Chapter 7. QAT acceleration for encryption and compression

Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) can provide extended accelerated encryption and compression services by offloading the actual encryption and compression requests to the hardware QuickAssist accelerators, which are more efficient in terms of cost and power than general purpose CPUs for those specific compute-intensive workloads.

Important

Hardware accelerated compression in Ceph Object Gateway requires RHEL 9.4 on a Sapphire or Emerald Rapids Xeon CPU (or newer) with QAT devices. For more information, see Intel Ark.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Ceph Object gateway installed.

  • Grub is configured to pass the intel_iommu parameter. 

    grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="intel_iommu=on"

7.1. Setting up the QAT service
Copia collegamento

You can set up the QAT service to encrypt and compress the Ceph Object Gateway objects.

Procedure

  1. Install qatlib-service, qatlib, qatzip, and qatengine packages. 

    # dnf install -y qatlib-service qatlib qatzip qatengine

  2. Add root to the QAT group on the host. 

    # usermod -aG qat root

  3. Check that the limits.conf file exists with one of the following ServicesEnabled parameters in the configuration file.

    • For using data encryption, check that ServicesEnabled is set to asym. 

      # sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/qat

ServicesEnabled=sym
POLICY=8

    • For using data compression, check that ServicesEnabled is set to dc. 

      # sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/qat

ServicesEnabled=dc
POLICY=8

    • For using both data encryption and compression, check that ServicesEnabled is set to asym,dc. 

      # sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/qat

ServicesEnabled=sym,dc
POLICY=8

  4. Configure the limits.conf file with memlock information. 

    # sudo vim /etc/security/limits.conf

...
root - memlock 500000
ceph - memlock 500000
...

  5. Enable the configurations in the limits.conf file. 

    # sudo su -l $USER

  6. Enable the QAT service. 

    # systemctl enable qat

  7. Reboot the node. 

    # systemctl reboot

  8. Create the specification file and pass additional arguments to Podman for Ceph Object Gateway.

    Note

    You can use the following command to generate the device list:

    --device /dev/vfio --device /dev/qat_adf_ctl $(for i in ls /dev/vfio/*) | grep `dev | grep -v :` ; do echo --device $i;
