We used to dequeue one skb during recvmsg() from skb_array, this could
be inefficient because of the bad cache utilization and spinlock
touching for each packet. This patch tries to batch them by calling
batch dequeuing helpers explicitly on the exported skb array and pass
the skb back through msg_control for underlayer socket to finish the
userspace copying. Batch dequeuing is also the requirement for more
batching improvement on receive path.
Tests were done by pktgen on tap with XDP1 in guest. Host is Intel(R)
Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz.

vhost code uses __GFP_REPEAT when allocating vhost_virtqueue resp.
vhost_vsock because it would really like to prefer kmalloc to the
vmalloc fallback - see 23cc5a991c ("vhost-net: extend device
allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also
noted:
"__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means
all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses
are."
The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users.
Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are
two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM
killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly
override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is
ignored for !costly orders.
Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it
would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of
this patch.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping
to emulate an IOMMU for the guest.
The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB
(which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net
file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB
update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault
address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace
finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the
vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB.
When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq
addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and
the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace
memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is
prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens
during vq processing.
In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space.
The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little
slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.

Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future
device IOTLB conversion:
1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's
expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation.
2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect
several regions with different size.
3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU
To overcome the above shortcomings, this patch convert it to interval
tree which can easily address the above issue with almost no extra
work.
The patch could be used for:
- Extend the current API and only let the userspace to send diffs of
memory table.
- Simplify Device IOTLB implementation.

We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less
efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer
and consumer.
This patch tries to address this by:
- switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when
tx_queue_len was changed.
- introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the
skb length.
- implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert
vhost_net to use peek_len if possible.

We don't stop rx polling socket during rx processing, this will lead
unnecessary wakeups from under layer net devices (E.g
sock_def_readable() form tun). Rx will be slowed down in this
way. This patch avoids this by stop polling socket during rx
processing. A small drawback is that this introduces some overheads in
light load case because of the extra start/stop polling, but single
netperf TCP_RR does not notice any change. In a super heavy load case,
e.g using pktgen to inject packet to guest, we get about ~8.8%

Looking at how callers use this, maybe we should just rename init_used
to vhost_vq_init_access. The _used suffix was a hint that we
access the vq used ring. But maybe what callers care about is
that it must be called after access_ok.
Also, this function manipulates the vq->is_le field which isn't related
to the vq used ring.
This patch simply renames vhost_init_used() to vhost_vq_init_access() as
suggested by Michael.

Michael Mueller provided a patch to reduce the size of
vhost-net structure as some allocations could fail under
memory pressure/fragmentation. We are still left with
high order allocations though.
This patch is handling the problem at the core level, allowing
vhost structures to use vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed.
As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, add __GFP_REPEAT
to kzalloc() flags to do this fallback only when really needed.
People are still looking at cleaner ways to handle the problem
at the API level, probably passing in multiple iovecs.
This hack seems consistent with approaches
taken since then by drivers/vhost/scsi.c and net/core/dev.c

When mergeable buffers are disabled, and the
incoming packet is too large for the rx buffer,
get_rx_bufs returns success.
This was intentional in order for make recvmsg
truncate the packet and then handle_rx would
detect err != sock_len and drop it.
Unfortunately we pass the original sock_len to
recvmsg - which means we use parts of iov not fully
validated.
Fix this up by detecting this overrun and doing packet drop
immediately.

vhost checked the counter within the refcnt before decrementing. It
really wanted to know that it is the one that has the last reference, as
a way to batch freeing resources a bit more efficiently.
Note: we only let refcount go to 0 on device release.
This works well but we now access the ref counter twice so there's a
race: all users might see a high count and decide to defer freeing
resources.
In the end no one initiates freeing resources until the last reference
is gone (which is on VM shotdown so might happen after a looooong time).
Let's do what we probably should have done straight away:
switch from kref to plain atomic, documenting the
semantics, return the refcount value atomically after decrement,
then use that to avoid the deadlock.

Currently, even if the packet length is smaller than VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, if
upend_idx != done_idx we still set zcopy_used to true and rollback this choice
later. This could be avoided by determining zerocopy once by checking all
conditions at one time before.

We tend to batch the used adding and signaling in vhost_zerocopy_callback()
which may result more than 100 used buffers to be updated in
vhost_zerocopy_signal_used() in some cases. So switch to use
vhost_add_used_and_signal_n() to avoid multiple calls to
vhost_add_used_and_signal(). Which means much less times of used index
updating and memory barriers.
2% performance improvement were seen on netperf TCP_RR test.

Now, vq->private_data is always accessed under vq mutex. No need to play
the vhost rcu trick.
