[PATCH vhost v3 21/24] vdpa/mlx5: Pre-create hardware VQs at vdpa .dev_add time

From: Dragos Tatulea
Date: Mon Jul 08 2024 - 08:09:16 EST


Currently, hardware VQs are created right when the vdpa device gets into
DRIVER_OK state. That is easier because most of the VQ state is known by
then.

This patch switches to creating all VQs and their associated resources
at device creation time. The motivation is to reduce the vdpa device
live migration downtime by moving the expensive operation of creating
all the hardware VQs and their associated resources out of downtime on
the destination VM.

The VQs are now created in a blank state. The VQ configuration will
happen later, on DRIVER_OK. Then the configuration will be applied when
the VQs are moved to the Ready state.

When .set_vq_ready() is called on a VQ before DRIVER_OK, special care is
needed: now that the VQ is already created a resume_vq() will be
triggered too early when no mr has been configured yet. Skip calling
resume_vq() in this case, let it be handled during DRIVER_OK.

On a 64 CPU, 256 GB VM with 1 vDPA device of 16 VQps, the full VQ
resource creation + resume time was ~370ms. Now it's down to 60 ms
(only VQ config and resume). The measurements were done on a ConnectX6DX
based vDPA device.
