Michael S. Tsirkin f94682dde5 virtio: add context flag to find vqs
Allows maintaining extra context per vq.  For ease of use, passing in
NULL is legal and disables the feature for all vqs.

Includes fixes by Christian for s390, acked by Cornelia.

This basically passed up the pci_irq_get_affinity information through

Christoph Hellwig fb5e31d970 virtio: allow drivers to request IRQ affinity when creating VQs
Add a struct irq_affinity pointer to the find_vqs methods, which if set
is used to tell the PCI layer to create the MSI-X vectors for our I/O
virtqueues with the proper affinity from the start.  Compared to after
the fact affinity hints this gives us an instantly working setup and
allows to allocate the irq descritors node-local and avoid interconnect
traffic.  Last but not least this will allow blk-mq queues are created
based on the interrupt affinity for storage drivers.

Michael S. Tsirkin 1a93769399 virtio: new feature to detect IOMMU device quirk
The interaction between virtio and IOMMUs is messy.

On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses,
and it doesn't particularly matter which one we use to program
the device.

On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device
that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must program the IOMMU
for virtio DMA to work at all.

On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are
enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host
ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't
there or somehow map everything as the identity.

Add a feature bit to detect that quirk: VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Any device with this feature bit set to 0 needs a quirk and has to be
passed physical addresses (as opposed to bus addresses) even though
the device is behind an IOMMU.

Note: it has to be a per-device quirk because for example, there could
be a mix of passed-through and virtual virtio devices. As another
example, some devices could be implemented by an out of process
hypervisor backend (in case of qemu vhost, or vhost-user) and so support
for an IOMMU needs to be coded up separately.

It would be cleanest to handle this in IOMMU core code, but that needs
per-device DMA ops. While we are waiting for that to be implemented, use
a work-around in virtio core.

Note: a "noiommu" feature is a quirk - add a wrapper to make
that clear.

Stefan Hajnoczi f7ad26ff95 virtio: make find_vqs() checkpatch.pl-friendly
checkpatch.pl wants arrays of strings declared as follows:

  static const char * const names[] = { "vq-1", "vq-2", "vq-3" };

Currently the find_vqs() function takes a const char *names[] argument
so passing checkpatch.pl's const char * const names[] results in a
compiler error due to losing the second const.

This patch adjusts the find_vqs() prototype and updates all virtio
transports.  This makes it possible for virtio_balloon.c, virtio_input.c,
virtgpu_kms.c, and virtio_rpmsg_bus.c to use the checkpatch.pl-friendly
type.

Greg Kurz 7d82410950 virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors
The current memory accessors logic is:
- little endian if little_endian
- native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian

If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be
able to convert to big endian.

Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this
patch changes the logic to:
- little endian if little_endian
- big endian if !little_endian

The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper. This
patch doesn't change any functionality, nor it does add overhead.

Sometimes, virtio device need to configure irq affinity hint to maximize the
performance. Instead of just exposing the irq of a virtqueue, this patch
introduce an API to set the affinity for a virtqueue.

The api is best-effort, the affinity hint may not be set as expected due to
platform support, irq sharing or irq type. Currently, only pci method were
implemented and we set the affinity according to:

- if device uses INTX, we just ignore the request
- if device has per vq vector, we force the affinity hint
- if the virtqueues share MSI, make the affinity OR over all affinities

Michael S. Tsirkin e6af578c53 virtio-pci: make reset operation safer
virtio pci device reset actually just does an I/O
write, which in PCI is really posted, that is it
can complete on CPU before the device has received it.

Further, interrupts might have been pending on
another CPU, so device callback might get invoked after reset.

This conflicts with how drivers use reset, which is typically:
	reset
	unregister
a callback running after reset completed can race with
unregister, potentially leading to use after free bugs.

Fix by flushing out the write, and flushing pending interrupts.

This assumes that device is never reset from
its vq/config callbacks, or in parallel with being
added/removed, document this assumption.

Rusty Russell b4f68be6c5 virtio: force callback on empty.
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).

Rusty Russell c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.

There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.

So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.

Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.

Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.

API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

Rusty Russell 72e61eb40b virtio: change config to guest endian.
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.

The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci.  It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).

API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

Rusty Russell 6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
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.

Rusty Russell 18445c4d50 virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.

Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

Rusty Russell a586d4f601 virtio: simplify config mechanism.
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Rusty Russell ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.
