eal: add channel for multi-process communication Previouly, there are three channels for multi-process (i.e., primary/secondary) communication. 1. Config-file based channel, in which, the primary process writes info into a pre-defined config file, and the secondary process reads the info out. 2. vfio submodule has its own channel based on unix socket for the secondary process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process. 3. pdump submodule also has its own channel based on unix socket for packet dump. It'd be good to have a generic communication channel for multi-process communication to accommodate the requirements including: a. Secondary wants to send info to primary, for example, secondary would like to send request (about some specific vdev to primary). b. Sending info at any time, instead of just initialization time. c. Share FDs with the other side, for vdev like vhost, related FDs (memory region, kick) should be shared. d. A send message request needs the other side to response immediately. This patch proposes to create a communication channel, based on datagram unix socket, for above requirements. Each process will block on a unix socket waiting for messages from the peers. Three new APIs are added: 1. rte_eal_mp_action_register() is used to register an action, indexed by a string, when a component at receiver side would like to response the messages from the peer processe. 2. rte_eal_mp_action_unregister() is used to unregister the action if the calling component does not want to response the messages. 3. rte_eal_mp_sendmsg() is used to send a message, and returns immediately. If there are n secondary processes, the primary process will send n messages.

eal: add synchronous multi-process communication We need the synchronous way for multi-process communication, i.e., blockingly waiting for reply message when we send a request to the peer process. We add two APIs rte_eal_mp_request() and rte_eal_mp_reply() for such use case. By invoking rte_eal_mp_request(), a request message is sent out, and then it waits there for a reply message. The caller can specify the timeout. And the response messages will be collected and returned so that the caller can decide how to translate them. The API rte_eal_mp_reply() is always called by an mp action handler. Here we add another parameter for rte_eal_mp_t so that the action handler knows which peer address to reply. sender-process receiver-process ---------------------- ---------------- thread-n |_rte_eal_mp_request() ----------> mp-thread |_timedwait() |_process_msg() |_action() |_rte_eal_mp_reply() mp_thread <---------------------| |_process_msg() |_signal(send_thread) thread-m <----------| |_collect-reply * A secondary process is only allowed to talk to the primary process. * If there are multiple secondary processes for the primary process, it will send request to peer1, collect response from peer1; then send request to peer2, collect response from peer2, and so on. * When thread-n is sending request, thread-m of that process can send request at the same time. * For pair <action_name, peer>, we guarantee that only one such request is on the fly.

eal: add channel for multi-process communication Previouly, there are three channels for multi-process (i.e., primary/secondary) communication. 1. Config-file based channel, in which, the primary process writes info into a pre-defined config file, and the secondary process reads the info out. 2. vfio submodule has its own channel based on unix socket for the secondary process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process. 3. pdump submodule also has its own channel based on unix socket for packet dump. It'd be good to have a generic communication channel for multi-process communication to accommodate the requirements including: a.

eal: add synchronous multi-process communication We need the synchronous way for multi-process communication, i.e., blockingly waiting for reply message when we send a request to the peer process. We add two APIs rte_eal_mp_request() and rte_eal_mp_reply() for such use case. By invoking rte_eal_mp_request(), a request message is sent out, and then it waits there for a reply message. The caller can specify the timeout. And the response messages will be collected and returned so that the caller can decide how to translate them. The API rte_eal_mp_reply() is always called by an mp action handler. Here we add another parameter for rte_eal_mp_t so that the action handler knows which peer address to reply. sender-process receiver-process ---------------------- ---------------- thread-n |_rte_eal_mp_request() ----------> mp-thread |_timedwait() |_process_msg() |_action() |_rte_eal_mp_reply() mp_thread <---------------------| |_process_msg() |_signal(send_thread) thread-m <----------| |_collect-reply * A secondary process is only allowed to talk to the primary process. * If there are multiple secondary processes for the primary process, it will send request to peer1, collect response from peer1; then send request to peer2, collect response from peer2, and so on. * When thread-n is sending request, thread-m of that process can send request at the same time. * For pair <action_name, peer>, we guarantee that only one such request is on the fly.

