103
104* The combinations marked as "Y" are supported on all QAT hardware versions.
105* The combinations marked as "2&3" are supported on GEN2/GEN3 QAT hardware only.
106
107
108Limitations
109~~~~~~~~~~~
110
111* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
112* SNOW 3G (UEA2), KASUMI (F8) and ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
113* SNOW 3G (UIA2) and ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
114* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
115* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
116* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long and must be passed to the device in a buffer rounded up to the nearest block-size multiple (x16) and padded with zeros.
117* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
118  queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
119  from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
120  in different threads.)
121* A GCM limitation exists, but only in the case where there are multiple
122  generations of QAT devices on a single platform.
123  To optimise performance, the GCM crypto session should be initialised for the
124  device generation to which the ops will be enqueued. Specifically if a GCM
125  session is initialised on a GEN2 device, but then attached to an op enqueued
126  to a GEN3 device, it will work but cannot take advantage of hardware
127  optimisations in the GEN3 device. And if a GCM session is initialised on a
128  GEN3 device, then attached to an op sent to a GEN1/GEN2 device, it will not be
129  enqueued to the device and will be marked as failed. The simplest way to
130  mitigate this is to use the bdf whitelist to avoid mixing devices of different
131  generations in the same process if planning to use for GCM.
132* The mixed algo feature on GEN2 is not supported by all kernel drivers. Check
133  the notes under the Available Kernel Drivers table below for specific details.
134* Out-of-place is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS security
135  protocol.
136* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_DES_DOCSISBPI`` is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC
137  DOCSIS security protocol.
138* Multi-segment buffers are not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS
139  security protocol.
140
141Extra notes on KASUMI F9
142~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
143
144When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
145constructed according to the
146`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
147(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
148FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
149bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
150the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
151message can be any length, specified in bits.
152
153Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
154length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
155of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
156Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
157must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
158
159Asymmetric Crypto Service on QAT
160--------------------------------
161
162The QAT asymmetric crypto PMD (hereafter referred to as `QAT ASYM [PMD]`) provides
163poll mode crypto driver support for the following hardware accelerator devices:
164
165* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC``
166* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
167* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
168* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology D15xx``
169* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C4xxx``
170
171The QAT ASYM PMD has support for:
172
173* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODEX``
174* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODINV``
175
176Limitations
177~~~~~~~~~~~
178
179* Big integers longer than 4096 bits are not supported.
180* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
181  queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
182  from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
183  in different threads.)
184* RSA-2560, RSA-3584 are not supported

188Building PMDs on QAT
189--------------------
190
191A QAT device can host multiple acceleration services:
192
193* symmetric cryptography
194* data compression
195* asymmetric cryptography
196
197These services are provided to DPDK applications via PMDs which register to
198implement the corresponding cryptodev and compressdev APIs. The PMDs use
199common QAT driver code which manages the QAT PCI device. They also depend on a
200QAT kernel driver being installed on the platform, see :ref:`qat_kernel` below.
201
202
203Configuring and Building the DPDK QAT PMDs
204~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
205
206
207Further information on configuring, building and installing DPDK is described
208:doc:`here <../linux_gsg/build_dpdk>`.
209
210
211Quick instructions for QAT cryptodev PMD are as follows:
212
213.. code-block:: console
214
215	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
216	make defconfig
217	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
218	or/and
219	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
220	make
221
222Quick instructions for QAT compressdev PMD are as follows:
223
224.. code-block:: console
225
226	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
227	make defconfig
228	make
229
230
231.. _building_qat_config:
232
233Build Configuration
234~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
235
236These are the build configuration options affecting QAT, and their default values:
237
238.. code-block:: console
239
240	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
241	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM=n
242	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM=n
243	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES=48
244	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE=65536
245
246CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT must be enabled for any QAT PMD to be built.
247
248Both QAT SYM PMD and QAT ASYM PMD have an external dependency on libcrypto, so are not
249built by default. CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM/ASYM should be enabled to build them.
250
251The QAT compressdev PMD has no external dependencies, so needs no configuration
252options and is built by default.
253
254The number of VFs per PF varies - see table below. If multiple QAT packages are
255installed on a platform then CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES should be
256adjusted to the number of VFs which the QAT common code will need to handle.
257
258.. Note::
259
260        There are separate config items (not QAT-specific) for max cryptodevs
261        CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS and max compressdevs CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESS_MAX_DEVS,
262        if necessary these should be adjusted to handle the total of QAT and other
263        devices which the process will use. In particular for crypto, where each
264        QAT VF may expose two crypto devices, sym and asym, it may happen that the
265        number of devices will be bigger than MAX_DEVS and the process will show an error
266        during PMD initialisation. To avoid this problem CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS may be
267        increased or -w, pci-whitelist domain:bus:devid:func option may be used.
268
269
270QAT compression PMD needs intermediate buffers to support Deflate compression
271with Dynamic Huffman encoding. CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE
272specifies the size of a single buffer, the PMD will allocate a multiple of these,
273plus some extra space for associated meta-data. For GEN2 devices, 20 buffers are
274allocated while for GEN1 devices, 12 buffers are allocated, plus 1472 bytes overhead.
275
276.. Note::
277
278	If the compressed output of a Deflate operation using Dynamic Huffman
279	Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
280	operation will be split into smaller operations and their results will
281	be merged afterwards.
282	This is not possible if any checksum calculation was requested - in such
283	case the code falls back to fixed compression.
284	To avoid this less performant case, applications should configure
285	the intermediate buffer size to be larger than the expected input data size
286	(compressed output size is usually unknown, so the only option is to make
287	larger than the input size).
288
289
290Running QAT PMD with minimum threshold for burst size
291~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
292
293If only a small number or packets can be enqueued. Each enqueue causes an expensive MMIO write.
294These MMIO write occurrences can be optimised by setting any of the following parameters:
295
296- qat_sym_enq_threshold
297- qat_asym_enq_threshold
298- qat_comp_enq_threshold
299
300When any of these parameters is set rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst function will
301return 0 (thereby avoiding an MMIO) if the device is congested and number of packets
302possible to enqueue is smaller.
303To use this feature the user must set the parameter on process start as a device additional parameter::
304
305  -w 03:01.1,qat_sym_enq_threshold=32,qat_comp_enq_threshold=16
306
307All parameters can be used with the same device regardless of order. Parameters are separated
308by comma. When the same parameter is used more than once first occurrence of the parameter
309is used.
310Maximum threshold that can be set is 32.
311
312
313Device and driver naming
314~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
315
316* The qat cryptodev symmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat".
317* The qat cryptodev asymmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat_asym".
318
319The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by either of these drivers.
320
321* Each qat sym crypto device has a unique name, in format
322  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
323* Each qat asym crypto device has a unique name, in format
324  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_asym".
325  This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
326
327.. Note::
328
329	The cryptodev driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
330
331	The qat crypto device name is in the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
332
333* The qat compressdev driver name is "compress_qat".
334  The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
335
336* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
337  <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
338  This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
339
340.. _qat_kernel:
341
342Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
343~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
344
345To use QAT an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
346devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMDs.
347
348Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
349relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
350DPDK applications.
351
352Each QuickAssist PF device exposes a number of VF devices. Each VF device can
353enable one symmetric cryptodev PMD and/or one asymmetric cryptodev PMD and/or
354one compressdev PMD.
355These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
356enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
357devices to applications.
358
359.. Note::
360
361   Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
362   the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
363   different acceleration services.
364
365   Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
366   cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.

