      virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON. · 2557a933
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
      we don't need callbacks now.  As it is not reliable, the debug check is
      overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time.  Document this.
      
      Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
      callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
      protection can be easily tripped even on UP.
      
      Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.

      The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
      I think its the following race:
      
      poll says netif_rx_complete
      poll calls enable_cb
      enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
      a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
      enable_cb sees that there is more work           |
      enable_cb disables the interrupt                 |
             .                                         V
             .                            interrupt is delivered
             .                            skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
       some waiting                       disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
             .
      poll would do napi check
      poll would do disable_cb
      
      The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
      caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
      only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

      virtio: balloon driver · 6b35e407
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio
      balloon can be made even simpler.  Here's my attempt.
      
      The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should
      take from the guest (ie. balloon size).  The guest feeds the page
      numbers it has taken via one virtqueue.
      
      A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if
      the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this
      queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply
      fault the pages back in).
      
      This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a
      shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of
      in-guest regulators.

      virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned off · 81a8deab
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net
      driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row.  This is because
      virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it
      contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send
      interrupts.
      
      But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb
      actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt
      routine.
      
      Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since
      disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be
      some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is
      called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never
      run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

      virtio: reset function · 6e5aa7ef
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A reset function solves three problems:
      
      1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
         guest driver without rebooting the guest.
      
      2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
         we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
      
      3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
      
      So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
      feature bits is via reset.
      
      We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
      the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
      remove function.

      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.

      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).
