102
103* The combinations marked as "Y" are supported on all QAT hardware versions.
104* The combinations marked as "2&3" are supported on GEN2/GEN3 QAT hardware only.
105
106
107Limitations
108~~~~~~~~~~~
109
110* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
111* SNOW 3G (UEA2), KASUMI (F8) and ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
112* SNOW 3G (UIA2) and ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
113* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
114* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
115* 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.
116* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
117  queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
118  from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
119  in different threads.)
120* A GCM limitation exists, but only in the case where there are multiple
121  generations of QAT devices on a single platform.
122  To optimise performance, the GCM crypto session should be initialised for the
123  device generation to which the ops will be enqueued. Specifically if a GCM
124  session is initialised on a GEN2 device, but then attached to an op enqueued
125  to a GEN3 device, it will work but cannot take advantage of hardware
126  optimisations in the GEN3 device. And if a GCM session is initialised on a
127  GEN3 device, then attached to an op sent to a GEN1/GEN2 device, it will not be
128  enqueued to the device and will be marked as failed. The simplest way to
129  mitigate this is to use the bdf whitelist to avoid mixing devices of different
130  generations in the same process if planning to use for GCM.
131* The mixed algo feature on GEN2 is not supported by all kernel drivers. Check
132  the notes under the Available Kernel Drivers table below for specific details.
133* Out-of-place is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS security
134  protocol.
135* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_DES_DOCSISBPI`` is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC
136  DOCSIS security protocol.
137* Multi-segment buffers are not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS
138  security protocol.
139
140Extra notes on KASUMI F9
141~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
142
143When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
144constructed according to the
145`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
146(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
147FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
148bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
149the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
150message can be any length, specified in bits.
151
152Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
153length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
154of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
155Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
156must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
157
158Asymmetric Crypto Service on QAT
159--------------------------------
160
161The QAT asymmetric crypto PMD (hereafter referred to as `QAT ASYM [PMD]`) provides
162poll mode crypto driver support for the following hardware accelerator devices:
163
164* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC``
165* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
166* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
167* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology D15xx``
168* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C4xxx``
169
170The QAT ASYM PMD has support for:
171
172* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODEX``
173* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODINV``
174
175Limitations
176~~~~~~~~~~~
177
178* Big integers longer than 4096 bits are not supported.
179* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
180  queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
181  from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
182  in different threads.)
183* RSA-2560, RSA-3584 are not supported

187Building PMDs on QAT
188--------------------
189
190A QAT device can host multiple acceleration services:
191
192* symmetric cryptography
193* data compression
194* asymmetric cryptography
195
196These services are provided to DPDK applications via PMDs which register to
197implement the corresponding cryptodev and compressdev APIs. The PMDs use
198common QAT driver code which manages the QAT PCI device. They also depend on a
199QAT kernel driver being installed on the platform, see :ref:`qat_kernel` below.
200
201
202Configuring and Building the DPDK QAT PMDs
203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
204
205
206Further information on configuring, building and installing DPDK is described
207:doc:`here <../linux_gsg/build_dpdk>`.
208
209
210Quick instructions for QAT cryptodev PMD are as follows:
211
212.. code-block:: console
213
214	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
215	make defconfig
216	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
217	or/and
218	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
219	make
220
221Quick instructions for QAT compressdev PMD are as follows:
222
223.. code-block:: console
224
225	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
226	make defconfig
227	make
228
229
230.. _building_qat_config:
231
232Build Configuration
233~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
234
235These are the build configuration options affecting QAT, and their default values:
236
237.. code-block:: console
238
239	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
240	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM=n
241	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM=n
242	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES=48
243	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE=65536
244
245CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT must be enabled for any QAT PMD to be built.
246
247Both QAT SYM PMD and QAT ASYM PMD have an external dependency on libcrypto, so are not
248built by default. CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM/ASYM should be enabled to build them.
249
250The QAT compressdev PMD has no external dependencies, so needs no configuration
251options and is built by default.
252
253The number of VFs per PF varies - see table below. If multiple QAT packages are
254installed on a platform then CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES should be
255adjusted to the number of VFs which the QAT common code will need to handle.
256
257.. Note::
258
259        There are separate config items (not QAT-specific) for max cryptodevs
260        CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS and max compressdevs CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESS_MAX_DEVS,
261        if necessary these should be adjusted to handle the total of QAT and other
262        devices which the process will use. In particular for crypto, where each
263        QAT VF may expose two crypto devices, sym and asym, it may happen that the
264        number of devices will be bigger than MAX_DEVS and the process will show an error
265        during PMD initialisation. To avoid this problem CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS may be
266        increased or -w, pci-whitelist domain:bus:devid:func option may be used.
267
268
269QAT compression PMD needs intermediate buffers to support Deflate compression
270with Dynamic Huffman encoding. CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE
271specifies the size of a single buffer, the PMD will allocate a multiple of these,
272plus some extra space for associated meta-data. For GEN2 devices, 20 buffers are
273allocated while for GEN1 devices, 12 buffers are allocated, plus 1472 bytes overhead.
274
275.. Note::
276
277	If the compressed output of a Deflate operation using Dynamic Huffman
278	Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
279	operation will be split into smaller operations and their results will
280	be merged afterwards.
281	This is not possible if any checksum calculation was requested - in such
282	case the code falls back to fixed compression.
283	To avoid this less performant case, applications should configure
284	the intermediate buffer size to be larger than the expected input data size
285	(compressed output size is usually unknown, so the only option is to make
286	larger than the input size).
287
288
289Running QAT PMD with minimum threshold for burst size
290~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
291
292If only a small number or packets can be enqueued. Each enqueue causes an expensive MMIO write.
293These MMIO write occurrences can be optimised by setting any of the following parameters:
294
295- qat_sym_enq_threshold
296- qat_asym_enq_threshold
297- qat_comp_enq_threshold
298
299When any of these parameters is set rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst function will
300return 0 (thereby avoiding an MMIO) if the device is congested and number of packets
301possible to enqueue is smaller.
302To use this feature the user must set the parameter on process start as a device additional parameter::
303
304  -w 03:01.1,qat_sym_enq_threshold=32,qat_comp_enq_threshold=16
305
306All parameters can be used with the same device regardless of order. Parameters are separated
307by comma. When the same parameter is used more than once first occurrence of the parameter
308is used.
309Maximum threshold that can be set is 32.
310
311
312Device and driver naming
313~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
314
315* The qat cryptodev symmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat".
316* The qat cryptodev asymmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat_asym".
317
318The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by either of these drivers.
319
320* Each qat sym crypto device has a unique name, in format
321  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
322* Each qat asym crypto device has a unique name, in format
323  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_asym".
324  This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
325
326.. Note::
327
328	The cryptodev driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
329
330	The qat crypto device name is in the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
331
332* The qat compressdev driver name is "compress_qat".
333  The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
334
335* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
336  <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
337  This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
338
339.. _qat_kernel:
340
341Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
342~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
343
344To use QAT an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
345devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMDs.
346
347Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
348relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
349DPDK applications.
350
351Each QuickAssist PF device exposes a number of VF devices. Each VF device can
352enable one symmetric cryptodev PMD and/or one asymmetric cryptodev PMD and/or
353one compressdev PMD.
354These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
355enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
356devices to applications.
357
358.. Note::
359
360   Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
361   the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
362   different acceleration services.
363
364   Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
365   cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.
366

