virtio requests are scatter-gather-style descriptors, but no assumptions should be made about the layout. lguest was lazy here, but saved by the fact that the network device hands all requests to tun (which does it correctly) and console and random devices simply use readv and writev. Block devices, however, are broken: we convert to iovecs internally, just make sure we handle the correctly. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'. The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status. However, it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation. In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the status byte before starting the device service threads. But this corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device. So we had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the threads anyway. Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have acked. On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and start servicing the device. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Do not exit on some non-fatal errors: - writev() fails in net_output(). The result is a lost packet or packets. - writev() fails in console_output().

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know. So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check, then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn notifications off again. There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

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). // time tcpblast -o -s 65536 -c 16k 192.168.2.1:9999 > /dev/null Timeout Guest->Host Pkts/irq Host->Guest Pkts/irq Before 11.3s 1.0 6.3s 1.0 0 11.7s 1.0 6.6s 23.5 1 17.1s 8.8 8.6s 26.0 1/pending 13.4s 1.9 6.6s 23.8 2/pending 13.6s 2.8 6.6s 24.1 5/pending 14.1s 5.0 6.6s 24.4 Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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.

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.

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 home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before: * Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher * Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring * Launcher writes packet to TUN device writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108 * Launcher sets up interrupt for Guest (xmit ring is empty) write(10, "\2\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 505}}, NULL) = 0 * Launcher re-runs guest pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ... * Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select) select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) * Waker kicks Launcher out of guest: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher returns from running guest: ... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) * Launcher looks at input fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0}) * Launcher reads pong from tun device: readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108 * Launcher injects guest notification: write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher rechecks fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) * Launcher clears Waker: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher reruns Guest: pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ?

The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length. Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length *read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

20887611 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on interrupts all the time. Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0 when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from the Guest. It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue: if it's empty, then we force an interrupt. This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but that's the subject of another patch. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Since the Launcher process runs the Guest, it doesn't have to be very serious about its barriers: the Guest isn't running while we are (Guest is UP). Before we change to use threads to service devices, we need to fix this. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

We hand the /dev/lguest fd everywhere; it's far neater to just make it a global (it already is, in fact, hidden in the waker_fds struct). Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

We can't trust the values in the device descriptor table once the guest has booted, so keep local copies. They could set them to strange values then cause us to segv (they're 8 bit values, so they can't make our pointers go too wild). This becomes more important with the following patches which read them. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
