This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2: * handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0.

2012-10-30xen/blkback: Persistent grant maps for xen blk driversRoger Pau Monne
This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back} mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs are performing I/O. Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests (at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only 400,000 IOPS are being performed. This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection between blkfront and back is broken. On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code complexity in blkfront. To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page} tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept. Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto the ring. Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants are stored using a single linked list. The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped. Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly. This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although setting it will lead to unpredictable performance. In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Features: * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure. Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the overall architecture: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/ * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (21 commits) xen/xen_initial_domain: check that xen_start_info is initialized xen: mark xen_init_IRQ __init xen/Makefile: fix dom-y build arm: introduce a DTS for Xen unprivileged virtual machines MAINTAINERS: add myself as Xen ARM maintainer xen/arm: compile netback xen/arm: compile blkfront and blkback xen/arm: implement alloc/free_xenballooned_pages with alloc_pages/kfree xen/arm: receive Xen events on ARM xen/arm: initialize grant_table on ARM xen/arm: get privilege status xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on ARM xen: do not compile manage, balloon, pci, acpi, pcpu and cpu_hotplug on ARM xen/arm: Introduce xen_ulong_t for unsigned long xen/arm: Xen detection and shared_info page mapping docs: Xen ARM DT bindings xen/arm: empty implementation of grant_table arch specific functions xen/arm: sync_bitops xen/arm: page.h definitions xen/arm: hypercalls ...
2012-09-12xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op->dev_bus_addrStefano Stabellini
If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is actually what Xen has written to it. Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead. It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

2012-01-04Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiationJan Beulich
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce a macro to simplify this. Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from the ID table will be used for .driver.name). Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

We used the wrong 'operation' value to squash the call to map pages when processing the discard operation resulting in an hypercall that did nothing. Lets guard against going in the mapping function by checking for the proper operation type. CC: Li Dongyang <lidongyang@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2011-10-13xen/blkback: Report VBD_WSECT (wr_sect) properly.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
We did not increment the amount of sectors written to disk b/c we tested for the == WRITE which is incorrect - as the operations are more of WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_ODIRECT. This patch fixes it by doing a & WRITE check.

2011-10-13xen/blkback: Support 'feature-barrier' aka old-style BARRIER requests.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
We emulate the barrier requests by draining the outstanding bio's and then sending the WRITE_FLUSH command. To drain the I/Os we use the refcnt that is used during disconnect to wait for all the I/Os before disconnecting from the frontend. We latch on its value and if it reaches either the threshold for disconnect or when there are no more outstanding I/Os, then we have drained all I/Os.

2011-10-13xen-blkback: use kzalloc() in favor of kmalloc()+memset()Jan Beulich
This fixes the problem of three of those four memset()-s having improper size arguments passed: Sizeof a pointer-typed expression returns the size of the pointer, not that of the pointed to data. It also reverts using kmalloc() instead of kzalloc() for the allocation of the pending grant handles array, as that array gets fully initialized in a subsequent loop.

2011-09-29xen: modify kernel mappings corresponding to granted pagesStefano Stabellini
If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the kernel mappings accordingly. Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping. However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage. In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated the pages lowmem. We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override. Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching. Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done. Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be set correctly.

2011-08-22xen-blkback: Don't disconnect backend until state switched to XenbusStateClosed.Joe Jin
When do block-attach/block-detach test with below steps, umount hangs in the guest. Furthermore shutdown ends up being stuck when umounting file-systems. 1. start guest. 2. attach new block device by xm block-attach in Dom0. 3. mount new disk in guest. 4. execute xm block-detach to detach the block device in dom0 until timeout 5. Any request to the disk will hung. Root cause: This issue is caused when setting backend device's state to 'XenbusStateClosing', which sends to the frontend the XenbusStateClosing notification. When frontend receives the notification it tries to release the disk in blkfront_closing(), but at that moment the disk is still in use by guest, so frontend refuses to close. Specifically it sets the disk state to XenbusStateClosing and sends the notification to backend - when backend receives the event, it disconnects the vbd from real device, and sets the vbd device state to XenbusStateClosing. The backend disconnects the real device/file, and any IO requests to the disk in guest will end up in ether, leaving disk DEAD and set to XenbusStateClosing. When the guest wants to disconnect the disk, umount will hang on blkif_release()->xlvbd_release_gendisk() as it is unable to send any IO to the disk, which prevents clean system shutdown. Solution: Don't disconnect backend until frontend state switched to XenbusStateClosed.

Running RING_FINAL_CHECK_FOR_REQUESTS from make_response is a bad idea. It means that in-flight I/O is essentially blocking continued batches. This essentially kills throughput on frontends which unplug (or even just notify) early and rightfully assume addtional requests will be picked up on time, not synchronously.
