* aio: Introduce aio-epoll.cFam Zheng2015-11-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To minimize code duplication, epoll is hooked into aio-posix's aio_poll() instead of rolling its own. This approach also has both compile-time and run-time switchability. 1) When QEMU starts with a small number of fds in the event loop, ppoll is used. 2) When QEMU starts with a big number of fds, or when more devices are hot plugged, epoll kicks in when the number of fds hits the threshold. 3) Some fds may not support epoll, such as tty based stdio. In this case, it falls back to ppoll. A rough benchmark with scsi-disk on virtio-scsi dataplane (epoll gets enabled from 64 onward). Numbers are in MB/s. =============================================== | master | epoll | | scsi disks # | read randrw | read randrw -------------|----------------|---------------- 1 | 86 36 | 92 45 8 | 87 43 | 86 41 64 | 71 32 | 70 38 128 | 48 24 | 58 31 256 | 37 19 | 57 28 =============================================== To comply with aio_{disable,enable}_external, we always use ppoll when aio_external_disabled() is true.

* AioContext: force event loop iteration using BHStefan Hajnoczi2015-07-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The notify_me optimization introduced in commit eabc97797310 ("AioContext: fix broken ctx->dispatching optimization") skips event_notifier_set() calls when the event loop thread is not blocked in ppoll(2). This optimization causes a deadlock if two aio_context_acquire() calls race. notify_me = 0 during the race so the winning thread can enter ppoll(2) unaware that the other thread is waiting its turn to acquire the AioContext. This patch forces ppoll(2) to return by scheduling a BH instead of calling aio_notify(). The following deadlock with virtio-blk dataplane is fixed: qemu ... -object iothread,id=iothread0 \ -drive if=none,id=drive0,file=test.img,... \ -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread0,drive=drive0 This command-line results in a hang early on without this patch.

* AioContext: optimize clearing the EventNotifierPaolo Bonzini2015-07-221-1/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is pretty rare for aio_notify to actually set the EventNotifier. It can happen with worker threads such as thread-pool.c's, but otherwise it should never be set thanks to the ctx->notify_me optimization. The previous patch, unfortunately, added an unconditional call to event_notifier_test_and_clear; now add a userspace fast path that avoids the call. Note that it is not possible to do the same with event_notifier_set; it would break, as proved (again) by the included formal model. This patch survived over 3000 reboots on aarch64 KVM.

* AioContext: fix broken ctx->dispatching optimizationPaolo Bonzini2015-07-221-6/+23

