2009-06-12lguest: suppress notifications in example LauncherRusty Russell1-0/+15
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know. So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check, then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn notifications off again. There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

2009-06-12lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receiveRusty Russell1-1/+16
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue is full). However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds. It's close to the noise though. I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest -> Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate). // time tcpblast -o -s 65536 -c 16k 192.168.2.1:9999 > /dev/null Timeout Guest->Host Pkts/irq Host->Guest Pkts/irq Before 11.3s 1.0 6.3s 1.0 0 11.7s 1.0 6.6s 23.5 1 17.1s 8.8 8.6s 26.0 1/pending 13.4s 1.9 6.6s 23.8 2/pending 13.6s 2.8 6.6s 24.1 5/pending 14.1s 5.0 6.6s 24.4 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs.Rusty Russell1-0/+9
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really need to interrupt the Guest. This happens as a side effect of spurious notifications. Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and meanwhile the Guest can more notifications. A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

2009-06-12lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example LauncherRusty Russell1-19/+22
Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one. The console input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device, network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send interrupts to the Guest at the right time. The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code. In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting: (1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking, (2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway. Before: Secs RxIRQS TxIRQs 1G TCP Guest->Host: 3.72 32784 32771 1M normal pings: 99 1000004 995541 100,000 1k pings (-l 120): 5 49510 49058 After: 1G TCP Guest->Host: 3.69 32809 32769 1M normal pings: 99 1000004 996196 100,000 1k pings (-l 120): 5 52435 52361 (Note the interrupt count on 100k pings goes *up*: see next patch).

2009-06-12lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threadsRusty Russell1-574/+259
Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block was simply too painful to bear). The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest. Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network device again. Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger interrupts in the Guest directly. The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before: * Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher * Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring * Launcher writes packet to TUN device writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108 * Launcher sets up interrupt for Guest (xmit ring is empty) write(10, "\2\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 505}}, NULL) = 0 * Launcher re-runs guest pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ... * Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select) select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) * Waker kicks Launcher out of guest: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher returns from running guest: ... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) * Launcher looks at input fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0}) * Launcher reads pong from tun device: readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108 * Launcher injects guest notification: write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher rechecks fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) * Launcher clears Waker: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher reruns Guest: pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ?

2009-06-12lguest: clean up length-used value in example launcherRusty Russell1-7/+4
The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length. Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length *read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-06-12lguest: remove invalid interrupt forcing logic.Rusty Russell1-7/+1
20887611523e749d99cc7d64ff6c97d27529fbae (lguest: notify on empty) introduced lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on interrupts all the time. Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0 when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from the Guest. It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue: if it's empty, then we force an interrupt. This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but that's the subject of another patch. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: get more serious about wmb() in example Launcher codeRusty Russell1-3/+4
Since the Launcher process runs the Guest, it doesn't have to be very serious about its barriers: the Guest isn't running while we are (Guest is UP). Before we change to use threads to service devices, we need to fix this. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: cleanup passing of /dev/lguest fd around example launcher.Rusty Russell1-55/+47

2009-06-12lguest: be paranoid about guest playing with device descriptors.Rusty Russell1-10/+17
We can't trust the values in the device descriptor table once the guest has booted, so keep local copies. They could set them to strange values then cause us to segv (they're 8 bit values, so they can't make our pointers go too wild). This becomes more important with the following patches which read them. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-06-07ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz2-5/+4
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools. Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives. Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected. Additionally HPA can also be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0" to disable HPA on /dev/hda). v2: Fix ->resume HPA support.
