Michael S. Tsirkin 935cdee7ee vhost: avoid backend flush on vring ops
vring changes already do a flush internally where appropriate, so we do
not need a second flush.

It's currently not very expensive but a follow-up patch makes flush more
heavy-weight, so remove the extra flush here to avoid regressing
performance if call or kick fds are changed on data path.

Michael S. Tsirkin e19d6763cc skb: report completion status for zero copy skbs
Even if skb is marked for zero copy, net core might still decide
to copy it later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context:
besides copying the data we need to pin/unpin the pages.

Add a parameter reporting such cases through zero copy callback:
if this happens a lot, device can take this into account
and switch to copying in user context.

This patch updates all users but ignores the passed value for now:
it will be used by follow-up patches.

Stefan Hajnoczi 163049aefd vhost: make vhost work queue visible
The vhost work queue allows processing to be done in vhost worker thread
context, which uses the owner process mm.  Access to the vring and guest
memory is typically only possible from vhost worker context so it is
useful to allow work to be queued directly by users.

Currently vhost_net only uses the poll wrappers which do not expose the
work queue functions.  However, for tcm_vhost (vhost_scsi) it will be
necessary to queue custom work.

Nadav Har'El d550dda192 vhost: don't forget to schedule()
This is a tiny, but important, patch to vhost.

Vhost's worker thread only called schedule() when it had no work to do, and
it wanted to go to sleep. But if there's always work to do, e.g., the guest
is running a network-intensive program like netperf with small message sizes,
schedule() was *never* called. This had several negative implications (on
non-preemptive kernels):

 1. Passing time was not properly accounted to the "vhost" process (ps and
    top would wrongly show it using zero CPU time).

 2. Sometimes error messages about RCU timeouts would be printed, if the
    core running the vhost thread didn't schedule() for a very long time.

 3. Worst of all, a vhost thread would "hog" the core. If several vhost
    threads need to share the same core, typically one would get most of the
    CPU time (and its associated guest most of the performance), while the
    others hardly get any work done.

The trivial solution is to add

	if (need_resched())
		schedule();

After doing every piece of work. This will not do the heavy schedule() all
the time, just when the timer interrupt decided a reschedule is warranted
(so need_resched returns true).

Thanks to Abel Gordon for this patch.

Michael S. Tsirkin bab632d69e vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support
>From: Shirley Ma <mashirle@us.ibm.com>

This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net,
disabled by default. To enable, set
experimental_zcopytx module option to 1.

This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the
sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers
will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished.
This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two
buffer indices are used for this purpose.

The vhost-net device passes the userspace buffers info to lower device
skb through message control. DMA done status check and guest
notification are handled by handle_tx: in the worst case is all buffers
in the vq are in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to
release DMA done buffers first before we get any new buffers from the
vq.

One known problem is that if the guest stops submitting
buffers, buffers might never get used until some
further action, e.g. device reset. This does not
seem to affect linux guests.

Michael S. Tsirkin 87d6a412bd vhost: fix attach to cgroups regression
Since 2.6.36-rc1, non-root users of vhost-net fail to attach
if they are in any cgroups.

The reason is that when qemu uses vhost, vhost wants to attach
its thread to all cgroups that qemu has.  But we got the API backwards,
so a non-priveledged process (Qemu) tried to control
the priveledged one (vhost), which fails.

Fix this by switching to the new cgroup_attach_task_all,
and running it from the vhost thread.
