2009-01-06virtio: do not statically allocate root deviceMark McLoughlin
We shouldn't be statically allocating the root device object, so dynamically allocate it using root_device_register() instead.

2008-12-30virtio: add PCI device release() functionMark McLoughlin
Add a release() function for virtio_pci devices so as to avoid: Device 'virtio0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed Move the code to free the resources associated with the device from virtio_pci_remove() into this new function. virtio_pci_remove() now merely unregisters the device which should cause the final ref to be dropped and virtio_pci_release_dev() to be called.

2008-12-30virtio: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()Kay Sievers
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device". To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev) must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the name the registered device should have. At registration time, the init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to access the device name at a later time. We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch, and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id. We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from "struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array and does no longer have a size limitation.

2008-08-26virtio_balloon: fix towards_target when deflating balloonAnthony Liguori
Both v and vb->num_pages are u32 and unsigned int respectively. If v is less than vb->num_pages (and it is, when deflating the balloon), the result is a very large 32-bit number. Since we're returning a s64, instead of getting the same negative number we desire, we get a very large positive number. This handles the case where v < vb->num_pages and ensures we get a small, negative, s64 as the result. Rusty: please push this for 2.6.27-rc4. It's probably appropriate for the stable tree too as it will cause an unexpected OOM when ballooning.

2008-07-25virtio: don't always force a notification when ring is fullRusty Russell
We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host immediately. Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are outgoing parts of the new buffer. Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation: Before: network xmit 7859051 recv 236420 After: network xmit 7858610 recv 118136 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2008-05-30virtio: force callback on empty.Rusty Russell
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization). There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the ring is completely full. It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise has to use a timer to poll. We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable anyway). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

The second check for napi_schedule_prep would prevent any harm in the network stack, but we have called enable_cb possibly after the disable_cb in skb_recv_done. static void skb_recv_done(struct virtqueue *rvq) { struct virtnet_info *vi = rvq->vdev->priv; /* Schedule NAPI, Suppress further interrupts if successful. */ if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(vi->dev, &vi->napi)) { rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(rvq); __netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, &vi->napi); } } That means that the second poll routine runs with interrupts enabled, which is ok, since we can handle additional interrupts. The problem is now that the second poll routine might also call enable_cb, triggering the BUG. The only solution I can come up with, is to remove the BUG statement in enable_cb - similar to disable_cb. Opinions or better ideas where the oops could come from?

2008-05-30virtio: set device index in common code.Rusty Russell
Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code, but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field. In theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created. So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code. The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier for the printks.

2008-05-02virtio: explicit advertisement of driver featuresRusty Russell
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns. There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I didn't notice when it was violated. So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device. Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a straight-forward little-endian array of bytes. Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they really have to. API changes: - dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature. - drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field - use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-05-02virtio: change config to guest endian.Rusty Russell
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big endian machines. The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian, because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the impending s390 merge). API changes: - __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2008-04-07virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON.Rusty Russell
The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this.

2008-02-04virtio: balloon driverRusty Russell
After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt. The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page numbers it has taken via one virtqueue. A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply fault the pages back in). This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of in-guest regulators.

2008-02-04virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned offRusty Russell
Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send interrupts. But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt routine. Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

2008-02-04virtio: reset functionRusty Russell
A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

2008-02-04virtio: clarify NO_NOTIFY flag usageRusty Russell
The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization, to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when the ring is full. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.Rusty Russell
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

2007-11-19virtio: fix module/device unloadingRusty Russell
The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already needed for module unloading. This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest unloading paths. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-11-12virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizesRusty Russell
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest). So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

2007-11-12virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-aroundAnthony Liguori
The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx. Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx wraps around. This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

2007-10-23Module autoprobing support for virtio drivers.Rusty Russell
This adds the logic to convert the virtio ids into module aliases, and includes a modalias entry in sysfs and the env var to make probing work. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Virtio interfaceRusty Russell
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement. The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked. There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query to get setup information from the host.
