  Adds bi-directional DMA transfer support to test performance.
One DMA device on one core will do mem2dev transfer and another
DMA device on another core will do dev2mem transfer.

Depends-on: series-31252 ("PCI Dev and SG copy support")

v2:
- Fixed depends on series.

Hi Amit and Gowrishankar,

It's nature to support multiple dmadev test in one testcase, and the original framework supports it.
But it seem we both complicated it when adding support for non-mem2mem dma test.

The new added "direction" and "vchan_dev" could treat as the dmadev's private configure,
some thing like:
  lcore_dma=lcore10@0000:00:04.2,vchan=0,dir=mem2dev,devtype=pcie,raddr=xxx,coreid=1,pfid=2,vfid=3

then this bi-directional could impl only with config:
  lcore_dma=lcore10@0000:00:04.2,dir=mem2dev,devtype=pcie,raddr=xxx,coreid=1,pfid=2,vfid=3, lcore11@0000:00:04.3,dir=dev2mem,devtype=pcie,raddr=xxx,coreid=1,pfid=2,vfid=3
so that the lcore10 will do mem2dev with device 0000:00:04.2, while lcore11 will do dev2mem with device 0000:00:04.3.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I will make the suggested changes and send the next version.

Hi Chengwen,

I liked your suggestion and tried making changes, but encountered parsing issue for CFG files with line greater than CFG_VALUE_LEN=256(current value set).

There is a discussion on the similar lines in another patch set: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20231206112952.1588-1-vipin.varghese@amd.com/.

I believe this patch can be taken as-is and we can come up with the solution when we can increase the CFG_VALUE_LEN as changing CFG_VALUE_LEN in this release is causing ABI breakage.

Thanks,
Amit Shukla

Hi Amit,

I think this commit will complicated the test, plus futer we may add more test (e.g. fill)

I agree Bruce's advise in the [1], let also support "lcore_dma0/1/2",

User could provide dma info by two way:
1) lcore_dma=, which seperate each dma with ", ", but a maximum of a certain number is allowed.
2) lcore_dma0/1/2/..., each dma device take one line

Thanks

Hi Chengwen,

If I'm not wrong, your concern was about config file additions and not about the test as such. If the config file is getting complicated and there are better alternatives, we can minimize the config file changes with this patch and just provide minimum functionality as required and leave it open for future changes. For now, I can document the existing behavior in documentation as "Constraints". Similar approach is followed in other application such as ipsec-secgw https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw.html#constraints

Constraints:
1. vchan_dev config will be same for all the configured DMA devices.
2. Alternate DMA device will do dev2mem and mem2dev implicitly.
Example:
xfer_mode=1
vchan_dev=raddr=0x200000000,coreid=1,pfid=2,vfid=3
lcore_dma=lcore10@0000:00:04.2, lcore11@0000:00:04.3, lcore12@0000:00:04.4, lcore13@0000:00:04.5

lcore10@0000:00:04.2, lcore12@0000:00:04.4 will do dev2mem and lcore11@0000:00:04.3, lcore13@0000:00:04.5 will do mem2dev.

Thanks,
Amit Shukla

Similar approach is followed in other application such as ipsec-secgw https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw.html#constraints

Yes, I prefer enable different test just by modify configuration file, and then limit the number of entries at the same time.

This commit is bi-direction transfer, it is fixed, maybe later we should test 3/4 for mem2dev while 1/4 for dev2mem.

sometime we may need evaluate performance of one dma channel for mem2mem, while another channel for mem2dev, we can't do
this in current implement (because vchan_dev is for all DMA channel).

So I prefer restrict DMA non-mem2mem's config (include dir/type/coreid/pfid/vfid/raddr) as the dma device's private configuration.

Thanks

Agreed. We will add this later after the base functionality is merged. I will send next version with constraints listed. Can I assume next version is good for merge?

We are okay with extending it later. As you said, we are still deciding how the configuration file should look like.

I suggest do it all at once in [1].