412devices. p = release pending.
413
414If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
415`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
416`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
417
418
419Installation using kernel.org driver
420~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
421
422The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
423use the corresponding values in the above table.
424
425In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
426
427* Disable VT-d or
428* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
429
430Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
431
432    lsmod | grep qa
433
434You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
435
436    qat_c62x               5626  0
437    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
438
439Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
440
441First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
442your device, e.g.::
443
444    lspci -d:37c8
445
446You should see output similar to::
447
448    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
449    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
450    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
451
452Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
453
454     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
455     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
456     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
457
458Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
459list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
460
461To complete the installation follow the instructions in
462`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
463
464.. Note::
465
466   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
467   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
468   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
469
470   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
471   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
472
473   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
474
475      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
476      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
477
478   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
479
480      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
481      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
482
483
484.. Note::
485
486   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
487   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
488
489
490Installation using 01.org QAT driver
491~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
492
493Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
494<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
495Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
496
497The steps below assume you are:
498
499* Building on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
500* Using package ``qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz``.
501* On Fedora26 kernel ``4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64``.
502
503In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
504
505Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
506
507* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
508
509
510Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
511
512    mkdir /QAT
513    cd /QAT
514
515    # Copy the package to this location and unpack
516    tar zxof qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz
517
518    ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host
519    make install
520
521You 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.
522You can use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm the presence of the 16 VF devices available per ``C62x`` PF.
523
524Confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0::
525
526    cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw
527
528
529Confirm the presence of 48 VF devices - 16 per PF::
530
531    lspci -d:37c9
532
533
534To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
535
536.. Note::
537
538   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
539   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:

567.. Note::
568
569   If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following::
570
571      sudo yum install zlib-devel
572      sudo yum install openssl-devel
573      sudo yum install libudev-devel
574
575.. Note::
576
577   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
578
579      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
580      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
581      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
582
583
584Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
585~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
586
587Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
588
589For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
590^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
591
592The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
593VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
594
595    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
596        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
597            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
598            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
599        done; \
600    done
601
602For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
603^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
604
605The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
606``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
607adjust the unbind command below::
608
609    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
610        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
611            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
612            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
613
614            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
615            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
616
617            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
618            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
619        done; \
620    done
621
622For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or D15xx device
623^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
624
625The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
626VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
627
628    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
629        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
630            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
631            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
632        done; \
633    done
634
635Bind to the DPDK uio driver
636^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
637
638Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
639to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
640e.g. for the C62x device::
641
642    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
643    modprobe uio
644    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
645    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
646    lspci -vvd:37c9
647
648
649Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
650``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
651
652    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
653    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
654
655Testing
656~~~~~~~
657
658QAT SYM crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::
659
660    make defconfig
661    make -j
662    cd ./build/app
663    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
664    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_autotest
665
666QAT ASYM crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::

669    make -j
670    cd ./build/app
671    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
672    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_asym_autotest
673
674QAT compression PMD can be tested by running the test application::

677    sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESSDEV_TEST\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
678    make -j
679    cd ./build/app
680    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
681    RTE>>compressdev_autotest
682
683
684Debugging
685~~~~~~~~~
686
687There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
688
689* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
690* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
691
692pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
693They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
694the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
695
696    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
697    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
698    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
699
700.. Note::
701
702    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
703    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
704    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
705    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
706    QAT trace would display in this case::
707
708	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
709
