notification
vector is global. Just had a discussion with Jiang offline, maybe we can add the statistics
information for the notification vector in /proc/interrupts just like any other global
interrupts.

This is your implementation. To me, disable PI if the VCPU is going to 
run in the CPU out of IRQ affinity bitmap also is acceptable. And it will 
keep the user interface looks the same as before.

Can you guys help to review this patch? Really appreciate if you can give

You are right, the native interrupt statistics will become inaccurate.
Maybe some document about this behavior is preferred.

[v3 09/26] iommu, x86: define irq_remapping_cap()

[Feng Wu]

This patch adds a new interface irq_remapping_cap() to detect
whether irq remapping supports new features, such as VT-d
Posted-Interrupts. We export this function out, so that KVM
code can check this and use this mechanism properly.

[v3 13/26] KVM: Define a new interface kvm_find_dest_vcpu() for VT-d PI

[Feng Wu]

This patch defines a new interface kvm_find_dest_vcpu for
VT-d PI, which can returns the destination vCPU of the
interrupt for guests.

Since VT-d PI cannot handle broadcast/multicast interrupt,
Here we only handle Fixed and Lowest priority interrupts.

The current method of handling guest lowest priority interrtups
is to use a counter 'apic_arb_prio' for each vCPU, we choose the
vCPU with smallest 'apic_arb_prio' and then increase it by 1.
However, for VT-d PI, we cannot re-use this, since we no longer
have control to 'apic_arb_prio' with posted interrupt direct
delivery by Hardware.

Here, we introduce a similar way with 'apic_arb_prio' to handle
guest lowest priority interrtups when VT-d PI is used. Here is the
ideas:
- Each vCPU has a counter 'round_robin_counter'.
- When guests sets an interrupts to lowest priority, we choose
the vCPU with smallest 'round_robin_counter' as the destination,
then increase it.

How this can work well? All subsequent interrupts are delivered to one vCPU? It shouldn't be the best solution, need more consideration. Also, I think you should take the apic_arb_prio into consider since the priority is for the whole vCPU not for one interrupt.

Yang

Well, it's a hardware limitation.  The alternative (which is easy to
implement) is to only do PI for single-CPU interrupts.  This should work
well for multiqueue NICs (and of course for UP guests :)), so perhaps
it's a good idea to only support that as a first attempt.

Agree, it is limited by hardware. But lowest priority distributes the interrupt more efficient than fixed mode. And current implementation more likes to switch the lowest priority mode to fixed mode. In case of interrupt intensive environment, this may be a bottleneck and VM may not benefit greatly from VT-d PI. But agree again, it is really a hardware limitation.

The more easy way is to deliver the interrupt to the first matched VCPU we find. The round_robin_counter really helps nothing here since the interrupt is delivered by hardware directly.

In fact, the current solution was discussed with Rajesh in the cc List, here is Rajesh's original words:

"When you see a guest requesting a lowest priority interrupts (by programming the virtual IOAPIC, or by programming the virtual MSI/MSI-X registers), have KVM associate it to a vCPU.  Or, put another way, use the 'apic_arb_prio' method you describe below, but instead of using it at time of interrupt (which you no longer have control with posted interrupt direct delivery), do it at time of initializing the interrupt resource.  This way, if the guest asks for 4 lowest priority interrupts, and say you a guest with two vCPUs, the first interrupt request will be serviced by KVM by assigning it through posting to vCPU0, the next one goes to vCPU1, the next one would go back to vCPU0, and so forth..  You could also choose to do this based on vector hashing instead of round-robin."

Paolo, what do you mean by "single-CPU interrupts"? Do you mean we don't
support lowest priority interrupts for PI? But Linux OS uses lowest priority
for most of the case? If so, we can hardly get benefit from this feature for
Linux guest OS.

It should be same idea as I mentioned on another thread: deliver the interrupt to a single CPU(maybe the first matched VCPU?)

You can post lowest priority interrupts if they are delivered to a
single CPU, in which case they are effectively fixed priority.

If they are broadcast to multiple CPUs, do not post them.

In my understanding, lowest priority interrupts are always delivered to a
Single CPU, we need to find the right destination CPU from the cpumask.
This is what I do in this patch. Did I misunderstanding something in your
Comments? Thanks a lot!

Actually, we don't support posting broadcast/multicast interrupts, because
the interrupt is associated with one Posted-interrupts descriptor, then one
vCPU.

