It doesn't matter, the memory is still under the same PCI BDF and VFIO supports scenarios where devices in the same IOMMU group are not isolated from each other. This is why the granual of isolation is a PCI BDF - VFIO directly blocks kernel drivers from attaching to PCI BDFs that are not completely isolated from VFIO BDF. Bypassing this prevention and attaching a kernel driver directly to the same BDF being exposed to the guest breaks that isolation model. > So, I still don't understand what the security risk you are talking about is, > and what do you think the security design should look like? > Can you elaborate on it? Each security domain must have its own PCI BDF. The migration control registers must be on a different VF from the VF being plugged into a guest and the two VFs have to be in different IOMMU groups to ensure they are isolated from each other.

(It plays a role similar to netserver for netperf.) Few days ago I noticed that there is something wrong with error handling in case of failed connection but didn't get to fixing it yet. I'll try running some tests also on other architectures, including arm64 and s390x (to catch potential endinanity issues). Michal

Mean deviation is a symptom here. What worries me is that most results show the same value (corresponding to fully saturated line) with very little variation, in some iterations (1, 3 and 12 here) we can suddenly see much lower value (by ~2.5 GB/s, i.e. 20-25%). And as each iteration runs the connection for 30 seconds, it cannot be just some short glitch. I managed to get tcpdump captures yesterday but they are huge even with "-s 128" (client ~5.6 GB, server ~9.0 GB) so that working with them is rather slow so I did not find anything interesting yet. > I tried using netperf, which seems only show throughput of 9415.06 > (10^6bits/sec) using 10G netdev. which tool did you used to show the > above number? 9415.06 * 10^6 b/s is 1176.9 * 10^6 B/s so it's about the same as the numbers above (the good ones, that is). As this was part of a longer test trying different thread counts from 1 to 128, I was using another utility I started writing recently: https://github.com/mkubecek/nperf It is still raw and a lot of features are missing but it can be already used for multithreaded TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR tests. In particular, the output above was with nperf -H 172.17.1.1 -l 30 -i 20 --exact -t TCP_STREAM -M 1 The results are with 1 thread so that they should be also reproducible with netperf too. But it needs to be repeated enough times, when I wanted to get the packet captures, I did 40 iterations and only two of them showed lower result. Michal

[RFC PATCH v5 0/4] scheduler: expose the topology of clusters and add cluster scheduler
by Barry Song 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

