      xen-blkback: don't store dev_bus_addr · ffb1dabd
      由 Roger Pau Monne 提交于 
      dev_bus_addr returned in the grant ref map operation is the mfn of the
passed page, there's no need to store it in the persistent grant
entry, since we can always get it provided that we have the page.

This reduces the memory overhead of persistent grants in blkback.

While at it, rename the 'seg[i].buf' to be 'seg[i].offset' as
it makes much more sense - as we use that value in bio_add_page
which as the fourth argument expects the offset.

We hadn't used the physical address as part of this at all.

      xen/blkback: persistent-grants fixes · cb5bd4d1
      由 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.

      xen/blkback: Persistent grant maps for xen blk drivers · 0a8704a5
      由 Roger Pau Monne 提交于 
      This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back}
mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap
operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This
allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs
are performing I/O.

Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request
queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote
directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then
removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales
badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when
Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a
ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests
(at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more
than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only
400,000 IOPS are being performed.

This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection
between blkfront and back is broken.

On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent
grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of
persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it
is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code
complexity in blkfront.

To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool
of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront
transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these
free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already
mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if
it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If
the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record
is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is
notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the
shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page}
tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept.

Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the
supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto
the ring.

Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in
a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no
guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search
through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This
operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants
are stored using a single linked list.

The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is
currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to
prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh
grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest
is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to
map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped.
Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and
non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly.
This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a
lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although
setting it will lead to unpredictable performance.

In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional
cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted
pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer
to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any
additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is
perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls
performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

      xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op->dev_bus_addr · 2fc136ee
      由 Stefano Stabellini 提交于 
      If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.

Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

      xen/blkback: Squash the discard support for 'file' and 'phy' type. · 4dae7670
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      The only reason for the distinction was for the special case of
'file' (which is assumed to be loopback device), was to reach inside
the loopback device, find the underlaying file, and call fallocate on it.
Fortunately "xen-blkback: convert hole punching to discard request on
loop devices" removes that use-case and we now based the discard
support based on blk_queue_discard(q) and extract all appropriate
parameters from the 'struct request_queue'.

      xen: modify kernel mappings corresponding to granted pages · 0930bba6
      由 Stefano Stabellini 提交于 
      If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.

In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.

Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.