422Installation using kernel.org driver
423~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
424
425The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
426use the corresponding values in the above table.
427
428In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
429
430* Disable VT-d or
431* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
432
433Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
434
435    lsmod | grep qa
436
437You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::

439    qat_c62x               5626  0
440    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
441
442Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
443
444First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
445your device, e.g.::
446
447    lspci -d:37c8
448
449You should see output similar to::
450
451    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
452    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
453    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
454
455Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
456
457     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
458     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
459     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
460
461Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
462list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
463
464To complete the installation follow the instructions in
465`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
466
467.. Note::
468
469   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
470   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
471   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
472
473   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
474   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
475
476   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
477
478      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
479      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
480
481   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
482
483      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
484      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
485
486
487.. Note::
488
489   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
490   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
491
492
493Installation using 01.org QAT driver
494~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
495
496Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
497<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
498Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
499
500The steps below assume you are:
501
502* Building on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
503* Using package ``qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz``.
504* On Fedora26 kernel ``4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64``.
505
506In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
507
508Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
509
510* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
511
512
513Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
514
515    mkdir /QAT
516    cd /QAT
517
518    # Copy the package to this location and unpack
519    tar zxof qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz
520
521    ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host
522    make install
523
524You can use ``cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0.
525You can use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm the presence of the 16 VF devices available per ``C62x`` PF.
526
527Confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0::
528
529    cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw
530
531
532Confirm the presence of 48 VF devices - 16 per PF::
533
534    lspci -d:37c9
535
536
537To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
538
539.. Note::
540
541   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
542   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
543

569
570.. Note::
571
572   If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following::
573
574      sudo yum install zlib-devel
575      sudo yum install openssl-devel
576      sudo yum install libudev-devel
577
578.. Note::
579
580   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
581
582      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
583      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
584      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
585
586
587Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
588~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
589
590Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
591
592For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
593^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
594
595The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
596VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
597
598    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
599        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
600            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
601            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
602        done; \
603    done
604
605For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
606^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
607
608The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
609``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
610adjust the unbind command below::
611
612    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
613        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
614            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
615            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
616
617            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
618            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
619
620            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
621            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
622        done; \
623    done
624
625For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or 200xx or D15xx device
626^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
627
628The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
629VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
630
631    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
632        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
633            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
634            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
635        done; \
636    done
637
638Bind to the DPDK uio driver
639^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
640
641Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
642to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
643e.g. for the C62x device::
644
645    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
646    modprobe uio
647    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
648    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
649    lspci -vvd:37c9
650
651
652Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
653``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
654
655    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
656    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
657

681    make -j
682    cd ./build/app
683    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
684    RTE>>compressdev_autotest
685
686
687Debugging
688~~~~~~~~~
689
690There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
691
692* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
693* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
694
695pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
696They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
697the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
698
699    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
700    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
701    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
702
703.. Note::
704
705    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
706    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
707    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
708    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
709    QAT trace would display in this case::
710
711	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
712
