This patch adds queue steering to virtio-scsi. When a target is sent
multiple requests, we always drive them to the same queue so that FIFO
processing order is kept. However, if a target was idle, we can choose
a queue arbitrarily. In this case the queue is chosen according to the
current VCPU, so the driver expects the number of request queues to be
equal to the number of VCPUs. This makes it easy and fast to select
the queue, and also lets the driver optimize the IRQ affinity for the
virtqueues (each virtqueue's affinity is set to the CPU that "owns"
the queue).
The speedup comes from improving cache locality and giving CPU affinity
to the virtqueues, which is why this scheme was selected. Assuming that
the thread that is sending requests to the device is I/O-bound, it is
likely to be sleeping at the time the ISR is executed, and thus executing
the ISR on the same processor that sent the requests is cheap.
However, the kernel will not execute the ISR on the "best" processor
unless you explicitly set the affinity. This is because in practice
you will have many such I/O-bound processes and thus many otherwise
idle processors. Then the kernel will execute the ISR on a random
processor, rather than the one that is sending requests to the device.
The alternative to per-CPU virtqueues is per-target virtqueues. To
achieve the same locality, we could dynamically choose the virtqueue's
affinity based on the CPU of the last task that sent a request. This
is less appealing because we do not set the affinity directly---we only
provide a hint to the irqbalanced running in userspace. Dynamically
changing the affinity only works if the userspace applies the hint
fast enough.

virtio_scsi_target_state is now empty. We will find new uses for it in
the next few patches, so this patch does not drop it completely.
And as James suggested, we use entries target_alloc and target_destroy
in the host template to allocate and destroy the virtio_scsi_target_state
of each target, attach this struct to scsi_target->hostdata. Now
we can get at it from the sdev with scsi_target(sdev)->hostdata.
No messing around with fixed size arrays and bulk memory allocation
and no need to pass in the maximum target size as a parameter because
everything should now happen dynamically.

when the capacity of a disk is changed from the virtual machine monitor.

virtio-scsi needs to report LUNs greater than 256 using the "flat"
format. Because the Linux SCSI layer just maps the SCSI LUN to
an u32, without any parsing, these end up in the range from 16640
to 32767. Fix max_lun to account for the possibility that logical
unit numbers are encoded with the "flat" format.

When using the commands below to write some data to a virtio-scsi LUN of the
QEMU guest(32-bit) with 1G physical memory(qemu -m 1024), the qemu will crash.
# sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb (/dev/sdb is the virtio-scsi LUN.)
# sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1024
In current implementation, sg_set_buf is called to add buffers to sg list which
is put into the virtqueue eventually. But if there are some HighMem pages in
table->sgl you can not get virtual address by sg_virt. So, sg_virt(sg_elem) may
return NULL value. This will cause QEMU exit when virtqueue_map_sg is called
in QEMU because an invalid GPA is passed by virtqueue.
Two solutions are discussed here:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1207.3/00675.html
Finally, value assignment approach was adopted because:
Value assignment creates a well-formed scatterlist, because the termination
marker in source sg_list has been set in blk_rq_map_sg(). The last entry of the
source sg_list is just copied to the the last entry in destination list. Note
that, for now, virtio_ring does not care about the form of the scatterlist and
simply processes the first out_num + in_num consecutive elements of the sg[]
array.
I have tested the patch on my workstation. QEMU would not crash any more.

This patch changes virtio-scsi to use a new virtio_driver->scan() callback
so that scsi_scan_host() can be properly invoked once virtio_dev_probe() has
set add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK) to signal active virtio-ring
operation, instead of from within virtscsi_probe().
This fixes a bug where SCSI LUN scanning for both virtio-scsi-raw and
virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost setups was happening before VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK
had been set, causing VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BAD_TARGET to occur. This fixes a bug
with virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost where LUN scan was not detecting LUNs.

We do not need the sglist after calling virtqueue_add_buf. Hence we
can "pipeline" the locked operations and start preparing the sglist
for the next request while we kick the virtqueue.
Together with the previous two patches, this improves performance as
follows. For a simple "if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=128M iflag=direct"
(the source being a 10G disk, residing entirely in the host buffer cache),
the additional locking does not cause any penalty with only one dd
process, but 2 simultaneous I/O operations improve their times by 3%:

The virtio-scsi HBA is the basis of an alternative storage stack
for QEMU-based virtual machines (including KVM). Compared to
virtio-blk it is more scalable, because it supports many LUNs
on a single PCI slot), more powerful (it more easily supports
passthrough of host devices to the guest) and more easily
extensible (new SCSI features implemented by QEMU should not
require updating the driver in the guest).
