Ok patch with the changes requested. Check in core/sysfs.c removed.



Subject: ib core: Make device counter infrastructure dynamic V3

V1->V2:
 - Use enums for counters for cxgb3/cxgb4
 - Use BUILD_BUG_ON instead of BUG_ON

V2->v3
 - Change the way to check for MAX_NR_PROTOCOL_STATS
 - Fix typo

The current approach in ib_verbs.h is to define a struct with
statistics fields. ib_verbs is an abstraction layer for
device drivers and the protocol_stats should be abstract. However,
in practice these are actually device specific counters (also used
in such a way in Mellanox OFED). The device stats are a union
and in practice evolve to a union of device specific stats.

ARGH!!!

This should not be defined in a concrete way in ib_verbs.h since the
API definition needs to be device neutral.

What we need is an API that can return an arbitrary number
of counters that may be general or device specific.

Here we simply define an array of strings that describe the
counters and an array of 64 bit counters that are
displayed through sysfs. This makes ib_verbs API appropriately
abstract and device drivers do not need to update ib_verbs.h
(and thus break the API) to add more counters,.

This patch is groundwork to later define the protocol stats for
Mellanox devices.

The strings being used in the device drives should only be present
if the driver actually supports those counters. If there is
a standardized name then devices should use the same name
as in other infiniband device drivers.

Note on cxgb3/4 portions:
- I was unable to test because of the lack of hardware
- The counters that are never incremented were omitted. There may be the
  impression that less counter are supported. But the other counters
  have never been supported.

Thanks, this looks good now.  When the other two patches come through
I'll apply the group.

I think this is a fine idea, but I think we need to document the
common set of counters and what it is they mean, otherwise it will
just be chaos for userspace :(

The MIB based counters and IBTA are already defined fortunately, just
need to have common names.

The patch can stand on its own and there has been the expectation
expressed by Mellanox that they want to see this merged first. Guess this
is to reduce the amount of rewrite they would have to do if things change.
Then also the team from Mellanox can directly merge the driver changes
without my involvement.

OK.  There are comments from Jason outstanding, and I found one thing
that I missed in my earlier reviews.  I think we need to refactor how we
pull out the stats, or at least consider doing so.  In particular, look
at how many stats the cxgb3 driver fills in:

+	stats->dirname = "iw_stats";
+	stats->name = names;
+
+	stats->value[IPINRECEIVES] = ((u64)m.ipInReceive_hi << 32) +
m.ipInReceive_lo;
+	stats->value[IPINHDRERRORS] = ((u64)m.ipInHdrErrors_hi << 32) +
m.ipInHdrErrors_lo;
+	stats->value[IPINADDRERRORS] = ((u64)m.ipInAddrErrors_hi << 32) +
m.ipInAddrErrors_lo;
+	stats->value[IPINUNKNOWNPROTOS] = ((u64)m.ipInUnknownProtos_hi << 32)
+ m.ipInUnknownProtos_lo;
+	stats->value[IPINDISCARDS] = ((u64)m.ipInDiscards_hi << 32) +
m.ipInDiscards_lo;
+	stats->value[IPINDELIVERS] = ((u64)m.ipInDelivers_hi << 32) +
m.ipInDelivers_lo;
+	stats->value[IPOUTREQUESTS] = ((u64)m.ipOutRequests_hi << 32) +
m.ipOutRequests_lo;
+	stats->value[IPOUTDISCARDS] = ((u64)m.ipOutDiscards_hi << 32) +
m.ipOutDiscards_lo;
+	stats->value[IPOUTNOROUTES] = ((u64)m.ipOutNoRoutes_hi << 32) +
m.ipOutNoRoutes_lo;
+	stats->value[IPREASMTIMEOUT] = 	m.ipReasmTimeout;
+	stats->value[IPREASMREQDS] = m.ipReasmReqds;
+	stats->value[IPREASMOKS] = m.ipReasmOKs;
+	stats->value[IPREASMFAILS] = m.ipReasmFails;
+	stats->value[TCPACTIVEOPENS] =	m.tcpActiveOpens;
+	stats->value[TCPPASSIVEOPENS] =	m.tcpPassiveOpens;
+	stats->value[TCPATTEMPTFAILS] = m.tcpAttemptFails;
+	stats->value[TCPESTABRESETS] = m.tcpEstabResets;
+	stats->value[TCPCURRESTAB] = m.tcpOutRsts;
+	stats->value[TCPINSEGS] = m.tcpCurrEstab;
+	stats->value[TCPOUTSEGS] = ((u64)m.tcpInSegs_hi << 32) + m.tcpInSegs_lo;
+	stats->value[TCPRETRANSSEGS] = ((u64)m.tcpOutSegs_hi << 32) +
m.tcpOutSegs_lo;
+	stats->value[TCPINERRS] = ((u64)m.tcpRetransSeg_hi << 32) +
m.tcpRetransSeg_lo,
+	stats->value[TCPOUTRSTS] = ((u64)m.tcpInErrs_hi << 32) + m.tcpInErrs_lo;
+	stats->value[TCPRTOMIN] = m.tcpRtoMin;
+	stats->value[TCPRTOMAX] = m.tcpRtoMax;

That's a lot of copies, and shifts, and everything else.  Then look at
what it does to get them:

 	ret = dev->rdev.t3cdev_p->ctl(dev->rdev.t3cdev_p, RDMA_GET_MIB, &m);

I didn't dig too deep, but that looks suspiciously like it might be an
actual mailbox command to the card.  That can be rather expensive.