Thanks,
Feng

Yes, but which CPU however differs every time the interrupt is
delivered.  So the emulation here is a bit poor.  For now, please limit
PI to fixed interrupts.

Do you mean we don't support Lowest priority interrupts? As I mentioned before,
Lowest priority interrupts is widely used in Linux, so I think supporting lowest priority
interrupts is very important for Linux guest OS. Do you have any ideas/suggestions about
how to support Lowest priority interrupts for PI? Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I am not quite understand this. I still don't understand the "single CPU" here.
Lowest priority interrupts always have a cpumask which contains multiple CPU.

Yes, and those need not be accelerated.  But what if you set affinity to
a single CPU?

I mean if the guest (via irqbalance and /proc/irq/) configures affinity
to a single vCPU.  In that case, you can use PI.

The problem is we still need to support PI with lowest priority delivery mode
even if guest does not configure irq affinity via /proc/irq/. Don't we?

There are two points relevant to this patch in new KVM's implementation,
("KVM: x86: amend APIC lowest priority arbitration",
 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/9/362)

1) lowest priority depends on TPR
2) there is no need for balancing

(1) has to be considered with PI as well.
I kept (2) to avoid whining from people building on that behaviour, but
lowest priority backed by PI could be transparent without it.

Patch below removes the balancing, but I am not sure this is a price we
allowed ourselves to pay ... what are your opinions?


---8<---
KVM: x86: don't balance lowest priority interrupts

Balancing is not mandated by specification and real hardware most likely
doesn't do it.  We break backward compatibility to allow optimizations.
(Posted interrupts can deliver to only one fixed destination.)

I meant that we need to recompute PI entries for lowest priority
interrupts every time guest's TPR changes.

Luckily, Linux doesn't use TPR, but other OS might be a reason to drop
lowest priority from PI optimizations.  (Or make it more complicated.)

Doing vector hashing is a possibility as well.  I would like to know
what existing chipsets do in practice, then we can mimic it.

When looking at /proc/interrupts from time to time, I have only seen
interrupts landing on the first CPU of the set.

We could also distinguish between AMD and Intel ...
AMD should deliver to the highest APIC ID.
(If we still need to decide after focus processor and APR checks.)

I'll try to check using a more trustworthy approach.

In fact, the real hardware may do lowest priority in round robin way, the new
hardware even doesn't consider the TPR for lowest priority interrupts delivery.

As discussed with Paolo before, I will submit a patch to support lowest priority for PI
after this series is merged.

Yes, but we won't emulate round robin with PI and I think it is wrong to
have backends with significantly different guest-visible behaviors.

A bold move ... what hardware was the first to do so?

Sure, I see only two good solutions though
 1) don't optimize lowest priority with PI
 2) don't balance lowest priority

I think it was starting with Nehalem.

As discussed with Paolo before, as the first stage, we only support single-CPU
lowest priority for PI, since this is a new hardware feature enabling, Paolo trends
to do simple things in the beginning. Then we will support full lowest priority for
it, such as, using vector hashing (this is one method of what hardware do for
lowest priority today), I need to get some detailed information about this from
hardware guys before enabling it.

Thanks,

Thanks,  (Could be that QPI can't inform about TPR changes anymore ...)

I played with Linux's TPR on Haswell and found that is has no effect.

I agree, that is the best we can do without changing lowest priority.

I wanted to avoid a future solution that would introduce two behaviors
for lowest priority (round robin and something).
Round robin (anything dynamic) can't be done with PI, hence the question
if we can remove it.

I wasn't able to confirm hashing, is it a recent addition?
I'm not sure we want it then:  OS still has to take care of proper
distribution, being predictable is better than uncertain gains, and
we'll save code.

The same should apply to hardware though ... do you know the reasons
behind vector hashing?

Thank you.

Sorry for jumping into the discussion, but doesn’t it depend on
IA32_MISC_ENABLE[23]? This bit disables xTPR messages. On my machine it is
set (probably by the BIOS), but since there is no IA32_MISC_ENABLE is not
locked for changes, the OS can control it.

Thanks, I didn't know about it.
On Ivy Bridge EP (the only modern machine at hand), the bit was set by
default.  After clearing it, TPR still had no effect.

The most relevant mention of xTPR I found is related to FSB [1].
[2] isn't enlightening, so there might be more from QPI-era ...

[v3 15/26] KVM: add interfaces to control PI outside vmx

[Feng Wu]

This patch adds pi_clear_sn and pi_set_sn to struct kvm_x86_ops,
so we can set/clear SN outside vmx.

