* vhost: new device IOTLB APIJason Wang2016-08-021-1/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* vhost: convert pre sorted vhost memory array to interval treeJason Wang2016-08-021-4/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future device IOTLB conversion: 1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation. 2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect several regions with different size. 3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU To overcome the above shortcomings, this patch convert it to interval tree which can easily address the above issue with almost no extra work. The patch could be used for: - Extend the current API and only let the userspace to send diffs of memory table. - Simplify Device IOTLB implementation.

* vhost: rename vhost_init_used()Greg Kurz2016-03-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Looking at how callers use this, maybe we should just rename init_used to vhost_vq_init_access. The _used suffix was a hint that we access the vq used ring. But maybe what callers care about is that it must be called after access_ok. Also, this function manipulates the vq->is_le field which isn't related to the vq used ring. This patch simply renames vhost_init_used() to vhost_vq_init_access() as suggested by Michael. No behaviour change. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

* vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devicesGreg Kurz2015-06-011-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set by default). 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.

* virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessorsGreg Kurz2015-06-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current memory accessors logic is: - little endian if little_endian - native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be able to convert to big endian. Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this patch changes the logic to: - little endian if little_endian - big endian if !little_endian The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* vhost: replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthreadTejun Heo2010-07-281-13/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread. Other than callback argument change from struct work_struct * to struct vhost_work *, there's no visible change to vhost_poll_*() interface. This conversion is to make each vhost use a dedicated kthread so that resource control via cgroup can be applied. Partially based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch. * Updated to use sub structure vhost_work instead of directly using vhost_poll at Michael's suggestion. * Added flusher wake_up() optimization at Michael's suggestion. Changes by MST: * Converted atomics/barrier use to a spinlock. * Create thread on SET_OWNER * Fix flushing Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
