[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: introduce PVP reference benchmark
Maxime Coquelin

Tue Dec 6 13:24:40 CET 2016
Having reference benchmarks is important in order to obtain
reproducible performance figures.
This patch describes required steps to configure a PVP setup
using testpmd in both host and guest.
Not relying on external vSwitch ease integration in a CI loop by
not being impacted by DPDK API changes.

Thanks to all the reviewers, this v2 should take all remarks into account.

+PVP reference benchmark setup using testpmd
+===========================================
+
+This guide lists the steps required to setup a PVP benchmark using testpmd as
+a simple forwarder between NICs and Vhost interfaces. The goal of this setup
+is to have a reference PVP benchmark without using external vSwitches (OVS,
+VPP, ...) to make it easier to obtain reproducible results and to facilitate
+continuous integration testing.
+
+The guide covers two ways of launching the VM, either by directly calling the
+QEMU command line, or by relying on libvirt. It has been tested with DPDK
+v16.11 using RHEL7 for both host and guest.
+
+
+Setup overview
+--------------
+
+.. _figure_pvp_2nics:
+
+.. figure:: img/pvp_2nics.*
+
+ PVP setup using 2 NICs
+
+In this diagram, each red arrow represents one logical core. This use-case
+requires 6 dedicated logical cores. A forwarding configuration with a single
+NIC is also possible, requiring 3 logical cores.
+
+
+Host setup
+----------
+
+In this setup, we isolate 6 cores (from CPU2 to CPU7) on the same NUMA
+node. Two cores are assigned to the VM vCPUs running testpmd and four are
+assigned to testpmd on the host.
+
+
+Host tuning
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. On BIOS, disable turbo-boost and hyper-threads.
+
+#. Append these options to Kernel command line:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ intel_pstate=disable mce=ignore_ce default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6 isolcpus=2-7 rcu_nocbs=2-7 nohz_full=2-7 iommu=pt intel_iommu=on
+
+#. Disable hyper-threads at runtime if necessary or if BIOS is not accessible:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*[0-9]/topology/thread_siblings_list \
+ | sort | uniq \
+ | awk -F, '{system("echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu"$2"/online")}'
+
+#. Disable NMIs:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
+
+#. Exclude isolated CPUs from the writeback cpumask:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ echo ffffff03 > /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/cpumask
+
+#. Isolate CPUs from IRQs:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ clear_mask=0xfc #Isolate CPU2 to CPU7 from IRQs
+ for i in /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity
+ do
+ echo "obase=16;$(( 0x$(cat $i) & ~$clear_mask ))" | bc > $i
+ done
+
+
+Qemu build
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Build Qemu:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
+ cd qemu
+ mkdir bin
+ cd bin
+ ../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
+
+
+DPDK build
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Build DPDK:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ git clone git://dpdk.org/dpdk
+ cd dpdk
+ export RTE_SDK=$PWD
+ make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install
+
+
+Testpmd launch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Assign NICs to DPDK:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe vfio-pci
+ $RTE_SDK/install/sbin/dpdk-devbind -b vfio-pci 0000:11:00.0 0000:11:00.1
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The Sandy Bridge family seems to have some IOMMU limitations giving poor
+ performance results. To achieve good performance on these machines
+ consider using UIO instead.
+
+#. Launch the testpmd application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $RTE_SDK/install/bin/testpmd -l 0,2,3,4,5 --socket-mem=1024 -n 4 \
+ --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1' \
+ --vdev 'net_vhost1,iface=/tmp/vhost-user2' -- \
+ --portmask=f --disable-hw-vlan -i --rxq=1 --txq=1
+ --nb-cores=4 --forward-mode=io
+
+With this command, isolated CPUs 2 to 5 will be used as lcores for PMD threads.
+
+#. In testpmd interactive mode, set the portlist to obtain the correct port
+ chaining:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ set portlist 0,2,1,3
+ start
+
+
+VM launch
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The VM may be launched either by calling QEMU directly, or by using libvirt.
+
+#. Qemu way:
+
+Launch QEMU with two Virtio-net devices paired to the vhost-user sockets
+created by testpmd. Below example uses default Virtio-net options, but options
+may be specified, for example to disable mergeable buffers or indirect
+descriptors.
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ <QEMU path>/bin/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 3072 -smp 3 \
+ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost-user1 \
+ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:02:d9:01,addr=0x10 \
+ -chardev socket,id=char1,path=/tmp/vhost-user2 \
+ -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet2,chardev=char1,vhostforce \
+ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet2,mac=52:54:00:02:d9:02,addr=0x11 \
+ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=3072M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
+ -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
+ -net user,hostfwd=tcp::1002$1-:22 -net nic \
+ -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp.socket,server,nowait \
+ -monitor stdio <vm_image>.qcow2
+
+You can use this `qmp-vcpu-pin <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9361617/>`_
+script to pin vCPUs.
+
+It can be used as follows, for example to pin 3 vCPUs to CPUs 1, 6 and 7,
+where isolated CPUs 6 and 7 will be used as lcores for Virtio PMDs:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<QEMU path>/scripts/qmp
+ ./qmp-vcpu-pin -s /tmp/qmp.socket 1 6 7
+
+#. Libvirt way:
+
+Some initial steps are required for libvirt to be able to connect to testpmd's
+sockets.
+
+First, SELinux policy needs to be set to permissive, since testpmd is
+generally run as root (note, as reboot is required):
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cat /etc/selinux/config
+
+ # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
+ # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
+ # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
+ # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
+ # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
+ SELINUX=permissive
+
+ # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
+ # targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
+ # minimum - Modification of targeted policy.
+ # Only selected processes are protected.
+ # mls - Multi Level Security protection.
+ SELINUXTYPE=targeted
+
+
+Also, Qemu needs to be run as root, which has to be specified in
+``/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf``:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ user = "root"
+
+Once the domain created, the following snippet is an extract of he most
+important information (hugepages, vCPU pinning, Virtio PCI devices):