If possible, just make this "struct kvm_irq_routing_table;" and pull

Do you mean move the definition of struct kvm_irq_routing_table

Move

struct kvm_irq_routing_table;

to include/linux/kvm_types.h.  In kvm_host.h, leave the #ifdef with the
full definition but drop the #else.

Paolo, Thanks for the explanation. I notice that " struct kvm_irq_routing_table;"
is already in include/linux/kvm_types.h.

[v3 18/26] KVM: kvm-vfio: User API for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

[Feng Wu]

This patch adds and documents two new attributes
KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POST_IRQ and KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_UNPOST_IRQ
in KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE group. The new attributes are used for
VT-d Posted-Interrupts.

When guest OS changes the interrupt configuration for an
assigned device, such as, MSI/MSIx data/address fields,
QEMU will use this IRQ attribute to tell KVM to update the
related IRTE according the VT-d Posted-Interrrupts Specification,
such as, the guest vector should be updated in the related IRTE.

[v3 19/26] KVM: kvm-vfio: implement the VFIO skeleton for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

[Feng Wu]

This patch adds the kvm-vfio interface for VT-d Posted-Interrrupts.
When guests update MSI/MSI-x information for an assigned-device,
QEMU will use KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POST_IRQ attribute to setup
IRTE for VT-d PI. Userspace program can also use
KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_UNPOST_IRQ to change back to irq remapping mode.
This patch implements these IRQ attributes.

[v3 21/26] x86, irq: Define a global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

[Feng Wu]

Currently, we use a global vector as the Posted-Interrupts
Notification Event for all the vCPUs in the system. We need
to introduce another global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrtups,
which will be used to wakeup the sleep vCPU when an external
interrupt from a direct-assigned device happens for that vCPU.

Hi Feng, 

Since the idea of two global vectors mechanism is from me, please add me to the comments.

Stylistic nitpick: we generally don't explicitly initialize
global/static pointer variables to NULL (that happens automatically anyway.)

Why an additional vector is necessary?

Can't you simply wakeup the vcpu from kvm_posted_intr_ipi, the posted
interrupt vector handler ?

[v3 22/26] KVM: Define a wakeup worker thread for vCPU

[v3 23/26] KVM: Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU is preempted

[Feng Wu]

This patch updates the Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU
is preempted.

sched out:
- Set 'SN' to suppress furture non-urgent interrupts posted for
the vCPU.

sched in:
- Clear 'SN'
- Change NDST if vCPU is scheduled to a different CPU
- Set 'NV' to POSTED_INTR_VECTOR

This is quite expensive.  Just use an u64 for old_control and
new_control, instead of a full struct.

This can be simply new.sn = 0.  It does not need atomic operations.

Same in patch 24 (if needed at all there---see the reply there).

Here you do not need old/new at all because...

this can do pi_set_sn directly on pi_desc, without the cmpxchg.

Thanks for your comments, Paolo!

If we use u64 new_control, we cannot use new.sn any more.
Maybe we can change the struct pi_desc {} like this:

typedef struct pid_control{
        u64     on      : 1,
        sn      : 1,
        rsvd_1  : 13,
        ndm     : 1,
        nv      : 8,
        rsvd_2  : 8,
        ndst    : 32;
}pid_control_t;

struct pi_desc {
        u32 pir[8];     /* Posted interrupt requested */
		pid_control_t control;
        u32 rsvd[6];
} __aligned(64);


Then we can define pid_control_t new_control, old_control. And use new_control.sn = 0.

What is your opinon?

Thanks,
Feng

Probably something like this to keep the union:

typedef union pid_control {
	u64 full;
	struct {
		u64 on : 1,
		...
	} fields;
};

Sure.  Alternatively, keep using struct pi_desc new; just
do not zero it, nor access any field outide the control word.

What wakes the vcpu in the case of a non-urgent interrupt, then?

I wonder how is software suppose to configure the urgent/non-urgent
flag. Can you give examples of (hypothetical) urgent and non-urgent
interrupts.

> sched in:

What about:

POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt handler:
- Wakeup vcpu.
- Set 'SN' to suppress future interrupts.

HLT emulation entry:
- Clear 'SN' to receive VT-d interrupt notification.

Here we set 'SN' when vCPU's state is transmitted from running to
runnable (waiting in the runqueue), after the vCPU is chosen to run
again, the 'SN' will be clear. So no need to wakeup it explicitly.

