[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/mmcfg: add "force" option for MCFG
Posted by Igor Druzhinin 4 years, 8 months ago
If MCFG area is not reserved in E820 Xen by default will defer its usage
until Dom0 registers it explicitly after ACPI parser recognizes it as
a reserved resource in DSDT. Having it reserved in E820 is not
mandatory according to "PCI Firmware Specification, rev 3.2" (par. 4.1.2)
and firmware is free to keep a hole E820 in that place.

Unfortunately, keeping it disabled at this point makes Xen fail to
recognize many of PCIe extended capabilities early enough for newly added
devices. Namely, (1) some of VT-d quirks are not applied during Dom0
device handoff, (2) currently MCFG reservation report comes
too late from Dom0 after some of PCI devices being registered in Xen
by Dom0 kernel that break initialization of a number of PCIe capabilities
(e.g. SR-IOV VF BAR sizing).

Since introduction of ACPI parser in Xen is not possible add a "force"
option that will allow Xen to use MCFG area even it's not properly
reserved in E820.

I think we need to have this option to at least have a way to workaround
problem (1). Problem (2) could be solved in Dom0 kernel by invoking
xen_mcfg_late() earlier but before the first PCI bus enumertaion which
currently happens somwhere during ACPI scan I think.

The question is what the defult value for this option should be?

Thanks! I think this is the best way to solve the issue.

Have you tested this against a variety of hardware?

Have you found any box that has a wrong MMCFG area in the MCFG static
table? (ie: one that doesn't match the motherboard resource
reservation in the dynamic ACPI tables?)

Please use uint64_t and unsigned int. Also it looks like this
function wants to return a bool instead of an int.

unsigned int.

Coding style. Some parts of this file are using the Linux coding
style I think, but new additions should be using the Xen coding
style, see e820_change_range_type for example.

You could also consider adding a new flag to pci_probe, ie:
PCI_PROBE_FORCE_MMCFG.

I think it should be fine to also accept a MMCFG area that's partially
reserved and partially a hole in the memory map?

AFAICT the proposed code will only accept MMCFG regions that are
fully in a memory map hole.

Thanks, Roger.

Not yet, I presume it's possible in theory that there is such a box in
the wild that will misbehave if we attempt to access MCFG earlier it'd
be discovered through ACPI. Other than that I don't see a reason why it
would cause any problem. But you're right - we need to run some tests
with this option set to true on our fleet before deciding.

I think it's possible that size of the table reported from ACPI is
smaller which would be a problem if we access out-of-bounds preliminary
- hence the ability to fall back. But I'm not aware of any hardware like
that.

The problem here is that I want this function be similar to the one
below (e820_all_mapped) which is copied from Linux as well as the rest
of the file. At the same time I don't want to introduce code churn
fixing unrelated style issues. Perhaps it's better to keep style of this
function as is? Or do you think it's still better to unify the style
across both of them (perhaps in a separate commit)?

I was thinking about that too. Will switch to that method if you think
that is better.

What case particularly are you referring to? Partially covered case is
handled above where the beginning of reserved region corresponds to the
beginning of the table. Other than that (if a reserved region is
randomly located within a reported area) I think is totally ambiguous
and should be considered broken.

The reason why Linux had put these two checks (E820 and ACPI) in place
(and we cloned them) was that in the old days (at least until around
the first x86-64 systems appearing) there were many such systems (iirc
more than there were well behaved ones). The bad situation with BIOSes
was also why the various chipset probing methods had been introduced.

Anyway - the main risk with using MCFG without knowing the range is
suitably reserved is that other things may live in that range (e.g.
BARs may have been allocated there). Therefore I don't think we can
reasonably default this option to "true", irrespective whether
perhaps _all_ systems in your testing fleet are well behaved in this
regard.

Since we're trying to gradually switch to uint<N>_t, I think new code
should by default use the intended types. Exceptions would be imports
of entire files from Linux. If you followed up your change with one
converting the other function(s) to the intended types as well, that'd
be much appreciated, but is imo not a requirement.

Yes please, albeit to be in sync with the other flag perhaps
better PCI_PROBE_FORCE_MMCONF or PCI_PROBE_MMCONF_FORCE.

Indeed (2) should be fixed as you say here. (1) should imo be fixed
differently too: pci_vtd_quirk() (and anything else that relies on
extended config space accesses) should be re-invoked once MCFG becomes
available for a given bus (range).

Nevertheless I think the command line option is a good thing to have.

The term "force" is too heavy for my taste: You still require the
range to be at least in an E820 hole. "allow-e820-hole" otoh is a
little longish. Perhaps "relaxed"?

Just bool please.

Brace placement is wrong in your additions. I also don't really see
why you do away with the switch().

I don't think saying "use" is a good idea. If anything, make it less
strict - either by attaching "if ..." or by saying "consider using".
