vhost_net: avoid tx queue stuck when sendmsg fails

2021-01-19T19:13:30+00:00

Currently the driver doesn't drop a packet which can't be sent by tun
(e.g bad packet). In this case, the driver will always process the
same packet lead to the tx queue stuck.

To fix this issue:
1. in the case of persistent failure (e.g bad packet), the driver
   can skip this descriptor by ignoring the error.
2. in the case of transient failure (e.g -ENOBUFS, -EAGAIN and -ENOMEM),
   the driver schedules the worker to try again.

tap/tun: add skb_zcopy_init() helper for initialization.

2021-01-08T00:08:37+00:00

Replace direct assignments with skb_zcopy_init() for zerocopy
cases where a new skb is initialized, without changing the
reference counts.

skbuff: Add skb parameter to the ubuf zerocopy callback

2021-01-08T00:06:37+00:00

Add an optional skb parameter to the zerocopy callback parameter,
which is passed down from skb_zcopy_clear().  This gives access
to the original skb, which is needed for upcoming RX zero-copy
error handling.

vhost_net: fix ubuf refcount incorrectly when sendmsg fails

2021-01-04T21:18:52+00:00

Currently the vhost_zerocopy_callback() maybe be called to decrease
the refcount when sendmsg fails in tun. The error handling in vhost
handle_tx_zerocopy() will try to decrease the same refcount again.
This is wrong. To fix this issue, we only call vhost_net_ubuf_put()
when vq->heads[nvq->desc].len == VHOST_DMA_IN_PROGRESS.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15+00:00

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

vhost: allow device that does not depend on vhost worker

2020-06-04T19:36:51+00:00

vDPA device currently relays the eventfd via vhost worker. This is
inefficient due the latency of wakeup and scheduling, so this patch
tries to introduce a use_worker attribute for the vhost device. When
use_worker is not set with vhost_dev_init(), vhost won't try to
allocate a worker thread and the vhost_poll will be processed directly
in the wakeup function.

This help for vDPA since it reduces the latency caused by vhost worker.

In my testing, it saves 0.2 ms in pings between VMs on a mutual host.
