 An NPU is a NVLink bridge, it is not PCI in any sense. We (the host
 powerpc firmware known as "skiboot" or "opal") have chosen to emulate a
 virtual bridge per 1 NVLink on the firmware level. So for each physical
 NPU there are 6 virtual bridges. So the NVIDIA driver does not need to
 know much about NPUs.

 No, only via the device tree. The skiboot puts the ATSD register 
 address
 to the PHB's DT property called 'ibm,mmio-atsd' of these virtual 
 bridges.

 One "IBM Device" bridge represents one NVLink2, i.e. a piece of NPU.
 They all and 3 GPUs go to the same IOMMU group and get passed through 
 to
 a guest.

 The entire NPU does not have representation via sysfs as a whole 
 though.

 I'm not that familiar with how this was originally set up, but note that 
 Alexey is just making it work exactly like baremetal does. The baremetal 
 GPU driver works as-is in the VM and expects the same properties in the 
 device-tree. Obviously it doesn't have to be that way, but there is 
 value in keeping it identical.

FYI, all this code has never been used in the three years it was in the

 An NPU is a NVLink bridge, it is not PCI in any sense. We (the host
 powerpc firmware known as "skiboot" or "opal") have chosen to emulate a
 virtual bridge per 1 NVLink on the firmware level. So for each physical
 NPU there are 6 virtual bridges. So the NVIDIA driver does not need to
 know much about NPUs.

 No, only via the device tree. The skiboot puts the ATSD register address
 to the PHB's DT property called 'ibm,mmio-atsd' of these virtual bridges.

One "IBM Device" bridge represents one NVLink2, i.e. a piece of NPU.
They all and 3 GPUs go to the same IOMMU group and get passed through to
a guest.

The entire NPU does not have representation via sysfs as a whole though.


So the NPU is a bridge, but it uses a normal header type so vfio-pci
will bind to it?


An NPU is a NVLink bridge, it is not PCI in any sense. We (the host
powerpc firmware known as "skiboot" or "opal") have chosen to emulate a
virtual bridge per 1 NVLink on the firmware level. So for each physical
NPU there are 6 virtual bridges. So the NVIDIA driver does not need to
know much about NPUs.
  

And the ATSD register that we need on it is not
accessible through these PCI representations of the sub-pieces of the
NPU?  Thanks,


No, only via the device tree. The skiboot puts the ATSD register address
to the PHB's DT property called 'ibm,mmio-atsd' of these virtual bridges.


Ok, so the NPU is essential a virtual device already, mostly just a
stub.  But it seems that each NPU is associated to a specific GPU, how
is that association done?  In the use case here it seems like it's just
a vehicle to provide this ibm,mmio-atsd property to guest DT and the tgt
routing information to the GPU.  So if both of those were attached to
the GPU, there'd be no purpose in assigning the NPU other than it's in
the same IOMMU group with a type 0 header, so something needs to be
done with it.  If it's a virtual device, perhaps it could have a type 1
header so vfio wouldn't care about it, then we would only assign the
GPU with these extra properties, which seems easier for management
tools and users.  If the guest driver needs a visible NPU device, QEMU
could possibly emulate one to make the GPU association work
automatically.  Maybe this isn't really a problem, but I wonder if
you've looked up the management stack to see what tools need to know to
assign these NPU devices and whether specific configurations are
required to make the NPU to GPU association work.  Thanks,


I'm not that familiar with how this was originally set up, but note that
Alexey is just making it work exactly like baremetal does. The baremetal
GPU driver works as-is in the VM and expects the same properties in the
device-tree. Obviously it doesn't have to be that way, but there is
value in keeping it identical.

Another probably bigger point is that the NPU device also implements the
nvlink HW interface and is required for actually training and
maintaining the link up. The driver in the guest trains the links by
programming both the GPU end and the NPU end of each link so the NPU
device needs to be exposed to the guest.


Ok, so there is functionality in assigning the NPU device itself, it's
not just an attachment point for meta data.  But it still seems there
must be some association of NPU to GPU, the tgt address seems to pair
the NPU with a specific GPU, they're not simply a fungible set of NPUs
and GPUs.  Is that association explicit anywhere or is it related to
the topology or device numbering that needs to match between the host
and guest?  Thanks,


GPUs are linked to NPU devices through device tree properties, I think. 
Linux has a helper to look up linked NPU devices for a PCI device

POWER9 Witherspoon machines come with 4 or 6 V100 GPUs which are not
pluggable PCIe devices but implement PCIe links for config space and MMIO.
In addition to that the GPUs are interconnected to each other and also
have direct links to the P9 CPU. The links are NVLink2 and provide direct
access to the system RAM for GPUs via NPU (an NVLink2 "proxy" on P9 chip).
These systems also support ATS (address translation services) which is
a part of the NVLink2 prototol. Such GPUs also share on-board RAM
(16GB in tested config) to the system via the same NVLink2 so a CPU has
cache-coherent access to a GPU RAM.

