vhost: fix typo in error message

2020-09-01T22:34:49+00:00

"enable" should be "disable" when the function name is
vhost_disable_notify(), which does the disabling work.

vhost: introduce vhost_vring_call

2020-08-05T15:08:42+00:00

This commit introduces struct vhost_vring_call which replaced
raw struct eventfd_ctx *call_ctx in struct vhost_virtqueue.
Besides eventfd_ctx, it contains a spin lock and an
irq_bypass_producer in its structure.

vhost: Use flex_array_size() helper in copy_from_user()

2020-08-05T15:08:42+00:00

Make use of the flex_array_size() helper to calculate the size of a
flexible array member within an enclosing structure.

This helper offers defense-in-depth against potential integer
overflows, while at the same time makes it explicitly clear that
we are dealing with a flexible array member.

vhost: Remove redundant use of read_barrier_depends() barrier

2020-07-21T09:50:36+00:00

Since commit 76ebbe78f739 ("locking/barriers: Add implicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() to READ_ONCE()"), there is no need to use
smp_read_barrier_depends() outside of the Alpha architecture code.

Unfortunately, there is precisely _one_ user in the vhost code, and
there isn't an obvious READ_ONCE() access making the barrier
redundant. However, on closer inspection (thanks, Jason), it appears
that vring synchronisation between the producer and consumer occurs via
the 'avail_idx' field, which is followed up by an rmb() in
vhost_get_vq_desc(), making the read_barrier_depends() redundant on
Alpha.

Jason says:

  | I'm also confused about the barrier here, basically in driver side
  | we did:
  |
  | 1) allocate pages
  | 2) store pages in indirect->addr
  | 3) smp_wmb()
  | 4) increase the avail idx (somehow a tail pointer of vring)
  |
  | in vhost we did:
  |
  | 1) read avail idx
  | 2) smp_rmb()
  | 3) read indirect->addr
  | 4) read from indirect->addr
  |
  | It looks to me even the data dependency barrier is not necessary
  | since we have rmb() which is sufficient for us to the correct
  | indirect->addr and driver are not expected to do any writing to
  | indirect->addr after avail idx is increased

Remove the redundant barrier invocation.

kernel: set USER_DS in kthread_use_mm

2020-06-11T02:14:18+00:00

Some architectures like arm64 and s390 require USER_DS to be set for
kernel threads to access user address space, which is the whole purpose of
kthread_use_mm, but other like x86 don't.  That has lead to a huge mess
where some callers are fixed up once they are tested on said
architectures, while others linger around and yet other like io_uring try
to do "clever" optimizations for what usually is just a trivial asignment
to a member in the thread_struct for most architectures.

Make kthread_use_mm set USER_DS, and kthread_unuse_mm restore to the
previous value instead.

kernel: better document the use_mm/unuse_mm API contract

2020-06-11T02:14:18+00:00

Switch the function documentation to kerneldoc comments, and add
WARN_ON_ONCE asserts that the calling thread is a kernel thread and does
not have ->mm set (or has ->mm set in the case of unuse_mm).

Also give the functions a kthread_ prefix to better document the use case.

kernel: move use_mm/unuse_mm to kthread.c

2020-06-11T02:14:18+00:00

Patch series "improve use_mm / unuse_mm", v2.

This series improves the use_mm / unuse_mm interface by better documenting
the assumptions, and my taking the set_fs manipulations spread over the
callers into the core API.

This patch (of 3):

Use the proper API instead.

Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200404094101.672954-1-hch@lst.de

These helpers are only for use with kernel threads, and I will tie them
more into the kthread infrastructure going forward.  Also move the
prototypes to kthread.h - mmu_context.h was a little weird to start with
as it otherwise contains very low-level MM bits.
