[ndctl PATCH 0/7] Add partitioning support for CXL memdevs

[ndctl PATCH 0/7] Add partitioning support for CXL memdevs

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

To support changing partitions on CXL memdevs, first provide access
to device partitioning info. The first 4 patches add accessors to all
the partition info a CXL command parser needs in order to validate
the command. This info is added to cxl list to assist the user in
creating valid partition requests.

# cxl list -MP
[
  {
    "memdev":"mem0",
    "pmem_size":0,
    "ram_size":273535729664,
    "partition":{
      "active_volatile_capacity":273535729664,
      "active_persistent_capacity":0,
      "next_volatile_capacity":268435456,
      "next_persistent_capacity":273267294208,
      "total_capacity":273535729664,
      "volatile_only_capacity":0,
      "persistent_only_capacity":0,
      "partition_alignment":268435456
    }
  }
]

Next introduce libcxl ioctl() interfaces for the SET_PARTITION_INFO
mailbox command and the new CXL command. cxl-cli does the constraints
checking. It does not offer the IMMEDIATE mode option since we do not
have driver support for that yet.

# cxl set-partition-info
 usage: cxl set-partition-info <mem0> [<mem1>..<memN>] [<options>]

    -v, --verbose         turn on debug
    -s, --volatile_size <n>
                          next volatile partition size in bytes

Guessing that a libcxl user could send the SET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox
command outside of cxl-cli tool, so a kernel patch that disables the
immediate bit, on the receiving end of the ioctl, follows.

It may be simpler to block the immediate bit in the libcxl API today,
(and as I write this cover letter I'm wondering just how far this goes
astray ;)) However, the kernel patch to peek in the payload sets us on
the path of inspecting set-partition-info mailbox commands in the future,
when immediate mode support is required.

Testing - so far I've only tested w one memdev in a Simics env. So,
next will be growing that Simics config, using cxl_test env, and 
adding a unit test.

Alison Schofield (7):
  libcxl: add GET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox command and accessors
  libcxl: add accessors for capacity fields of the IDENTIFY command
  libcxl: apply CXL_CAPACITY_MULTIPLIER to partition alignment field
  cxl: add memdev partition information to cxl-list
  libcxl: add interfaces for SET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox command
  ndctl, util: use 'unsigned long long' type in OPT_U64 define
  cxl: add command set-partition-info

[ndctl PATCH 1/7] libcxl: add GET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox command and accessors

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

Add libcxl APIs to create a new GET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox command, the
command output data structure (privately), and accessor APIs to return
the different fields in the partition info output.

I would rephrase this:

libcxl provides functions for C code to issue cxl mailbox commands as well as
parse the output returned.  Get partition info should be part of this API.

Add the libcxl get partition info mailbox support as well as an API to parse
the fields of the command returned.

All fields are specified in multiples of 256MB so also define a capacity
multiplier to convert the raw data into bytes.

why 'new'?  Why not:

cxl_cmd_get_partition_info()

?

These are pretty long function names.  :-/

I also wonder if the conversion to bytes should be reflected in the function
name.  Because returning 'cap' might imply to someone they are getting the raw
data field.

The "new" is the naming convention inherited from ndctl indicating the
allocation of a new command object. The motivation is to have a verb /
action in all of the APIs.

If you think those are long, how about:

cxl_cmd_health_info_get_media_powerloss_persistence_loss

The motivation here is to keep data structure layouts hidden behind
APIs to ease the maintenance of binary compatibility from one library
release and specification release to the next. The side effect though
is some long function names in places.

Just one nit here about the double verb 'get'. In such cases,
get_partition_info can just become 'partition_info'

e.g.: cxl_cmd_partition_info_get_active_volatile_cap(...

[ndctl PATCH 2/7] libcxl: add accessors for capacity fields of the IDENTIFY command

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

Add accessors to retrieve total capacity, volatile only capacity,
and persistent only capacity from the IDENTIFY mailbox command.
These values are useful when partitioning the device.

Reword:

The total capacity, volatile only capacity, and persistent only capacity are
required to properly formulate a set partition info command.

Provide functions to retrieve these values from the IDENTIFY command.  Like the
partition information commands these return the values in bytes.

Is there someplace that all the libcxl functions are documented?  Like the
other functions I would like to ensure the user knows these are returning
values in bytes.

There is a libcxl manpage, source at:
ndctl/Documentation/cxl/lib/libcxl.txt

Synopsis is:
#include <cxl/libcxl.h>
cc ... -lcxl

It describes how to use libcxl, ie alloc, submit, and get info back from
a command. I believe the intent is the user references cxl/libcxl.h to
find the accessors available. Along that line, it doesn't make any
sweeping statements about formats of data returned and I believe, based
on Dan's comments about the long descriptive names, that is by design.
ie. the name should say it all.

I'll rename these all to be _bytes instead of _capacity, as you
suggested in the prior patch.

[ndctl PATCH 3/7] libcxl: apply CXL_CAPACITY_MULTIPLIER to partition alignment field

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

The IDENTIFY mailbox command returns the partition alignment field
expressed in multiples of 256 MB. Use CXL_CAPACITY_MULTIPLIER when
returning this field.

This is in sync with all the other partitioning related fields using
the multiplier.

Interesting...

