virtio-mem: Fix build error due to improper use 'select'

2020-07-30T15:28:17+00:00

As noted in: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt "select should be used with care. select will force a symbol to a value without visiting the dependencies." Config VIRTIO_MEM should not select CONTIG_ALLOC directly. Otherwise it will cause an error: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208245 Signed-off-by: Weilong Chen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200619080333.194753-1-chenweilong@huawei.com Acked-by: Randy Dunlap # build-tested Signed-off-by: Michael S.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2

2020-06-04T19:36:52+00:00

We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later. When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor. We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range(). It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged. We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to make unplug more likely to succeed. Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched. As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from kernel module context, export the symbols. Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotplug

2020-06-04T19:36:52+00:00

Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request. When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part. On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB ("subblock") granularity. When required, a new memory block will be added (e.g., usually 128MB on x86-64) in order to plug more subblocks. Only x86-64 was tested for now. The online_page callback is used to keep unplugged subblocks offline when onlining memory - similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. Unplugged pages are marked PG_offline, to tell dump tools (e.g., makedumpfile) to skip them. User space is usually responsible for onlining the added memory. The memory hotplug notifier is used to synchronize virtio-mem activity against memory onlining/offlining. Each virtio-mem device can belong to a NUMA node, which allows us to easily add/remove small chunks of memory to/from a specific NUMA node by using multiple virtio-mem devices. Something that works even when the guest has no idea about the NUMA topology. One way to view virtio-mem is as a "resizable DIMM" or a DIMM with many "sub-DIMMS". This patch directly introduces the basic infrastructure to implement memory unplug. Especially the memory block states and subblock bitmaps will be heavily used there. Notes: - In case memory is to be onlined by user space, we limit the amount of offline memory blocks, to not run out of memory. This is esp. an issue if memory is added faster than it is getting onlined. - Suspend/Hibernate is not supported due to the way virtio-mem devices behave. Limited support might be possible in the future. - Reloading the device driver is not supported. Reviewed-by: Pankaj Gupta Tested-by: Pankaj Gupta Cc: "Michael S.

vdpa: make vhost, virtio depend on menu

2020-04-17T10:05:30+00:00

If user did not configure any vdpa drivers, neither vhost nor virtio vdpa are going to be useful. So there's no point in prompting for these and selecting vdpa core automatically. Simplify configuration by making virtio and vhost vdpa drivers depend on vdpa menu entry. Once done, we no longer need a separate menu entry, so also get rid of this. While at it, fix up the IFC entry: VDPA->vDPA for consistency with other places. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Jason Wang

virtio-balloon: add support for providing free page reports to host

2020-04-07T17:43:39+00:00

Add support for the page reporting feature provided by virtio-balloon. Reporting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system. Unlike a standard balloon we don't inflate and deflate the pages. Instead we perform the reporting, and once the reporting is completed it is assumed that the page has been dropped from the guest and will be faulted back in the next time the page is accessed.

virtio: introduce a vDPA based transport

2020-04-01T16:06:26+00:00

This patch introduces a vDPA transport for virtio. This is used to use kernel virtio driver to drive the vDPA device that is capable of populating virtqueue directly. A new virtio-vdpa driver will be registered to the vDPA bus, when a new virtio-vdpa device is probed, it will register the device with vdpa based config ops. This means it is a software transport between vDPA driver and vDPA device. The transport was implemented through bus_ops of vDPA parent.

vDPA: introduce vDPA bus

2020-04-01T16:06:26+00:00

vDPA device is a device that uses a datapath which complies with the virtio specifications with vendor specific control path. vDPA devices can be both physically located on the hardware or emulated by software. vDPA hardware devices are usually implemented through PCIE with the following types: - PF (Physical Function) - A single Physical Function - VF (Virtual Function) - Device that supports single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). Its Virtual Function (VF) represents a virtualized instance of the device that can be assigned to different partitions - ADI (Assignable Device Interface) and its equivalents - With technologies such as Intel Scalable IOV, a virtual device (VDEV) composed by host OS utilizing one or more ADIs. Or its equivalent like SF (Sub function) from Mellanox. >From a driver's perspective, depends on how and where the DMA translation is done, vDPA devices are split into two types: - Platform specific DMA translation - From the driver's perspective, the device can be used on a platform where device access to data in memory is limited and/or translated. An example is a PCIE vDPA whose DMA request was tagged via a bus (e.g PCIE) specific way. DMA translation and protection are done at PCIE bus IOMMU level. - Device specific DMA translation - The device implements DMA isolation and protection through its own logic. An example is a vDPA device which uses on-chip IOMMU. To hide the differences and complexity of the above types for a vDPA device/IOMMU options and in order to present a generic virtio device to the upper layer, a device agnostic framework is required. This patch introduces a software vDPA bus which abstracts the common attributes of vDPA device, vDPA bus driver and the communication method (vdpa_config_ops) between the vDPA device abstraction and the vDPA bus driver. This allows multiple types of drivers to be used for vDPA device like the virtio_vdpa and vhost_vdpa driver to operate on the bus and allow vDPA device could be used by either kernel virtio driver or userspace vhost drivers as: virtio drivers vhost drivers | | [virtio bus] [vhost uAPI] | | virtio device vhost device virtio_vdpa drv vhost_vdpa drv \ / [vDPA bus] | vDPA device hardware drv | [hardware bus] | vDPA hardware With the abstraction of vDPA bus and vDPA bus operations, the difference and complexity of the under layer hardware is hidden from upper layer. The vDPA bus drivers on top can use a unified vdpa_config_ops to control different types of vDPA device.
