KVM: return an error code in kvm_vm_ioctl_register_coalesced_mmio()

2014-01-30T10:56:09+00:00

If kvm_io_bus_register_dev() fails then it returns success but it should
return an error code.

I also did a little cleanup like removing an impossible NULL test.

KVM: make checks stricter in coalesced_mmio_in_range()

2011-12-27T09:17:07+00:00

My testing version of Smatch complains that addr and len come from
the user and they can wrap.  The path is:
  -> kvm_vm_ioctl()
     -> kvm_vm_ioctl_unregister_coalesced_mmio()
        -> coalesced_mmio_in_range()

I don't know what the implications are of wrapping here, but we may
as well fix it, if only to silence the warning.

KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O bus

2011-09-25T16:17:59+00:00

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.

Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.

Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

KVM: Make coalesced mmio use a device per zone

2011-09-25T16:17:57+00:00

This patch changes coalesced mmio to create one mmio device per
zone instead of handling all zones in one device.

Doing so enables us to take advantage of existing locking and prevents
a race condition between coalesced mmio registration/unregistration
and lookups.

KVM: MMIO: Lock coalesced device when checking for available entry

2011-09-25T16:17:18+00:00

Move the check whether there are available entries to within the spinlock.
This allows working with larger amount of VCPUs and reduces premature
exits when using a large number of VCPUs.

KVM: coalesced_mmio: fix kvm_coalesced_mmio_init()'s error handling

2010-05-17T09:15:53+00:00

kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() keeps to hold the addresses of a coalesced
mmio ring page and dev even after it has freed them.

Also, if this function fails, though it might be rare, it seems to be
suggesting the system's serious state: so we'd better stop the works
following the kvm_creat_vm().

This patch clears these problems.

  We move the coalesced mmio's initialization out of kvm_create_vm().
  This seems to be natural because it includes a registration which
  can be done only when vm is successfully created.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
