vhost: fix error handling for memory region alloc

2015-07-27T15:05:05Z

callers of vhost_kvzalloc() expect the same behaviour on allocation error as from kmalloc/vmalloc i.e. NULL return value. So just return vzmalloc() returned value instead of returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) Fixes: 4de7255f7d2be5 ("vhost: extend memory regions allocation to vmalloc") Spotted-by: Dan Carpenter Suggested-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov Signed-off-by: Michael S.

vhost: actually track log eventfd file

2015-07-27T15:04:58Z

While reviewing vhost log code, I found out that log_file is never set. Note: I haven't tested the change (QEMU doesn't use LOG_FD yet). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost: add max_mem_regions module parameter

2015-07-13T20:17:19Z

it became possible to use a bigger amount of memory slots, which is used by memory hotplug for registering hotplugged memory. However QEMU crashes if it's used with more than ~60 pc-dimm devices and vhost-net enabled since host kernel in module vhost-net refuses to accept more than 64 memory regions. Allow to tweak limit via max_mem_regions module paramemter with default value set to 64 slots. Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost: extend memory regions allocation to vmalloc

2015-07-13T20:17:18Z

with large number of memory regions we could end up with high order allocations and kmalloc could fail if host is under memory pressure. Considering that memory regions array is used on hot path try harder to allocate using kmalloc and if it fails resort to vmalloc. It's still better than just failing vhost_set_memory() and causing guest crash due to it when a new memory hotplugged to guest. I'll still look at QEMU side solution to reduce amount of memory regions it feeds to vhost to make things even better, but it doesn't hurt for kernel to behave smarter and don't crash older QEMU's which could use large amount of memory regions.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint. The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes. The highlights include: - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi) - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker (Christophe Vu-Brugier) - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover) - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch) - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp) - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory (akinobu) - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch) - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart) - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch) - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations (hch + nab) - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch) - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab) - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab) - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes) - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (76 commits) target: Bump core version to v5.0 target: remove target_core_configfs.h target: remove unused TARGET_CORE_CONFIG_ROOT define target: consolidate version defines target: implement WRITE_SAME with UNMAP bit using ->execute_unmap target: simplify UNMAP handling target: replace se_cmd->execute_rw with a protocol_data field target/user: Fix inconsistent kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic target: Send UA when changing LUN inventory target: Send UA upon LUN RESET tmr completion target: Send UA on ALUA target port group change target: Convert se_lun->lun_deve_lock to normal spinlock target: use 'se_dev_entry' when allocating UAs target: Remove 'ua_nacl' pointer from se_ua structure target_core_alua: Correct UA handling when switching states xen-scsiback: Fix compile warning for 64-bit LUN target: Remove TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT target: use 64-bit LUNs target: Drop duplicate + unused se_dev_check_wce target: Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter ...

Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin: "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a good time for a merge for -rc1. The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE hosts. There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this: - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers. - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY, and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same stripped binary). Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point: prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.

vhost: use binary search instead of linear in find_region()

2015-07-01T08:12:12Z

For default region layouts performance stays the same as linear search i.e. it takes around 210ns average for translate_desc() that inlines find_region(). But it scales better with larger amount of regions, 235ns BS vs 300ns LS with 55 memory regions and it will be about the same values when allowed number of slots is increased to 509 like it has been done in kvm.
