Jason Wang 6b1e6cc785 vhost: new device IOTLB API
This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping
to emulate an IOMMU for the guest.

The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB
(which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net
file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB
update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault
address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace
finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the
vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB.

When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq
addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and
the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace
memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is
prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens
during vq processing.

In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space.
The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little
slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.

Jason Wang a9709d6874 vhost: convert pre sorted vhost memory array to interval tree
Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future
device IOTLB conversion:

1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's
   expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation.
2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect
   several regions with different size.
3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU

To overcome the above shortcomings, this patch convert it to interval
tree which can easily address the above issue with almost no extra
work.

The patch could be used for:

- Extend the current API and only let the userspace to send diffs of
  memory table.
- Simplify Device IOTLB implementation.

Greg Kurz 80f7d0301e vhost: rename vhost_init_used()
Looking at how callers use this, maybe we should just rename init_used
to vhost_vq_init_access. The _used suffix was a hint that we
access the vq used ring. But maybe what callers care about is
that it must be called after access_ok.

Also, this function manipulates the vq->is_le field which isn't related
to the vq used ring.

This patch simply renames vhost_init_used() to vhost_vq_init_access() as
suggested by Michael.

No behaviour change.

commit 2751c9882b ("vhost: cross-endian

cross-endian disabled, and even on LE host, vhost_is_little_endian is

To fix, simply check virtio_legacy_is_little_endian first.

Greg Kurz 2751c9882b vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices
This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement
legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the
feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set
by default).

The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be
used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected
by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little
endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we
revert to the native endian default.

If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added
so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is
used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy
device. It has no effect on modern devices.

Greg Kurz 7d82410950 virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors
The current memory accessors logic is:
- little endian if little_endian
- native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian

If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be
able to convert to big endian.

Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this
patch changes the logic to:
- little endian if little_endian
- big endian if !little_endian

The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper. This
patch doesn't change any functionality, nor it does add overhead.

This use of RCU is also non standard and hard to understand.

Jason Wang 2b8b328b61 vhost_net: handle polling errors when setting backend
Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:

- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
  this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
  add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
  failed.

Solve this by:

- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
  will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend

After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it
will addressed by the next patch.

Michael S. Tsirkin bab632d69e vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support
>From: Shirley Ma <mashirle@us.ibm.com>

This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net,
disabled by default. To enable, set
experimental_zcopytx module option to 1.

This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the
sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers
will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished.
This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two
buffer indices are used for this purpose.

The vhost-net device passes the userspace buffers info to lower device
skb through message control. DMA done status check and guest
notification are handled by handle_tx: in the worst case is all buffers
in the vq are in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to
release DMA done buffers first before we get any new buffers from the
vq.

One known problem is that if the guest stops submitting
buffers, buffers might never get used until some
further action, e.g. device reset. This does not
seem to affect linux guests.

Jason Wang e0e9b40647 vhost: max s/g to match qemu
Qemu supports up to UIO_MAXIOV s/g so we have to match that because guest
drivers may rely on this.

Allocate indirect and log arrays dynamically to avoid using too much contigious
memory and make the length of hdr array to match the header length since each
iovec entry has a least one byte.

Test with copying large files w/ and w/o migration in both linux and windows
guests.

David Stevens 8dd014adfe vhost-net: mergeable buffers support
This adds support for mergeable buffers in vhost-net: this is needed
for older guests without indirect buffer support, as well
as for zero copy with some devices.

Includes changes by Michael S. Tsirkin to make the
patch as low risk as possible (i.e., close to no changes
when feature is disabled).

Tejun Heo c23f3445e6 vhost: replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread
Replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread.  Other than callback
argument change from struct work_struct * to struct vhost_work *,
there's no visible change to vhost_poll_*() interface.

This conversion is to make each vhost use a dedicated kthread so that
resource control via cgroup can be applied.

Partially based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch.

* Updated to use sub structure vhost_work instead of directly using
  vhost_poll at Michael's suggestion.

* Added flusher wake_up() optimization at Michael's suggestion.

Changes by MST:
* Converted atomics/barrier use to a spinlock.
* Create thread on SET_OWNER
* Fix flushing
