Say you got a vdpa net device created with 4 data queue pairs and a
control vq. On boot some guest firmware may support just F_CTRL_VQ but
not F_MQ, then the index for the control vq in guest ends up with 2, as
in this case there's only a single queue pair enabled for rx (index 0)
and tx (index 1). From the host driver (e.g. mlx5_vdpa) perspective, the
control vq is the last vq following 8
If the host sees F_MQ was not negotiated but F_CTRL_VQ was, then it knows
that control VQ index is 2
Right, but I don't see this feature negotiation info getting returned
from your vdpa_dev_vendor_stats_fill(), or did I miss something? How do
you plan for host user to get this info? If you meant another "vdpa dev
show" command to query negotiated features ahead, this won't get the
same lock protected as the time you run the stat query. It's very easy
to miss that ephemeral queue index.
Right, so I suggested to include the negotiated features in the netlink message
for the statistics. That would save us from using two system calls to get the
information required and it answers your concern with respect to locking.
I think Jason was reluctant to adding this attribute to the message but can't
find where he explained the reasoning.
Maybe Jason can clarify and correct me, but I just did not get the same
impression as what you said? I just skimmed through all of the emails in
the thread, only finding that he didn't want device specific attribute
such as queue type to get returned by the vdpa core, which I agree. I'm
not sure if he's explicitly against piggyback negotiated features to aid
userspace parsing the index.
I think we need piggyback the negotiated features, otherwise as you
mentioned, we will probably get in-consistency.
Great. Thanks for confirming it.


But a question for the "host queue index", as mentioned before. It's
something that is not defined in the spec, so technically, vendor can
do any mappings between it and the index what guest can see. I feel
like we need to clarify it in the spec first.
I have been thinking about this for some while today. Actually I am not against exposing the host queue index to the spec, as we know it's somewhat implicitly defined in the QEMU device model for multiqueue. The thing is, I'm not sure if there's extra benefit than this minor requirement (*) given that all of the other vDPA kAPI are taking the guest queue index rather than the host queue index. It works for mlx5_vdpa as the control vq is implemented in the software, so it can map to whatever guest qindex it wishes to. But would it cause extra trouble for some other emulated vDPA device or other vendor's vDPA such as ifcvf to fabricate a fake mapping between the host queue index and the one guest can see? I would have to send a heads-up ahead that the current vhost-vdpa mq implementation in upstream QEMU has some issue in mapping the host qindex to the guest one. This would become a problem with MQ enabled vdpa device and a non-MQ supporting guest e.g. OVMF, for which I'm about to share some RFC patches shortly to demonstrate the issue. If exposing the host queue index to the spec turns is essential to resolving this issue and maybe help with software virtio QEMU implementation too, I won't hesitate to expose this important implementation detail to the spec.

(*) another means that may somehow address my use case is to use some magic keyword e.g. "ctrlvq" to identify the control vq. Implementation wise, we can extensively pass -1 to indicate the last guest qindex to the get_vq_vstat() API given that we know for sure the ctrlvq is the last queue in the array when the relevant features are present. Since the negotiated features are piggybacked, it's not hard for the vdpa tool to tell apart whether the last queue is a control vq or not.

I'd also welcome other ideas that can make virtqueue identification easier and predictable from the CLI.

Thanks,
-Siwei


Thanks

Another way around, vdpa tool may pass down -1 to get_vq_vstat() to
represent the queue index for the control queue - but that's less
favorable as the vdpa core needs to maintain device specific knowledge.



data vqs of all 4 pairs, hence got
the 8th index in the rank. Since F_MQ is not negotiated and only 1 data
queue pair enabled, in such event only host qindex 0,1 and 8 have vendor
stats available, and the rest of qindex would get invalid/empty stat.

Later on say boot continues towards loading the Linux virtio driver,
then guest could successfully negotiate both F_CTRL_VQ and F_MQ
features. In this case, all 8 data virtqueues are fully enabled, the
index for the control vq ends up as 8, following tightly after all the 4
data queue pairs. Only until both features are negotiated, the guest and
host are able to see consistent view in identifying the control vq.
Since F_MQ is negotiated, all host queues, indexed from 0 through 8,
should have vendor stats available.

That's why I said the guest qindex is ephemeral and hard to predict
subjected to negotiated features, but host qindex is reliable and more
eligible for command line identification purpose.

<...snip...>
So what are you actually proposing? Display received and completed descriptors
per queue index without further interpretation?
I'd suggest using a more stable queue id i.e. the host queue index to
represent the qidx (which seems to be what you're doing now?), and
displaying both the host qindex (queue_index_device in the example
below), as well as the guest's (queue_index_driver as below) in the output:

Given that per vdpa device you can display statistics only after features have
been negotiated, you can always know the correct queue index for the control
VQ.
The stats can be displayed only after features are negotiated, and only
when the corresponding queue is enabled. If you know it from "vdpa dev
show" on day 1 that the control vq and mq features are negotiated, but
then on day2 you got nothing for the predicted control vq index, what
would you recommend the host admin to do to get the right qindex again?
Re-run the stat query on the same queue index, or check the "vdpa dev
show" output again on day 3? This CLI design makes cloud administrator
really challenging to follow the dynamics of guest activities were to
manage hundreds or thousands of virtual machines...

It would be easier, in my opinion, to grasp some well-defined handle
that is easily predictable or fixed across the board, for looking up the
control virtqueue. This could be a constant host queue index, or a
special magic keyword like "qidx ctrlvq". If cloud admin runs vstat
query on the control vq using a determined handle but get nothing back,
then s/he knows *for sure* the control vq was not available for some
reason at the point when the stat was being collected. S/he doesn't even
need to care negotiated status via "vdpa dev show" at all. Why bother?
So, per my suggestion above, passing the negotiated attribute in the netlink
message would satisfy the requirements for atomicity, right?
Yes, it satisfied the atomicity requirement, though not sure how you
want to represent the queue index for control vq? Basically if cloud
admin wants to dump control queue stats explicitly with a fixed handle
or identifier, how that can be done with the negotiated attribute?

Thanks,
-Siwei
Do you still hold see your proposal required?
Yes, this is essential to any cloud admin that runs stat query on all of
the queues on periodic basis. You'd get some deterministic without
blindly guessing or bothering other irrelevant command.

$ vdpa -jp dev vstats show vdpa-a qidx 8
{
        "vstats": {
            "vdpa-a": {
                "queue_stats": [{
                    "queue_index_device": 8,
                    "queue_index_driver": 2,

                }]
            }
        }
}

Optionally, user may use guest queue index gqidx, which is kind of an
ephemeral ID and F_MQ negotiation depended, to query the stat on a
specific guest queue:

$ vdpa -jp dev vstats show vdpa-a gqidx 2
{
        "vstats": {
            "vdpa-a": {
                "queue_stats": [{
                    "queue_index_device": 8,
                    "queue_index_driver": 2,
                    "queue_type": "control_vq",
                    "stat_name": [ "received_desc","completed_desc" ],
                    "stat_value": [ 417776,417775 ],
                }]
            }
        }

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.