I don't think anyone is using this function just yet but this does technically
change the behavior of this function.

Will that break anyone or cxl-cli?

To me the fact that this was not in bytes implies that the original API of
libcxl was intended to not convert these values.

Vishal may have an opinion.  Should these be in bytes or 'CXL Capacity' units
(ie 256MB's)?

I think I prefer bytes as well.

Hm yeah there's not an internal (i.e. cxl-cli) user yet. I think bytes
makes sense. It is common for libcxl to convert spec-isms to whatever
makes sense at the library/cxl-cli level, and for that bytes makes
sense.

BIT(0) and BIT(1)?

I can't remember which bit is the immediate flag.

I'll reiterate that I agree with this capacity being in bytes.  But I'm not
sure what the rest of libcxl does.

Immediate flag is BIT(0).
Seemed awkward/overkill to use bit macro -
+#define CXL_CMD_SET_PARTITION_INFO_NO_FLAG				(0)
+#define CXL_CMD_SET_PARTITION_INFO_IMMEDIATE_FLAG			BIT(1)

I just added api to use this so you'll see it in action in v2
of this patchset and can comment again.

Why is a "no flag" definition needed? Isn't that just "!IMMEDIATE"

Also BIT(1) == 0x2, so that should be BIT(0), right?

You are right. The no flag set case is !IMMEDIATE.

>Also BIT(1) == 0x2, so that should be BIT(0), right?
Yes IMMEDIATE FLAG IS BIT(0). 

This chatter is related to using something more descriptive that '0'
for !IMMEDIATE when the cxl command makes the call to the api. (Patch 7)
I added a new accessor in v2 that returns the bit.

[ndctl PATCH 6/7] ndctl, util: use 'unsigned long long' type in OPT_U64 define

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

The OPT_U64 define failed in check_vtype() with unknown 'u64' type.
Replace with 'unsigned long long' to make the OPT_U64 define usable.

Why can't this be uint64_t?

I felt like it was a fixup, that should go right before I use it.

Now that the -size parameter is getting changed to a string,
(next patch feedback), this isn't needed.

I'll drop this patch from the set and save it for trivial cleanup
day.

I don't know. ULL worked so I didn't look further.
Is uint64_t more suitable?

[ndctl PATCH 7/7] cxl: add command set-partition-info

[alison.schofield]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

The command 'cxl set-partition-info' operates on a CXL memdev,
or a set of memdevs, allowing the user to change the partition
layout of the device.

Synopsis:
Usage: cxl set-partition-info <mem0> [<mem1>..<memN>] [<options>]

    -v, --verbose         turn on debug
    -s, --volatile_size <n>
                          next volatile partition size in bytes

The MAN page explains how to find partitioning capabilities and
restrictions.

+Partition the device into volatile and persistent capacity. The change
+in partitioning will become the “next” configuration, to become active
+on the next device reset.
+
+Use "cxl list -m <memdev> -P" to examine the partition capacities
+supported on a device. Paritionable capacity must exist on the
+device. A partition_alignment of zero means no partitionable
+capacity is available.
+
+Using this command to change the size of the persistent capacity shall
+result in the loss of data stored.

You must've blinked ;)
See Patch 4 - cxl: add memdev partition information to cxl-list

Yeah...I couldn't get to that at the last minute. 
Will figure that out and use it here.

This should be a string.

Got it. Thanks! This will fix a couple of pesky UI things I was
worried about.

One of the conventions from ndctl is that any command that modifies an
object should also emit the updated state of that object in JSON. For
example, "ndctl reconfigure-namespace" arranges for:

                unsigned long flags = UTIL_JSON_DAX | UTIL_JSON_DAX_DEVS;
                struct json_object *jndns;

                if (isatty(1))
                        flags |= UTIL_JSON_HUMAN;
                jndns = util_namespace_to_json(ndns, flags);
                if (jndns)
                        printf("%s\n", json_object_to_json_string_ext(jndns,
                                                JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY));

...to dump the updated state of the namespace, so a similar
util_memdev_to_json() seems appropriate here. However, perhaps that
can come later. I have work-in-progress patches to move the core of
cxl/list.c to a cxl_filter_walk() helper that would allow you to just
call that to dump a listing for all the memdevs that were passed on
the command line.

How about:

Users will want to configure CXL memdevs on CXL devices which support
partitioning.  CXL provides get and set partition info mailbox command to do
this.

Add support to retrieve partition info and set partition info.

Great but what is a valid partition request?

How about something like 'cxl-cli restricts the use of the IMMEDIATE flag until
such time as the driver supports it'?

But we probably should just let the command through and rely on the driver to
do what it does...

I'd just delete this.  I think it is best to leave the kernel to the
enforcement and not complicate the user space.

[Alison Schofield]

Thanks for the review Ira!
There's one question back at you wrt adding MAN page to cover letter.
Otherwise, I'm absorbing all your feedback.

I didn't regurgitate the restrictions here in the cover letter, nor
in the patch commit logs. They are only visible in the MAN page, and
I reference the MAN page in the cxl set-partition-info command patch.
I could add a pretty version of the MAN page here to give the cover
letter more details.

Would you like to see the MAN page here?

Those words are really not true. cxl-cli doesn't restrict the flags use,
it simply does not offer the option.

Nah. I don't think I should add -i --immediate to the command yet.
