kernel-boot: Add rdma_topo tool
For some time now modern multi-NIC servers now have very complex
topology. Often with NICs, GPUs and NVMe devices that are topologically
co-located. These systems tend to come with specialized ACS requirements
for PCI Peer to Peer, for instance ACS disable or ACS setup specially for
translated traffic.
NVIDIA's latest systems have a novel PCI multipath system that requires
special asymmetric ACS.
Introduce a tool to help users configure the ACS on such systems. The tool
will be able to parse the PCI topology and identify the topological
features then generate the require ACS settings.
Modern kernels support the config_acs kernel command line parameter to
allow fine grained settings so the correct ACS for the topology can be fed
into Grub and to the kernel command line to configure it at boot
The tool has four functions:
topo - Print out the topology from the RDMA perspective. Indicate what
devices are P2P connected to the NIC.
write-grub-acs - Emit the config_acs kernel command line parameter for
the required ACS configuration
setpci-acs - Use setpci after booting to set the required ACS
configuration. This is not recommended but provided to help
legacy systems without config_acs.
check - Read the live ACS settings and compare them to the required
configuration
This initial version supports two NVIDIA platforms. There is an
expectation it will grow to more broadly support more common topologies as
well.
