Like commit e2b3b35eb9 ("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"),
this patches implements batch used ring update for datacopy TX
(zerocopy has already done some kind of batching).
Testpmd transmission from guest to host (XDP_DROP on tap) shows 25.8%
improvement (from ~3.1Mpps to ~3.9Mpps) on Broadwell i7-5600U CPU @
2.60GHz machine. Netperf TCP tests does not show obvious differences.

We may run handle_rx() while rx work is queued. For example a packet can
push the rx work during the window before handle_rx calls
vhost_net_disable_vq().
In that case busypoll immediately exits due to vhost_has_work()
condition and enables vq again. This can lead to another unnecessary rx
wake-ups, so poll rx work instead of enabling the vq.

Under heavy load vhost busypoll may run without suppressing
notification. For example tx zerocopy callback can push tx work while
handle_tx() is running, then busyloop exits due to vhost_has_work()
condition and enables notification but immediately reenters handle_tx()
because the pushed work was tx. In this case handle_tx() tries to
disable notification again, but when using event_idx it by design
cannot. Then busyloop will run without suppressing notification.
Another example is the case where handle_tx() tries to enable
notification but avail idx is advanced so disables it again. This case
also leads to the same situation with event_idx.
The problem is that once we enter this situation busyloop does not work
under heavy load for considerable amount of time, because notification
is likely to happen during busyloop and handle_tx() immediately enables
notification after notification happens. Specifically busyloop detects
notification by vhost_has_work() and then handle_tx() calls
vhost_enable_notify(). Because the detected work was the tx work, it
enters handle_tx(), and enters busyloop without suppression again.
This is likely to be repeated, so with event_idx we are almost not able
to suppress notification in this case.
To fix this, poll the work instead of enabling notification when
busypoll is interrupted by something. IMHO vhost_has_work() is kind of
interruption rather than a signal to completely cancel the busypoll, so
let's run busypoll after the necessary work is done.

Similar to commit a2ac99905f ("vhost-net: set packet weight of
tx polling to 2 * vq size"), we need a packet-based limit for
handler_rx, too - elsewhere, under rx flood with small packets,
tx can be delayed for a very long time, even without busypolling.
The pkt limit applied to handle_rx must be the same applied by
handle_tx, or we will get unfair scheduling between rx and tx.
Tying such limit to the queue length makes it less effective for
large queue length values and can introduce large process
scheduler latencies, so a constant valued is used - likewise
the existing bytes limit.
The selected limit has been validated with PVP[1] performance
test with different queue sizes:
queue size 256 512 1024
baseline 366 354 362
weight 128 715 723 670
weight 256 740 745 733
weight 512 600 460 583
weight 1024 423 427 418
A packet weight of 256 gives peek performances in under all the
tested scenarios.
No measurable regression in unidirectional performance tests has
been detected.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f95
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.
"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.
None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.
This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.
Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.
rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.
Userspace API is not changed.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

This patch tries to batched used ring update during RX. This is pretty
fit for the case when guest is much faster (e.g dpdk based
backend). In this case, used ring is almost empty:
- we may get serious cache line misses/contending on both used ring
and used idx.
- at most 1 packet could be dequeued at one time, batching in guest
does not make much effect.
Update used ring in a batch can help since guest won't access the used
ring until used idx was advanced for several descriptors and since we
advance used ring for every N packets, guest will only need to access
used idx for every N packet since it can cache the used idx. To have a
better interaction for both batch dequeuing and dpdk batching,
VHOST_RX_BATCH was used as the maximum number of descriptors that
could be batched.
Test were done between two machines with 2.40GHz Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E5-2630 connected back to back through ixgbe. Traffic were generated
on one remote ixgbe through MoonGen and measure the RX pps through
testpmd in guest when do xdp_redirect_map from local ixgbe to
tap. RX pps were increased from 3.05 Mpps to 4.00 Mpps (about 31%
improvement).
One possible concern for this is the implications for TCP (especially
latency sensitive workload). Result[1] does not show obvious changes
for most of the netperf test (RR, TX, and RX). And we do get some
improvements for RX on some specific size.