Well, urgent and non-urgent flag is supported in hardware, I think the
original purpose of urgent interrupts is for real time usage. Then, when
such urgent interrupts happen, we can change the behavior of the
scheduler and make the related vCPU run immediately. However, from
software's point of view, we didn't find a clear picture about which
interrupts should be urgent and how to configure it, so we don't support
this currently.

- If the vCPU is still running (not preempted), we don't need
to wakeup it. 
- In POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt handler, it is a little hard
to get vCPU related information, even if we get, it is not accurate
and may harm the performance. (need search)

> - Set 'SN' to suppress future interrupts.
We only need to set 'SN' when the vCPU is waiting on the runqueue,
So seems set 'SN' in this handler is not a good idea.

[v3 24/26] KVM: Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU is blocked

[Feng Wu]

This patch updates the Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU
is blocked.

pre-block:
- Add the vCPU to the blocked per-CPU list
- Clear 'SN'
- Set 'NV' to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR

post-block:
- Remove the vCPU from the per-CPU list

Should SN be already clear (and NV set to POSTED_INTR_VECTOR)?  Can it
happen that you go from sched-out to blocked without doing a sched-in first?

In fact, if this is possible, what happens if vcpu->preempted &&
vcpu->blocked?

I think the SN bit should be clear here, Adding it here is just to make sure
SN is clear when vCPU is blocked, so it can receive wakeup notification event later.

I cannot imagine this scenario, can you please be more specific? Thanks a lot!

> In fact, if this is possible, what happens if vcpu->preempted &&
> vcpu->blocked?

In fact, vcpu->preempted && vcpu->blocked happens sometimes, but I think there is
no issues. Please refer to the following case:

kvm_vcpu_block() 
	-> vcpu->blocked = true;
	-> prepare_to_wait(&vcpu->wq, &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

	before schedule() is called, this vcpu is woken up by another guy, so
	the state of the vcpu associated thread is changed to TASK_RUNNING,
	then preemption happens after interrupts or the following schedule() is
	hit, this will call kvm_sched_out(), in which current->state == TASK_RUNNING
	and vcpu->preempted is set to true. So now vcpu->preempted and vcpu->blocked
	are both true. In vmx_vcpu_put(), we will check vcpu->preempted first, so
	the vCPU will not be blocked, and the vcpu->blocked will be set the false in
	vmx_vcpu_load().

	But maybe I need do a little change to the vmx_vcpu_load() like below:

                /*
                 * Delete the vCPU from the related wakeup queue
                 * if we are resuming from blocked state
                 */
                if (vcpu->blocked) {
                        vcpu->blocked = false;
+						/* if wakeup_cpu == -1, the vcpu is currently not blocked on any
+						  pCPU, don't need dequeue here */
+						if (vcpu->wakeup_cpu != -1) {
               		         spin_lock_irqsave(&per_cpu(blocked_vcpu_on_cpu_lock,
                                vcpu->wakeup_cpu), flags);
                    	     list_del(&vcpu->blocked_vcpu_list);
                        	 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&per_cpu(blocked_vcpu_on_cpu_lock,
                                vcpu->wakeup_cpu), flags);
                        	 vcpu->wakeup_cpu = -1;
+						}
                }

Any ideas about this? Thanks a lot!

Then, please, WARN if the SN bit is set inside the if (vcpu->blocked).
Inside that if you can just add the vCPU to the blocked list on vcpu_put.

I cannot either. :)  But it would be the case where SN is not cleared.
So we agree that it cannot happen.

I agree that there should be no issues.  But if it can happen, it's better:

1) to separate the handling of preemption and blocking: preemption
handles SN/NV/NDST, blocking handles the wakeup list.

2) to change this

Sorry, I don't quite understand this.

I think handling of preemption and blocking is separated in vmx_vcpu_put().
For vmx_vcpu_load(), the handling of SN/NV/NDST is common for preemption
and blocking.

This can be done exclusively on HLT emulation, correct? (that is, on
entry to HLT and exit from HLT).

If the vcpu is scheduled out for any other reason (transition to
userspace or transition to other thread), it will eventually resume
execution. And in that case, continuation of execution does not depend
on the event (VT-d interrupt) notification.

There is a race window with the code above, I believe.

Looping through all blocked vcpus does not scale:
Can you allocate more vectors and then multiplex those
vectors amongst the HLT'ed vcpus? 

