84Installation
85------------
86
87To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The
88VF devices exposed by this driver will be used by QAT PMD.
89
90To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions mentioned in
91http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html
92
93Quick instructions as follows:
94
95.. code-block:: console
96
97	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
98	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
99	make
100
101If you are running on kernel 4.4 or greater, see instructions for
102`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. If you are on a kernel earlier
103than 4.4, see `Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
104
105For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x** and **Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx**
106device, kernel 4.5 or greater is needed.
107See instructions for `Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below.
108
109
110Installation using 01.org QAT driver
111------------------------------------
112
113NOTE: There is no driver available for **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x** and
114**Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx** devices on 01.org.
115
116Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
117<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_
118Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
119
120The steps below assume you are:
121
122* Building on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
123* Using package ``qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz``.
124* On Fedora21 kernel ``3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64``.
125
126In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
127
128Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
129
130* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
131
132* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
133
134Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
135
136    mkdir /QAT
137    cd /QAT
138    # copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
139    tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
140
141    export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
142    ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
143
144You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
145You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
146
147To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
148
149**Note**: If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
150
151.. code-block:: diff

168              }else {                                                      \
169                   *(num) = simple_strtoull((str), &(endPtr), (base));      \
170              }                                                            \
171        } while(0)
172   + #endif
173   #endif
174   #endif
175
176
177If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following:
178
179* ``sudo yum install zlib-devel``
180* ``sudo yum install openssl-devel``
181
182If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following:
183
184* ``sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r```
185* ``sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r```
186* ``sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r```
187
188
189Installation using kernel.org driver
190------------------------------------
191
192For **Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xxC**:
193
194Assuming you are running on at least a 4.4 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
195driver to start the QAT hardware.
196
197The steps below assume you are:
198
199* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
200* On a kernel at least version 4.4.
201
202In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
203a) disable VT-d or
204b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
205
206Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
207
208    lsmod | grep qat
209
210You should see the following output::
211
212    qat_dh895xcc            5626  0
213    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_dh895xcc
214
215Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
216
217First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the DH895xCC device::
218
219    lspci -d : 435
220
221You should see output similar to::
222
223    03:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Coleto Creek PCIe Endpoint
224
225Using the sysfs, enable the VFs::
226
227    echo 32 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/dh895xcc/0000\:03\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
228
229If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.4.
230
231To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm
232the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
233
234To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
235
236**Note**: If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like
237    ``Failed to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` this may be as a
238    result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
239
240Download firmware from the kernel firmware repo at:
241http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
242
243Copy qat binaries to /lib/firmware:
244*    ``cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware``
245*    ``cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware``
246
247cd to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules:
248*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko``
249*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko``
250
251**Note**:The following warning in /var/log/messages can be ignored:
252    ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``
253
254For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x**:
255Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
256driver to start the QAT hardware.
257
258The steps below assume you are:
259
260* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
261* On a kernel at least version 4.5.
262
263In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
264a) disable VT-d or
265b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
266
267Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
268
269    lsmod | grep qat
270
271You should see the following output::
272
273    qat_c62x               16384  0
274    intel_qat             122880  1 qat_c62x
275
276Next, you need to expose the VFs using the sysfs file system.
277
278First find the bdf of the C62x device::
279
280    lspci -d:37c8
281
282You should see output similar to::
283
284    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
285    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
286    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
287
288For each c62x device there are 3 PFs.
289Using the sysfs, for each PF, enable the 16 VFs::
290
291    echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000\:1a\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
292
293If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.5.
294
295To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm
296the bdf of the 48 VF devices are available per ``C62x`` device.
297
298To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
299
300For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx**:
301Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
302driver to start the QAT hardware.
303
304The steps below assume you are:
305
306* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``C3xxx`` device.
307* On a kernel at least version 4.5.
308
309In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
310a) disable VT-d or
311b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
312
313Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
314
315    lsmod | grep qat
316
317You should see the following output::
318
319    qat_c3xxx               16384  0
320    intel_qat             122880  1 qat_c3xxx
321
322Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
323
324First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the C3xxx device
325
326    lspci -d:19e2
327
328You should see output similar to::
329
330    01:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 19e2
331
332For c3xxx device there is 1 PFs.
333Using the sysfs, enable the 16 VFs::
334
335    echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c3xxx/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
336
337If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.5.
338
339To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:19e3`` to confirm
340the bdf of the 16 VF devices are available per ``C3xxx`` device.
341To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
342
343Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
344------------------------------------------------
345
346For **Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xcc** device:
347The unbind command below assumes ``bdfs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if yours are different adjust the unbind command below::
348
349   cd $RTE_SDK
350   modprobe uio
351   insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
352
353   for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
354       for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
355           echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
356           /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
357       done; \
358   done
359
360   echo "8086 0443" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
361
362You can use ``lspci -vvd:443`` to confirm that all devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver.
363
364For **Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x** device:
365The unbind command below assumes ``bdfs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``, ``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``,
366if yours are different adjust the unbind command below::
367
368   cd $RTE_SDK
369   modprobe uio
370   insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
371
372   for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
373       for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
374           echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
375           /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
376
377           echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
378           /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
379
380           echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
381           /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
382       done; \
383   done
384
385   echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
386
387You can use ``lspci -vvd:37c9`` to confirm that all devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver.
388
389For **Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx** device:
390The unbind command below assumes ``bdfs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``,
391if yours are different adjust the unbind command below::
392
393   cd $RTE_SDK
394   modprobe uio
395   insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
396
397   for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
398       for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
399           echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
400           /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
401
402       done; \
403   done
404
405   echo "8086 19e3" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
406
407You can use ``lspci -vvd:19e3`` to confirm that all devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver.
408
409
410The other way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the ``dpdk-devbind.py`` script:
411
412.. code-block:: console
413
414    cd $RTE_SDK
415    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
416
