  4 IAA Compression Accelerator Crypto Driver
  5 =========================================
  6 
  7 Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
  8 
  9 The IAA crypto driver supports compression/decompression compatible
 10 with the DEFLATE compression standard described in RFC 1951, which is
 11 the compression/decompression algorithm exported by this module.
 12 
 13 The IAA hardware spec can be found here:
 14 
 15   https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/721858
 16 
 17 The iaa_crypto driver is designed to work as a layer underneath
 18 higher-level compression devices such as zswap.
 19 
 20 Users can select IAA compress/decompress acceleration by specifying
 21 one of the supported IAA compression algorithms in whatever facility
 22 allows compression algorithms to be selected.
 23 
 24 For example, a zswap device can select the IAA 'fixed' mode
 25 represented by selecting the 'deflate-iaa' crypto compression
 26 algorithm::
 27 
 28   # echo deflate-iaa > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
 29 
 30 This will tell zswap to use the IAA 'fixed' compression mode for all
 31 compresses and decompresses.
 32 
 33 Currently, there is only one compression modes available, 'fixed'
 34 mode.
 35 
 36 The 'fixed' compression mode implements the compression scheme
 37 specified by RFC 1951 and is given the crypto algorithm name
 38 'deflate-iaa'.  (Because the IAA hardware has a 4k history-window
 39 limitation, only buffers <= 4k, or that have been compressed using a
 40 <= 4k history window, are technically compliant with the deflate spec,
 41 which allows for a window of up to 32k.  Because of this limitation,
 42 the IAA fixed mode deflate algorithm is given its own algorithm name
 43 rather than simply 'deflate').
 44 
 45 
 46 Config options and other setup
 47 ==============================
 48 
 49 The IAA crypto driver is available via menuconfig using the following
 50 path::
 51 
 52   Cryptographic API -> Hardware crypto devices -> Support for Intel(R) IAA Compression Accelerator
 53 
 54 In the configuration file the option called CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_IAA_CRYPTO.
 55 
 56 The IAA crypto driver also supports statistics, which are available
 57 via menuconfig using the following path::
 58 
 59   Cryptographic API -> Hardware crypto devices -> Support for Intel(R) IAA Compression -> Enable Intel(R) IAA Compression Accelerator Statistics
 60 
 61 In the configuration file the option called CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_IAA_CRYPTO_STATS.
 62 
 63 The following config options should also be enabled::
 64 
 65   CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP=y
 66   CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y
 67   CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM=y
 68   CONFIG_PCI_ATS=y
 69   CONFIG_PCI_PRI=y
 70   CONFIG_PCI_PASID=y
 71   CONFIG_INTEL_IDXD=m
 72   CONFIG_INTEL_IDXD_SVM=y
 73 
 74 IAA is one of the first Intel accelerator IPs that can work in
 75 conjunction with the Intel IOMMU.  There are multiple modes that exist
 76 for testing. Based on IOMMU configuration, there are 3 modes::
 77 
 78   - Scalable
 79   - Legacy
 80   - No IOMMU
 81 
 82 
 83 Scalable mode
 84 -------------
 85 
 86 Scalable mode supports Shared Virtual Memory (SVM or SVA). It is
 87 entered when using the kernel boot commandline::
 88 
 89   intel_iommu=on,sm_on
 90 
 91 with VT-d turned on in BIOS.
 92 
 93 With scalable mode, both shared and dedicated workqueues are available
 94 for use.
 95 
 96 For scalable mode, the following BIOS settings should be enabled::
 97 
 98   Socket Configuration > IIO Configuration > Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) > Intel VT for Directed I/O
 99 
100   Socket Configuration > IIO Configuration > PCIe ENQCMD > ENQCMDS
101 
102 
103 Legacy mode
104 -----------
105 
106 Legacy mode is entered when using the kernel boot commandline::
107 
108   intel_iommu=off
109 
110 or VT-d is not turned on in BIOS.
111 
112 If you have booted into Linux and not sure if VT-d is on, do a "dmesg
113 | grep -i dmar". If you don't see a number of DMAR devices enumerated,
114 most likely VT-d is not on.
115 
116 With legacy mode, only dedicated workqueues are available for use.
117 
118 
119 No IOMMU mode
120 -------------
121 
122 No IOMMU mode is entered when using the kernel boot commandline::
123 
124   iommu=off.
125 
126 With no IOMMU mode, only dedicated workqueues are available for use.
127 
128 
129 Usage
130 =====
131 
132 accel-config
133 ------------
134 
135 When loaded, the iaa_crypto driver automatically creates a default
136 configuration and enables it, and assigns default driver attributes.
137 If a different configuration or set of driver attributes is required,
138 the user must first disable the IAA devices and workqueues, reset the
139 configuration, and then re-register the deflate-iaa algorithm with the
140 crypto subsystem by removing and reinserting the iaa_crypto module.
141 
142 The :ref:`iaa_disable_script` in the 'Use Cases'
143 section below can be used to disable the default configuration.
144 
145 See :ref:`iaa_default_config` below for details of the default
146 configuration.
147 
148 More likely than not, however, and because of the complexity and
149 configurability of the accelerator devices, the user will want to
150 configure the device and manually enable the desired devices and
151 workqueues.
152 
153 The userspace tool to help doing that is called accel-config.  Using
154 accel-config to configure device or loading a previously saved config
155 is highly recommended.  The device can be controlled via sysfs
156 directly but comes with the warning that you should do this ONLY if
157 you know exactly what you are doing.  The following sections will not
158 cover the sysfs interface but assumes you will be using accel-config.
159 
160 The :ref:`iaa_sysfs_config` section in the appendix below can be
161 consulted for the sysfs interface details if interested.
162 
163 The accel-config tool along with instructions for building it can be
164 found here:
165 
166   https://github.com/intel/idxd-config/#readme
167 
168 Typical usage
169 -------------
170 
171 In order for the iaa_crypto module to actually do any
172 compression/decompression work on behalf of a facility, one or more
173 IAA workqueues need to be bound to the iaa_crypto driver.
174 
175 For instance, here's an example of configuring an IAA workqueue and
