2011-07-27virtio-pci: use generic logic for command accessMichael S. Tsirkin
In practice, guests don't generate config requests that cross a word boundary, so the logic to detect command word access is correct because PCI_COMMAND is 0x4. But depending on this is tricky, further, it will break with guests that do try to generate a misaligned access as we pass it to devices without splitting.

2011-06-12virtio: guard against negative vq notifiesStefan Hajnoczi
The virtio_queue_notify() function checks that the virtqueue number is less than the maximum number of virtqueues. A signed comparison is used but the virtqueue number could be negative if a buggy or malicious guest is run. This results in memory accesses outside of the virtqueue array. It is risky doing input validation in common code instead of at the guest<->host boundary. Note that virtio_queue_set_addr(), virtio_queue_get_addr(), virtio_queue_get_num(), and many other virtio functions do *not* validate the virtqueue number argument. Instead of fixing the comparison in virtio_queue_notify(), move the comparison to the virtio bindings (just like VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_SEL) where we have a uint32_t value and can avoid ever calling into common virtio code if the virtqueue number is invalid.

Commit c81131db15dd1844d0db1d51f3cd7a105cfd2cf3 detects old guests by comparing virtio and PCI status. It attempts to do this on load, as well, but load_config callback in a binding is invoked too early and so the virtio status isn't set yet.

2011-02-01vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guestsmst@redhat.com
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in the same thread. We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd, for now disable vhost-net in these configurations. Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2011-01-10virtio-pci: Use ioeventfd for virtqueue notifyStefan Hajnoczi
Virtqueue notify is currently handled synchronously in userspace virtio. This prevents the vcpu from executing guest code while hardware emulation code handles the notify. On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to how vhost receives virtqueue notifies. The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices. Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially. Some virtio devices are known to have guest drivers which expect a notify to be processed synchronously and spin waiting for completion. For virtio-net, this also seems to interact with the guest stack in strange ways so that TCP throughput for small message sizes (~200bytes) is harmed. Only enable ioeventfd for virtio-blk for now. Care must be taken not to interfere with vhost-net, which uses host notifiers. If the set_host_notifier() API is used by a device virtio-pci will disable virtio-ioeventfd and let the device deal with host notifiers as it wishes. Finally, there used to be a limit of 6 KVM io bus devices inside the kernel. On such a kernel, don't use ioeventfd for virtqueue host notification since the limit is reached too easily. This ensures that existing vhost-net setups (which always use ioeventfd) have ioeventfds available so they can continue to work. After migration and on VM change state (running/paused) virtio-ioeventfd will enable/disable itself. * VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> enable virtio-ioeventfd * !VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> disable virtio-ioeventfd * virtio_pci_set_host_notifier() -> disable virtio-ioeventfd * vm_change_state(running=0) -> disable virtio-ioeventfd * vm_change_state(running=1) -> enable virtio-ioeventfd Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-09-07virtio-net: Introduce a new bottom half packet TXAlex Williamson
Based on a patch from Mark McLoughlin, this patch introduces a new bottom half packet transmitter that avoids the latency imposed by the tx_timer approach. Rather than scheduling a timer when a TX packet comes in, schedule a bottom half to be run from the iothread. The bottom half handler first attempts to flush the queue with notification disabled (this is where we could race with a guest without txburst). If we flush a full burst, reschedule immediately. If we send short of a full burst, try to re-enable notification. To avoid a race with TXs that may have occurred, we must then flush again. If we find some packets to send, the guest it probably active, so we can reschedule again. tx_timer and tx_bh are mutually exclusive, so we can re-use the tx_waiting flag to indicate one or the other needs to be setup. This allows us to seamlessly migrate between timer and bh TX handling. The bottom half handler becomes the new default and we add a new tx= option to virtio-net-pci. Usage: -device virtio-net-pci,tx=timer # select timer mitigation vs "bh" Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2010-09-07virtio-net: Limit number of packets sent per TX flushAlex Williamson
If virtio_net_flush_tx() is called with notification disabled, we can race with the guest, processing packets at the same rate as they get produced. The trouble is that this means we have no guaranteed exit condition from the function and can spend minutes in there. Currently flush_tx is only called with notification on, which seems to limit us to one pass through the queue per call. An upcoming patch changes this. Also add an option to set this value on the command line as different workloads may wish to use different values. We can't necessarily support any random value, so this is a developer option: x-txburst= Usage: -device virtio-net-pci,x-txburst=64 # 64 packets per tx flush One pass through the queue (256) seems to be a good default value for this, balancing latency with throughput. We use a signed int for x-txburst because 2^31 packets in a burst would take many, many minutes to process and it allows us to easily return a negative value value from virtio_net_flush_tx() to indicate a back-off or error condition.

2010-09-07virtio-net: Make tx_timer timeout configurableAlex Williamson
Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device option. The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable, but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to adjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer option.

2010-07-02qdev: Decouple qdev_prop_drive from DriveInfoMarkus Armbruster
Make the property point to BlockDriverState, cutting out the DriveInfo middleman. This prepares the ground for block devices that don't have a DriveInfo. Currently all user-defined ones have a DriveInfo, because the only way to define one is -drive & friends (they go through drive_init()). DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixes information about host and guest part of the block device. I'm working towards a new way to define block devices, with clean host/guest separation, and I need to get DriveInfo out of the way for that. Fortunately, the device models are perfectly happy with BlockDriverState, except for two places: ide_drive_initfn() and scsi_disk_initfn() need to check the DriveInfo for a serial number set with legacy -drive serial=... Use drive_get_by_blockdev() there. Device model code should now use DriveInfo only when explicitly dealing with drives defined the old way, i.e. without -device.

2010-07-02blockdev: Clean up automatic drive deletionMarkus Armbruster
We automatically delete blockdev host parts on unplug of the guest device. Too much magic, but we can't change that now. The delete happens early in the guest device teardown, before the connection to the host part is severed. Thus, the guest part's pointer to the host part dangles for a brief time. No actual harm comes from this, but we'll catch such dangling pointers a few commits down the road. Clean up the dangling pointers by delaying the automatic deletion until the guest part's pointer is gone. Device usb-storage deliberately makes two qdev properties refer to the same drive, because it automatically creates a second device. Again, too much magic we can't change now. Multiple references worked okay before, but now free_drive() dies for the second one. Zap the extra reference.

2010-02-10block: add topology qdev propertiesChristoph Hellwig
Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays or SSDs. The options are: - physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device, this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many modern storage devices - min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact, this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays. - opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is typically the RAID stripe width for arrays. I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration. Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only uses the physical block exponent. To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever. Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and 8k optimal I/O size: -drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192 aliguori: updated patch to take into account BLOCK events Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
