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
138Extra notes on KASUMI F9
139~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
140
141When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
142constructed according to the
143`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
144(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
145FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
146bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
147the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
148message can be any length, specified in bits.
149
150Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
151length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
152of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
153Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
154must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
155
156Asymmetric Crypto Service on QAT
157--------------------------------
158
159The QAT asymmetric crypto PMD (hereafter referred to as `QAT ASYM [PMD]`) provides
160poll mode crypto driver support for the following hardware accelerator devices:
161
162* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC``
163* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
164* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
165* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology D15xx``
166* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C4xxx``
167
168The QAT ASYM PMD has support for:
169
170* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODEX``
171* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODINV``
172
173Limitations
174~~~~~~~~~~~
175
176* Big integers longer than 4096 bits are not supported.
177* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
178  queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
179  from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
180  in different threads.)
181* RSA-2560, RSA-3584 are not supported

185Building PMDs on QAT
186--------------------
187
188A QAT device can host multiple acceleration services:
189
190* symmetric cryptography
191* data compression
192* asymmetric cryptography
193
194These services are provided to DPDK applications via PMDs which register to
195implement the corresponding cryptodev and compressdev APIs. The PMDs use
196common QAT driver code which manages the QAT PCI device. They also depend on a
197QAT kernel driver being installed on the platform, see :ref:`qat_kernel` below.
198
199
200Configuring and Building the DPDK QAT PMDs
201~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
202
203
204Further information on configuring, building and installing DPDK is described
205:doc:`here <../linux_gsg/build_dpdk>`.
206
207
208Quick instructions for QAT cryptodev PMD are as follows:
209
210.. code-block:: console
211
212	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
213	make defconfig
214	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
215	or/and
216	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
217	make
218
219Quick instructions for QAT compressdev PMD are as follows:
220
221.. code-block:: console
222
223	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
224	make defconfig
225	make
226
227
228.. _building_qat_config:
229
230Build Configuration
231~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
232
233These are the build configuration options affecting QAT, and their default values:
234
235.. code-block:: console
236
237	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
238	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM=n
239	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM=n
240	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES=48
241	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE=65536
242
243CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT must be enabled for any QAT PMD to be built.
244
245Both QAT SYM PMD and QAT ASYM PMD have an external dependency on libcrypto, so are not
246built by default. CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM/ASYM should be enabled to build them.
247
248The QAT compressdev PMD has no external dependencies, so needs no configuration
249options and is built by default.
250
251The number of VFs per PF varies - see table below. If multiple QAT packages are
252installed on a platform then CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES should be
253adjusted to the number of VFs which the QAT common code will need to handle.
254
255.. Note::
256
257        There are separate config items (not QAT-specific) for max cryptodevs
258        CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS and max compressdevs CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESS_MAX_DEVS,
259        if necessary these should be adjusted to handle the total of QAT and other
260        devices which the process will use. In particular for crypto, where each
261        QAT VF may expose two crypto devices, sym and asym, it may happen that the
262        number of devices will be bigger than MAX_DEVS and the process will show an error
263        during PMD initialisation. To avoid this problem CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS may be
264        increased or -w, pci-whitelist domain:bus:devid:func option may be used.
265
266
267QAT compression PMD needs intermediate buffers to support Deflate compression
268with Dynamic Huffman encoding. CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE
269specifies the size of a single buffer, the PMD will allocate a multiple of these,
270plus some extra space for associated meta-data. For GEN2 devices, 20 buffers are
271allocated while for GEN1 devices, 12 buffers are allocated, plus 1472 bytes overhead.
272
273.. Note::
274
275	If the compressed output of a Deflate operation using Dynamic Huffman
276	Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
277	operation will be split into smaller operations and their results will
278	be merged afterwards.
279	This is not possible if any checksum calculation was requested - in such
280	case the code falls back to fixed compression.
281	To avoid this less performant case, applications should configure
282	the intermediate buffer size to be larger than the expected input data size
283	(compressed output size is usually unknown, so the only option is to make
284	larger than the input size).
285
286
287Running QAT PMD with minimum threshold for burst size
288~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
289
290If only a small number or packets can be enqueued. Each enqueue causes an expensive MMIO write.
291These MMIO write occurrences can be optimised by setting any of the following parameters:
292
293- qat_sym_enq_threshold
294- qat_asym_enq_threshold
295- qat_comp_enq_threshold
296
297When any of these parameters is set rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst function will
298return 0 (thereby avoiding an MMIO) if the device is congested and number of packets
299possible to enqueue is smaller.
300To use this feature the user must set the parameter on process start as a device additional parameter::
301
302  -w 03:01.1,qat_sym_enq_threshold=32,qat_comp_enq_threshold=16
303
304All parameters can be used with the same device regardless of order. Parameters are separated
305by comma. When the same parameter is used more than once first occurrence of the parameter
306is used.
307Maximum threshold that can be set is 32.
308
309
310Device and driver naming
311~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
312
313* The qat cryptodev symmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat".
314* The qat cryptodev asymmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat_asym".
315
316The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by either of these drivers.
317
318* Each qat sym crypto device has a unique name, in format
319  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
320* Each qat asym crypto device has a unique name, in format
321  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_asym".
322  This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
323
324.. Note::
325
326	The cryptodev driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
327
328	The qat crypto device name is in the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
329
330* The qat compressdev driver name is "compress_qat".
331  The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
332
333* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
334  <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
335  This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
336
337.. _qat_kernel:
338
339Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
340~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
341
342To use QAT an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
343devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMDs.
344
345Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
346relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
347DPDK applications.
348
349Each QuickAssist PF device exposes a number of VF devices. Each VF device can
350enable one symmetric cryptodev PMD and/or one asymmetric cryptodev PMD and/or
351one compressdev PMD.
352These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
353enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
354devices to applications.
355
356.. Note::
357
358   Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
359   the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
360   different acceleration services.
361
362   Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
363   cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.
364

