Re: [PATCH 0/5] Introduce the support of Intel RDT-MBM

Hi Han,

Thanks for your kind reminder.


I haven't used the 'virsh dommemstat' command for reporting the

domain vcpus' memory bandwidth usage over host.  What I implemented

is add a new option '--memory' under command 'virsh domstats'.


Reason for such kind of implementation is I haven't realized there is already

one interface, the 'dommemstat' command, with the intention of showing

domain memory related statistics.


But after examining the ways to report the block device statistics, and the

network traffic statistics, I found they are similar,  for example you can

find block device statistics from command 'virsh domblkstat' and

'virsh domstats --block'.


So I tent to use the way that I have done in patch '1/5' to let these memory

information be shown in command 'virsh domstasts --memory'.

Reason is the memory bandwidth information is associated with the

memory bandwidth monitor (a hardware feature from cpu manufacture),

and each monitor could be applied to one or some vcpus.  This is much

similar to the case of 'virsh domstats --interface' and 'virsh domstats --block'.


I hope more reviewers involve this discussion.


Thanks

Huaqiang

RDT is the short for Intel Resource Director Technology, consists
of four sub-technologies until now:

    -. CAT for cache allocation
    -. CMT for cache usage monitoring
    -. MBA for memory bandwidth allocation
    -. MBM for memory bandwidth usage monitoring

The Linux kernel interface is 'resctrl' file system, and we have
already implemented the support of CAT, CMT and MBA, to accomplish
the tasks such as allocating a part of shared CPU last level cache
to particular domain vcpu or a list of vcpus and monitoring the
usage of cache, or the task of allocating a mount of memory
bandwidth to specify domain vcpu(s).

This series is to introduce the support of MBM.

Basically the interfaces are:

** Identify host capability **

Similar to identify the host capability of CMT, it could be gotten
through the result of 'virsh capabilities', if following elements
are found, then MBM is supported:

    <memory_bandwidth>
      <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
        <feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>
      </monitor>
    </memory_bandwidth>

'mbm_total_bytes' means supporting to report the memory bandwidth
used by the vcpu(s) of specific monitor on all CPU sockets.

'mbm_local_bytes' means supporting to report the memory bandwidth
used by vcpu(s) that is passing through local CPU socket.

** Create monitor group**

The monitor group for specific domain vcpus, for example vcpu 0-4,
is defined in domain configuration file, in such kind of way:

  <cputune>
    <memorytune vcpus='0-4'>
      <monitor vcpus='0-4'/>
    </memorytune>
  </cputune>

** Report memory usage **

Introduced an option '--memory' against 'virsh domstats' command
to show the memory bandwidth usage in such way:
(also very similar to the format of CMT result.)

    # virsh domstats --memory

    Domain: 'libvirt-vm'
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.count=4
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.name=vcpus_0-4
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.vcpus=0-4
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.count=2
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.0.id=0
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.0.bytes.total=14201651200
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.0.bytes.local=7369809920
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.1.id=1
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.1.bytes.total=188897640448
        memory.bandwidth.monitor.0.node.1.bytes.local=170044047360
