Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and backend. The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also included. Affected Xen drivers: * blkfront/back * netfront/back * pcifront/back * scsifront/back * vtpmfront The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

xen-netfront limits transmitted skbs to be at most 44 segments in size. However, GSO permits up to 65536 bytes, which means a maximum of 45 segments of 1448 bytes each. This slight reduction in the size of packets means a slight loss in efficiency. Since c/s 9ecd1a75, xen-netfront sets gso_max_size to XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER, where XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE is 65535 bytes. The calculation used by tcp_tso_autosize (and also tcp_xmit_size_goal since c/s 6c09fa09) in determining when to split an skb into two is sk->sk_gso_max_size - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER. So the maximum permitted size of an skb is calculated to be (XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER) - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER. Intuitively, this looks like the wrong formula -- we don't need two TCP headers. Instead, there is no need to deviate from the default gso_max_size of 65536 as this already accommodates the size of the header. Currently, the largest skb transmitted by netfront is 63712 bytes (44 segments of 1448 bytes each), as observed via tcpdump. This patch makes netfront send skbs of up to 65160 bytes (45 segments of 1448 bytes each). Similarly, the maximum allowable mtu does not need to subtract MAX_TCP_HEADER as it relates to the size of the whole packet, including the header.

After d75b1ade (net: less interrupt masking in NAPI) the napi instance is removed from the per-cpu list prior to calling the n->poll(), and is only requeued if all of the budget was used. This inadvertently broke netfront because netfront does not use NAPI correctly. If netfront had not used all of its budget it would do a final check for any Rx responses and avoid calling napi_complete() if there were more responses. It would still return under budget so it would never be rescheduled. The final check would also not re-enable the Rx interrupt. Additionally, xenvif_poll() would also call napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was running on a different CPU. Fix both of these by always calling napi_compete() if the budget was not all used, and then calling napi_schedule() if the final checks says there's more work.

A full Rx ring only requires 1 MiB of memory. This is not enough memory that it is useful to dynamically scale the number of Rx requests in the ring based on traffic rates, because: a) Even the full 1 MiB is a tiny fraction of a typically modern Linux VM (for example, the AWS micro instance still has 1 GiB of memory). b) Netfront would have used up to 1 MiB already even with moderate data rates (there was no adjustment of target based on memory pressure). c) Small VMs are going to typically have one VCPU and hence only one queue. Keeping the ring full of Rx requests handles bursty traffic better than trying to converge on an optimal number of requests to keep filled. On a 4 core host, an iperf -P 64 -t 60 run from dom0 to a 4 VCPU guest improved from 5.1 Gbit/s to 5.6 Gbit/s. Gains with more bursty traffic are expected to be higher.

There is a long known problem with the netfront/netback interface: if the guest tries to send a packet which constitues more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 ring slots, it gets dropped. The reason is that netback maps these slots to a frag in the frags array, which is limited by size. Having so many slots can occur since compound pages were introduced, as the ring protocol slice them up into individual (non-compound) page aligned slots. The theoretical worst case scenario looks like this (note, skbs are limited to 64 Kb here): linear buffer: at most PAGE_SIZE - 17 * 2 bytes, overlapping page boundary, using 2 slots first 15 frags: 1 + PAGE_SIZE + 1 bytes long, first and last bytes are at the end and the beginning of a page, therefore they use 3 * 15 = 45 slots last 2 frags: 1 + 1 bytes, overlapping page boundary, 2 * 2 = 4 slots Although I don't think this 51 slots skb can really happen, we need a solution which can deal with every scenario. In real life there is only a few slots overdue, but usually it causes the TCP stream to be blocked, as the retry will most likely have the same buffer layout. This patch solves this problem by linearizing the packet. This is not the fastest way, and it can fail much easier as it tries to allocate a big linear area for the whole packet, but probably easier by an order of magnitude than anything else. Probably this code path is not touched very frequently anyway.

Since netfront may reconnect to a backend with a different number of queues, all per-queue Rx and Tx resources (skbs and grant references) should be freed when disconnecting. Without this fix, the Tx and Rx grant refs are not released and netfront will exhaust them after only a few reconnections. netfront will fail to connect when no free grant references are available. Since all Rx bufs are freed and reallocated instead of reused this will add some additional delay to the reconnection but this is expected to be small compared to the time taken by any backend hotplug scripts etc. Signed-off-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

In xennet_disconnect_backend(), netif_carrier_off() was called once per queue when it needs to only be called once. The queue locking around the netif_carrier_off() call looked very odd. I think they were supposed to synchronize any NAPI instances with the expectation that no further NAPI instances would be scheduled because of the carrier being off (see the check in xennet_rx_interrupt()). But I can't easily tell if this works correctly. Instead, add a napi_synchronize() call after disabling the interrupts. This is obviously correct as with no Rx interrupts, no further NAPI instances will be scheduled. Signed-off-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The nesting of the per-queue rx_lock and tx_lock in xennet_connect() is confusing to both humans and lockdep. The locking is safe because this is the only place where the locks are nested in this way but lockdep still warns.

This is still safe, because the xenbus connection state changes are all serialized by the xenwatch thread.

When reconnecting to the backend (after a resume/migration, for example), a different number of queues may be required (since the guest may have moved to a different host with different capabilities). During the reconnection the old queues are torn down and new ones created. Introduce xennet_create_queues() and xennet_destroy_queues() that fixes three bugs during the reconnection. - The old info->queues was leaked. - The old queue's napi instances were not deleted. - The new queue's napi instances were left disabled (which meant no packets could be received). The xennet_destroy_queues() calls is deferred until the reconnection instead of the disconnection (in xennet_disconnect_backend()) because napi_disable() might sleep.

In ed1f50c3 ("net: add skb_checksum_setup") we introduced some checksum functions in core driver. Subsequent change b5cf66cd ("xen-netfront: use new skb_checksum_setup function") made use of those functions to replace its own implementation. However with that change netfront is broken. It sees a lot of checksum error. That's because its own implementation of checksum function was a bit hacky (dereferencing skb->data directly) while the new function was implemented using ip_hdr(). The network header is not reset before skb is passed to the new function. When the new function tries to do its job, it's confused and reports error. The fix is simple, we need to reset network header before passing skb to checksum function. Netback is not affected as it already does the right thing.

There are many drivers calling alloc_percpu() to allocate pcpu stats and then initializing ->syncp. So just introduce a helper function for them. Cc: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: NCong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is CLOSED. If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown. So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

This patch removes grant transfer releasing code from netfront, and uses gnttab_end_foreign_access to end grant access since gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref may fail when the grant entry is currently used for reading or writing. * clean up grant transfer code kept from old netfront(2.6.18) which grants pages for access/map and transfer. But grant transfer is deprecated in current netfront, so remove corresponding release code for transfer. * fix resource leak, release grant access (through gnttab_end_foreign_access) and skb for tx/rx path, use get_page to ensure page is released when grant access is completed successfully. Xen-blkfront/xen-tpmfront/xen-pcifront also have similar issue, but patches for them will be created separately. V6: Correct subject line and commit message. V5: Remove unecessary change in xennet_end_access. V4: Revert put_page in gnttab_end_foreign_access, and keep netfront change in single patch. V3: Changes as suggestion from David Vrabel, ensure pages are not freed untill grant acess is ended. V2: Improve patch comments.
