2013-07-07vhost: Make vhost a separate moduleAsias He1-1/+50
Currently, vhost-net and vhost-scsi are sharing the vhost core code. However, vhost-scsi shares the code by including the vhost.c file directly. Making vhost a separate module makes it is easier to share code with other vhost devices. Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2013-05-01vhost: fix error handling in RESET_OWNER ioctlMichael S. Tsirkin1-9/+7

2013-05-01vhost: move vhost-net zerocopy fields to net.cAsias He1-56/+1

2013-05-01vhost: Allow device specific fields per vqAsias He1-44/+44
This is useful for any device who wants device specific fields per vq. For example, tcm_vhost wants a per vq field to track requests which are in flight on the vq. Also, on top of this we can add patches to move things like ubufs from vhost.h out to net.c. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2013-04-12vhost_net: remove tx polling stateJason Wang1-0/+3
After commit 2b8b328b61c799957a456a5a8dab8cc7dea68575 (vhost_net: handle polling errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler. This patch also removes the all tx starting/stopping code in tx path according to Michael's suggestion. Netperf test shows almost the same result in stream test, but gets improvements on TCP_RR tests (both zerocopy or copy) especially on low load cases. Tested between multiqueue kvm guest and external host with two direct connected 82599s. zerocopy disabled: sessions|transaction rates|normalize| before/after/+improvements 1 | 9510.24/11727.29/+23.3% | 693.54/887.68/+28.0% | 25| 192931.50/241729.87/+25.3% | 2376.80/2771.70/+16.6% | 50| 277634.64/291905.76/+5% | 3118.36/3230.11/+3.6% | zerocopy enabled: sessions|transaction rates|normalize| before/after/+improvements 1 | 7318.33/11929.76/+63.0% | 521.86/843.30/+61.6% | 25| 167264.88/242422.15/+44.9% | 2181.60/2788.16/+27.8% | 50| 272181.02/294347.04/+8.1% | 3071.56/3257.85/+6.1% | Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

2013-01-30vhost_net: handle polling errors when setting backendJason Wang1-3/+15
Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues: - vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll, this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to add itself to the waitqueue - userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling failed. Solve this by: - check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue - report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it will addressed by the next patch.

2012-12-06vhost: avoid backend flush on vring opsMichael S. Tsirkin1-4/+3
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.

2012-11-03skb: report completion status for zero copy skbsMichael S. Tsirkin1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-22vhost: make vhost work queue visibleStefan Hajnoczi1-3/+2
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.

2012-02-28vhost: don't forget to schedule()Nadav Har'El1-0/+2
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.

2011-07-18vhost: vhost TX zero-copy supportMichael S. Tsirkin1-15/+113
>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.