The hangs were indirectly caused by aio_poll() and in particular by flash memory updates's call to blk_write(), which invokes aio_poll(). Fun stuff: they had an extremely short race window, so much that adding all kind of tracing to either the kernel or QEMU made it go away (a single printf made it half as reproducible). On the plus side, the failure mode (a hang until the next keypress) made it very easy to examine the state of the process with a debugger. And there was a very nice reproducer from Laszlo, which failed pretty often (more than half of the time) on any version of QEMU with a non-debug kernel; it also failed fast, while still in the firmware. So, it could have been worse. For some unknown reason they happened only with virtio-scsi, but that's not important. It's more interesting that they disappeared with io=native, making thread-pool.c a likely suspect for where the bug arose. thread-pool.c is also one of the few places which use bottom halves across threads, by the way. I hope that no other similar bugs exist, but just in case :) I am going to describe how the successful debugging went... Since the likely culprit was the ctx->dispatching optimization, which mostly affects bottom halves, the first observation was that there are two qemu_bh_schedule() invocations in the thread pool: the one in the aio worker and the one in thread_pool_completion_bh. The latter always causes the optimization to trigger, the former may or may not. In order to restrict the possibilities, I introduced new functions qemu_bh_schedule_slow() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast(): /* qemu_bh_schedule_slow: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; if (atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1) == 0) { event_notifier_set(&ctx->notifier); } /* qemu_bh_schedule_fast: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; assert(ctx->dispatching); atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1); Notice how the atomic_xchg is still in qemu_bh_schedule_slow(). This was already debated a few months ago, so I assumed it to be correct. In retrospect this was a very good idea, as you'll see later. Changing thread_pool_completion_bh() to qemu_bh_schedule_fast() didn't trigger the assertion (as expected). Changing the worker's invocation to qemu_bh_schedule_slow() didn't hide the bug (another assumption which luckily held). This already limited heavily the amount of interaction between the threads, hinting that the problematic events must have triggered around thread_pool_completion_bh(). As mentioned early, invoking a debugger to examine the state of a hung process was pretty easy; the iothread was always waiting on a poll(..., -1) system call. Infinite timeouts are much rarer on x86, and this could be the reason why the bug was never observed there. With the buggy sequence more or less resolved to an interaction between thread_pool_completion_bh() and poll(..., -1), my "tracing" strategy was to just add a few qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME) calls, hoping that the ordering of aio_ctx_prepare(), aio_ctx_dispatch, poll() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast() would provide some hint. The output was: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 103885451 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 103876492 (gdb) p last_poll $5 = 115909333 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 115925212 Notice how the last call to qemu_poll_ns() came after aio_ctx_dispatch(). This makes little sense unless there is an aio_poll() call involved, and indeed with a slightly different instrumentation you can see that there is one: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 107569679 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 107561600 (gdb) p last_aio_poll $5 = 110671400 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 110698917 So the scenario becomes clearer: iothread VCPU thread -------------------------------------------------------------------------- aio_ctx_prepare aio_ctx_check qemu_poll_ns(timeout=-1) aio_poll aio_dispatch thread_pool_completion_bh qemu_bh_schedule() At this point bh->scheduled = 1 and the iothread has not been woken up. The solution must be close, but this alone should not be a problem, because the bottom half is only rescheduled to account for rare situations (see commit 3c80ca1, thread-pool: avoid deadlock in nested aio_poll() calls, 2014-07-15). Introducing a third thread---a thread pool worker thread, which also does qemu_bh_schedule()---does bring out the problematic case. The third thread must be awakened *after* the callback is complete and thread_pool_completion_bh has redone the whole loop, explaining the short race window. And then this is what happens: thread pool worker -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <I/O completes> qemu_bh_schedule() Tada, bh->scheduled is already 1, so qemu_bh_schedule() does nothing and the iothread is never woken up. This is where the bh->scheduled optimization comes into play---it is correct, but removing it would have masked the bug. So, what is the bug? Well, the question asked by the ctx->dispatching optimization ("is any active aio_poll dispatching?") was wrong. The right question to ask instead is "is any active aio_poll *not* dispatching", i.e. in the prepare or poll phases? In that case, the aio_poll is sleeping or might go to sleep anytime soon, and the EventNotifier must be invoked to wake it up. In any other case (including if there is *no* active aio_poll at all!) we can just wait for the next prepare phase to pick up the event (e.g. a bottom half); the prepare phase will avoid the blocking and service the bottom half. Expressing the invariant with a logic formula, the broken one looked like: !(exists(thread): in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: !(exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize In the correct one, the negation is in a slightly different place: (exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && !in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: (exists(thread): in_prepare_or_poll(thread)) => !optimize Even if the difference boils down to moving an exclamation mark :) the implementation is quite different. However, I think the new one is simpler to understand. In the old implementation, the "exists" was implemented with a boolean value. This didn't really support well the case of multiple concurrent event loops, but I thought that this was okay: aio_poll holds the AioContext lock so there cannot be concurrent aio_poll invocations, and I was just considering nested event loops. However, aio_poll _could_ indeed be concurrent with the GSource. This is why I came up with the wrong invariant. In the new implementation, "exists" is computed simply by counting how many threads are in the prepare or poll phases. There are some interesting points to consider, but the gist of the idea remains: 1) AioContext can be used through GSource as well; as mentioned in the patch, bit 0 of the counter is reserved for the GSource. 2) the counter need not be updated for a non-blocking aio_poll, because it won't sleep forever anyway. This is just a matter of checking the "blocking" variable. This requires some changes to the win32 implementation, but is otherwise not too complicated. 3) as mentioned above, the new implementation will not call aio_notify when there is *no* active aio_poll at all. The tests have to be adjusted for this change. The calls to aio_notify in async.c are fine; they only want to kick aio_poll out of a blocking wait, but need not do anything if aio_poll is not running. 4) nested aio_poll: these just work with the new implementation; when a nested event loop is invoked, the outer event loop is never in the prepare or poll phases. The outer event loop thus has already decremented the counter. Reported-by: Richard W. M.