176 binding it to the iaa_crypto driver (note that device names are
177 specified as 'iax' rather than 'iaa' - this is because upstream still
178 has the old 'iax' device naming in place) ::
179 
180   # configure wq1.0
181 
182   accel-config config-wq --group-id=0 --mode=dedicated --type=kernel --priority=10 --name="iaa_crypto" --driver-name="crypto" iax1/wq1.0
183 
184   accel-config config-engine iax1/engine1.0 --group-id=0
185 
186   # enable IAA device iax1
187 
188   accel-config enable-device iax1
189 
190   # enable wq1.0 on IAX device iax1
191 
192   accel-config enable-wq iax1/wq1.0
193 
194 Whenever a new workqueue is bound to or unbound from the iaa_crypto
195 driver, the available workqueues are 'rebalanced' such that work
196 submitted from a particular CPU is given to the most appropriate
197 workqueue available.  Current best practice is to configure and bind
198 at least one workqueue for each IAA device, but as long as there is at
199 least one workqueue configured and bound to any IAA device in the
200 system, the iaa_crypto driver will work, albeit most likely not as
201 efficiently.
202 
203 The IAA crypto algorigthms is operational and compression and
204 decompression operations are fully enabled following the successful
205 binding of the first IAA workqueue to the iaa_crypto driver.
206 
207 Similarly, the IAA crypto algorithm is not operational and compression
208 and decompression operations are disabled following the unbinding of
209 the last IAA worqueue to the iaa_crypto driver.
210 
211 As a result, the IAA crypto algorithms and thus the IAA hardware are
212 only available when one or more workques are bound to the iaa_crypto
213 driver.
214 
215 When there are no IAA workqueues bound to the driver, the IAA crypto
216 algorithms can be unregistered by removing the module.
217 
218 
219 Driver attributes
220 -----------------
221 
222 There are a couple user-configurable driver attributes that can be
223 used to configure various modes of operation.  They're listed below,
224 along with their default values.  To set any of these attributes, echo
225 the appropriate values to the attribute file located under
226 /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/
227 
228 The attribute settings at the time the IAA algorithms are registered
229 are captured in each algorithm's crypto_ctx and used for all compresses
230 and decompresses when using that algorithm.
231 
232 The available attributes are:
233 
234   - verify_compress
235 
236     Toggle compression verification.  If set, each compress will be
237     internally decompressed and the contents verified, returning error
238     codes if unsuccessful.  This can be toggled with 0/1::
239 
240       echo 0 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/verify_compress
241 
242     The default setting is '1' - verify all compresses.
243 
244   - sync_mode
245 
246     Select mode to be used to wait for completion of each compresses
247     and decompress operation.
248 
249     The crypto async interface support implemented by iaa_crypto
250     provides an implementation that satisfies the interface but does
251     so in a synchronous manner - it fills and submits the IDXD
252     descriptor and then loops around waiting for it to complete before
253     returning.  This isn't a problem at the moment, since all existing
254     callers (e.g. zswap) wrap any asynchronous callees in a
255     synchronous wrapper anyway.
256 
257     The iaa_crypto driver does however provide true asynchronous
258     support for callers that can make use of it.  In this mode, it
259     fills and submits the IDXD descriptor, then returns immediately
260     with -EINPROGRESS.  The caller can then either poll for completion
261     itself, which requires specific code in the caller which currently
262     nothing in the upstream kernel implements, or go to sleep and wait
263     for an interrupt signaling completion.  This latter mode is
264     supported by current users in the kernel such as zswap via
265     synchronous wrappers.  Although it is supported this mode is
266     significantly slower than the synchronous mode that does the
267     polling in the iaa_crypto driver previously mentioned.
268 
269     This mode can be enabled by writing 'async_irq' to the sync_mode
270     iaa_crypto driver attribute::
271 
272       echo async_irq > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
273 
274     Async mode without interrupts (caller must poll) can be enabled by
275     writing 'async' to it::
276 
277       echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
278 
279     The mode that does the polling in the iaa_crypto driver can be
280     enabled by writing 'sync' to it::
281 
282       echo sync > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
283 
284     The default mode is 'sync'.
285 
286 .. _iaa_default_config:
287 
288 IAA Default Configuration
289 -------------------------
290 
291 When the iaa_crypto driver is loaded, each IAA device has a single
292 work queue configured for it, with the following attributes::
293 
294           mode              "dedicated"
295           threshold         0
296           size              Total WQ Size from WQCAP
297           priority          10
298           type              IDXD_WQT_KERNEL
299           group             0
300           name              "iaa_crypto"
301           driver_name       "crypto"
302 
303 The devices and workqueues are also enabled and therefore the driver
304 is ready to be used without any additional configuration.
305 
306 The default driver attributes in effect when the driver is loaded are::
307 
308           sync_mode         "sync"
309           verify_compress   1
310 
311 In order to change either the device/work queue or driver attributes,
312 the enabled devices and workqueues must first be disabled.  In order
313 to have the new configuration applied to the deflate-iaa crypto
314 algorithm, it needs to be re-registered by removing and reinserting
315 the iaa_crypto module.  The :ref:`iaa_disable_script` in the 'Use
316 Cases' section below can be used to disable the default configuration.
317 
318 Statistics
319 ==========
320 
321 If the optional debugfs statistics support is enabled, the IAA crypto
322 driver will generate statistics which can be accessed in debugfs at::
323 
324   # ls -al /sys/kernel/debug/iaa-crypto/
325   total 0
326   drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Mar  3 07:55 .
327   drwx------ 53 root root 0 Mar  3 07:55 ..