It seems there is a bunch free:

commit 52aec3308db85f4e9f5c8b9f5dc4fbd0138c6fa4
Author: Alex Shi <alex.shi-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

    x86/tlb: replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR

Can you add only vcpus which have posted IRTEs that point to this pCPU
to the HLT'ed vcpu lists? (so for example, vcpus without assigned
devices are not part of the list).

This is a hot fast path. You can set KVM_REQ_EVENT from wakeup_handler.

Please remove blocked and wakeup_cpu, they should not be necessary.

Do you mean the following?
In kvm_emulate_halt(), we do:
1. Add vCPU in the blocking list
2. Clear 'SN'
3. set 'NV' to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR

In __vcpu_run(), after kvm_vcpu_block(), we remove the vCPU from the
Bloc king list.

Yes, I think this is true for my current implementation, right?

I did careful code review back and forth for the above code, It will
be highly appreciated if you can point out the race window!

I am a little confused about this, can you elaborate it a bit more?

Is it easy to find whether a vCPU (or the associated domain) has assigned devices?
If so, we can only add those vCPUs with assigned devices.

I am afraid Setting KVM_REQ_EVENT from wakeup_handler doesn't help much,
if vCPU is running in ROOT mode, and VT-d hardware issues an notification event,
POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt handler will be called.

Again, POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt handler may be called very frequently,
it is a little hard to get vCPU related information in it, even if we get, it is not
accurate and may harm the performance.(need search)

Why do you think wakeup_cpu is not needed, when vCPU is blocked, 
wakeup_cpu saves the cpu which the vCPU is blocked on, after vCPU
is woken up, it can run on a different cpu, so we need wakeup_cpu to
find the right list to wake up the vCPU.

So the remapping HW sees either POSTED_INTR_VECTOR or 
POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR.

You should:

1. Set POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR.
2. Check for PIR / ON bit, which might have been set by
POSTED_INTR_VECTOR notification.
3. emulate HLT.

Picture the following overcommitment scenario:

* High ratio of vCPUs/pCPUs, in the ratio 128/1 (this is exaggerated
to demonstrate the issue).
* Every VT-d interrupt is going to scan 128 entries in the list.

Moreover, the test:

		if (pi_test_on(pi_desc) == 1)
			kvm_vcpu_kick(vcpu);

Can trigger for vCPUs which have not been waken up due 
to VT-d interrupts, but for other interrupts.

You can allocate, say 16 vectors on the pCPU for VT-d interrupts:

POSTED_INTERRUPT_WAKEUP_VECTOR_1, POSTED_INTERRUPT_WAKEUP_VECTOR_2,
...

If vCPU is in root mode, remapping HW will find IRTE configured with
vector == POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR, use that vector, which will
VM-exit, and execute the interrupt handler wakeup_handler. Right?

The point of this comment is that you can keep the 

"if (kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update)
	kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update(vcpu,
			kvm_lapic_find_highest_irr(vcpu));
"

Code inside KVM_REQ_EVENT handling section of vcpu_run, as long as
wakeup_handler sets KVM_REQ_EVENT.

If the vCPU was moved it should have updated IRTE destination field
to the pCPU which it has moved to?

I think about this for some time, and I feel this may be another solution
to implement it. Do you mind sharing your ideas about why do you think
this alternative is better than the current one? Thanks a lot!

My original idea for pre-block operation is:
1. Add vCPU to the per-cpu blocking list. Here is the code for this in my patch:
+                       vcpu->wakeup_cpu = vcpu->cpu;
+                       spin_lock_irqsave(&per_cpu(blocked_vcpu_on_cpu_lock,
+                                         vcpu->wakeup_cpu), flags);
+                       list_add_tail(&vcpu->blocked_vcpu_list,
+                                     &per_cpu(blocked_vcpu_on_cpu,
+                                     vcpu->wakeup_cpu));
+                       spin_unlock_irqrestore(
+                                       &per_cpu(blocked_vcpu_on_cpu_lock,
+                                       vcpu->wakeup_cpu), flags);
2. Update Posted-interrupt descriptor, here is the code in my patch:
+                       do {
+                               old.control = new.control = pi_desc->control;
+
+                               /*
+                                * We should not block the vCPU if
+                                * an interrupt is posted for it.
+                                */
+                               if (pi_test_on(pi_desc) == 1) {
+                                       /*
+                                        * We need schedule the wakeup worker
+                                        * on a different cpu other than
+                                        * vcpu->cpu, because in some case,
+                                        * schedule_work() will call
+                                        * try_to_wake_up() which needs acquire
+                                        * the rq lock. This can cause deadlock.

