Sorry, I somehow missed this after my break. Please see comments in
line.

Allows to read vendor statistics of a vdpa device. The specific
statistics data is received by the upstream driver in the form
of an (attribute name, attribute value) pairs.

An example of statistics for mlx5_vdpa device are:

received_desc - number of descriptors received by the virtqueue
completed_desc - number of descriptors completed by the
virtqueue

A descriptor using indirect buffers is still counted as 1. In
addition, N chained descriptors are counted correctly N times as
one
would expect.
A new callback was added to vdpa_config_ops which provides the
means for the vdpa driver to return statistics results.

The interface allows for reading all the supported virtqueues,
including the control virtqueue if it exists.

Below are some examples taken from mlx5_vdpa which are
introduced in the following patch:

1. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 1

$ vdpa dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 1
vdpa-a:
queue_type tx queue_index 1 received_desc 3844836
completed_desc
3844836

2. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 32 $ vdpa dev
vstats show vdpa-a qidx 32
vdpa-a:
queue_type control_vq queue_index 32 received_desc 62
completed_desc
62

3. Read statisitics for the virtqueue at index 0 with json
output $ vdpa -j dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 0
{"vstats":{"vdpa-a":{

"queue_type":"rx","queue_index":0,"name":"received_desc","value":41
77
76,\
      "name":"completed_desc","value":417548}}}

4. Read statistics for the virtqueue at index 0 with preety json
output $ vdpa -jp dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 0 {
         "vstats": {
             "vdpa-a": {

                 "queue_type": "rx",
I wonder where this info can be inferred? I don't see relevant
change in the patch series that helps gather the
VDPA_ATTR_DEV_QUEUE_TYPE?
Is this an arbitrary string defined by the vendor as well? If so,
how does the user expect to consume it?
The queue tupe is deduced from the index and whether we have a
virtqueue. Even numbers are rx, odd numbers are tx and if there is
CVQ, the last one is CVQ.
OK, then VDPA_ATTR_DEV_QUEUE_TYPE attribute introduced in this
patch might not be useful at all?
Right, will remove.

And how do you determine in the vdpa tool if CVQ is negotiated or
not?
I make a netlink call to get the same information as " vdpa dev config
show"
retrieves. I use the negotiated features to determine if a CVQ is
available. If it is, the number of VQs equals the control VQ index.
So there are two netlink calls under the hood.
The lock vdpa_dev_mutex won't hold across the two separate netlink
calls, and it may end up with inconsistent state - theoretically
things could happen like that the first call gets CVQ negotiated, but
the later call for
get_vendor_vq_stats() on the cvq might get -EINVAL due to device
reset. Can the negotiated status and stat query be done within one single
netlink call?
I see your concern.
The only reason I do the extra call is to know if we have a control VQ
and what index it is, just to print a descriptive string telling if it's a either rx,
tx or control VQ.
So the cure can be simple. Let's have a new attribute that returns the
type of virtqueue.
I am not sure I follow the cure. Wouldn't it be possible to get both negotiated
status and the queue stat in vdpa_nl_cmd_dev_stats_get_doit() under the
same vdpa_dev_mutex lock?
Yes we can, but I suggested to get only the type of the queue as a new attribute.
The kernel will do the digest and decide per a given VQ if it's rx, tx or control and
return the result in that new attribute.
The rx, tx and control queue type is net specific, while the vdpa core is currently agnostic to the vdpa class.


And I am not even sure if it is a must to display
the queue type - it doesn't seem the output includes the vdpa class info, which
makes it hard for script to parse the this field in generic way.
I don't get you. You say you don't think you need the queue type and at the same
time you're concerned lack of information makes it hard for scripts.
BTW, class info is something you can get for the device through "vdpa dev show"
so your know the class of your device.
Stepping back, may I ask if there's a case that queue type specific stat may be defined by vendor, such that deciphering of certain vendor stat would need type specific knowledge? So far the received_desc and completed_desc stats offered through the mlx5_vdpa patch look to be general ones and not associated with any queue type in particular. Is there some future stat in your mind that needs specific knowledge of queue type and vdpa class?

I'd prefer the vstat output to be self-contained and self-descriptive. You may argue the class of vdpa never changes in "vdpa dev show" after creation. This is true, however the queue type is not - say you got a control queue for qindex 2, but the next moment you may get a rx queue with the same qindex. Particularly you seem want to tie this with queue index in the guest view, which is quite dynamic for host admin or script running on the host to follow.


   I think Jason did not like the idea of communicating the kind of VQ
from kernel to userspace but under these circumstances, maybe he would
approve.
Jason?

What worried me is that the queue index being dynamic and depended on
negotiation status would make host admin user quite hard to follow.
The guest may or may not advertise F_MQ and/or F_CTRL_VQ across
various phases, e.g.
firmware (UEFI), boot loader (grub) till OS driver is up and running,
which can be agnostic to host admin. For most of the part it's not
easy to script and predict the queue index which can change from time
to time. Can we define the order of host predictable queue index,
which is independent from any guest negotiated state?
Here I think we can just use the plain queue index in the host view - say if vdpa
net has 4 pairs of data vqs and 1 control vq, user may use qindex 8 across the
board to identify the control vq, regardless if the F_MQ feature is negotiated
or not in guest.
Right, but the idea that a userspace tool should provide useful information to the
user so it does not need to do complex logic to infer that from bare data.
The host side qindex and qtype would never change regardless of guest feature negotiation, by nature it reflects the real construct and object in the hardware. I don't feel it's a simple task for host users to figure out the correct guest side qindex for the control queue -  it's always racy for one to check some other vdpa command output if the vstat output is not self-contained.

Looks to me there are still some loose end I don't quite yet
understand.


                 "queue_index": 0,
I think this can be removed since the command is for a specific index.

                 "name": "received_desc",
                 "value": 417776,
                 "name": "completed_desc",
                 "value": 417548
Not for this kernel patch, but IMHO it's the best to put the name
& value pairs in an array instead of flat entries in json's
hash/dictionary. The hash entries can be re-ordered deliberately
by external json parsing tool, ending up with inconsistent stat values.
This comment is missed for some reason. Please change the example
in the log if you agree to address it in vdpa tool. Or justify why
keeping the order for json hash/dictionary is fine.
Sorry for skipping this comment.
Do you mean to present the information like:
"received_desc": 417776,
"completed_desc": 417548,
I mean the following presentation:

$ vdpa -jp dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 0 {
       "vstats": {
           "vdpa-a": {
               "queue_stats": [{
                   "queue_index": 0,
                   "queue_type": "rx",
                   "stat_name": [ "received_desc","completed_desc" ],
                   "stat_value": [ 417776,417548 ],
               }]
           }
       }
}

I think Parav had similar suggestion, too.