329   -rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Mar  3 07:55 stats_reset
330   -rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Mar  3 07:55 wq_stats
331 
332 The global_stats file shows a set of global statistics collected since
333 the driver has been loaded or reset::
334 
335   # cat global_stats
336   global stats:

344     total_completion_comp_buf_overflow_errors: 136
345 
346 The wq_stats file shows per-wq stats, a set for each iaa device and wq
347 in addition to some global stats::

420     ...
421 
422 
423 Use cases
424 =========
425 
426 Simple zswap test
427 -----------------
428 
429 For this example, the kernel should be configured according to the
430 dedicated mode options described above, and zswap should be enabled as
431 well::
432 
433   CONFIG_ZSWAP=y
434 
435 This is a simple test that uses iaa_compress as the compressor for a
436 swap (zswap) device.  It sets up the zswap device and then uses the
437 memory_memadvise program listed below to forcibly swap out and in a
438 specified number of pages, demonstrating both compress and decompress.
439 
440 The zswap test expects the work queues for each IAA device on the
441 system to be configured properly as a kernel workqueue with a
442 workqueue driver_name of "crypto".
443 
444 The first step is to make sure the iaa_crypto module is loaded::
445 
446   modprobe iaa_crypto
447 
448 If the IAA devices and workqueues haven't previously been disabled and
449 reconfigured, then the default configuration should be in place and no
450 further IAA configuration is necessary.  See :ref:`iaa_default_config`
451 below for details of the default configuration.
452 
453 If the default configuration is in place, you should see the iaa
454 devices and wq0s enabled::
455 
456   # cat /sys/bus/dsa/devices/iax1/state
457   enabled
458   # cat /sys/bus/dsa/devices/iax1/wq1.0/state
459   enabled
460 
461 To demonstrate that the following steps work as expected, these
462 commands can be used to enable debug output::
463 
464   # echo -n 'module iaa_crypto +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
465   # echo -n 'module idxd +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
466 
467 Use the following commands to enable zswap::
468 
469   # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
470   # echo 50 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
471   # echo deflate-iaa > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
472   # echo zsmalloc > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/zpool
473   # echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled

