include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control memory access ordering. Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use) (compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64). We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead. Signed-off-by: NMichael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller invokes two virtio methods in parallel. The barriers attempt to ensure timely update of the ->in_use flag. But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to detect it. Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more chance of hiding real problems. Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code... CC: Michael S.

Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors. The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those requests. This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host immediately. Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are outgoing parts of the new buffer.

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization). There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the ring is completely full. It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise has to use a timer to poll. We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable anyway). Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the disable_cb in skb_recv_done. static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq) { struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv; /* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */ if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) { rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq); __netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi); } } That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG. The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops could come from?

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this. Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

In that case, the interrupt is only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send interrupts. But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt routine. Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest). So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