This exports GPU RAM to the userspace as a new PCI region. This
preregisters the new memory as device memory as it might be used for DMA.
This inserts pfns from the fault handler as the GPU memory is not onlined
until the NVIDIA driver is loaded and trained the links so doing this
earlier produces low level errors which we fence in the firmware so
it does not hurt the host system but still better to avoid.

This exports ATSD (Address Translation Shootdown) register of NPU which
allows the guest to invalidate TLB. The register conviniently occupies
a single 64k page. Since NPU maps the GPU memory, it has a "tgt" property
(which is an abbreviated host system bus address). This exports the "tgt"
as a capability so the guest can program it into the GPU so the GPU can
know how to route DMA trafic.


I'm not really following what "tgt" is and why it's needed.  Is the GPU
memory here different than the GPU RAM region above?  Why does the user
need the host system bus address of this "tgt" thing?  Are we not able
to relocate it in guest physical address space, does this shootdown
only work in the host physical address space and therefore we need this
offset?  Please explain, I'm confused.



This "tgt" is made of:
- "memory select" (bits 45, 46)
- "group select" (bits 43, 44)
- "chip select" (bit 42)
- chip internal address (bits 0..41)

These are internal to GPU and this is where GPU RAM is mapped into the
GPU's real space, this fits 46 bits.

On POWER9 CPU the bits are different and higher so the same memory is
mapped higher on P9 CPU. Just because we can map it higher, I guess.

So it is not exactly the address but this provides the exact physical
location of the memory.

We have a group of 3 interconnected GPUs, they got their own
memory/group/chip numbers. The GPUs use ATS service to translate
userspace to physical (host or guest) addresses. Now a GPU needs to know
which specific link to use for a specific physical address, in other
words what this physical address belongs to - a CPU or one of GPUs. This
is when "tgt" is used by the GPU hardware.


Clear as mud ;)


/me is sad. I hope Piotr explained it better...


It's starting to be a bit more clear, and Piotr anticipated the
security questions I was mulling over.


Great.




So tgt, provided by the npu2 capability of the ATSD
region of the NPU tells the GPU (a completely separate device) how to
route it its own RAM via its NVLink interface?  How can one tgt
indicate the routing for multiple interfaces?


This NVLink DMA is using direct host physical addresses (no IOMMU, no
filtering) which come from ATS. So unless we tell the GPU its own
address range on the host CPU, it will route trafic via CPU. And the
driver can also discover the NVLink topology and tell each GPU physical
addresses of peer GPUs.


I think this is a key point too, the tgt seems to only identify the
routing for the GPU local RAM, but the guest driver is able to
conglomerate this information so each GPU knows how to get directly to
the other GPUs.


Yes.




A GPU could run all the DMA trafic via the system bus indeed, just not
as fast.

I am also struggling here and adding an Nvidia person in cc: (I should
have done that when I posted the patches, my bad) to correct when/if I
am wrong.


  
  

For ATS to work, the nest MMU (an NVIDIA block in a P9 CPU) needs to
know LPID (a logical partition ID or a KVM guest hardware ID in other
words) and PID (a memory context ID of an userspace process, not to be
confused with a linux pid). This assigns a GPU to LPID in the NPU and
this is why this adds a listener for KVM on an IOMMU group. A PID comes
via NVLink from a GPU and NPU uses a PID wildcard to pass it through.

This requires coherent memory and ATSD to be available on the host as
the GPU vendor only supports configurations with both features enabled
and other configurations are known not to work. Because of this and
because of the ways the features are advertised to the host system
(which is a device tree with very platform specific properties),

This NVLink DMA is using direct host physical addresses (no IOMMU, no
filtering) which come from ATS. So unless we tell the GPU its own
address range on the host CPU, it will route trafic via CPU. And the
driver can also discover the NVLink topology and tell each GPU physical
addresses of peer GPUs.

 know LPID (a logical partition ID or a KVM guest hardware ID in other

 confused with a linux pid). This assigns a GPU to LPID in the NPU and

 via NVLink from a GPU and NPU uses a PID wildcard to pass it through.

 the GPU vendor only supports configurations with both features enabled
 and other configurations are known not to work. Because of this and
 because of the ways the features are advertised to the host system

 this requires enabled POWERNV platform.

So it is not exactly the address but this provides the exact physical
location of the memory.

