Does BlobFS Asynchronous API support multi thread writing?
by chen.zhenghua＠zte.com.cn
Hi everyone,
I simply tested the BlobFS Asynchronous API by using SPDK events framework to execute multi tasks, each task writes one file.
But it doesn't work, the spdk_file_write_async() reported an error when resizing the file size.
The call stack looks like this:
spdk_file_write_async() -> __readwrite() -> spdk_file_truncate_async() -> spdk_blob_resize()
The resize operation must be done in the metadata thread which invoked the spdk_fs_load(), so only the task dispatched to the metadata CPU core works.
That's to say only one thread can be used to write files. It's hard to use, and performance issues may arise.
Does anyone knows further more about this?
thanks very much

Best practices on driver binding for SPDK in production environments
by Lance Hartmann ORACLE
This email to the SPDK list is a follow-on to a brief discussion held during a recent SPDK community meeting (Tue Jun 26 UTC 15:00).
Lifted and edited from the Trello agenda item (https://trello.com/c/U291IBYx/91-best-practices-on-driver-binding-for-spd... <https://trello.com/c/U291IBYx/91-best-practices-on-driver-binding-for-spd...>):
During development many (most?) people rely on the run of SPDK's scripts/setup.sh to perform a number of initializations, among them the unbinding of the Linux kernel nvme driver from NVMe controllers targeted for use by the SPDK and then binding them to either uio_pci_generic or vfio-pci. This script is applicable for development environments, but not targeted for use in productions systems employing the SPDK.
I'd like to confer with my fellow SPDK community members on ideas, suggestions and best practices for handling this driver unbinding/binding. I wrote some udev rules along with updates to some other Linux system conf files for automatically loading either the uio_pci_generic or vfio-pci modules. I also had to update my initramfs so that when the system comes all the way up, the desired NVMe controllers are already bound to the needed driver for SPDK operation. And, as a bonus, it should "just work" when a hotplug occurs as well. However, there may be additional considerations I might have overlooked on which I'd appreciate input. Further, there's the matter of how and whether to semi-automate this configuration via some kind of script and how that might vary according to Linux distro to say nothing of the determination of employing uio_pci_generic vs vfio-pci.
And, now some details:
1. I performed this on an Oracle Linux (OL) distro. I’m currently unaware how and what configuration files might be different depending on the distro. Oracle Linux is RedHat-compatible, so I’m confident my implementation should run similarly on RedHat-based systems, but I’ve yet to delve into other distro’s like Debian, SuSE, etc.
2. In preparation to writing my own udev rules, I unbound a specific NVMe controller from the Linux nvme driver by hand. Then, in another window I launched: "udevadm monitor -k -p” so that I could observe the usual udev events when a NVMe controller is bound to the nvme driver. On my system, I observed four (4) udev kernel events (abbreviated/edited output to avoid this become excessively long):
(Event 1)
KERNEL[382128.187273] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:30:00.0/nvme/nvme0 (nvme)
ACTION=add
DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0
…
SUBSYSTEM=nvme
(Event 2)
KERNEL[382128.244658] bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:30:00.0 (pci)
ACTION=bind
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:30:00.0
DRIVER=nvme
…
SUBSYSTEM=pci
(Event 3)
KERNEL[382130.697832] add /devices/virtual/bdi/259:0 (bdi)
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/bdi/259:0
...
SUBSYSTEM=bdi
(Event 4)
KERNEL[382130.698192] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:30:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1 (block)
ACTION=add
DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:30:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1
DEVTYPE=disk
...
SUBSYSTEM=block
3. My udev rule triggers on (Event 2) above: the bind action. Upon this action, my udev rule appends operations to the special udev RUN variable such that udev will essentially mirror that which is done in the SPDK’s scripts/setup.sh for unbinding from the nvme driver and binding to, in my case, the vfio-pci driver.
4. With my new udev rules in place, I was successful getting specific NVMe controllers (based on bus-device-function) to unbind from the Linux nvme driver and bind to vfio-pci. However, I made a couple of observations in the kernel log (dmesg). In particular, I was drawn to the following for an NVMe controller at BDF: 0000:40:00.0 for which I had a udev rule to unbind from nvme and bind to vfio-pci:
[ 35.534279] nvme nvme1: pci function 0000:40:00.0
[ 37.964945] nvme nvme1: failed to mark controller live
[ 37.964947] nvme nvme1: Removing after probe failure status: 0
One theory I have for the above is that my udev RUN rule was invoked while the nvme driver’s probe() was still running on this controller, and perhaps the unbind request came in before the probe() completed hence this “name1: failed to mark controller live”. This has left lingering in my mind that maybe instead of triggering on (Event 2) when the bind occurs, that perhaps I should instead try to derive a trigger on the “last" udev event, an “add”, where the NVMe namespace’s are instantiated. Of course, I’d need to know ahead of time just how many namespaces exist on that controller if I were to do that so I’d trigger on the last one. I’m wondering if that may help to avoid what looks like a complaint during the middle of probe() of that particular controller. Then, again, maybe I can just safely ignore that and not worry about it at all? Thoughts?
I discovered another issue during this experimentation that is somewhat tangential to this task, but I’ll write a separate email on that topic.
thanks for any feedback,

