      slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot · 7e85ee0c
      Pekka Enberg 提交于
      As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
      
        Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
        a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
        grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
        even then you'll be missing some.
      
        For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
        early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
        mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
        using that to do the test.
      
      Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
      in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

      lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receive · 4a8962e2
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
      interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
      is full).
      
      However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
      measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
      TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds.  It's close to the noise though.
      
      I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
      pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
      Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

      lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs. · 95c517c0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
      need to interrupt the Guest.  This happens as a side effect of
      spurious notifications.
      
      Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
      Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
      meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.
      
      A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
      flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
      interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
      save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

      lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example Launcher · 38bc2b8c
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
      when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one.  The console
      input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
      network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
      interrupts to the Guest at the right time.
      
      The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.
      
      In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
      (1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
      (2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

      lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threads · 659a0e66
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
      thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
      was simply too painful to bear).
      
      The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
      devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
      into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
      repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
      release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.
      
      Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
      would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
      signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
      which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
      device again.
      
      Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
      a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
      interrupts in the Guest directly.
      
      The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it

      Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
      an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
      out what device to run.
      
      A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we

      lguest: allow any process to send interrupts · 9f155a9b
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
      as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
      extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.
      
      As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
      main Launcher process.

      lguest: PAE fixes · 92b4d8df
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      1) j wasn't initialized in setup_pagetables, so they weren't set up for me
         causing immediate guest crashes.
      
      2) gpte_addr should not re-read the pmd from the Guest.  Especially
         not BUG_ON() based on the value.  If we ever supported SMP guests,
         they could trigger that.  And the Launcher could also trigger it
         (tho currently root-only).
