      virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes · 42b36cc0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
      aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
      free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
      of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
      
      So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
      boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
      pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

      virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-around · 1bc4953e
      Anthony Liguori 提交于
      The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx.
      Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an
      unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx
      wraps around.
      
      This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type.

      Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementation · 0a8a69dd
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
      which want to use a ring for virtio.  Unlike the previous lguest
      implementation:
      
      1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
      2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
      3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
      4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
         cacheline.
      5) We do a modulo on a variable.  We could be tricky if we cared.
      6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.
      
      Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
      wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
