virtio: Fix GFP flags passed from the virtio balloon driver

2010-04-22T14:34:05Z

The virtio balloon driver can dig into the reservation pools of the OS to satisfy a balloon request. This is not advisable and other balloon drivers (drivers/xen/balloon.c) avoid this as well. The patch also adds changes to avoid printing a warning if allocation fails, since we retry after sometime anyway.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

virtio: set pci bus master enable bit

2010-03-02T11:41:14Z

As all virtio devices perform DMA, we must enable bus mastering for them to be spec compliant. This patch fixes hotplug of virtio devices with Linux guests and qemu 0.11-0.12. Tested-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

virtio: Initialize vq->data entries to NULL

2010-02-24T03:52:29Z

vq operations depend on vq->data[i] being NULL to figure out if the vq entry is in use (since the previous patch). We have to initialize them to NULL to ensure we don't work with junk data and trigger false BUG_ONs. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Shirley Ma

virtio: Add ability to detach unused buffers from vrings

2010-02-24T03:52:27Z

There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown. This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So add a new hook to do this. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma Signed-off-by: Amit Shah Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: use smp_XX barriers on SMP

2010-02-24T03:52:25Z

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. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: remove bogus barriers from DEBUG version of virtio_ring.c

2010-02-24T03:52:24Z

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... CC: Michael S.

virtio: Fix scheduling while atomic in virtio_balloon stats

2010-02-24T03:52:14Z

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.
