[PATCH 0/8] hw/cxl: CXL emulation cleanups and minor fixes for upstream
Posted by Jonathan Cameron via 1 year, 3 months ago
A small collection of misc fixes and tidying up pulled out from various
series. I've pulled this to the top of my queue of CXL related work
as they stand fine on their own and it will reduce the noise in
the larger patch sets if these go upstream first.

Gregory's patches were posted as part of his work on adding volatile support.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20221006233702.18532-1-gregory.price@memverge.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20221128150157.97724-2-gregory.price@memverge.com/
I might propose this for upstream inclusion this cycle, but testing is
currently limited by lack of suitable kernel support.

Ira's patches were part of his event injection series.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20221221-ira-cxl-events-2022-11-17-v2-0-2ce2ecc06219@intel.com/
Intent is to propose for upstream the rest of that series shortly after
some minor changes from earlier review.

My three patches have not previously been posted.

For the curious, the current state of QEMU CXL emulation that we are working
through the backlog wrt to final cleanup before proposing for upstreaming can be found at.

fwiw the testing i've done suggests the problem isn't necessarily the
implementation so much as either the EFI support or the ACPI tables.

For example, we see memory expanders come up no problem and turn into
volatile memory on real hardware, with the same kernels with just a few
commands.  My gut feeling is that either a mailbox command is missing or
that the ACPI tables are missing/significantly different.

I haven't been able to investigate further at this point, but that's my
current state with the voltile type-3 device testing.

My assumption was that all shipping hardware platforms were doing the
enumeration and bring up of memory expanders in the BIOS / firmware.
Those are then presented to the OS already set up exactly as if they were
normal memory.  We could do the same on QEMU but that means a lot of
work in EDK2. Note that it makes no sense to do the enumeration and
creation of ACPI tables in QEMU itself though could hack it like that.
This stuff is done in firmware because that enables it for legacy
OSes. Everything is more or less presented to the OS like you would
present RAM (EFI memory map, ACPI tables etc).

Firmware enumeration doesn't typically support hotplug, so if we add
support for hotplug of volatile memory type 3 devices to the kernel
we will also be able to do 'cold plug' and have the kernel bring them up
in a similar fashion to what we do for non-volatile (for non volatile there
is typically no real support in firmware as there is a bunch of policy to
deal with that doesn't belong in firmware). (simplifying heavily ;)

So I don't think we are missing anything in the emulation, just in the
software layers above it.  Could be wrong though ;)

I'm not so sure something is missing so much as something seems
incorrect in either the ACPI table structure definitions, the mailbox,
or even the doe emulation.

I took your branch and reverted to just prior to the volatile patch
refernce: 59a59ef725699e0efb3e9e31a7f8d246de7286ed

Just to check, are these different from the on stack problem you reported
previously?  Doesn't look like the fix for that has made it upstream yet.

What kernel are you running?

The prior issue I saw was related to the CXL Fixed Memory Window having
an e820 region registered during machine initialization.  That fix is
upstream.

On 2023-1-11 branch it is commit 2486dd045794d65598fbca9fd1224c27b9732dce

This one appears when registering any kind of type-3 device, during
boot.

Sorry, should have dug out a link in earlier reply and save a round trip.

Ah I see, i forgot about that one.  Give me a bit and I'll see if it is the
same issue.

Ah I'd forgotten we were going round the houses somewhat on the right fix...

I'll respin those fixes shortly, together with the other DOE patches
I've accumulated on my development branch for DOE+SPDM:

https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/doe

Ira kindly tested them this week and reports that they don't regress
CDAT retrieval for him.

Thanks,

Re: [PATCH 0/8] hw/cxl: CXL emulation cleanups and minor fixes for upstream
Posted by Gregory Price 1 year, 3 months ago
1) No stack traces present
2) Device usage appears to work, but cxl-cli fails to create a region, i
haven't checked why yet (also tried ndctl-75, same results)
3) There seems to be some other regression with the cxl_pmem_init
routine, because I get a stack trace in this setup regardless of whether
I apply the type-3 device commit.