eal: add channel for multi-process communication Previouly, there are three channels for multi-process (i.e., primary/secondary) communication. 1. Config-file based channel, in which, the primary process writes info into a pre-defined config file, and the secondary process reads the info out. 2. vfio submodule has its own channel based on unix socket for the secondary process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process. 3. pdump submodule also has its own channel based on unix socket for packet dump. It'd be good to have a generic communication channel for multi-process communication to accommodate the requirements including: a. Secondary wants to send info to primary, for example, secondary would like to send request (about some specific vdev to primary). b. Sending info at any time, instead of just initialization time. c. Share FDs with the other side, for vdev like vhost, related FDs (memory region, kick) should be shared. d. A send message request needs the other side to response immediately. This patch proposes to create a communication channel, based on datagram unix socket, for above requirements. Each process will block on a unix socket waiting for messages from the peers. Three new APIs are added: 1. rte_eal_mp_action_register() is used to register an action, indexed by a string, when a component at receiver side would like to response the messages from the peer processe. 2. rte_eal_mp_action_unregister() is used to unregister the action if the calling component does not want to response the messages. 3. rte_eal_mp_sendmsg() is used to send a message, and returns immediately. If there are n secondary processes, the primary process will send n messages.

eal: add channel for multi-process communication Previouly, there are three channels for multi-process (i.e., primary/secondary) communication. 1. Config-file based channel, in which, the primary process writes info into a pre-defined config file, and the secondary process reads the info out. 2. vfio submodule has its own channel based on unix socket for the secondary process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process. 3. pdump submodule also has its own channel based on unix socket for packet dump. It'd be good to have a generic communication channel for multi-process communication to accommodate the requirements including: a. Secondary wants to send info to primary, for example, secondary would like to send request (about some specific vdev to primary). b. Sending info at any time, instead of just initialization time. c. Share FDs with the other side, for vdev like vhost, related FDs (memory region, kick) should be shared. d. A send message request needs the other side to response immediately. This patch proposes to create a communication channel, based on datagram unix socket, for above requirements. Each process will block on a unix socket waiting for messages from the peers. Three new APIs are added: 1. rte_eal_mp_action_register() is used to register an action, indexed by a string, when a component at receiver side would like to response the messages from the peer processe. 2. rte_eal_mp_action_unregister() is used to unregister the action if the calling component does not want to response the messages. 3. rte_eal_mp_sendmsg() is used to send a message, and returns immediately. If there are n secondary processes, the primary process will send n messages.

eal: add synchronous multi-process communication We need the synchronous way for multi-process communication, i.e., blockingly waiting for reply message when we send a request to the peer process. We add two APIs rte_eal_mp_request() and rte_eal_mp_reply() for such use case. By invoking rte_eal_mp_request(), a request message is sent out, and then it waits there for a reply message. The caller can specify the timeout. And the response messages will be collected and returned so that the caller can decide how to translate them. The API rte_eal_mp_reply() is always called by an mp action handler. Here we add another parameter for rte_eal_mp_t so that the action handler knows which peer address to reply. sender-process receiver-process ---------------------- ---------------- thread-n |_rte_eal_mp_request() ----------> mp-thread |_timedwait() |_process_msg() |_action() |_rte_eal_mp_reply() mp_thread <---------------------| |_process_msg() |_signal(send_thread) thread-m <----------| |_collect-reply * A secondary process is only allowed to talk to the primary process. * If there are multiple secondary processes for the primary process, it will send request to peer1, collect response from peer1; then send request to peer2, collect response from peer2, and so on. * When thread-n is sending request, thread-m of that process can send request at the same time. * For pair <action_name, peer>, we guarantee that only one such request is on the fly.

eal: add channel for multi-process communication Previouly, there are three channels for multi-process (i.e., primary/secondary) communication. 1. Config-file based channel, in which, the primary process writes info into a pre-defined config file, and the secondary process reads the info out. 2. vfio submodule has its own channel based on unix socket for the secondary process to get container fd and group fd from the primary process. 3. pdump submodule also has its own channel based on unix socket for packet dump. It'd be good to have a generic communication channel for multi-process communication to accommodate the requirements including: a. Secondary wants to send info to primary, for example, secondary would like to send request (about some specific vdev to primary). b. Sending info at any time, instead of just initialization time. c. Share FDs with the other side, for vdev like vhost, related FDs (memory region, kick) should be shared. d. A send message request needs the other side to response immediately. This patch proposes to create a communication channel, based on datagram unix socket, for above requirements. Each process will block on a unix socket waiting for messages from the peers. Three new APIs are added: 1. rte_eal_mp_action_register() is used to register an action, indexed by a string, when a component at receiver side would like to response the messages from the peer processe. 2. rte_eal_mp_action_unregister() is used to unregister the action if the calling component does not want to response the messages. 3. rte_eal_mp_sendmsg() is used to send a message, and returns immediately. If there are n secondary processes, the primary process will send n messages.
