virtio: add api for delayed callbacks

2011-05-30T01:44:16+00:00

Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks
should be delayed until a lot of work has been done.
Implement using the new event_idx feature.

Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers
ask for a callback after a specific capacity has
been reached. However, as a single head can
free many entries in the descriptor table,
we don't really have a clue about capacity
until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest
to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of
hints drivers can pass when there's more than one
user of the feature.

virtio_ring: support event idx feature

2011-05-30T01:44:15+00:00

Support for the new event idx feature:
1. When enabling interrupts, publish the current avail index
   value to the host to get interrupts on the next update.
2. Use the new avail_event feature to reduce the number
   of exits from the guest.

Simple test with the simulator:

[virtio]# time ./virtio_test
spurious wakeus: 0x7

real    0m0.169s
user    0m0.140s
sys     0m0.019s
[virtio]# time ./virtio_test --no-event-idx
spurious wakeus: 0x11

real    0m0.649s
user    0m0.295s
sys     0m0.335s

virtio: Decrement avail idx on buffer detach

2011-04-21T13:27:00+00:00

When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be
decremented as well.

This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then
plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were
just 'disowned').  qemu reported

   'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256'

when any IO was attempted on the new port.

virtio: return correct capacity to users

2010-11-24T04:51:11+00:00

We can't rely on indirect buffers for capacity
calculations because they need a memory allocation
which might fail.  In particular, virtio_net can get
into this situation under stress, and it drops packets
and performs badly.

So return the number of buffers we can guarantee users.

virtio: fix oops on OOM

2010-07-26T15:05:31+00:00

virtio ring was changed to return an error code on OOM,
but one caller was missed and still checks for vq->vring.num.
The fix is just to check for <0 error code.

Long term it might make sense to change goto add_head to
just return an error on oom instead, but let's apply
a minimal fix for 2.6.35.

virtio_ring: remove a level of indirection

2010-05-19T12:45:43+00:00

We have a single virtqueue_ops implementation,
and it seems unlikely we'll get another one
at this point. So let's remove an unnecessary
level of indirection: it would be very easy to
re-add it if another implementation surfaces.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

virtio: Initialize vq->data entries to NULL

2010-02-24T03:52:29+00:00

vq operations depend on vq->data[i] being NULL to figure out if the vq
entry is in use (since the previous patch).

We have to initialize them to NULL to ensure we don't work with junk
data and trigger false BUG_ONs.