All tests below with the previously posted DOE linux branch.
Base QEMU branch was Jonathan's 2023-1-11


DOE Branch - 2023-1-11 (HEAD) (all commits)

QEMU Config:
sudo /opt/qemu-cxl/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/cxl.qcow2,format=qcow2,index=0,media=disk,id=hd \
-m 3G,slots=4,maxmem=8G \
-smp 4 \
-machine type=q35,accel=kvm,cxl=on \
-enable-kvm \
-nographic \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=1G,share=on \
-device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=52 \
-device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,chassis=0,slot=0 \
-device cxl-type3,bus=rp0,volatile-memdev=mem0,id=cxl-mem0 \
-M cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.0,cxl-fmw.0.size=1G

Result:  This worked, but cxl-cli could not create a region (will look
into this further later).




When running with a persistent memory configuration, I'm seeing a
kernel stack trace on cxl_pmem_init

Even if everything else worked, it will currently fail because of the
issue with pass through decoders.
(Kernel assumes always pass through for single rp, qemu assumes never

Add a second rp for now.  I should be able to post some patches
to work around that shortly.

I clearly need to run some more rests as not seen this issue (and I've
had a couple of reports of it now).  I guess I never tend to be running
a completely clean tree on either side + testing is mostly on arm64
(though I doubt that matters). It's not the pass through decoder issues as
that is visible only when bringing up a region.

Even with this trace, I'm fairly confident that the DOE line + this have
fixed other issues, i'm seeing less general instability on the x86 than
i did before, and when loading in non-volatile mode i don't see any
stability issues.

Whilst discussion is in this thread, it is not related to this patch set
(at least I've seen no indication that it is!)

The revert referred to is down to a point with a whole load of other stuff
on top of upstream QEMU. However I think that whatever this is effects
upstream as well - though it seems more likely to be a kernel bug or
possibly something we simply aren't emulating yet.
The trace is probably pointing to a dereference of
(struct device)->driver
as there is very little else in that function, which is very suspicious.

So keeping this set queued up would be great.

Re: [PATCH 0/8] hw/cxl: CXL emulation cleanups and minor fixes for upstream
Posted by Gregory Price 1 year, 3 months ago
I apparently forgot an intro lol

I tested the DOE linux branch with the 2023-1-11 QEMU branch with both
volatile, non-volatile, and "legacy" (pre-my-patch) non-volatile mode.

1) *In volatile mode, there are no stack traces present (during boot*)

Possibly replicated.  What I did was stop cxl_pmem.ko being probed automatically and
added it manually later. Trace that results is certainly similar to yours.

Now the MODULE_SOFTDEP() in drivers/cxl/acpi.c should stop that happening
assuming you are letting autoloading run.
I wonder if there is a path in which it doesn't?

Dan, any thoughts?

There is another race that I can trigger by repeatedly injecting errors and
causing resets, but the trace for that is very different and
points at cxl_pmem_ctl() called via nvdimm_probe(). I was going to try
and pin that one down a little more before posting a report but might
as well muddy the waters :)

Note this seems to have gotten harder to hit for some reason - took
about 50 resets.

I'll keep digging

Gregory, would you mind checking if
cxl_nvb is NULL here...
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2-rc4/source/drivers/cxl/pmem.c#L67
(printk before it is used should work).

Might also be worth checking cxl_nvd and cxl_ds
but my guess is cxl_nvb is our problem (it is when I deliberate change
the load order).

This is exactly the issue.  cxl_nvb is null, the rest appear fine.

Also, note, that weirdly the non-volatile bridge shows up when launching
this in volatile mode, but no stack trace appears.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After spending way too much time tracing through the current cxl driver
code, i have only really determined that

1) The code is very pmem oriented, and it's unclear to me how the driver
   as-is differentiates a persistent device from a volatile device. That
	 code path still completely escapes me.  The only differentiating code
	 i see is in the memdev probe path that creates mem#/pmem and mem#/ram

2) The code successfully manages probe, enable, and mount a REAL device
   - cxl memdev appears (/sys/bus/cxl/devices/mem0)
	 - a dax device appears (/sys/bus/dax/devices/)
	   This happens at boot, which I assume must be bios related
	 - The memory *does not* auto-online, instead the dax device can be
	   onlined as system-ram *manually* via ndctl and friends

3) The code creates an nvdimm_bridge IFF a CFMW is defined - regardless
   of the type-3 device configuration (pmem-only or vmem-only)

   # CFMW defined
   [root@fedora ~]# ls /sys/bus/cxl/devices/
   decoder0.0  decoder2.0  mem0            port1
   decoder1.0  endpoint2   nvdimm-bridge0  root0

   # CFMW not defined
	 [root@fedora ~]# ls /sys/bus/cxl/devices/
   decoder1.0  decoder2.0  endpoint2  mem0  port1  root0

4) As you can see above, multiple decoders are registered.  I'm not sure
   if that's correct or not, but it does seem odd given there's only one
	 cxl type-3 device.  Odd that decoder0.0 shows up when CFMW is there,
	 but not when it isn't.