We have a group of 3 interconnected GPUs, they got their own

which specific link to use for a specific physical address, in other
words what this physical address belongs to - a CPU or one of GPUs. This
is when "tgt" is used by the GPU hardware.


Clear as mud ;)  So tgt, provided by the npu2 capability of the ATSD
region of the NPU tells the GPU (a completely separate device) how to
route it its own RAM via its NVLink interface?  How can one tgt
indicate the routing for multiple interfaces?


The tgt addresses are read by the GPU driver for each GPU from the 
device tree properties and are used to program routing for all the GPUs 
in the VM. Each GPU needs to know:
1) Its own address range so that it can route ATS accesses to it 
directly to its RAM.
2) All direct peer GPUs (connected with nvlink directly) address ranges 
so that it can route accesses to peers through links going directly to 
those peers.

3) Everything else gets routed to the links going to the CPU.

Anticipating a question about the security implications of allowing the 
guest to configure this routing, no, this is not a problem:
1) If a range gets misprogrammed causing an access to be routed to the 
CPU nvlink incorrectly, the CPU still receives the full physical address 
of the access and can drop or re-route it correctly.
2) If a range gets misprogrammed causing an access to go to a peer GPU 
incorrectly, the guest can corrupt memory of that peer GPU, but it fully 
owns that GPU anyway.
3) If a range gets misprogrammed causing an access to go to local GPU 
memory incorrectly, the guest can corrupt that memory, but it fully owns 
it anyway.

A GPU could run all the DMA trafic via the system bus indeed, just not
as fast.

I am also struggling here and adding an Nvidia person in cc: (I should
have done that when I posted the patches, my bad) to correct when/if I
am wrong.





For ATS to work, the nest MMU (an NVIDIA block in a P9 CPU) needs to
know LPID (a logical partition ID or a KVM guest hardware ID in other
words) and PID (a memory context ID of an userspace process, not to be
confused with a linux pid). This assigns a GPU to LPID in the NPU and
this is why this adds a listener for KVM on an IOMMU group. A PID comes
via NVLink from a GPU and NPU uses a PID wildcard to pass it through.

I'm not really following what "tgt" is and why it's needed.  Is the GPU
memory here different than the GPU RAM region above?  Why does the user

[PATCH kernel 3/3] vfio_pci: Add NVIDIA GV100GL [Tesla V100 SXM2] [10de:1db1] subdriver

2018-10-15 Thread Alexey Kardashevskiy
POWER9 Witherspoon machines come with 4 or 6 V100 GPUs which are not
pluggable PCIe devices but implement PCIe links for config space and MMIO.
In addition to that the GPUs are interconnected to each other and also
have direct links to the P9 CPU. The links are NVLink2 and provide direct
access to the system RAM for GPUs via NPU (an NVLink2 "proxy" on P9 chip).
These systems also support ATS (address translation services) which is
a part of the NVLink2 prototol. Such GPUs also share on-board RAM
(16GB in tested config) to the system via the same NVLink2 so a CPU has
cache-coherent access to a GPU RAM.

This exports GPU RAM to the userspace as a new PCI region. This
preregisters the new memory as device memory as it might be used for DMA.
This inserts pfns from the fault handler as the GPU memory is not onlined
until the NVIDIA driver is loaded and trained the links so doing this
earlier produces low level errors which we fence in the firmware so
it does not hurt the host system but still better to avoid.

This exports ATSD (Address Translation Shootdown) register of NPU which
allows the guest to invalidate TLB. The register conviniently occupies
a single 64k page. Since NPU maps the GPU memory, it has a "tgt" property
(which is an abbreviated host system bus address). This exports the "tgt"
as a capability so the guest can program it into the GPU so the GPU can
know how to route DMA trafic.

For ATS to work, the nest MMU (an NVIDIA block in a P9 CPU) needs to
know LPID (a logical partition ID or a KVM guest hardware ID in other
words) and PID (a memory context ID of an userspace process, not to be
confused with a linux pid). This assigns a GPU to LPID in the NPU and
this is why this adds a listener for KVM on an IOMMU group. A PID comes
via NVLink from a GPU and NPU uses a PID wildcard to pass it through.

This requires coherent memory and ATSD to be available on the host as
the GPU vendor only supports configurations with both features enabled
and other configurations are known not to work. Because of this and
because of the ways the features are advertised to the host system
(which is a device tree with very platform specific properties),
this requires enabled POWERNV platform.

This hardcodes the NVLink2 support for specific vendor and device IDs
as there is no reliable way of knowing about coherent memory and ATS
support. The GPU has an unique vendor PCIe capability 0x23 but it was
confirmed that it does not provide required information (and it is still
undisclosed what it actually does).
