[RFC PATCH] vhost_net: should not use max_queue_pairs for non-mq guest
Posted by Si-Wei Liu 2 years, 1 month ago
With MQ enabled vdpa device and non-MQ supporting guest e.g.
booting vdpa with mq=on over OVMF of single vqp, it's easy
to hit assert failure as the following:

../hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c:560: vhost_vdpa_get_vq_index: Assertion `idx >= dev->vq_index && idx < dev->vq_index + dev->nvqs' failed.

The cause for the assert failure is due to that the vhost_dev index
for the ctrl vq was not aligned with actual one in use by the guest.
Upon multiqueue feature negotiation in virtio_net_set_multiqueue(),
if guest doesn't support multiqueue, the guest vq layout would shrink
to single queue pair of 3 vqs in total (rx, tx and ctrl). This results
in ctrl_vq taking a different vhost_dev group index than the default
n->max_queue_pairs, the latter of which is only valid for multiqueue
guest. While on those additional vqs not exposed to the guest,
vhost_net_set_vq_index() never populated vq_index properly, hence
getting the assert failure.

A possible fix is to pick the correct vhost_dev group for the control
vq according to this table [*]:

vdpa tool / QEMU arg / guest config    / ctrl_vq group index
----------------------------------------------------------------
max_vqp 8 / mq=on    / mq=off  (UEFI) => data_queue_pairs
max_vqp 8 / mq=on    / mq=on  (Linux) => n->max_queue_pairs(>1)
max_vqp 8 / mq=off   / mq=on  (Linux) => n->max_queue_pairs(=1)

[*] Please see FIXME in the code for open question and discussion

See below, it looks like the code doesn't find the correct vhost_dev.

Relevant but not directly related, for the vhost_dev where
nc->is_datapath is false, it will assume it is backed by a single
queue not a queue pair.

Note that the vq_index of each vhost_dev is assigned during
vhost_net_start() according to whether or not the MQ or CVQ is
negotiated in vhost_net_start()

    for (i = 0; i < nvhosts; i++) {

        if (i < data_queue_pairs) {
            peer = qemu_get_peer(ncs, i);
        } else { /* Control Virtqueue */
            peer = qemu_get_peer(ncs, n->max_queue_pairs);
        }

        net = get_vhost_net(peer);
        vhost_net_set_vq_index(net, i * 2, index_end);

It means some of the peers won't be used when MQ is not negotiated. So
it looks to me the evil came from virtio_net_get_notifier_mask().
Where it doesn't mask the correct vhost dev when the guest doesn't
support MQ but the host does. So we had option 4:

Yes, there it is. Where the control virtqueue first ever needs a 
guest_notifier for vhost_dev.

Hmmm, I thought it would be more natural to align the layout of 
vhost_dev's with that of virtqueue's, not the other way around. Not sure 
how this vhost_dev selection scheme may work with additional queues 
discovered through transport specific mechanism, such as the admin 
virtqueue, but I can live with it for now:

The problem is that we need to make sure it works for vhost_net as

Any reason for this line?

Btw, would you mind to post a formal patch for this?

This corresponds to the following asserts:

assert(virtio_vdev_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ));

If the QEMU or guest doesn't support control vq, there's no need to 
bother exposing vhost_dev and guest notifier for the control vq. Noted 
the vhost_net_start/stop implies DRIVER_OK is set in device status, 
meaning feature negotiation is complete already (same as n->multiqueue).

I would love to, there was a set of mq bug fixes sitting in my queue 
pending on paper work, but I had been dragged to other stuff earlier 
this week. I will try to post it early next week.
