2012-01-13vhost-net: add module alias (v2.1)stephen hemminger
By adding some module aliases, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel. It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work. Also: - use C99 style initialization. - add missing entry in documentation for loop-control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-By: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-21vhost-net: update used ring on backend changeMichael S. Tsirkin
On backend change, we flushed out outstanding skbs but forgot to update the used ring, so that done entries were left in the ubuf_info ring.

2011-07-18vhost: vhost TX zero-copy supportMichael S. Tsirkin
>From: Shirley Ma <mashirle@us.ibm.com> This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net, disabled by default. To enable, set experimental_zcopytx module option to 1. This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished. This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two buffer indices are used for this purpose. The vhost-net device passes the userspace buffers info to lower device skb through message control. DMA done status check and guest notification are handled by handle_tx: in the worst case is all buffers in the vq are in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to release DMA done buffers first before we get any new buffers from the vq. One known problem is that if the guest stops submitting buffers, buffers might never get used until some further action, e.g. device reset. This does not seem to affect linux guests.

2011-03-13vhost-net: Unify the code of mergeable and big buffer handlingJason Wang
Codes duplication were found between the handling of mergeable and big buffers, so this patch tries to unify them. This could be easily done by adding a quota to the get_rx_bufs() which is used to limit the number of buffers it returns (for mergeable buffer, the quota is simply UIO_MAXIOV, for big buffers, the quota is just 1), and then the previous handle_rx_mergeable() could be resued also for big buffers.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-09-06vhost: fix attach to cgroups regressionMichael S. Tsirkin
Since 2.6.36-rc1, non-root users of vhost-net fail to attach if they are in any cgroups. The reason is that when qemu uses vhost, vhost wants to attach its thread to all cgroups that qemu has. But we got the API backwards, so a non-priveledged process (Qemu) tried to control the priveledged one (vhost), which fails. Fix this by switching to the new cgroup_attach_task_all, and running it from the vhost thread. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