If PIR/ON bit is set by POSTED_INTR_VECTOR notification during the above operation, we will stop
blocking the vCPU like about. But seems I missed something in the above code which should be in
my mind from the beginning, I should add a 'break' in the end the above ' if (pi_test_on(pi_desc) == 1) {}',
so in this case, the 'NV' filed remains unchanged.

Global vector is a limited resources in the system, and this involves
common x86 interrupt code changes. I am not sure we can allocate
so many dedicated global vector for KVM usage.

There are two cases:
Case 1: vCPU is blocked, so it is in root mode, this is what you described above.
Case 2, vCPU is running in root mode, such as, handling vm-exits, in this case,
the notification vector is 'POSTED_INTR_VECTOR', and if external interrupts
from assigned devices happen, the handled of 'POSTED_INTR_VECTOR' will
be called ( it is 'smp_kvm_posted_intr_ipi' in fact), this routine doesn't need
do real things, since the pending interrupts in PIR will be synced to vIRR before
VM-Entry (this code have already been there when enabling CPU-side
posted-interrupt along with APICv). Like what I said before, it is a little hard to
get vCPU related information in it, even if we get, it is not accurate and may harm
the performance.(need search)

So only setting KVM_REQ_EVENT in wakeup_handler cannot cover the notification
event for 'POSTED_INTR_VECTOR'.

Every time a vCPU is scheduled to a new pCPU, the IRTE destination filed
would be updated accordingly. 

When vCPU is blocked. To wake up the blocked vCPU, we need to find which
list the vCPU is blocked on, and this is what wakeup_cpu used for?

Two reasons:

1) Because it does not add overhead to vcpu_puts thats are not due to
HLT. Doing so removes the "vcpu->blocked" variable (its implicit in the 
code anyway).
2) Easier to spot races.

Do you have any reason why having the code at vcpu_put/vcpu_load is     
better than the proposal to have the code at kvm_vcpu_block?

Right have to think carefully about all cases.

Why not? Have KVM use all free vectors (so if vectors are necessary for
other purposes, people should shrink the KVM vector pool).

BTW the Intel docs talk about that ("one vector per vCPU").

OK can you set KVM_REQ_EVENT in case the ON bit is set,
after disabling interrupts ?

kvm_lapic_find_highest_irr(vcpu) eats some cache 
(4 cachelines) versus 1 cacheline for reading ON bit.

Right, perhaps prev_vcpu is a better name.

I think your proposal is good, I just want to better understand your idea here.:)

One thing, even we put the code to kvm_vcpu_block, we still need to add code
at vcpu_put/vcpu_load for the preemption case like what I did now.

If we want to allocate more global vector for this usage, we need hpa's
input about it. Peter, what is your opinion?

Yes, the Spec talks about this, but it is more complex using one vector per vCPU.

Currently, the following code is executed before local_irq_disable() is called,
so do you mean 1)moving local_irq_disable() to the place before it. 2) after interrupt
is disabled, set KVM_REQ_EVENT in case the ON bit is set?

"if (kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update)
	kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update(vcpu,
			kvm_lapic_find_highest_irr(vcpu));

Do you mean "prev_pcpu"?

Reduce the overhead of vcpu sched in / vcpu sched out, basically.

2) after interrupt is disabled, set KVM_REQ_EVENT in case the ON bit 
is set.

Here is my understanding about your comments here:
- Disable interrupts
- Check 'ON'
- Set KVM_REQ_EVENT if 'ON' is set

Then we can put the above code inside " if (kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu) || req_int_win) "
just like it used to be. However, I still have some questions about this comment:

1. Where should I set KVM_REQ_EVENT? In function vcpu_enter_guest(), or other places?
If in vcpu_enter_guest(), since currently local_irq_disable() is called after 'KVM_REQ_EVENT'
is checked, is it helpful to set KVM_REQ_EVENT after local_irq_disable() is called?
2. 'ON' is set by VT-d hardware, it can be set even when interrupt is disabled (the related bit in PIR is also set).
So does it make sense to check 'ON' and set KVM_REQ_EVENT accordingly after interrupt is disabled?

I might miss something in your comments, if so please point out. Thanks a lot!

