Commit Message

Generic Initiators are a new ACPI concept that allows for the
description of proximity domains that contain a device which
performs memory access (such as a network card) but neither
host CPU nor Memory.

This patch has the parsing code and provides the infrastructure
for an architecture to associate these new domains with their
nearest memory processing node.

This depends on the series from Dan at:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/CAPcyv4gBSX58CWH4HZ28w0_cZRzJrhgdEFHa2g8KDqyv8aFqZQ@mail.gmail.com/T/#m1acce3ae8f29f680c0d95fd1e840e703949fbc48

AFAICS, so please respin when that one hits the Linus' tree.

Hi Rafael,

Yes. Cover letter mentions it was rebased on v4 of that series.

> AFAICS, so please respin when that one hits the Linus' tree.


Sure, though that pushes it out another cycle and it's beginning to
get a bit silly (just rebases since April).

I guess it can't be helped given the series hits several trees.

Note that this version applies completely clean on top of V7 of
Dan's SPM/hmem set applied to the tip tree (which I assume is the
route that will take).  Hence, unless something else changes, the
respin will be identical to this version.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Thanks Rafael!

Absolutely understood on the need for Acks.

For ARM let us try a few more CCs

+CC Will, Lorenzo, Hanjun.

Also Ingo on basis of showing a passing interest in the x86 patch
previously.  Otherwise I think we have the x86 people most like to
comment already cc'd.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11174247/ has the full series.

I'd appreciate anyone who has time taking a look at these.  The
actual actions in the architectures are very simple, but I may well
be missing some subtlety.

Thanks for the background. It would still be a useful feature to be
able to define a memory + generic-initiator node in qemu. That will
mirror real world accelerators with local memory configurations.

I faked up a quick HMAT table.

Used a configuration with 3x CPU and memory nodes, 1x memory only node
and 1x GI node.  Two test cases, one where the GI initiator is further than
the CPU containing nodes from the memory only node (realistic case for
existing hardware). That behaves as expected and there are no
/sys/node/bus/nodeX/access0 entries for the GI node
+ appropriate ones for the memory only node as normal.

The other case is more interesting we have the memory only node nearer
to the GI node than to any of the CPUs.  In that case for x86 at least
the HMAT code is happy to put an access0 directory GI in the GI node
with empty access0/initiators and the memory node under access0/targets

The memory only node is node4 and the GI node node3.

So relevant dirs under /sys/bus/nodes/devices

node3/access0/initators/ Empty
node3/access0/targets/node4

node4/access0/initators/[node3 read_bandwidth write_bandwith etc]
node4/access0/targets/ Empty

So the result current (I think - the HMAT interface still confuses
me :) is that a GI node is treated like a CPU node.  This might mean
there is no useful information available if you want to figure out
which CPU containing node is nearest to Memory when the GI node is
nearer still.

Is this a problem?  I'm not sure...  

If we don't want to include GI nodes then we can possibly
use the node_state(N_CPU, x) method to check before considering
them, or I guess parse SRAT to extract that info directly. 

I tried this and it seems to work so can add patch doing this
next version if we think this is the 'right' thing to do.

So what do you think 'should' happen?

Ah crossed with my essay.  This simple case you have here is easier to
discuss.  Lets call it a GPU on a coherent interconnect with local memory.

What do you think should happen for access0 in sysfs?  Do we want the
GPU reflected in there or not?

This particular case doesn't actually need a GI, though perhaps you
might want one purely to give HMAT based info.  On a pre GI system
you would just use a memory only node and use DSDT _PXM to put the
GPU device in it.

Whilst I agree a means of testing this in qemu might be more
friendly than doing it by overriding tables, the overriding route
lets you do the crazy corner cases + generate 'invalid' tables
which are also useful for testing.

Thanks,

This makes sense node3 is an initiator, no other nodes can initiate to it.

I think this might be our first case for adding an "access1" instance
by default. I.e. in the case when access0 is not a cpu, then access1
is there to at least show the "local" cpu and let userspace see the
performance difference of cpu vs a specific-initiator access.

Hi Dan,

Agreed that it makes sense to expand how we describe these cases a bit.
To make sure I've understood correctly let me paraphrase what you
are proposing (and tweak it a bit ;)

Assuming for this purpose we don't put GIs in CPU nodes as that makes
for really fiddly explanation. In reality the code will need to handle
that.

1) Leave access0 as it currently is with this series - so continue to
   not distinguish between CPU nodes and Generic Initator containing ones?
2) Add access 1 which is effectively access0 ignoring Generic Initiators?

My feeling is that any existing users of access0 are definitely not going
to be expecting generic initiators, so we might want to do this the other
way around. access0 is only CPUs and memory, access1 is including
generic initiators.  If there are no GIs don't expose access1 at all?

For now we could simply block the GI visibility in access0 and deal
with access1 as a separate series.  I suspect we will get push back
as there are no known users of our new access1 so it may take a while
to prove utility and get it accepted.

Thanks,

Jonathan

hwloc already reads access0/initiators/ node symlinks (mostly useful for
finding which CPUs are local to kmem dax devices). If I understand
correctly the changes you propose, we would get an empty list of CPUs in
the access0/initiators/ nodes? If it only occurs on platforms with GI
(when are those coming to market?), I'd say it's not a big deal for us,
we'll manage to have users upgrade their hwloc.
