IQA89601G1P5 QAT not working
-
I am seeing this error on my Super Micro 1541, seems to be related. Although in my case I am not virtualized, running a fresh installation of 23.01.
Any ideas what could cause these events and how they might be fixed:
Apr 27 01:56:29 kernel qat_ocf0: <QAT engine> Apr 27 01:56:29 kernel qat_ocf0: no QAT IRQ instances available Apr 27 01:56:29 kernel device_attach: qat_ocf0 attach returned 6@Impovich, do you have SRIOV enabled on the hypervisor?
Full disclosure, I am just guessing and grasping at straws as I have been unable to activate QAT on my particular box.
-
That's a different error. Is it the same QAT adapter?
-
This is the on-chip QAT that is present on the Xeon-D1541. Its kind-of-puzzling, there is not much on the web about this particular problem.

Unable to find AER capability of the device
I would possibly test by verifying that a few BIOS features are enabled on the system that is running the Xen Hypervisor. Then passthru the QAT device using SR-IOV so that VM can get more direct access to the QAT device thru virtual function,
I find the error about AER interesting as there is a related BIOS feature that can be found on some systems to present this functionality. When it comes to AER, it may be because the QAT device is not passed thru with SR-IOV so its unable to read the AER Assertions.
I hope my opinion helps, this is my best guess based on some other things I have worked on.
VT-d - (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O)
PCI-E AER - (PCI Advanced Error Reporting)
SR-IOV - (Single Root I/O Virtualization)https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads/intelr-quickassist-technology/330689qatvirtualizationappnoter006usreview.pdf
This guide has some information on how this is done with KVM, I know its not Xen, but it might be worth a look and some consideration.

- Activate it in the BIOS
- Open-VM-Tools packet installation
- Set up in pfSense to take advantage of that QAT
-
The Xeon D-1541 does not have any on chip QAT hardware.
That's why the driver is unable to attach.Steve

Oh Jeez, you are right, QAT didn't hit the Xeon-D until the next generation. I will see myself out, sorry for that.

SR-IOV - (Single Root I/O Virtualization)Hi, thank you for your suggestion.
VT-d is enabled
SR-IOV is enabled
PCI-E-AER is missing from biosbesides that, I have Nvidia T400 that is passed to Ubuntu and works

updates from my investigation
Pfsense on bare metal - QAT IQA89601G1P5 works!
Pfsense virtualized with Proxmox - exactly the same story as with xcp-ng :(
Intel states that it is possible to passthrough some QAT adapters including mine to KVM
Document which describes how to do it -
Does it work in vanilla FreeBSD? Or in Linux even?
-
@stephenw10
Didn't try vanilla FreeBSD, only in PFsense 23.01-RELEASE
As for Linux, I installed drivers on a Proxmox host successfully and it looked like everything was fine -
Right but did you try passing though the QAT device to a Linux VM?
-
@stephenw10 no, will try
-
@stephenw10
So another attempt:
Fresh proxmox installation
installed qat drivers and enabled SR-IOV
restored pfsense from backup
followed howto mentioned earlier in the threadand now I'm getting this, any thoughts?

Maybe this is because drivers in pfsense are not configured with --enable-icp-sriov=guest
From intel manual
2. Install the Intel® QAT Software package on the Guest. 3. Enable the SR-IOV build on the host by using: # ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=guest 4. Install the QAT software: # make install -
@impovich said in IQA89601G1P5 QAT not working:
qat_ocf0: <QAT engine>
qat_ocf0: no QAT IRQ instances available
device_attach: qat_ocf0 attach returned 6That is expected if there is simply no device present. or none with a driver attached.
And that appears to be the case here:none0@pci0:0:16:0: class=0x0b4000 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x37c9 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0000 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'C62x Chipset QuickAssist Technology Virtual Function' class = processorIt looks like the FreeBSD driver simply doesn't support the virtual devices yet:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14173Though looking at the code it does appear to be listed.
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/dev/qat/include/common/adf_accel_devices.h#L12
That is in the 23.01 code so you might expect it to at least try to attach.