Topic from last week's community meeting
by Luse, Paul E
Hi Shuhei,
I was out of town last week and missed the meeting but saw on Trello you had the topic below:
"a few idea: log structured data store , data store with compression, and metadata replication of Blobstore"
Which I'd be pretty interested in working on with you or at least hearing more about it. When you get a chance, no hurry, can you please expand a little on how the conversation went and what you're looking at specifically?
Thanks!

Add py-spdk client for SPDK
by We We
Hi, all
I have submitted the py-spdk code on https://review.gerrithub.io/#/c/379741/, please take some time to visit it, I will be very grateful to you.
The py-spdk is client which can help the upper-level app to communicate with the SPDK-based app (such as: nvmf_tgt, vhost, iscsi_tgt, etc.). Should I submit it into the other repo I rebuild rather than SPDK repo? Because I think it is a relatively independent kit upon the SPDK.
If you have some thoughts about the py-spdk, please share with me.
Regards,
Helloway

Re: [SPDK] anyone ran the SPDK ( app/iscsi_tgt/iscsi_tgt ) with VPP?
by Isaac Otsiabah
Hi Tomasz, I got the SPDK patch. My network topology is simple but making the network ip address accessible to the iscsi_tgt application and to vpp is not working. From my understanding, vpp is started first on the target host and then iscsi_tgt application is started after the network setup is done (please, correct me if this is not the case).

I set up the vpp environment variables through sysctl command.
I unbind the kernel driver and loaded the DPDK uio_pci_generic driver for the first 10GB NIC (device address= 0000:82:00.0).
That worked so I started the vpp application and from the startup output, the NIC is in used by vpp

Then from vppctl command prompt, I set up ip address for the 10G interface and up it. From vpp, I can ping the initiator machine and vice versa as shown below.

ip link set dev vpp1host up

>From the target host,I still cannot ping the initiator (192.168.2.10), it does not go through the vpp interface so my vpp interface connection is not correct.
Please, how does one create the vpp host interface and connect it, so that host applications (ie. iscsi_tgt) can communicate in the 192.168.2 subnet? In STEP2, should I use a different subnet like 192.168.3.X and turn on IP forwarding add a route to the routing table?

