vhost: make vhost work queue visible

2012-07-21T22:22:23+00:00

The vhost work queue allows processing to be done in vhost worker thread
context, which uses the owner process mm.  Access to the vring and guest
memory is typically only possible from vhost worker context so it is
useful to allow work to be queued directly by users.

Currently vhost_net only uses the poll wrappers which do not expose the
work queue functions.  However, for tcm_vhost (vhost_scsi) it will be
necessary to queue custom work.

vhost: Separate vhost-net features from vhost features

2012-07-21T22:21:53+00:00

In order for other vhost devices to use the VHOST_FEATURES bits the
vhost-net specific bits need to be moved to their own VHOST_NET_FEATURES
constant.

(Asias: Update drivers/vhost/test.c to use VHOST_NET_FEATURES)

vhost: use USER_DS in vhost_worker thread

2012-06-27T04:10:56+00:00

On some architectures address spaces are set up in a way that this is
not necessary to work properly but on some others (like s390) it is.
Make sure we operate on the user address space to allow copy_xxx_user()
from the vhost_worker() thread by setting it explicitly before calling
use_mm() and revert it after unuse_mm().

vhost-net: fix handle_rx buffer size

2012-05-11T22:16:57+00:00

Take vlan header length into account, when vlan id is stored as
vlan_tci. Otherwise tagged packets coming from macvtap will be
truncated.

vhost: zerocopy: poll vq in zerocopy callback

2012-05-02T15:22:25+00:00

We add used and signal guest in worker thread but did not poll the virtqueue
during the zero copy callback. This may lead the missing of adding and
signalling during zerocopy. Solve this by polling the virtqueue and let it
wakeup the worker during callback.

vhost_net: zerocopy: adding and signalling immediately when fully copied

2012-05-02T15:22:24+00:00

When a packet were fully copied in zerocopy, we don't wait for the DMA done to
mark the done flag, so after the packet were passed to lower device, we need to
add used and signal guest immediately.

vhost_net: re-poll only on EAGAIN or ENOBUFS

2012-05-02T15:22:24+00:00

Currently, we restart tx polling unconditionally when sendmsg()
fails. This would cause unnecessary wakeups of vhost wokers and waste
cpu utlization when evil userspace(guest driver) is able to hit EFAULT or
EINVAL.

The polling is only needed when the socket send buffer were exceeded or not
enough memory. So fix this by restarting polling only when sendmsg() returns
EAGAIN/ENOBUFS.

vhost_net: zerocopy: fix possible NULL pointer dereference of vq->bufs

2012-05-02T15:22:22+00:00

When we want to disable vhost_net backend while there's a tx work, a possible
NULL pointer defernece may happen we we try to deference the vq->bufs after
vhost_net_set_backend() assign a NULL to it.

As suggested by Michael, fix this by checking the vq->bufs instead of
vhost_sock_zcopy().
