## Verify Intel QAT works in a Docker Kata Containers container

Intel QAT engine to allow OpenSSL to offload crypto functions. It is a
convenient way to test that VFIO device passthrough for the Intel QAT VF’s are
working properly with the Kata Containers VM. working properly with the Kata Containers VM.

```sh ```bash
$ cd $QAT_SRC $ cd $QAT_SRC
$ curl -O $QAT_DOCKERFILE $ curl -O $QAT_DOCKERFILE
$ sudo sed -i 's/kata-runtime/runc/g' /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/50-runtime.conf
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart docker
$ sudo docker build -t openssl-qat-engine . $ sudo docker build -t openssl-qat-engine .

card bound to `VFIO-PCI`. Verify this by looking in `/dev/vfio` for a listing more convenient to use this tool to verify the kernel and image instead of
of devices. Replace the number 90 with one of the VF’s exposed in `/dev/vfio`. setting up a Kubernetes cluster. The correct Kata runtimes need to be added
It might require you to add an `IPC_LOCK` capability to your Docker runtime to the containerd `config.toml`. Below is a sample snippet that can be added
depending on which rootfs you use. to allow QEMU and Cloud Hypervisor (CLH) to work with `ctr`.
```sh ```
$ sudo docker run -it --runtime=kata-runtime --cap-add=IPC_LOCK --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --device=/dev/vfio/90 -v /dev:/dev -v ${QAT_CONF_LOCATION}:/etc openssl-qat-engine bash [plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.kata-qemu]
runtime_type = "io.containerd.kata-qemu.v2"
privileged_without_host_devices = true
pod_annotations = ["io.katacontainers.*"]
[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.kata-qemu.options]
ConfigPath = "/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-qemu.toml"
[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.kata-clh]
runtime_type = "io.containerd.kata-clh.v2"
privileged_without_host_devices = true
pod_annotations = ["io.katacontainers.*"]
[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.kata-clh.options]
ConfigPath = "/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-clh.toml"
``` ```
Below are some commands to run in the container image to verify Intel QAT is In addition, containerd expects the binary to be in `/usr/local/bin` so add
this small script so that it redirects to be able to use either QEMU or
Cloud Hypervisor with Kata.
```bash
$ echo '#!/bin/bash' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-qemu-v2
$ echo 'KATA_CONF_FILE=/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-qemu.toml /opt/kata/bin/containerd-shim-kata-v2 $@' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-qemu-v2
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-qemu-v2
$ echo '#!/bin/bash' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-clh-v2
$ echo 'KATA_CONF_FILE=/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-clh.toml /opt/kata/bin/containerd-shim-kata-v2 $@' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-clh-v2
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-kata-clh-v2
```
After the OpenSSL image is built and imported into containerd, a Intel® QAT
virtual function exposed in the step above can be added to the `ctr` command.
Make sure to change the `/dev/vfio` number to one that actually exists on the
host system. When using the `ctr` tool, the`configuration.toml` for Kata needs
to point to the custom Kata kernel and rootfs built above and the Intel® QAT
modules in the Kata rootfs need to load at boot. The following steps assume that
`kata-deploy` was used to install Kata and QEMU is being tested. If using a
different hypervisor, different install method for Kata, or a different
Intel® QAT chipset then the command will need to be modified.
> **Note: The following was tested with
[containerd v1.3.9](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.3.9).**
```bash
$ config_file="/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-qemu.toml"

Test with Intel QAT card acceleration ### Test Intel® QAT in Kubernetes
```sh Start a Kubernetes cluster with containerd as the CRI. The host should
bash-5.0# openssl speed -engine qat -elapsed -async_jobs 72 rsa2048 already be setup with 16 virtual functions of the Intel® QAT card bound to
`VFIO-PCI`. Verify this by looking in `/dev/vfio` for a listing of devices.
You might need to disable Docker before initializing Kubernetes. Be aware
that the OpenSSL container image built above will need to be exported from
Docker and imported into containerd.
If Kata is installed through [`kata-deploy`](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/blob/stable-2.0/tools/packaging/kata-deploy/README.md)
there will be multiple `configuration.toml` files associated with different
hypervisors. Rather than add in the custom Kata kernel, Kata rootfs, and
kernel modules to each `configuration.toml` as the default, instead use
[annotations](https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/blob/stable-2.0/docs/how-to/how-to-load-kernel-modules-with-kata.md)
in the Kubernetes YAML file to tell Kata which kernel and rootfs to use. The
easy way to do this is to use `kata-deploy` which will install the Kata binaries
to `/opt` and properly configure the `/etc/containerd/config.toml` with annotation
support. However, the `configuration.toml` needs to enable support for
annotations as well. The following configures both QEMU and Cloud Hypervisor
`configuration.toml` files that are currently available with Kata Container
versions 2.0 and higher.
```bash
$ sudo sed -i 's/enable_annotations\s=\s\[\]/enable_annotations = [".*"]/' /opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-qemu.toml
$ sudo sed -i 's/enable_annotations\s=\s\[\]/enable_annotations = [".*"]/' /opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration-clh.toml
``` ```
Test with CPU acceleration Export the OpenSSL image from Docker and import into containerd.
```bash
$ sudo docker save -o openssl-qat-engine.tar openssl-qat-engine:latest
$ sudo ctr -n=k8s.io images import openssl-qat-engine.tar
```
The [Intel® QAT Plugin](https://github.com/intel/intel-device-plugins-for-kubernetes/blob/master/cmd/qat_plugin/README.md)
needs to be started so that the virtual functions can be discovered and
used by Kubernetes.
The following YAML file can be used to start a Kata container with Intel® QAT
support. If Kata is installed with `kata-deploy`, then the containerd
`configuration.toml` should have all of the Kata runtime classes already
populated and annotations supported. To use a Intel® QAT virtual function, the
Intel® QAT plugin needs to be started after the VF's are bound to `VFIO-PCI` as
described [above](#expose-and-bind-intel-qat-virtual-functions-to-vfio-pci-every-reboot).
