2017-01-26tools/virtio/ringtest: fix run-on-all.sh for offline cpusHalil Pasic1-2/+3
commit 21f5eda9b8671744539c8295b9df62991fffb2ce upstream. Since ef1b144d ("tools/virtio/ringtest: fix run-on-all.sh to work without /dev/cpu") run-on-all.sh uses seq 0 $HOST_AFFINITY as the list of ids of the CPUs to run the command on (assuming ids of online CPUs are consecutive and start from 0), where $HOST_AFFINITY is the highest CPU id in the system previously determined using lscpu. This can fail on systems with offline CPUs. Instead let's use lscpu to determine the list of online CPUs.

2017-01-15tools/virtio: fix READ_ONCE()Mark Rutland1-1/+1
commit 5da889c795b1fbefc9d8f058b54717ab8ab17891 upstream. The virtio tools implementation of READ_ONCE() has a single parameter called 'var', but erroneously refers to 'val' for its cast, and thus won't work unless there's a variable of the correct type that happens to be called 'var'. Fix this with s/var/val/, making READ_ONCE() work as expected regardless.

2016-10-31ringtest: poll for new buffers once before updating event indexPaolo Bonzini1-2/+2
Updating the event index has a memory barrier and causes more work on the other side to actually signal the event. It is unnecessary if a new buffer has already appeared on the ring, so poll once before doing the update. The effect of this on the 0.9 ring implementation is pretty much invisible, but on the new-style ring it provides a consistent 3% performance improvement.

2016-03-02virtio_ring: Support DMA APIsAndy Lutomirski1-0/+17
virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor) physical addresses of its I/O buffers. This is okay when DMA addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't always the case. For example, this never works on Xen guests, and it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up behind an IOMMU or swiotlb. The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests. For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another driver.