Hello Isaac,
Are you using following patch ? (I suggest cherry picking it)
https://review.gerrithub.io/#/c/389566/
SPDK iSCSI target can be started without specific interface to bind on, by not specifying any target nodes or portal groups. They can be added later via RPC http://www.spdk.io/doc/iscsi.html#iscsi_rpc.
Please see https://github.com/spdk/spdk/blob/master/test/iscsi_tgt/lvol/iscsi.conf for example of minimal iSCSI config.
Suggested flow of starting up applications is:
1. Unbind interfaces from kernel
2. Start VPP and configure the interface via vppctl
3. Start SPDK
4. Configure the iSCSI target via RPC, at this time it should be possible to use the interface configured in VPP
Please note, there is some leeway here. The only requirement is having VPP app started before SPDK app.
Interfaces in VPP can be created (like tap or veth) and configured at runtime, and are available for use in SPDK as well.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: anyone ran the SPDK ( app/iscsi_tgt/iscsi_tgt ) with VPP?
Hi Tomaz, Daniel and Jim, i am trying to test VPP so build the VPP on a Centos 7.4 (x86_64), build the SPDK and tried to run the ./app/iscsi_tgt/iscsi_tgt application.
For VPP, first, I unbind the nick from the kernel as and start VPP application.
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -u 0000:07:00.0
vpp unix {cli-listen /run/vpp/cli.sock}
Unbinding the nic takes down the interface, however, the ./app/iscsi_tgt/iscsi_tgt -m 0x101 application needs an interface to bind to during startup so it fails to start. The information at:
"Running SPDK with VPP
VPP application has to be started before SPDK iSCSI target, in order to enable usage of network interfaces. After SPDK iSCSI target initialization finishes, interfaces configured within VPP will be available to be configured as portal addresses. Please refer to Configuring iSCSI Target via RPC method<http://www.spdk.io/doc/iscsi.html#iscsi_rpc>."
is not clear because the instructions at the "Configuring iSCSI Traget via RPC method" suggest the iscsi_tgt server is running for one to be able to execute the RPC commands but, how do I get the iscsi_tgt server running without an interface to bind on during its initialization?
Please, can anyone of you help to explain how to run the SPDK iscsi_tgt application with VPP (for instance, what should change in iscsi.conf?) after unbinding the nic, how do I get the iscsi_tgt server to start without an interface to bind to, what address should be assigned to the Portal in iscsi.conf.. etc)?
I would appreciate if anyone would help. Thank you.

Can I disable hugepages if I have vfio and IOMMU enabled?
by Itai Fiat Gecht
Hello,
I'm new to SPDK. I have a question about the following manual page:
http://www.spdk.io/doc/memory.html
The page says that:
"SPDK relies on DPDK to allocate pinned memory. On Linux, DPDK does this by
allocating hugepages (by default, 2MiB). The Linux kernel treats hugepages
differently than regular 4KiB pages. Specifically, the operating system will
never change their physical location. This is not by intent, and so things
could change in future versions, but it is true today and has been for a number
of years (see the later section on the IOMMU for a future-proof solution)."
The page then explains about IOMMU, and concludes with saying:
"This is a future-proof, hardware-accelerated solution for performing DMA
operations into and out of a user space process and forms the long-term
foundation for SPDK and DPDK's memory management strategy. We highly recommend
that applications are deployed using vfio and the IOMMU enabled, which is fully
supported today."
Does this mean that if vfio and IOMMU are enabled I can disable hugepages?

Is it possible to run other SPDK programs and NVMe-oF program on the same node?
by Yue Zhu
Hi all,
I wonder if there is anyway that allows a regular SPDK program (e.g., perf)
and NVMe-oF function properly on the same node.
I have tested running NVMe-oF and perf on the same node, and got some
observations.
The error message I got for running perf and NVMe-oF on the same node
(configuration file attached after error info):

I also tried to remove the [NVMe] section in the configuration to let perf
only detect local SSD (it works), but the perf still cannot detect remote
SSD if NVMe-oFs are running on the local and remote nodes.
I did a quick debugging. It appears that nvme_ctrlr_identify() in
nvme_ctrlr_start() cannot initialize ctrlr->cdata.nn to 1. So the program
fails to create active_ns_list. I wonder if this can be solved in any ways.
Error info:

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Building spdk on CentOS6
by Shahar Salzman
Hi,
Finally got to looking at support of spdk build on CentOS6, things look good, except for one issue.
spdk is latest 18.01.x version, dpdk is 16.07 (+3 dpdk patches to allow compilation) and some minor patches (mainly some memory configuration stuff), kernel is a patched 4.9.6.
build succeeded except for the usage of the dpdk function pci_vfio_is_enabled.
I had to apply the patch bellow, removing the usage of this function and then compilation completed without any issues.
It seems that I am missing some sort of dpdk configuration as I see that the function is built, but not packaged into the generated archive.
I went back to square one and ran the instructions in http://www.spdk.io/doc/getting_started.html, but I see no mention of dpdk there. Actually the ./configure requires it.
My next step is to use a more recent dpdk, but shouldn't this work with my version? Am I missing some dpdk configuration?
BTW, as we are not using vhost, on our 17.07 version we simply use CONFIG_VHOST=n in order to skip this, but I would be happier if we used a better solution.

P.S. Here is the patch to remove use of this function:
