      virtio: Add transport feature handling stub for virtio_ring. · e34f8725
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      To prepare for virtio_ring transport feature bits, hook in a call in
      all the users to manipulate them.  This currently just clears all the
      bits, since it doesn't understand any features.

      virtio: Rename set_features to finalize_features · c624896e
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just
      hand the virtio_device and have it set the features.  This make it clear
      that it has the chance to manipulate the features of the device at this
      point (and that all feature negotiation is already done).

      virtio: Formally reserve bits 28-31 to be 'transport' features. · dd7c7bc4

      We assign feature bits as required, but it makes sense to reserve some
      for the particular transport, rather than the particular device.

      s390: use virtio_console for KVM on s390 · faeba830
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      This patch enables virtio_console as the default console on kvm for
      s390. We currently use the same notify hack as lguest for early
      console output. I will try to address this for lguest and s390 later.

      virtio_console: use virtqueue notification for hvc_console · 91fcad19

      This patch exploits the new notifier callbacks of the hvc_console. We can
      use the virtio callbacks instead of the polling code.

      hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks · 611e097d
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
      the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
      without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
      
      In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
      console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
      
      The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
      use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
      
      I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
      free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
      changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
      spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
      
      Changes since last version:
      o remove ifdef
      o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
      o cleanups, sparse..
      
      I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
      played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
      a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
      size constraints.
      
      I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
      the irq_requested element.
      
      Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
      for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
      agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

      virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from host · 066f4d82
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause
      trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size
      (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd).
      
      Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector
      size than 512 byte.

      virtio: don't always force a notification when ring is full · 44653eae
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
      indicated it doesn't want to know.  This seemed like a good idea at
      the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
      immediately.
      
      Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
      refilled constantly.  We should introduce real notification thesholds
      to replace this logic.  Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
      the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
      outgoing parts of the new buffer.
      
      Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:
      Before:
      	network xmit 7859051 recv 236420
      After:
      	network xmit 7858610 recv 118136

      virtio: Recycle unused recv buffer pages for large skbs in net driver · fb6813f4
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
      skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
      
        Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
      
      Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
      that from 128 to 2048:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
      
      If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
      
      This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
      have a separate "small buffer" queue.

      virtio net: Allow receiving SG packets · 97402b96
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
      to sending them.  This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
      case.  For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
      and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
      preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.
