[mlx vfio migration] The downtime value displayed is wrong

    • Normal
    • sst_virtualization

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • x86_64

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      During the mlx vfio migration, the Total downtime value displayed is much larger than the actual downtime.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      host:
      5.14.0-378.el9.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-8.1.0-1.el9.x86_64
      libvirt-9.5.0-7.el9_3.x86_64
      VM:
      5.14.0-378.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1. create a MT2910 VF and setup the VF for migration

      2. start a Q35 + SEABIOS VM with a mlx5_vfio_pci VF

      3. migrate the VM

      # /bin/virsh migrate --live --domain rhel94 --desturi qemu+ssh://10.73.212.96/system
      

      Note:
      Command '/bin/virsh migrate --live --domain rhel94 --desturi qemu+ssh://10.73.212.96/system' finished after 7.491417407989502s

      4. check the migration info

      # /bin/virsh domjobinfo rhel94 --completed

      (2) How to create a MT2910 VF and setup the VF for migration

      1.1 load the mlx5_vfio_pci module
      
      # modprobe mlx5_vfio_pci
      
      1.2 create VF
      
      # sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:b1:00.0/sriov_numvfs"
      # sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:b1:00.0/sriov_numvfs"
      
      1.3 set VF mac
      
      # sudo sh -c  "ip link set ens2f0np0 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:01:01:01"
      
      1.4 unbind created VF from driver
      
      # sudo sh -c  "echo 0000:b1:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind"
      
      1.5 set switchdev mode on PF
      
      # sudo sh -c "devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:b1:00.0 mode switchdev"
      # sudo sh -c "devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:b1:00.0"
          pci/0000:b1:00.0: mode switchdev inline-mode none encap-mode basic
      
      1.6 enable VF's migration feature
      
      # sudo sh -c "devlink port function set pci/0000:b1:00.0/1 migratable enable"
      # sudo sh -c  "devlink port show pci/0000:b1:00.0/1"
      	  …
        function:
          hw_addr 52:54:00:01:01:01 roce enable migratable enable
      
      1.7 bind VF to mlx5_vfio_pci driver
      
      # sudo sh -c "echo '15b3 101e' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_vfio_pci/new_id"
      # sudo sh -c "echo '15b3 101e' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_vfio_pci/remove_id"
      # readlink -f /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:b1\:00.2/driver
        /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_vfio_pci
