vhost: avoid pr_err on condition guest can trigger

2010-07-16T09:18:17Z

Guest can trigger packet truncation by posting a very short buffer and disabling buffer merging. Convert pr_err to pr_debug to avoid log from filling up when this happens. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost-net: avoid flush under lock

2010-07-15T12:26:12Z

We flush under vq mutex when changing backends. This creates a deadlock as workqueue being flushed needs this lock as well. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612421 Drop the vq mutex before flush: we have the device mutex which is sufficient to prevent another ioctl from touching the vq.

vhost: add unlikely annotations to error path

2010-07-01T16:25:40Z

patch 'break out of polling loop on error' caused a minor performance regression on my machine: recover that performance by adding a bunch of unlikely annotations in the error handling. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost: break out of polling loop on error

2010-06-27T08:52:25Z

When ring parsing fails, we currently handle this as ring empty condition. This means that we enable kicks and recheck ring empty: if this not empty, we re-start polling which of course will fail again. Instead, let's return a negative error code and stop polling. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

misc: Fix allocation 'borrowed' by vhost_net

2010-06-09T15:50:31Z

10, 233 is allocated officially to /dev/kmview which is shipping in Ubuntu and Debian distributions. vhost_net seem to have borrowed it without making a proper request and this causes regressions in the other distributions. vhost_net can use a dynamic minor so use that instead. Also update the file with a comment to try and avoid future misunderstandings. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alan Cox [ We should have caught this before 2.6.34 got released. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vhost-net: fix to check the return value of copy_to/from_user() correctly

2010-05-27T10:55:13Z

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied. So we need to check if it is not zero, and in that case, we should return the error number -EFAULT rather than directly return the return value from copy_to/from_user().