	 Note: All these tests have two root ports:
	 -device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=52 \
   -device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,chassis=0,port=0,slot=0 \
   -device cxl-rp,id=rp1,bus=cxl.0,chassis=0,port=1,slot=1 \


Don't know why I haven't thought of this until now, but is the CFMW code
reporting something odd about what's behind it?  Is it assuming the
devices are pmem?

Yes, pmem was the initial focus because it had the most dependency on
the OS to setup vs BIOS, but the ram enabling is at the top of the queue
now.

As it stands currently that dax device and the cxl device are not
related since a default dax-device is loaded just based on the presence
of an EFI_MEMORY_SP address range in the address map. With the new ram
enabling that default device will be elided and CXL will register a
dax-device parented by a cxl region.

That *manually* part is the problem that needs distro help to solve. It
should be the case that by default all Linux distributions auto-online
all dax-devices. If that happens to online memory that is too slow for
general use, or too high-performance / precious for general purpose use
then the administrator can set policy after the fact. Unfortunately user
policy can not be applied if these memory ranges were onlined by the
kernel at boot , so that's why the kernel policy defaults to not-online.

In other words, there is no guarantee that memory that was assigned to
the general purpose pool at boot can be removed. The only guaranteed
behavior is to never give the memory to the core kernel in the first
instance and always let user policy route the memory.

Correct, the top-level bus code (cxl_acpi) and the endpoint code
(cxl_mem, cxl_port) need to handshake before establishing regions. For
pmem regions the platform needs to claim the availability of a pmem
capable CXL window.

CXL windows are modeled as decoders hanging off the the CXL root device
(ACPI0017 on ACPI based platforms). An endpoint decoder can then map a
selection of that window.

No, the cxl_acpi code is just advertising platform decode possibilities
independent of what devices show up. Think of this like the PCI MMIO
space that gets allocated to a root bridge at the beginning of time.
That space may or may not get consumed based on what devices show up
downstream.

Thank you for the explanation Dan, and thank you for you patience
@JCameron.  I'm fairly sure I grok it now.

Summarizing to make sure: the cxl driver is providing what would be the
CXL.io (control) path, and the CXL.mem path is basically being simulated
by what otherwise would be a traditional PCI memory region. This explains
why turning off Legacy mode drops the dax devices, and why the topology
looks strange - the devices are basically attached in 2 different ways.

Might there be interest from the QEMU community to implement this
legacy-style setup in the short term, in an effort to test the the
control path of type-3 devices while we wait for the kernel to catch up?

Or should we forget this mode ever existed and just barrel forward
with HDM decoders and writing the kernel code to hook up the underlying
devices in drivers/cxl?

Which mode are you referring?

The next steps for the kernel enabling relevant to this thread are:

* ram region discovery (platform firmware or kexec established)
* ram region creation
* pmem region discovery (from labels)

On some bios there is an option for "legacy cxl" which produces the
nvdimm-esque behavior described above.  After further investigation,
supporting this would require a bigger lift than i expected since the
existing emulated CXL devices don't carry any kind of node assignment
and we'd have to plumb that through

Not worth it, better off working towards the new stuff.

I'd happily review such code, but it's not on my list of things to work on
otherwise. Too many other things to support!

Absolutely on pmem.  Target for kernel side of things was always pmem
first. Volatile has been on roadmap / todo list for a few kernel cycles
but I haven't seen any code yet.

Interesting.  Just curious, is the host a CXL 1.1 host or a CXL 2.0 host?

That should be harmless and may be needed to tie everything
through to DAX.

IIRC

decoder0.0 represents the fixed routing in the host as defined
by the CFMWS - not an actual programmable decoder.

decoder1.0 is the routing in the host bridge - may be pass through
decoder if there is only one root port.

decoder2.0 is the one is the endpoint itself.