406
407The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
408support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
409website. There are both linux in-tree and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
410devices. p = release pending.
411
412If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
413`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
414`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
415
416
417Installation using kernel.org driver
418~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
419
420The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
421use the corresponding values in the above table.
422
423In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
424
425* Disable VT-d or
426* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
427
428Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
429
430    lsmod | grep qa
431
432You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
433
434    qat_c62x               5626  0
435    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
436
437Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
438
439First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
440your device, e.g.::
441
442    lspci -d:37c8
443
444You should see output similar to::
445
446    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
447    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
448    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
449
450Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
451
452     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
453     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
454     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
455
456Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
457list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
458
459To complete the installation follow the instructions in
460`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
461
462.. Note::
463
464   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
465   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
466   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
467
468   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
469   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
470
471   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
472
473      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
474      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
475
476   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
477
478      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
479      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
480
481
482.. Note::
483
484   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
485   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.

488Installation using 01.org QAT driver
489~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
490
491Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
492<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
493Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
494
495The steps below assume you are:
496
497* Building on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
498* Using package ``qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz``.
499* On Fedora26 kernel ``4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64``.
500
501In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
502
503Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
504
505* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
506
507
508Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
509
510    mkdir /QAT
511    cd /QAT
512
513    # Copy the package to this location and unpack
514    tar zxof qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz
515
516    ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host
517    make install
518
519You 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.
520You can use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm the presence of the 16 VF devices available per ``C62x`` PF.
521
522Confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0::
523
524    cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw
525
526
527Confirm the presence of 48 VF devices - 16 per PF::
528
529    lspci -d:37c9
530
531
532To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
533
534.. Note::
535
536   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
537   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:

581
582Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
583~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
584
585Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
586
587For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
588^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
589
590The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
591VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
592
593    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
594        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
595            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
596            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
597        done; \
598    done
599
600For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
601^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
602
603The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
604``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
605adjust the unbind command below::
606
607    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
608        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
609            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
610            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
611
612            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
613            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
614
615            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
616            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
617        done; \
618    done
619
620For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or D15xx device
621^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
622
623The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
624VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
625
626    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
627        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
628            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
629            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
630        done; \
631    done
632
633Bind to the DPDK uio driver
634^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
635
636Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
637to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
638e.g. for the C62x device::
639
640    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
641    modprobe uio
642    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
643    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
644    lspci -vvd:37c9
645
646
647Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
648``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
649
650    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
651    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
652
653Testing
654~~~~~~~
655
656QAT SYM crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::
657
658    make defconfig
659    make -j
660    cd ./build/app
661    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
662    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_autotest
663
664QAT ASYM crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::
665
666    make defconfig
667    make -j
668    cd ./build/app
669    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
670    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_asym_autotest
671
672QAT compression PMD can be tested by running the test application::
673
674    make defconfig
675    sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESSDEV_TEST\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
676    make -j
677    cd ./build/app
678    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
679    RTE>>compressdev_autotest
680
681
682Debugging
683~~~~~~~~~
684
685There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
686
687* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
688* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
689
690pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
691They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
692the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
693
694    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
695    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
696    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
697
698.. Note::
699
700    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
701    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
702    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
703    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
704    QAT trace would display in this case::
705
706	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
707
