Rusty Russell 58eba97d07 virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx
virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason
add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the
device until some request completes - there's no guarantee anything
at all is outstanding.

Make the error message clearer as well: error here does not
indicate queue full.

Michael S. Tsirkin 1788f49548 virtio_net: do not reschedule rx refill forever
We currently fill all of RX ring, then add_buf
returns ENOSPC, which gets mis-detected as an out of
memory condition and causes us to reschedule the work,
and so on forever. Fix this by oom = err == -ENOMEM;

Michael S. Tsirkin aa989f5e46 virtio-net: pass gfp to add_buf
virtio-net bounces buffer allocations off to
a thread if it can't allocate buffers from the atomic
pool. However, if posting buffers still requires atomic
buffers, this is unlikely to succeed.
Fix by passing in the proper gfp_t parameter.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

Shirley Ma 9ab86bbcf8 virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:53:38 -0800
virtio_net receives packets from its pre-allocated vring buffers, then it
delivers these packets to upper layer protocols as skb buffs. So it's not
necessary to pre-allocate skb for each mergable buffer, then frees extra
skbs when buffers are merged into a large packet. This patch has deferred
skb allocation in receiving packets for both big packets and mergeable buffers
to reduce skb pre-allocations and skb frees. It frees unused buffers by calling
detach_unused_buf in vring, so recv skb queue is not needed.

Herbert Xu 39d3215774 virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM.  After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side.  As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.

The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.

My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled.  The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.

As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.

The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.

Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca73
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

Rusty Russell 48925e372f virtio_net: avoid (most) NETDEV_TX_BUSY by stopping queue early.
Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output
queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early.

It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure,
but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other
drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons).

For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux
network API.

Rusty Russell b0c39dbdc2 virtio_net: don't free buffers in xmit ring
The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old
xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit
path).

The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(),
reset on every xmit.  Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the
transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer
fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken.

So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices
send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring
which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet().  This was a benchmark win.

Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a
host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit
packet (slowing the guest down further).  Attempting mitigation in the
host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional
pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it
wrong.

In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage
of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there.

Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and
no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY.  Note that the current
QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal,
but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that.

Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified
the other end, for a slight optimization.

Rusty Russell 8958f574db virtio_net: return NETDEV_TX_BUSY instead of queueing an extra skb.
This effectively reverts 99ffc696d1
"virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY".

The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is
questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the
tasklet in the next patch.

If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

Rusty Russell 2b5bbe3b8b virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path.
The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on
removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't
generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times.

After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan()
generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver.  Following
patches take advantage of this.

Jiri Pirko 31278e7147 net: group address list and its count
This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what
my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced
structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits:
1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer.
2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently
   on netdevices (with exporting right functions).
I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.