Feng

See below:

        local_irq_disable();

	*** add code here ***

        if (vcpu->mode == EXITING_GUEST_MODE || vcpu->requests
						^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            || need_resched() || signal_pending(current)) {
                vcpu->mode = OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE;
                smp_wmb();
                local_irq_enable();
                preempt_enable();
                vcpu->srcu_idx = srcu_read_lock(&vcpu->kvm->srcu);
                r = 1;
                goto cancel_injection;
        }

> 2. 'ON' is set by VT-d hardware, it can be set even when interrupt is disabled (the related bit in PIR is also set).

Yes, we are checking if the HW has set an interrupt in PIR while
outside VM (which requires PIR->VIRR transfer by software).

If the interrupt it set by hardware after local_irq_disable(), 
VMX-entry will handle the interrupt and perform the PIR->VIRR
transfer and reevaluate interrupts, injecting to guest 
if necessary, is that correct ?

> So does it make sense to check 'ON' and set KVM_REQ_EVENT accordingly after interrupt is disabled?

To replace the costly 

+            */
+           if (kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update)
+                   kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update(vcpu,
+                           kvm_lapic_find_highest_irr(vcpu));

Yes, i think so.

So we need add code like the following here, right?

          if ('ON' is set)
              kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu);

After adding the "checking ON and setting KVM_REQ_EVENT" operations listed in my
comments above, do you mean we still need to keep the costly code above
inside "if (kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu) || req_int_win) {}" in function
vcpu_enter_guest() as it used to be? If yes, my question is what is the exact purpose
of "checking ON and setting KVM_REQ_EVENT" operations? Here is the code flow in
vcpu_enter_guest():

1. Check KVM_REQ_EVENT, if it is set, sync pir->virr
2. Disable interrupts
3. Check ON and set KVM_REQ_EVENT -- Here, we set KVM_REQ_EVENT, but it is
checked in the step 1, which means, we cannot get any benefits even we set it here,
since the "pir->virr" sync operation was done in step 1, between step 3 and VM-Entry,
we don't synchronize the pir to virr. So even we set KVM_REQ_EVENT here, the interrupts
remaining in PIR cannot be delivered to guest during this VM-Entry, right?

Please check point *1 above. The code will go back to  

"if (kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu)"

And perform the pir->virr sync.

Ah, yes, that is the point I was missing. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi Marcelo,

I changed the code as above, then I found that the ping latency was extremely big, (70ms - 400ms).
I digged into it and got the root cause. We cannot use "checking-on" as the judgment, since 'ON'
can be cleared by hypervisor software in lots of places. In this case, KVM_REQ_EVENT cannot be
set when we check 'ON' bit, hence the interrupts are not injected to the guest in time.

Please refer to the following code, in which 'ON' bit can be cleared:

apic_find_highest_irr () --> vmx_sync_pir_to_irr () --> pi_test_and_clear_on()

Searching from the code step by step, apic_find_highest_irr() can be called by many other guys.

Thanks,
Feng

Don't see this is needed, can use the existing POSTED_INTR_VECTOR:

If in guest mode, IPI will be handled in VMX non-root by performed
PIR->IRR transfer.

If outside guest mode, POSTED_INTR_VECTOR IPI will be handled by host
which can wakeup the guest (in case it is halted).

Please see the following scenario:

1. vCPU0 is running on pCPU0
2. vCPU0 is halted and vCPU1 is currently running on pCPU0
3. An interrupt occurs for vCPU0, if we still use POSTED_INTR_VECTOR
for vCPU0, the notification event for vCPU0 (the event will go to pCPU1)
will be consumed by vCPU1 incorrectly. The worst case is that vCPU0
will never be woken up again since the wakeup event for it is always
consumed by other vCPUs incorrectly.

Thanks,
Feng

Ouch, yes.

[v3 25/26] KVM: Suppress posted-interrupt when 'SN' is set

[Feng Wu]

Currently, we don't support urgent interrupt, all interrupts
are recognized as non-urgent interrupt, so we cannot send
posted-interrupt when 'SN' is set.

Can this happen?  If the vcpu is in guest mode, it cannot have been
scheduled out, and that's the only case when SN is set.

Currently, the only place where SN is set is vCPU is preempted and waiting for
the next scheduling in the runqueue. But I am not sure whether we need to
set SN for other purpose in future. Adding SN checking here is just to follow
the Spec. non-urgent interrupts are suppressed when SN is set.

I would change that to a WARN_ON_ONCE then.

