95Installation
96------------
97
98To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
99configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
100
101Quick instructions are as follows:
102
103.. code-block:: console
104
105	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
106	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
107	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
108	make
109
110To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
111devices exposed by this driver will be used by the QAT PMD. The devices and
112available kernel drivers and device ids are :

132
133The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
134support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
135website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
136devices. p = release pending.
137
138If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
139`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
140`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
141
142
143Installation using kernel.org driver
144------------------------------------
145
146The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
147use the corresponding values in the above table.
148
149In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
150
151* Disable VT-d or
152* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
153
154Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
155
156    lsmod | grep qa
157
158You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
159
160    qat_c62x               5626  0
161    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
162
163Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
164
165First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
166your device, e.g.::
167
168    lspci -d : 37c8
169
170You should see output similar to::
171
172    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
173    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
174    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
175
176Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
177
178     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
179     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
180     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
181
182Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
183list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
184
185To complete the installation follow the instructions in
186`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
187
188.. Note::
189
190   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
191   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
192   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
193
194   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
195   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
196
197   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
198
199      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
200      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
201
202   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
203
204      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
205      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
206
207
208.. Note::
209
210   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
211   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
212
213
214Installation using 01.org QAT driver
215------------------------------------
216
217Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
218<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
219Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
220
221The steps below assume you are:
222
223* Building on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
224* Using package ``qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz``.
225* On Fedora21 kernel ``3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64``.
226
227In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
228
229Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
230
231* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
232
233* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
234
235Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
236
237    mkdir /QAT
238    cd /QAT
239
240    # Copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
241    tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
242
243    export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
244    ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
245
246You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
247You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the  of the 32 VF devices available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
248
249To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
250
251.. Note::
252
253   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
254   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
255
256   .. code-block:: diff

280
281
282.. Note::
283
284   If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following::
285
286      sudo yum install zlib-devel
287      sudo yum install openssl-devel
288
289.. Note::
290
291   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
292
293      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
294      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
295      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
296
297
298Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
299------------------------------------------------
300
301Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
302
303For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
304~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
305
306The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
307VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
308
309    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
310        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
311            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
312            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
313        done; \
314    done
315
316For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
317~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
318
319The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
320``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
321adjust the unbind command below::
322
323    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
324        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
325            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
326            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
327
328            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
329            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
330
331            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
332            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
333        done; \
334    done
335
336For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or D15xx device
337~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
338
339The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
340VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
341
342    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
343        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
344            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
345            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
346        done; \
347    done
348
349Bind to the DPDK uio driver
350~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
351
352Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
353to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
354e.g. for the C62x device::
355
356    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
357    modprobe uio
358    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
359    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
360    lspci -vvd:37c9
361
362
363Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
364``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
365
366    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
367    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
368
