  Vhost asynchronous data-path offloads packet copy from the CPU
to the DMA engine. As a result, large packet copy can be accelerated
by the DMA engine, and vhost can free CPU cycles for higher level
functions.

In this patch, we enable asynchronous data-path for vhostpmd.
Asynchronous data path is enabled per tx/rx queue, and users need
to specify the DMA device used by the tx/rx queue. Each tx/rx queue
only supports to use one DMA device, but one DMA device can be shared
among multiple tx/rx queues of different vhost PMD ports.

Two PMD parameters are added:
- dmas:	specify the used DMA device for a tx/rx queue.
	(Default: no queues enable asynchronous data path)
- dma-ring-size: DMA ring size.
	(Default: 4096).

Here is an example:
--vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=./s0,dmas=[txq0@0000:00.01.0;rxq0@0000:00.01.1],dma-ring-size=4096'

v5:
- add error log of testpmd cmd

v4:
- add txq allow_queuing check on poll completed
- unregister dma channel in destroy_device
- add dma ring size minimum limit
- fix serveral code style and logging issues

v3:
- add the API to version.map

v2:
- add missing file
- hide async_tx_poll_completed
- change default DMA ring size to 4096

Sorry that I just realize that we need to change release notes because this
is new feature for vhost PMD. Please mention the async support and new driver
api you added.

Thanks,
Chenbo

Hi Yuan,

Please fix your system for the next times, your patch is dated several
hours in the future.

Why? Is that related to Intel HW?

I'm not in favor of adding driver-specific API.
IMHO, you should just decide whether doing completion on Tx or Rx path
and stick with it.

Doing completion on the Tx path not being reliable (i.e. if not other
packets are sent, last enqueued packets are not completed), I guess only
doing completion in Rx path is the right thing to do.

Sure, will update docs in new version.

No, it is for TCP/UDP tests. The max TCP/UDP length is 64KB, so one packet
needs 32 pktmbufs. If we set DMA ring size to 32, it's possible that vhost cannot
enqueue/dequeue one packet, as there may be some control packets mixed and
DMA ring full will cause enqueue/dequeue the packet failed. So the recommend
minimal DMA ring size is > 32.

We can remove the macro, but add one comment to suggest the DMA ring
size.

I think it proves the async feature is not usable as it is implemented
today.

Expecting the user to know he has to select or change at runtime the tx
completion mode for the feature to just work (not only a performance
tuning) is not acceptable IMHO.

To summarize:
  - By default, Tx completion are done by the Rx path so txonly mode is
not working (and nothing will notify the user).
  - If user switch to Tx completion are done by the Tx path, last packet
will never be completed.

It may work for benchmark, but it is not usable in real-life.
I think that for Vhost PMD, the Virtio completions should either be
performed by DMA engine or by a dedicated thread.

Sure, we will remove the MINIMUM_DMA_RING_SIZE  macro and give more
explanation for DEFAULT_DMA_RING_SIZE.

Another way is to call rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed in both Rx and Tx
path. In this way, we will not have the issues above, and the performance drop
is not too much (it is ~10%, compared with calling in Tx path).

Does it make sense?

IMHO, Vhost PMD is for benchmark purpose. No real applications use
Vhost PMD. The motivation of enabling asynchronous data path in Vhost
PMD is to demonstrate the performance of DMA accelerated data path
too.

We cannot depend on DMA engine to do completion, as there is no
ordering guarantee on the HW. For example, given the DMA engine
issues two updates on the used ring's index, it is possible that the second
write completes before the first one.

For a dedicated thread, the scalability may become the issue. Performance
could drop due to multiple cores read/write shared data.

For real workload integration, I believe there are already lots of discussions
on OVS. But for this patch, it is more as a benchmark to demonstrate the
benefits from DMA acceleration, IMHO.

There is still the last Tx packet never being completed.

I don't think Vhost PMD is only for benchmarking purpose.
It can do the job for a lot of applications, and we've had in the past
bug reports from people/companies not involved in Vhost library
development for Vhost PMD, so this is likely being used.

I'm not sure for Intel hardware, but other vendors may offer ordering
guarantees, it should be exposed as a capability of the DMA device. If
the DMA device offers this capability, it could be used for Vhost.

Ok, but it is still better than having packets stuck in the queue
because of missing Virtio completions.

It does not bring much benefits if it is not reliable IMHO, presenting
artificial numbers because we knowingly let the possibility of having
packets stuck in the virtqueues is not a good thing.

While I haven't been following this discussion, this particular comment
caught my eye.

For jobs submitted via a single dmadev device, the "FENCE" flag is provided
as part of the dmadev API[1]. Obviously, if the writes come from different
dmadevs, then things are rather more complicated.

Thanks for the clarification Bruce.

In the Vhost PMD case, there is a 1:1 mapping between the virtqueue and
the DMA channel, so we should be fine.

The cost of "FENCE" is significant, as it requires the HW to stop pipeline and
wait until all previous jobs completed. If ask DMA to update used ring's index,
every updating on used ring's index requires "FENCE", which will make enqueue/
dequeue become sync operation finally. "FENCE" would slow down DMA and make
DMA become the bottleneck quickly. Also, stalling HW pipeline also means waste
DMA resource. The more efficient way to maintain the ordering is by SW. I don't
think it is acceptable from performance and resource utilization perspective.

But on the other hand, there will be less cachelines sharing between the
port's Rx and Tx PMD threads. IIRC, Virtio completions by the DMA
engines was discussed but never prototyped, so hard to draw a
conclusion.