ARM64 server chip Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data while each cluster has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each cluster will share some internal system bus. This means cache is much more affine inside one cluster than across clusters. +-----------------------------------+ +---------+ | +------+ +------+ +---------------------------+ | | | CPU0 | | cpu1 | | +-----------+ | | | +------+ +------+ | | | | | | +----+ L3 | | | | +------+ +------+ cluster | | tag | | | | | CPU2 | | CPU3 | | | | | | | +------+ +------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------------------------------+ | | +-----------------------------------+ | | | +------+ +------+ +--------------------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | +------+ +------+ | | | | | | | | L3 | | | | +------+ +------+ +----+ tag | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------+ +------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------------------------------+ | L3 | | data | +-----------------------------------+ | | | +------+ +------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------+ +------+ +----+ L3 | | | | | | tag | | | | +------+ +------+ | | | | | | | | | | ++ +-----------+ | | | +------+ +------+ |---------------------------+ | +-----------------------------------| | | +-----------------------------------| | | | +------+ +------+ +---------------------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | +------+ +------+ | | | | | | +----+ L3 | | | | +------+ +------+ | | tag | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------+ +------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------------------------------+ | | +-----------------------------------+ | | | +------+ +------+ +--------------------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | +------+ +------+ | | | | | There is a similar need for clustering in x86. Some x86 cores could share L2 caches that is similar to the cluster in Kupeng 920 (e.g. on Jacobsville there are 6 clusters of 4 Atom cores, each cluster sharing a separate L2, and 24 cores sharing L3). Having a sched_domain for clusters will bring two aspects of improvement: 1. spreading unrelated tasks among clusters, which decreases the contention of resources and improve the throughput. unrelated tasks might be put randomly without cluster sched_domain: +-------------------+ +-----------------+ | +----+ +----+ | | | | |task| |task| | | | | |1 | |2 | | | | | +----+ +----+ | | | | | | | | cluster1 | | cluster2 | +-------------------+ +-----------------+ but with cluster sched_domain, they are likely to spread due to LB: +-------------------+ +-----------------+ | +----+ | | +----+ | | |task| | | |task| | | |1 | | | |2 | | | +----+ | | +----+ | | | | | | cluster1 | | cluster2 | +-------------------+ +-----------------+ 2. gathering related tasks within a cluster, which improves the cache affinity of tasks talking with each other. Without cluster sched_domain, related tasks might be put randomly. In case task1-8 have relationship as below: Task1 wakes up task4 Task2 wakes up task5 Task3 wakes up task6 Task4 wakes up task7 With the tuning of select_idle_cpu() to scan local cluster first, those tasks might get a chance to be gathered like: +---------------------------+ +----------------------+ | +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ | | |task| |task | | | |task| |task | | | |1 | | 4 | | | |2 | |5 | | | +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ | | | | | | cluster1 | | cluster2 | | | | | | | | | | +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ | | |task | | task | | | |task | |task | | | |3 | | 6 | | | |4 | |8 | | | +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ | +---------------------------+ +----------------------+ Otherwise, the result might be: +---------------------------+ +----------------------+ | +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ | | |task| |task | | | |task| |task | | | |1 | | 2 | | | |5 | |6 | | | +----+ +-----+ | | +----+ +-----+ | | | | | | cluster1 | | cluster2 | | | | | | | | | | +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ | | |task | | task | | | |task | |task | | | |3 | | 4 | | | |7 | |8 | | | +-----+ +------+ | | +-----+ +------+ | +---------------------------+ +----------------------+ -v5: * split "add scheduler level for clusters" into two patches to evaluate the impact of spreading and gathering separately; * add a tracepoint of select_idle_cpu for debug purpose; add bcc script in commit log; * add cluster_id = -1 in reset_cpu_topology() * rebased to tip/sched/core -v4: * rebased to tip/sched/core with the latest unified code of select_idle_cpu * added Tim's patch for x86 Jacobsville * also added benchmark data of spreading unrelated tasks * avoided the iteration of sched_domain by moving to static_key(addressing Vincent's comment * used acpi_cpu_id for acpi_find_processor_node(addressing Masa's comment) Barry Song (2): scheduler: add scheduler level for clusters scheduler: scan idle cpu in cluster before scanning the whole llc Jonathan Cameron (1): topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die Tim Chen (1): scheduler: Add cluster scheduler level for x86 Documentation/admin-guide/cputopology.rst | 26 +++++++++++-- arch/arm64/Kconfig | 7 ++++ arch/arm64/kernel/topology.c | 2 + arch/x86/Kconfig | 8 ++++ arch/x86/include/asm/smp.h | 7 ++++ arch/x86/include/asm/topology.h | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cacheinfo.c | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c | 3 ++ arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++- drivers/acpi/pptt.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/base/arch_topology.c | 15 ++++++++ drivers/base/topology.c | 10 +++++ include/linux/acpi.h | 5 +++ include/linux/arch_topology.h | 5 +++ include/linux/sched/cluster.h | 19 ++++++++++ include/linux/sched/topology.h | 7 ++++ include/linux/topology.h | 13 +++++++ include/trace/events/sched.h | 22 +++++++++++ kernel/sched/core.c | 20 ++++++++++ kernel/sched/fair.c | 36 +++++++++++++++++- kernel/sched/sched.h | 1 + kernel/sched/topology.c | 5 +++ 22 files changed, 313 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/sched/cluster.h -- 1.8.3.1

From b32c0c00a187d4fe4c49d54d30650b0cacb2c351 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tian Tao <tiantao6(a)hisilicon.com> Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2021 14:36:11 +1200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] CPU, NUMA topology ABIs: clarify the overflow issue of sysfs pagebuf Both numa node and cpu use cpu bitmap like 3,ffffffff to expose hardware topology. When cpu number is large, the page buffer of sysfs will over- flow. This doesn't really happen nowadays as the maximum NR_CPUS is 8196 for X86_64 and 4096 for ARM64 since 8196 * 9 / 32 = 2305 which is still smaller than 4KB page size. So this BUILD_BUG_ON() is pretty much preventing future problems similar with Y2K. On the other hand, it should be more sensible to move the guard to common code which can protect both cpu and numa: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/die_cpus etc. /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap etc. Topology bitmaps shouldn't be larger than PAGE_SIZE as lstopo and numactl depend on them. But other ABIs exposing cpu lists are not really used by common applications, so this patch also marks those lists could be trimmed.
