2017-07-30Revert "vhost: cache used event for better performance"Jason Wang1-22/+6
This reverts commit 809ecb9bca6a9424ccd392d67e368160f8b76c92. Since it was reported to break vhost_net. We want to cache used event and use it to check for notification. The assumption was that guest won't move the event idx back, but this could happen in fact when 16 bit index wraps around after 64K entries.

2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar1-1/+1
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2017-05-09mm: support __GFP_REPEAT in kvmalloc_node for >32kBMichal Hocko1-12/+3
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 23cc5a991c7a ("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.

2017-03-02vhost: introduce O(1) vq metadata cacheJason Wang1-26/+110
When device IOTLB is enabled, all address translations were stored in interval tree. O(lgN) searching time could be slow for virtqueue metadata (avail, used and descriptors) since they were accessed much often than other addresses. So this patch introduces an O(1) array which points to the interval tree nodes that store the translations of vq metadata. Those array were update during vq IOTLB prefetching and were reset during each invalidation and tlb update. Each time we want to access vq metadata, this small array were queried before interval tree. This would be sufficient for static mappings but not dynamic mappings, we could do optimizations on top. Test were done with l2fwd in guest (2M hugepage): noiommu | before | after tx 1.32Mpps | 1.06Mpps(82%) | 1.30Mpps(98%) rx 2.33Mpps | 1.46Mpps(63%) | 2.29Mpps(98%) We can almost reach the same performance as noiommu mode.

2017-02-04vhost: fix initialization for vq->is_leHalil Pasic1-6/+4
Currently, under certain circumstances vhost_init_is_le does just a part of the initialization job, and depends on vhost_reset_is_le being called too. For this reason vhost_vq_init_access used to call vhost_reset_is_le when vq->private_data is NULL. This is not only counter intuitive, but also real a problem because it breaks vhost_net. The bug was introduced to vhost_net with commit 2751c9882b94 ("vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices"). The symptom is corruption of the vq's used.idx field (virtio) after VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND was issued as a part of the vhost shutdown on a vq with pending descriptors. Let us make sure the outcome of vhost_init_is_le never depend on the state it is actually supposed to initialize, and fix virtio_net by removing the reset from vhost_vq_init_access. With the above, there is no reason for vhost_reset_is_le to do just half of the job. Let us make vhost_reset_is_le reinitialize is_le.

2016-12-16vhost: cache used event for better performanceJason Wang1-6/+22
When event index was enabled, we need to fetch used event from userspace memory each time. This userspace fetch (with memory barrier) could be saved sometime when 1) caching used event and 2) if used event is ahead of new and old to new updating does not cross it, we're sure there's no need to notify guest.

2016-08-02vhost: new device IOTLB APIJason Wang1-43/+593
This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping to emulate an IOMMU for the guest. The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB (which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB. When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens during vq processing. In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space. The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.

2016-03-02vhost: rename cross-endian helpersGreg Kurz1-6/+24
The default use case for vhost is when the host and the vring have the same endianness (default native endianness). But there are cases where they differ and vhost should byteswap when accessing the vring. The first case is when the host is big endian and the vring belongs to a virtio 1.0 device, which is always little endian. This is covered by the vq->is_le field. This field is initialized when userspace calls the VHOST_SET_FEATURES ioctl. It is reset when the device stops. We already have a vhost_init_is_le() helper, but the reset operation is opencoded as follows: vq->is_le = virtio_legacy_is_little_endian(); It isn't clear that we are resetting vq->is_le here. This patch moves the code to a helper with a more explicit name. The other case where we may have to byteswap is when the architecture can switch endianness at runtime (bi-endian). If endianness differs in the host and in the guest, then legacy devices need to be used in cross-endian mode. This mode is available with CONFIG_VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY=y, which introduces a vq->user_be field. Userspace may enable cross-endian mode by calling the SET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctl before the device is started. The cross-endian mode is disabled when the device is stopped. The current names of the helpers that manipulate vq->user_be are unclear. This patch renames those helpers to clearly show that this is cross-endian stuff and with explicit enable/disable semantics.

The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we revert to the native endian default. If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy device. It has no effect on modern devices.

2014-12-29vhost: relax used address alignmentMichael S. Tsirkin1-3/+7
virtio 1.0 only requires used address to be 4 byte aligned, vhost required 8 bytes (size of vring_used_elem). Fix up vhost to match that. Additionally, while vhost correctly requires 8 byte alignment for log, it's unconnected to used ring: it's a consequence that log has u64 entries. Tweak code to make that clearer.

2014-12-09vhost: switch to __get/__put_user exclusivelyMichael S. Tsirkin1-3/+10
Most places in vhost can use __get/__put_user rather than get/put_user since addresses are pre-validated. This should be good for performance, but this also will help make code sparse-clean: get/put_user macros don't play well with __virtioXX bitwise tags. Switch to get/put_user to __ variants everywhere in vhost. There's one exception - for consistency switch that as well, and add an explicit access_ok check. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2014-06-09vhost: move memory pointer to VQsMichael S. Tsirkin1-32/+25
commit 2ae76693b8bcabf370b981cd00c36cd41d33fabc vhost: replace rcu with mutex replaced rcu sync for memory accesses with VQ mutex locl/unlock. This is correct since all accesses are under VQ mutex, but incomplete: we still do useless rcu lock/unlock operations, someone might copy this code into some other context where this won't be right. This use of RCU is also non standard and hard to understand. Let's copy the pointer to each VQ structure, this way the access rules become straight-forward, and there's no need for RCU anymore.

2014-06-09vhost: replace rcu with mutexMichael S. Tsirkin1-1/+9
All memory accesses are done under some VQ mutex. So lock/unlock all VQs is a faster equivalent of synchronize_rcu() for memory access changes. Some guests cause a lot of these changes, so it's helpful to make them faster. Reported-by: "Gonglei (Arei)" <arei.gonglei@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
