[PATCH 00/18] cxl: Add support for QTG ID retrieval for CXL subsystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Bjorn, please review the relevant patches to the PCI subsystem: 10/18, 11/18. Thank you!
pcie_get_speed() and pcie_get_width() are created in order to allow CXL driver to calculate
the bandwith and latency for the PCI links.

Hi Rafael, please review the relevant patches to the ACPI: 2/18, 5/18. Thank you!
acpi_ut_verify_cdat_checksum() is exported to allow usage by a driver.

This series adds the retrieval of QoS Throttling Group (QTG) IDs for the CXL Fixed
Memory Window Structure (CFMWS) and the CXL memory device. It provides the QTG IDs
to user space to provide some guidance with putting the proper DPA range under the
appropriate CFMWS window.

The CFMWS structure contains a QTG ID that is associated with the memory window that the
structure exports. On Linux, the CFMWS is represented as a CXL root decoder. The QTG
ID will be attached to the CXL root decoder and exported as a sysfs attribute (qtg_id).

The QTG ID for a device is retrieved via sending a _DSM method to the ACPI0017 device.
The _DSM expects an input package of 4 DWORDS that contains the read latency, write
latency, read bandwidth, and write banwidth. These are the caluclated numbers for the
path between the CXL device and the CXL host bridge (HB). The QTG ID is also exported
as a sysfs attribute under the mem device memory type:
/sys/bus/cxl/devices/memX/ram/qtg_id or /sys/bus/cxl/devices/memX/pmem/qtg_id

The latency numbers are the aggregated latencies for the path between the CXL device and
the CXL HB. If a CXL device is directly attached to the CXL HB, the latency
would be the device latencies from the device Coherent Device Attribute Table (CDAT) plus
the caluclated PCIe link latency between the device and the HB. The bandwidth in this
configuration would be the minimum between the CDAT bandwidth number and link bandwidth
between the device and the HB.

If a configuration has a switch in between, then the latency would be the aggregated
latencies from the device CDAT, the link latency between device and switch, the
latencies from the switch CDAT, and the link latency between switch and the HB. Given
that the switch CDAT is not easily retrieved on Linux currently, a guesstimated
constant number will be used for calculation. The bandwidth calculation would be the
min of device CDAT bandwidth, link bandwith between device and switch, switch CDAT
bandwidth, and link bandwidth between switch and HB.  And without the switch CDAT,
the switch CDAT bandwidth will be skipped.

There can be 0 or more switches between the CXL device and the CXL HB. There are detailed
examples on calculating bandwidth and latency in the CXL Memory Device Software Guide [4].

The CDAT provides Device Scoped Memory Affinity Structures (DSMAS) that contains the
Device Physical Address (DPA) range and the related Device Scoped Latency and Bandwidth
Informat Stuctures (DSLBIS). Each DSLBIS provides a latency or bandwidth entry that is
tied to a DSMAS entry via a per DSMAS unique DSMAD handle.
