[RFC PATCH 0/4] Added virtio-net RSS with eBPF support.
by Andrew Melnychenko 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

This series of rfc patches adds support for loading the RSS eBPF program and passing it to the QEMU. Comments and suggestions would be useful. QEMU with vhost may work with RSS through eBPF. To load eBPF, the capabilities required that Libvirt may provide. eBPF program and maps may be unique for particular QEMU and Libvirt retrieves eBPF through qapi. For now, there is only "RSS" eBPF object in QEMU, in the future, there may be another one(g.e. network filters). That's why in Libvirt added logic to load and store any eBPF object that QEMU provides using qapi schema. For virtio-net RSS, the document has not changed. ``` <interface type="network"> <model type="virtio"/> <driver queues="4" rss="on" rss_hash_report="off"/> <interface type="network"> ``` Simplified routine for RSS: * Libvirt retrieves eBPF "RSS" and load it. * Libvirt passes file descriptors to virtio-net with property "ebpf_rss_fds" ("rss" property should be "on" too). * if fds was provided - QEMU using eBPF RSS implementation. * if fds was not provided - QEMU tries to load eBPF RSS in own context and use it. * if eBPF RSS was not loaded - QEMU uses "in-qemu" RSS(vhost not supported). meson.build | 6 ++ meson_options.txt | 1 + src/qemu/meson.build | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 181 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 53 ++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_interface.c | 42 ++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_interface.h | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 23 +++++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h | 3 + src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c | 21 ++++ src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h | 3 + 14 files changed, 349 insertions(+) -- 2.42.0

[RFC: vf-token 0/5] Introduce vf-token when using userspace PF
by Vivek Kashyap 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

vf token is set by a vfio-pci based PF driver and it must be known to the vfio-pci based VF driver. This vf-token is set by the PF driver before VF drivers can access the device. vfio-pci driver and qemu support vf-token. This RFC patch series adds support to provide the vf-token (uuid format) in the domain XML and to generate the qemu commandline including the vf-token. To support vf-token the new element will be used as follows: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0' slot='0x00' function='0x1'> <vf-token uuid='00112233-4455-6677-8899-aabbccddeeff'/> </address> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> The generated commandline will include the following: -device {"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:00:0.1", "vf-token":"00112233-4455-6677-8899-aabbccddeeff", "id":"hostdev0","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x1"} This patch is get feedback on the approach. Will post with add documentation and testcases in follow-up.