* AioContext: export and use aio_dispatchPaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, aio_poll's scheme was dispatch/poll/dispatch, where the first dispatch phase was used only in the GSource case in order to avoid a blocking poll. Earlier patches changed it to dispatch/prepare/poll/dispatch, where prepare is aio_compute_timeout. By making aio_dispatch public, we can remove the first dispatch phase altogether, so that both aio_poll and the GSource use the same prepare/poll/dispatch scheme. This patch breaks the invariant that aio_poll(..., true) will not block the first time it returns false. This used to be fundamental for qemu_aio_flush's implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}" but no code in QEMU relies on this invariant anymore.

* AioContext: take bottom halves into account when computing aio_poll timeoutPaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, QEMU invokes aio_bh_poll before the "poll" phase of aio_poll. It is simpler to do it afterwards and skip the "poll" phase altogether when the OS-dependent parts of AioContext are invoked from GSource. This way, AioContext behaves more similarly when used as a GSource vs. when used as stand-alone. As a start, take bottom halves into account when computing the poll timeout. If a bottom half is ready, do a non-blocking poll. As a side effect, this makes idle bottom halves work with aio_poll; an improvement, but not really an important one since they are deprecated.

* AioContext: do not rely on aio_poll(ctx, true) result to end a loopPaolo Bonzini2014-07-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true) will not block. This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently; and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration. All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however: - we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll, similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait - it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext is released between an aio_notify and the next time the iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping the dataplane thread. In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c, which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.

* AioContext: speed up aio_notifyPaolo Bonzini2014-07-091-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many cases, the call to event_notifier_set in aio_notify is unnecessary. In particular, if we are executing aio_dispatch, or if aio_poll is not blocking, we know that we will soon get to the next loop iteration (if necessary); the thread that hosts the AioContext's event loop does not need any nudging. The patch includes a Promela formal model that shows that this really works and does not need any further complication such as generation counts. It needs a memory barrier though. The generation counts are not needed because any change to ctx->dispatching after the memory barrier is okay for aio_notify. If it changes from zero to one, it is the right thing to skip event_notifier_set. If it changes from one to zero, the event_notifier_set is unnecessary but harmless.

Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

| | | | | | | | | Add a QEMUTimerListGroup each AioContext (meaning a QEMUTimerList associated with each clock is added) and delete it when the AioContext is freed. Signed-off-by: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
* aio / timers: Untangle include filesAlex Bligh2013-08-221-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | include/qemu/timer.h has no need to include main-loop.h and doing so causes an issue for the next patch. Unfortunately various files assume including timers.h will pull in main-loop.h. Untangle this mess. Signed-off-by: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
* aio: drop io_flush argumentStefan Hajnoczi2013-08-191-12/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The .io_flush() handler no longer exists and has no users. Drop the io_flush argument to aio_set_fd_handler() and related functions. The AioFlushEventNotifierHandler and AioFlushHandler typedefs are no longer used and are dropped too.

* QEMUBH: make AioContext's bh re-entrantLiu Ping Fan2013-07-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | BH will be used outside big lock, so introduce lock to protect between the writers, ie, bh's adders and deleter. The lock only affects the writers and bh's callback does not take this extra lock. Note that for the same AioContext, aio_bh_poll() can not run in parallel yet.

* aio: add a ThreadPool instance to AioContextStefan Hajnoczi2013-03-151-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a ThreadPool to AioContext. It's possible that some AioContext instances will never use the ThreadPool, so defer creation until aio_get_thread_pool(). The reason why AioContext should have the ThreadPool is because the ThreadPool is bound to a AioContext instance where the work item's callback function is invoked. It doesn't make sense to keep the ThreadPool pointer anywhere other than AioContext. For example, block/raw-posix.c can get its AioContext's ThreadPool and submit work. Special note about headers: I used struct ThreadPool in aio.h because there is a circular dependency if aio.h includes thread-pool.h.

* aio: convert aio_poll() to g_poll(3)Stefan Hajnoczi2013-02-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AioHandler already has a GPollFD so we can directly use its events/revents. Add the int pollfds_idx field to AioContext so we can map g_poll(3) results back to AioHandlers. Reuse aio_dispatch() to invoke handlers after g_poll(3).

* aio: Fix return value of aio_poll()Kevin Wolf2013-01-171-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed and the function didn't really drain all requests. In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so this change shouldn't cause any trouble.
