2010-02-02virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 ↵Shirley Ma
12:53:38 -0800 virtio_net receives packets from its pre-allocated vring buffers, then it delivers these packets to upper layer protocols as skb buffs. So it's not necessary to pre-allocate skb for each mergable buffer, then frees extra skbs when buffers are merged into a large packet. This patch has deferred skb allocation in receiving packets for both big packets and mergeable buffers to reduce skb pre-allocations and skb frees. It frees unused buffers by calling detach_unused_buf in vring, so recv skb queue is not needed.

2010-01-25virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliableHerbert Xu
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected OOM. After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side. As the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal skb, the host cannot proceed. The guest did not have a refill job scheduled. My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill job scheduled. The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed. As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall. The following patch removes this stall possibility by always rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled. Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas previously it would occur within a day.

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

2009-09-24virtio_net: avoid (most) NETDEV_TX_BUSY by stopping queue early.Rusty Russell
Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early. It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure, but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons).

2009-09-24virtio_net: don't free buffers in xmit ringRusty Russell
The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit path). The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(), reset on every xmit. Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken. So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet(). This was a benchmark win. Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit packet (slowing the guest down further). Attempting mitigation in the host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it wrong. In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there. Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY. Note that the current QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal, but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that. Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified the other end, for a slight optimization.

2009-09-24virtio_net: return NETDEV_TX_BUSY instead of queueing an extra skb.Rusty Russell
This effectively reverts 99ffc696d10b28580fe93441d627cf290ac4484c "virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY". The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the tasklet in the next patch. If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY. This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

2009-09-24virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path.Rusty Russell
The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times. After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan() generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following patches take advantage of this.

This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits: 1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer. 2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently on netdevices (with exporting right functions). I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

2009-06-12virtio: find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operationsMichael S. Tsirkin
This replaces find_vq/del_vq with find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations, and updates all drivers. This is needed for MSI support, because MSI needs to know the total number of vectors upfront.

2009-06-12virtio: add names to virtqueue struct, mapping from devices to queues.Rusty Russell
Add a linked list of all virtqueues for a virtio device: this helps for debugging and is also needed for upcoming interface change. Also, add a "name" field for clearer debug messages. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-11virtio_net: Fix IP alignment on non-mergeable RX pathHerbert Xu
We need to enforce the IP alignment on the non-mergeable RX path just like the other RX path. Not doing so results in misaligned IP headers.

2009-06-08virtio_net: Set correct gso->hdr_lenHerbert Xu
Through a bug in the tun driver, I noticed that virtio_net is producing bogus hdr_len values. In particular, it only includes the IP header in the linear area, and excludes the entire TCP header. This causes the TCP header to be copied twice for each packet. (The bug omitted the second copy :) This patch corrects this.

2009-05-29net: convert unicast addr listJiri Pirko
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes). I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len. The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the change is not so trivial.

2009-05-01virtio_net: Cleanup command queue scatterlist usageAlex Williamson
We were avoiding calling sg_init* on scatterlists passed into virtnet_send_command to prevent extraneous end markers. This caused build warnings for uninitialized variables.

2009-04-04virtio_net: Set the mac config only when VIRITO_NET_F_MACAlex Williamson
VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC indicates the presence of the mac field in config space, not the validity of the value it contains. Allow the mac to be changed at runtime, but only push the change into config space with the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature present.

2009-03-18virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detectionPantelis Koukousoulas
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier. This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm where NetworkManager just configures and sets up everything automagically. If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner makes user experience that much better.