It reports the ability to support pmem or support volatile or support both.
Currently
https://elixir.bootlin.com/qemu/latest/source/hw/acpi/cxl.c#L107
qemu reports that all CFMWS windows support everything except
"Fixed Device Configuration (Bit[4])" which would tell the OS not
to move devices that are already programmed out of this window
and doesn't really make sense for QEMU to ever set.
That is we support all of:
Device Coherent (type 2 and back invalidate flows on type 3, though we
aren't emulating the back invalidate stuff yet on the EP)
Host only coherent. [thinking about it we should probably not
support both this and device coherent as they would be mutually
incompatible on a real host]
Volatile
Persistent

Whilst I still have no idea if this is the same problem, I have identified
what goes wrong if there is a module probe ordering issue.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2-rc4/source/drivers/cxl/core/pmem.c#L306

	/*
	 * The two actions below arrange for @cxl_nvd to be deleted when either
	 * the top-level PMEM bridge goes down, or the endpoint device goes
	 * through ->remove().
	 */
	device_lock(&cxl_nvb->dev);
	if (cxl_nvb->dev.driver)
		rc = devm_add_action_or_reset(&cxl_nvb->dev, cxl_nvd_unregister,
					      cxl_nvd);
	else
// bridge driver not loaded, so we hit this path.
		rc = -ENXIO;
	device_unlock(&cxl_nvb->dev);

	if (rc)
/// and this one
		goto err_alloc;

	/* @cxlmd carries a reference on @cxl_nvb until cxlmd_release_nvdimm */
	return devm_add_action_or_reset(&cxlmd->dev, cxlmd_release_nvdimm, cxlmd);

err:
	put_device(dev);
err_alloc:
	cxlmd->cxl_nvb = NULL;
	cxlmd->cxl_nvd = NULL;
	put_device(&cxl_nvb->dev);
// whilst we scrub the pointers we don't actually get rid of the
// cxl_nvd that we registered.  Hence later load of the driver tries to
// attach to that and boom because we've scrubbed these pointers here.
// A quick hack is to just call device_del(&cxl_nvd->dev) if rc = -ENXIO here.
// There may well be a races though....
	return rc;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(devm_cxl_add_nvdimm, CXL);


Of course this "fix" just stops things blowing up, it doesn't leave things
in a remotely useful state.  If it's triggered because someone
is messing with the load order that's fine.  If the same issue
is occurring for Gregory, not so much.

Apologies for not engaging on this sooner, I have been heads down on
trying to get pre-existing region enumeration on its feet.

One workaround for this is to just preclude the load order scenario from
happening by making the pmem enabling part of the core module. There is
not much reason for it to exist indepdendently.

...but I think it is useful to be able to have some policy for disabling
all pmem enabling in an emergency. So I think fixing the cxl_nvd
unregistration is the right way to go.

mild hint in the dev_cxl_add_nvdimm_bridge path

driver/cxl/acpi.c

static int cxl_acpi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
... snip ...
  if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_PMEM))
    rc = device_for_each_child(&root_port->dev, root_port,
             add_root_nvdimm_bridge);
  if (rc < 0)
    return rc;

  /* In case PCI is scanned before ACPI re-trigger memdev attach */
  cxl_bus_rescan();
  return 0;
}


if PCI is presently written in a way that it's expecting nvdimm_bridge
to be present (via acpi_probe), then clearly this would break.

From the other discussion here... that seems to be the issue?  If that's
an issue, I also imagine there are other parts that may be subject to
the same problem.


static int cxl_pmem_region_probe(struct device *dev)
{
  struct nd_mapping_desc mappings[CXL_DECODER_MAX_INTERLEAVE];
  struct cxl_pmem_region *cxlr_pmem = to_cxl_pmem_region(dev);
  struct cxl_region *cxlr = cxlr_pmem->cxlr;
  struct cxl_nvdimm_bridge *cxl_nvb = cxlr->cxl_nvb;


this may be unreachable due to prior stack traces, but you get the
point.

Reiterating my confusion a bit: I don't have an nvdimm, why am i getting
an nvdimm_bridge?  The reason it no longer appears to trigger on my
memexp example is because it doesnt go down this path:

static int cxl_mem_probe(struct device *dev)
{
... snip ...

  // resource size is 0 here due to type3dev->persistent_capacity=0
  if (resource_size(&cxlds->pmem_res) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_PMEM)) {
    rc = devm_cxl_add_nvdimm(cxlmd);
    if (rc == -ENODEV)
      dev_info(dev, "PMEM disabled by platform\n");
    else
      return rc;
  }
... snip ...
}

This seems like more than an ordering issue.

I'll see if I can't get this branch installed and test if this fixes the
issue i'm seeing.  It may take me a bit to get back to.

Thank you!
