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) = ?

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.

The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly into the callsites, so the C versions are always used. But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path, so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler. The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of code, it's worth applying. 1GB Guest->Host: input(suppressed),output(suppressed) Before: Seconds: 0:16.53 Packets: 377268,753673 Interrupts: 22461,24297 Notifications: 1(5245),21303(732370) Net IRQs triggered: 377023(245),42578(711095) After: Seconds: 0:16.48 Packets: 377289,753673 Interrupts: 22281,24465 Notifications: 1(5245),21296(732377) Net IRQs triggered: 377060(229),42564(711109) Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable. These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes patch space, so we drop that code. Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest! Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us. But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

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>

nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount(). Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem; nilfs_get_sb() holds: 1. bdev->bd_mount_sem 2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires) and nilfs_remount() holds: 1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs) 2. bdev->bd_mount_sem To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount state protection in nilfs_remount(). With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.
