virtqueue_add() populates the virtqueue descriptor table from the sgs
given. If it uses an indirect descriptor table, then it puts a single
descriptor in the descriptor table pointing to the kmalloc'ed indirect
table where the sg is populated.
Previously vring_add_indirect() did the allocation and the simple
linear layout. We replace that with alloc_indirect() which allocates
the indirect table then chains it like the normal descriptor table so
we can reuse the core logic.
This slows down pktgen by less than 1/2 a percent (which uses direct
descriptors), as well as vring_bench, but it's far neater.

Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic
context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such
allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys
to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to
userspace via the buffers for the virtual device.
This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested
flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic
allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which
will be handled by the driver.

A virtio driver does virtqueue_add_buf() multiple times before finally
calling virtqueue_kick(); previously we only exposed the added buffers
in the virtqueue_kick() call. This means we don't need a memory
barrier in virtqueue_add_buf(), but it reduces concurrency as the
device (ie. host) can't see the buffers until the kick.
In the unusual (but now possible) case where a driver does add_buf()
and get_buf() without doing a kick, we do need to insert one before
our counter wraps. Otherwise we could wrap num_added, and later on
not realize that we have passed the marker where we should have
kicked.

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

If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch

There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused
buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown.
This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on
another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control
memory access ordering.
Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than
mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on
accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use)
(compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64).
We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because
we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be
running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in
that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead.

With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller
invokes two virtio methods in parallel. The barriers attempt to ensure
timely update of the ->in_use flag.
But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the
calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the
code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to
detect it.
Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more
chance of hiding real problems.

Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at
the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
immediately.
Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds
to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
outgoing parts of the new buffer.
Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

I looked into the virtio_net code for some time and I think the following
scenario happened. Please look at virtnet_poll:
[...]
/* Out of packets? */
if (received < budget) {
netif_rx_complete(vi->dev, napi);
if (unlikely(!vi->rvq->vq_ops->enable_cb(vi->rvq))
&& napi_schedule_prep(napi)) {
vi->rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(vi->rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, napi);
goto again;
}
}
If an interrupt arrives after netif_rx_complete, a second poll routine can run
on a different cpu. The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any
harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the
disable_cb in skb_recv_done.
static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq)
{
struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv;
/* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */
if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) {
rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq);
__netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi);
}
}
That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is
ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the
second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG.
The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in
enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops
could come from?

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is
overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this.
Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:
poll says netif_rx_complete
poll calls enable_cb
enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
enable_cb sees that there is more work |
enable_cb disables the interrupt |
. V
. interrupt is delivered
. skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
.
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb
The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net
driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because
virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it
contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send
interrupts.
But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb
actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt
routine.
Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since
disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be
some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is
called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never
run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx.
Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an

wraps around.
This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type.

These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest
implementation:
1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
cacheline.
5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared.
6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.
Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
