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 VT-d is disabled.
203
204Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
205
206    lsmod | grep qat
207
208You should see the following output::
209
210    qat_dh895xcc            5626  0
211    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_dh895xcc
212
213Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
214
215First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the DH895xCC device::
216
217    lspci -d : 435
218
219You should see output similar to::
220
221    03:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Coleto Creek PCIe Endpoint
222
223Using the sysfs, enable the VFs::
224
225    echo 32 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/dh895xcc/0000\:03\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
226
227If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.4.
228
229To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm
230the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
231
232To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
233
234**Note**: If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like
235    ``Failed to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` this may be as a
236    result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
237
238Download firmware from the kernel firmware repo at:
239http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
240
241Copy qat binaries to /lib/firmware:
242*    ``cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware``
243*    ``cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware``
244
245cd to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules:
246*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko``
247*    ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko``
248
249**Note**:The following warning in /var/log/messages can be ignored:
250    ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``
251
252For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x**:
253Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
254driver to start the QAT hardware.
255
256The steps below assume you are:
257
258* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
259* On a kernel at least version 4.5.
260
261In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
262
263Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
264
265    lsmod | grep qat
266
267You should see the following output::
268
269    qat_c62x               16384  0
270    intel_qat             122880  1 qat_c62x
271
272Next, you need to expose the VFs using the sysfs file system.
273
274First find the bdf of the C62x device::
275
276    lspci -d:37c8
277
278You should see output similar to::
279
280    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
281    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
282    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
283
284For each c62x device there are 3 PFs.
285Using the sysfs, for each PF, enable the 16 VFs::
286
287    echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000\:1a\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
288
289If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.5.
290
291To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm
292the bdf of the 48 VF devices are available per ``C62x`` device.
293
294To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
295
296For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx**:
297Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
298driver to start the QAT hardware.
299
300The steps below assume you are:
301
302* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``C3xxx`` device.
303* On a kernel at least version 4.5.
304
305In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
306
307Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
308
309    lsmod | grep qat
310
311You should see the following output::
312
313    qat_c3xxx               16384  0
314    intel_qat             122880  1 qat_c3xxx
315
316Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
317
318First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the C3xxx device
319
320    lspci -d:19e2
321
322You should see output similar to::
323
324    01:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 19e2
325
326For c3xxx device there is 1 PFs.
327Using the sysfs, enable the 16 VFs::
328
329    echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c3xxx/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
330
331If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.5.
332
333To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:19e3`` to confirm
334the bdf of the 16 VF devices are available per ``C3xxx`` device.
335To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
336
337Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
338------------------------------------------------
339
340For **Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xcc** device:
341The unbind command below assumes ``bdfs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if yours are different adjust the unbind command below::