478 Now you can now run the zswap workload you want to measure. For
479 example, using the memory_memadvise code below, the following command
480 will swap in and out 100 pages::
481 
482   ./memory_madvise 100
483 
484   Allocating 100 pages to swap in/out
485   Swapping out 100 pages
486   Swapping in 100 pages
487   Swapped out and in 100 pages
488 
489 You should see something like the following in the dmesg output::
490 
491   [  404.202972] idxd 0000:e7:02.0: iaa_comp_acompress: dma_map_sg, src_addr 223925c000, nr_sgs 1, req->src 00000000ee7cb5e6, req->slen 4096, sg_dma_len(sg) 4096

495   ...
496 
497 Now that basic functionality has been demonstrated, the defaults can
498 be erased and replaced with a different configuration.  To do that,
499 first disable zswap::
500 
501   # echo lzo > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
502   # swapoff -a
503   # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/accept_threshold_percent
504   # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
505   # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
506   # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
507 
508 Then run the :ref:`iaa_disable_script` in the 'Use Cases' section
509 below to disable the default configuration.
510 
511 Finally turn swap back on::
512 
513   # swapon -a
514 
515 Following all that the IAA device(s) can now be re-configured and
516 enabled as desired for further testing.  Below is one example.
517 
518 The zswap test expects the work queues for each IAA device on the
519 system to be configured properly as a kernel workqueue with a
520 workqueue driver_name of "crypto".
521 
522 The below script automatically does that::

584 When the workqueues are bound to the iaa_crypto driver, you should
585 see something similar to the following in dmesg output if you've
586 enabled debug output (echo -n 'module iaa_crypto +p' >

607 
608 Once the workqueues and devices have been enabled, the IAA crypto
609 algorithms are enabled and available.  When the IAA crypto algorithms
610 have been successfully enabled, you should see the following dmesg
611 output::
612 
613   [   64.893759] iaa_crypto: iaa_crypto_enable: iaa_crypto now ENABLED
614 
615 Now run the following zswap-specific setup commands to have zswap use
616 the 'fixed' compression mode::
617 
618   echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
619   echo 50 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent

626   echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
627 
628 Finally, you can now run the zswap workload you want to measure. For
629 example, using the code below, the following command will swap in and
630 out 100 pages::
631 
632   ./memory_madvise 100

653 
654 In order to unregister the IAA crypto algorithms, and register new
655 ones using different parameters, any users of the current algorithm
656 should be stopped and the IAA workqueues and devices disabled.
657 
658 In the case of zswap, remove the IAA crypto algorithm as the
659 compressor and turn off swap (to remove all references to
660 iaa_crypto)::
661 
662   echo lzo > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
663   swapoff -a
664 
665   echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/accept_threshold_percent
666   echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
667   echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
668 
669 Once zswap is disabled and no longer using iaa_crypto, the IAA wqs and
670 devices can be disabled.

783 .. _iaa_sysfs_config:
784 
785 IAA sysfs config interface
786 --------------------------
787 
788 Below is a description of the IAA sysfs interface, which as mentioned
789 in the main document, should only be used if you know exactly what you
790 are doing.  Even then, there's no compelling reason to use it directly
791 since accel-config can do everything the sysfs interface can and in
792 fact accel-config is based on it under the covers.
793 
794 The 'IAA config path' is /sys/bus/dsa/devices and contains
795 subdirectories representing each IAA device, workqueue, engine, and
796 group.  Note that in the sysfs interface, the IAA devices are actually
797 named using iax e.g. iax1, iax3, etc. (Note that IAA devices are the
798 odd-numbered devices; the even-numbered devices are DSA devices and
799 can be ignored for IAA).
800 
801 The 'IAA device bind path' is /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/idxd/bind and is
802 the file that is written to enable an IAA device.
803 
804 The 'IAA workqueue bind path' is /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/bind and
805 is the file that is written to enable an IAA workqueue.
806 
807 Similarly /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/idxd/unbind and
808 /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/unbind are used to disable IAA devices and
809 workqueues.
810 
811 The basic sequence of commands needed to set up the IAA devices and
812 workqueues is:
813 
814 For each device::
815   1) Disable any workqueues enabled on the device.  For example to
816      disable workques 0 and 1 on IAA device 3::
817 
818        # echo wq3.0 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/unbind
819        # echo wq3.1 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/unbind
820 
821   2) Disable the device. For example to disable IAA device 3::
822 
823        # echo iax3 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/idxd/unbind
824 
825   3) configure the desired workqueues.  For example, to configure
826      workqueue 3 on IAA device 3::

836   4) Enable the device. For example to enable IAA device 3::
837 
838        # echo iax3 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/idxd/bind
839 
840   5) Enable the desired workqueues on the device.  For example to
841      enable workques 0 and 1 on IAA device 3::
842 
843        # echo wq3.0 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/bind
844        # echo wq3.1 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/bind
