      drivers: xen-blkfront: only talk_to_blkback() when in XenbusStateInitialising · a9b54bb9
      Bob Liu 提交于
      Patch 69b91ede
      "drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to connect_ring"
      exposed an problem that Xen blkfront has. There is a race
      with XenStored and the drivers such that we can see two:
      
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 4.
      
      state changes to XenbusStateInitWait ('2'). The end result is that
      blkback_changed() receives two notify and calls twice setup_blkring().
      
      While the backend driver may only get the first setup_blkring() which is
      wrong and reads out-dated (or reads them as they are being updated
      with new ring-ref values).
      
      The end result is that the ring ends up being incorrectly set.
      
      The other drivers in the tree have such checks already in.

      xen/block: add multi-page ring support · 86839c56
      Bob Liu 提交于
      Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be
      issued by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront
      and backend.
      As a result, the performance can get improved significantly.
      
      We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster
      backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times
      for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing.
      
      The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page
      ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical
      drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy.
      
      Changes in v2:
       - Rebased to 4.0-rc6.
       - Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h.
      
      Changes in v3:
       - Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined
         in io/blkif.h of XEN tree.
       - Rebased to 4.1-rc3
      
      Changes in v4:
       - Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'.
       - A few comments from Roger.
      
      Changes in v5:

      driver: xen-blkfront: move talk_to_blkback to a more suitable place · 8ab0144a
      Bob Liu 提交于
      The major responsibility of talk_to_blkback() is allocate and initialize
      the request ring and write the ring info to xenstore.
      But this work should be done after backend entered 'XenbusStateInitWait' as
      defined in the protocol file.

      xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discard · 1c8cad6c
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      In its initial implementation a check for "type" was added, but only phy
      and file are handled. This breaks advertised discard support for other
      type values such as qdisk.
      
      Fix and simplify this function: If the backend advertises discard
      support it is supposed to implement it properly, so enable
      feature_discard unconditionally. If the backend advertises the need for
      a certain granularity and alignment then propagate both properties to
      the blocklayer. The discard-secure property is a boolean, update the code
      to reflect that.

      block: remove struct request buffer member · b4f42e28
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
      yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
      transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
      most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
      pointing at anything valid.
      
      Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
      
      For the discard payload use case, just reference the page

      xen/pvhvm: If xen_platform_pci=0 is set don't blow up (v4). · 51c71a3b

      00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)
      
      which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
      and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
      to disable that they can set:

      which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
      PV driver check for:
       - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
         native environment).
       - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
         in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
       - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
         does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
         then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
         Ditto for the network one ('nics').
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
         then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
         In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.

      xen/blkback: Use physical sector size for setup · 7c4d7d71
      Stefan Bader 提交于
      Currently xen-blkback passes the logical sector size over xenbus and
      xen-blkfront sets up the paravirt disk with that logical block size.
      But newer drives usually have the logical sector size set to 512 for
      compatibility reasons and would show the actual sector size only in
      physical sector size.
      This results in the device being partitioned and accessed in dom0 with
      the correct sector size, but the guest thinks 512 bytes is the correct
      block size. And that results in poor performance.
      
      To fix this, blkback gets modified to pass also physical-sector-size
      over xenbus and blkfront to use both values to set up the paravirt
      disk. I did not just change the passed in sector-size because I am
      not sure having a bigger logical sector size than the physical one
      is valid (and that would happen if a newer dom0 kernel hits an older
      domU kernel). Also this way a domU set up before should still be
      accessible (just some tools might detect the unaligned setup).

      xen-block: implement indirect descriptors · 402b27f9
      Roger Pau Monne 提交于
      Indirect descriptors introduce a new block operation
      (BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT) that passes grant references instead of segments
      in the request. This grant references are filled with arrays of
      blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a
      request.
      
      The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs
      (frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the
      backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been
      chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane
      value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors
      in the frontend if needed.
      
      The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in
      which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the
      maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending
      on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and
      in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the
      new maximum number of segments.
      
      [v2: Fixed minor comments by Konrad.
      [v1: Added padding to make the indirect request 64bit aligned.
       Added some BUGs, comments; fixed number of indirect pages in
       blkif_get_x86_{32/64}_req. Added description about the indirect operation

      xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe · f84adf49
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      Replace llist_for_each_entry_safe with a while loop.
      
      llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
      to remove it and use a while loop and do the deletion manually.
      
      Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk, either
      by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.
      
      BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
      IP: [<ffffffffa0047223>] blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]
      The crash call trace is:
      	...

      do_page_fault+0x25e/0x4b0

      do_suspend+0x117/0x1e0
      
      When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does
      .L29:
              cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
              je      .L30    	#, out of the loop
      .L25:
      	... code in the loop
              testq   %r13, %r13      # n
              je      .L29    	#, back to the top of the loop
              cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
              movq    16(%r12), %r13  # <variable>.node.next, n
              jne     .L25    	#,	back to the top of the loop
      .L30:
      
      While on GCC 4.1, it is:
      L78:
      	... code in the loop
      	testq   %r13, %r13      # n
              je      .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop
              movq    16(%rbx), %r13  # <variable>.node.next, n
              jmp     .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop
      
      Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
      being:
      
      	&(pos)->member != NULL;
      
      is:
      	;
      
      which makes the loop unbound.
      
      Since xen-blkfront is the only user of the llist_for_each_entry_safe
      macro remove it from llist.h.

      xen/blkback: persistent-grants fixes · cb5bd4d1
      Roger Pau Monne 提交于
      This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2:
      
       * handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback
         setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported
         by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
      
       * new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0.
         Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
      
       * blkfront announces the persistent-grants feature as
         feature-persistent-grants, use feature-persistent instead which is
         consistent with blkback and the public Xen headers.
      
       * Add a consistency check in blkfront to make sure we don't try to
         access segments that have not been set.