Then look at how we get the stats to print them to user space:

+static ssize_t show_protocol_stats(struct ib_device *dev, int index,
+				   u8 port, char *buf)
+{
+	struct rdma_protocol_stats stats = {0};
+	ssize_t ret;
+
+	ret = dev->get_protocol_stats(dev, &stats, port);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	return sprintf(buf, "%llu\n", stats.value[index]);
+}

In a nutshell, we go through the effort of a suspected mailbox command,
then we fill in all of the stats including all of the copies and shifts
and everything else, then we print out precisely one and only one stat
before we throw the rest of them away.  If someone goes into the stats
directory for a card and does cat * or for i in *; do echo -ne "$i:\t";
cat $i; done, then we will issue 25 mailbox commands, and fill out all
25 stats structs 25 times, just to print out one complete set of stats.
For cxgb4 this isn't so bad, it's only got 4 items.  But the longer the
list gets, the worst this is because it makes our efficiency of
operation O(n^2).  Since we can't break out mailbox commands to only
provide part of the data, I think we need to consider using a cached
struct for each device.  If the cached data is less than a certain age
on subsequent reads, we use the cached data.  If it's too old, we
discard it and get new data.

It is not a mailbox command, but indirect register reads (ie a write_reg +
read_reg operation).  See
cxgb_rdma_ctl(RDMA_GIT_MIB)->t3_tp_get_mib_stats()->t3_read_indirect().

I noticed this too, but for sysfs reading I just felt it doesn't
matter.

Ultimately a followup patch should export the entire stats block
through netlink as one operation and nothing should use sysfs except
debugging. Keeping the driver interface simple seems valuable.

Caching is going to detrimental to apps that sync stats with external
time. (which is almost every real-world app)

I prefer not to have O(n^2), even for sysfs.  You say it doesn't matter,
but if someone creates a script to check all of their stats via sysfs
once per second, and we start talking about mlx4 or mlx5 where they are
going to export a lot more variables, it eventually gets bad.

> Ultimately a followup patch should export the entire stats block

That's perfectly fine.

> and nothing should use sysfs except

Nobody manually checking on numbers themselves will use netlink.  And if
the stats are there, people will check them.  You can't depend on this
being used for debug access only.  If I recall correctly, ibstatus uses
all sysfs entries, and people would easily think that using it uses the
"preferred" method.  So, like I said, if it's there, it *will* get used,
and not just for debug,

> Keeping the driver interface simple seems valuable.

If you cache it in the core, the driver interface is simple.  And given
that the core is where the stats block is allocated and deallocated,
that's where the caching would need to be.  And it's not really that
hard.  I'll whip something up here in a bit...

That's problematic with or without caching as the stats don't have a
timestamp, so scheduling delays could easily make the stats that you get
have a significant variance in time between the time they were retrieved
and when you actually processed them.  Are you suggesting we should go
ahead and add a timestamp to the stats output?

Well, it matters if it actually takes a long time, but I don't really
care of it is O(n^2) and still only adding a few additional 100us's..

Why would people manually use sysfs? A netlink interface would be
accompanied by a tool. I don't schlep around in sysfs for netdev, I
use 'ip -s link show'

One can avoid scheduling delays with the right SCHED_ policy, how do
you avoid timing jitter from caching?

If I understood Steve's response to this thread right, each access to
these stats on cxgb3 still involves a PCI register read/write.  Is that
right Steve?  Not a mailbox command but config space access?

Anyway, it's easy to imagine that as this grows, it might include more
and more stuff that hits the card.  I'm loathe to doing something as
inefficient as "read all stats, print one stat" on every access.

And how are you going to get RNR Retries from an IB device with that?
It might get added in the future, but it's currently not there (and
there's a decent argument against adding it to ip since that's actually
looking at the ipoib device and not the underlying ib device).  For some
stats, you may have no choice but to schlep around in sysfs.  If someone
does that, it needs to not suck.

I don't say I do.  I was pointing out that this isn't the distinction
you make it out to be.  However, as I'm working on this, the stats are
aged, and when they pass a certain age, they get recollected.  To make
that happen, I save the age in jiffies when they are taken.  That could
be used to provide their timestamp and give meaningful time context to
the counter.  They simply don't when you are reading the files in sysfs.

We don't have a netlink tool for rdma devices yet, I'm imagining that
as part of adding netlink bulk access.

Why do all this weird work to solve a problem we don't even have?
netlink is the way to get bulk stats out of devices, that is what
netdev does, overkilling sysfs seems unnecessary...
