Amit Shah b766ceed5b virtio: console: Prepare for writing to userspace buffers
When ports get advertised as char devices, the buffers will come from
userspace. Equip the fill_readbuf function with the ability to write
to userspace buffers.

Amit Shah 17634ba255 virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic ports
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.

The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.

Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.

We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.

Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

Michael S. Tsirkin d57ed95da4 virtio: use smp_XX barriers on SMP
virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on
another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control
memory access ordering.

Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than
mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on
accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use)
(compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64).

We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because
we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be
running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in
that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead.

Rusty Russell 97a545ab6c virtio: remove bogus barriers from DEBUG version of virtio_ring.c
With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller
invokes two virtio methods in parallel.  The barriers attempt to ensure
timely update of the ->in_use flag.

But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the
calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the
code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to
detect it.

Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more
chance of hiding real problems.

Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code...

Adam Litke 1f34c71afe virtio: Fix scheduling while atomic in virtio_balloon stats
This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to
the balloon driver (V4)".

I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection
cannot be done in interrupt context.  One solution is to handle the interrupt
by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon
kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request().  Rusty, is
this a saner way of doing business?

There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on.  In stats_request, I
update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread.  The kthread uses
vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable.  Do I need a memory barrier
between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct
value?  My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some
confirmation from the experts.

Adam Litke 9564e138b1 virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)
Changes since V3:
 - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host
 - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes
 - Minor coding style updates

Changes since V2:
 - Increase stat field size to 64 bits
 - Report all sizes in kb (not pages)
 - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion

Changes since V1:
 - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space

When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests.  The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval.  The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure.  This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host.  A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.

This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and
reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

Ajit Khaparde c4d49794ff net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

Bjorn Helgaas 2fe2abf896 PCI: augment bus resource table with a list
Previously we used a table of size PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES (16) for resources
forwarded to a bus by its upstream bridge.  We've increased this size
several times when the table overflowed.

But there's no good limit on the number of resources because host bridges
and subtractive decode bridges can forward any number of ranges to their
secondary buses.

This patch reduces the table to only PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM (4) entries,
which corresponds to the number of windows a PCI-to-PCI (3) or CardBus (4)
bridge can positively decode.  Any additional resources, e.g., PCI host
bridge windows or subtractively-decoded regions, are kept in a list.

I'd prefer a single list rather than this split table/list approach, but
that requires simultaneous changes to every architecture.  This approach
only requires immediate changes where we set up (a) host bridges with more
than four windows and (b) subtractive-decode P2P bridges, and we can
incrementally change other architectures to use the list.

This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled.  After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot.  But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.

It did mention autoconfigured in the text, but the below makes it more obvious.

More clearly document IPv6 max_addresses parameter.

Anton Blanchard b5abb028e2 e1000: Fix DMA mapping error handling on RX
Check for error return from pci_map_single/pci_map_page and clean up.

With this and the previous patch the driver was able to handle a significant
percentage of errors (I set the fault injection rate to 10% and could still
download large files at a reasonable speed).

Jens Axboe 79da0644a8 Revert "block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depths"
This reverts commit fb1e75389b.

"Benjamin S." <sbenni@gmx.de> reports that the patch in question
causes a big drop in sequential throughput for him, dropping from
200MB/sec down to only 70MB/sec.

Needs to be investigated more fully, for now lets just revert the
offending commit.