If the vCPU is preempted, shouldn't the subsequent be ignored? What happens if a PI is occurs when vCPU is preempted?

If a vCPU is preempted, the 'SN' bit is set, the subsequent interrupts are
suppressed for posting.

I mean what happens if we don't set SN bit. From my point, if preempter already disabled the interrupt, it is ok to leave SN bit as zero. But if preempter enabled the interrupt, doesn't this mean he allow interrupt to happen? BTW, since there already has ON bit, so this means there only have one interrupt arrived at most and it doesn't hurt performance. Do we really need to set SN bit?

See this scenario:
vCPU0 is running on pCPU0
--> vCPU0 is preempted by vCPU1
--> Then vCPU1 is running on pCPU0 and vCPU0 is waiting for schedule in runqueue

If the we don't set SN for vCPU0, then all subsequent interrupts for vCPU0 is posted
to vCPU1, this will consume hardware and software efforts and in fact it is not needed
at all. If SN is set for vCPU0, VT-d hardware will not issue Notification Event for vCPU0
when an interrupt is for it, but just setting the related PIR bit.

The PI vector for vCPU1 is notification vector, but the PI vector for vCPU0 should be wakeup vector. Why vCPU1 will consume this PI event?

Wakeup vector is only used for blocking case, when vCPU is preempted
and waiting in the runqueue, the NV is the notification vector.

I see your point. But from performance point, if we can schedule the vCPU to another PCPU to handle the interrupt, it would helpful. But I remember current KVM will not schedule the vCPU in run queue (even though it got preempted) to another pCPU to run(Am I right?). So it may hard to do it.

KVM is using the Linux scheduler, when the preempted vCPU (in runqueue) is
scheduled again depends on the scheduling algorithm itself, I think it is a little
hard for us to get involved.

I think what you mentioned is a little like the urgent interrupt in VT-d PI Spec.
For this kind of interrupts, if an interrupt is coming for an preempted vCPU
(waiting in the run queue), we need to schedule the vCPU immediately. This
is some real time things. And we don't support urgent interrupt so far.

Yes. IIRC, if we use two global vectors mechanism properly, there should no need to use hardware urgent interrupt mechanism. :)

Yes.  If the vCPU is in the run queue, it means it exhausted its
quantum.  As Feng said, the scheduler can decide to migrate it to
another pCPU, or it can decide to leave it runnable but not start it.
KVM doesn't try to force the scheduler one way or the other.

If the vCPU is I/O bound, it will not exhaust its quantum and will not
be preempted.  It will block, and the wakeup vector will restart it.

I don't think urgent notifications are interesting.  If you want to do
real time work, pin the vCPU to a physical CPU, and isolate the pCPU
with isolcpus.  Then the vCPU will always be running.

I fear this conflicts somewhat with the irq-domain patches from Jiang
Liu. Once we worked this out (should happen soon) I'll have a look at
the VT-d posted interrupt patches.

Thanks a lot for your feedback on this. In fact, my patches is based on Jiang Liu's
irq-domain patches and has been discussed with Jiang offline. So I don't think
it will conflicts with Jiang's work. Anyway, any comments are welcome!

Hi Paolo, Alex, and other maintainers,

Since this series contain multiple subsystems, IOMMU, irq, x86, VFIO, KVM, etc.
I am wondering how you guys handled this case before? If all the patches are
reviewed and acked by the associated maintainer, are you only merge the patches
related to your own subsystem to your tree? However, you may also need get other
patches to make the build successful, so I am a little curious about how you guys
handle this? Thanks a lot!

Thanks,
Feng

Generally you need to split the patches into logical changes per
subsystem and submit them separately through the mailing list and
maintainer.  This helps to make sure the changes make sense and stand on
their own and aren't simply a hack to reach the end goal.  Submit what
you can in parallel, but expect that if you send patches dependent on
other, unmerged series, they will get ignored and will need to be resent
when the dependencies are resolved in -next.  Thanks,

Alex

Thanks a lot for your response, Alex! I am still waiting for comments for
the generic IRQ and IOMMU parts, after I got the comments, I will consider
your advice in the next post. Thank you!

If a new IOMMU is hotplugged now which doesn't support posted
interrupts, what happens?

Good question, Just had a offline discussion with Jiang Liu, actually, there
is the same question for IR. In the current implementation, If IR is in use
and a new IOMMU without IR capability is hotplugged, it will reject this
hotplugging. I think I can simple follow the same policy for PI.

Thanks,
Feng