This patch implements XDP transmission for TAP. Since we can't create
new queues for TAP during XDP set, exist ptr_ring was reused for
queuing XDP buffers. To differ xdp_buff from sk_buff, TUN_XDP_FLAG
(0x1UL) was encoded into lowest bit of xpd_buff pointer during
ptr_ring_produce, and was decoded during consuming. XDP metadata was
stored in the headroom of the packet which should work in most of
cases since driver usually reserve enough headroom. Very minor changes
were done for vhost_net: it just need to peek the length depends on
the type of pointer.
Tests were done on two Intel E5-2630 2.40GHz machines connected back
to back through two 82599ES. Traffic were generated/received through
MoonGen/testpmd(rxonly). It reports ~20% improvements when
xdp_redirect_map is doing redirection from ixgbe to TAP (from 2.50Mpps
to 3.05Mpps)

Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit
c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed
in the following thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg187936.html
Eventually we figured out that it was a skb leak in handle_rx()
when sending packets to the VM. This usually happens when a guest
can not drain out vq as fast as vhost fills in, afterwards it sets
off the traffic jam and leaks skb(s) which occurs as no headcount
to send on the vq from vhost side.
This can be avoided by making sure we have got enough headcount
before actually consuming a skb from the batched rx array while
transmitting, which is simply done by moving checking the zero
headcount a bit ahead.

We always poll tx for socket, this is sub optimal since this will
slightly increase the waitqueue traversing time and more important,
vhost could not benefit from commit 9e641bdcfa ("net-tun:
restructure tun_do_read for better sleep/wakeup efficiency") even if
we've stopped rx polling during handle_rx(), tx poll were still left
in the waitqueue.

Vhost-net has a hard limit on the number of zerocopy skbs in flight.
When reached, transmission stalls. Stalls cause latency, as well as
head-of-line blocking of other flows that do not use zerocopy.
Instead of stalling, revert to copy-based transmission.
Tested by sending two udp flows from guest to host, one with payload
of VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, the other too small for zerocopy (1B). The
large flow is redirected to a netem instance with 1MBps rate limit
and deep 1000 entry queue.
modprobe ifb
ip link set dev ifb0 up
tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root netem limit 1000 rate 1MBit
tc qdisc add dev tap0 ingress
tc filter add dev tap0 parent ffff: protocol ip \
u32 match ip dport 8000 0xffff \
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
Before the delay, both flows process around 80K pps. With the delay,
before this patch, both process around 400. After this patch, the
large flow is still rate limited, while the small reverts to its
original rate. See also discussion in the first link, below.
Without rate limiting, {1, 10, 100}x TCP_STREAM tests continued to
send at 100% zerocopy.
The limit in vhost_exceeds_maxpend must be carefully chosen. With
vq->num >> 1, the flows remain correlated. This value happens to
correspond to VHOST_MAX_PENDING for vq->num == 256. Allow smaller
fractions and ensure correctness also for much smaller values of
vq->num, by testing the min() of both explicitly. See also the
discussion in the second link below.
Changes
v1 -> v2
- replaced min with typed min_t
- avoid unnecessary whitespace change

We check tx avail through vhost_enable_notify() in the past which is
wrong since it only checks whether or not guest has filled more
available buffer since last avail idx synchronization which was just
done by vhost_vq_avail_empty() before. What we really want is checking
pending buffers in the avail ring. Fix this by calling
vhost_vq_avail_empty() instead.
This issue could be noticed by doing netperf TCP_RR benchmark as
client from guest (but not host). With this fix, TCP_RR from guest to
localhost restores from 1375.91 trans per sec to 55235.28 trans per
sec on my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz).

Prepare the datapath for refcounted ubuf_info. Clone ubuf_info with
skb_zerocopy_clone() wherever needed due to skb split, merge, resize
or clone.
Split skb_orphan_frags into two variants. The split, merge, .. paths
support reference counted zerocopy buffers, so do not do a deep copy.
Add skb_orphan_frags_rx for paths that may loop packets to receive
sockets. That is not allowed, as it may cause unbounded latency.
Deep copy all zerocopy copy buffers, ref-counted or not, in this path.
The exact locations to modify were chosen by exhaustively searching
through all code that might modify skb_frag references and/or the
the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY tx_flags bit.
The changes err on the safe side, in two ways.
(1) legacy ubuf_info paths virtio and tap are not modified. They keep
a 1:1 ubuf_info to sk_buff relationship. Calls to skb_orphan_frags
still call skb_copy_ubufs and thus copy frags in this case.
(2) not all copies deep in the stack are addressed yet. skb_shift,
skb_split and skb_try_coalesce can be refined to avoid copying.
These are not in the hot path and this patch is hairy enough as
is, so that is left for future refinement.

__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

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.
