Qemu will create vhost devices in the kernel which perform network, SCSI,
etc IO and management operations from worker threads created by the
kthread API. Because the kthread API does a copy_process on the kthreadd
thread, the vhost layer has to use kthread_use_mm to access the Qemu
thread's memory and cgroup_attach_task_all to add itself to the Qemu
thread's cgroups, and it bypasses the RLIMIT_NPROC limit which can result
in VMs creating more threads than the admin expected.
This patch adds a new struct vhost_task which can be used instead of
kthreads. They allow the vhost layer to use copy_process and inherit
the userspace process's mm and cgroups, the task is accounted for
under the userspace's nproc count and can be seen in its process tree,
and other features like namespaces work and are inherited by default.

This reverts commit d085eb8ce7 ("vhost: disable for OABI")
With commit "virtio: force spec specified alignment on types"
in place, we force proper alignment for all structures,
so there's no longer a reason to blacklist OABI.
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
vhost is currently broken on the some ARM configs.
The reason is that the ring element addresses are passed between
components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if
guest selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences
it, then alignment assumed by the host's compiler might be
greater than the actual alignment of the pointer.
compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned.
This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a
deprecated configuration. With this OABI, compiler assumes that
all structures are 4 byte aligned - which is stronger than
virtio guarantees for available and used rings, which are
merely 2 bytes. Thus a guest without -mabi=apcs-gnu running
on top of host with -mabi=apcs-gnu will be broken.
The correct fix is to force alignment of structures - however
that is an intrusive fix that's best deferred until the next release.
We didn't previously support such ancient systems at all - this surfaced
after vdpa support prompted removing dependency of vhost on
VIRTULIZATION. So for now, let's just add something along the lines of
depends on !ARM || AEABI
to the virtio Kconfig declaration, and add a comment that it has to do
with struct member alignment.
Note: we can't make VHOST and VHOST_RING themselves have
a dependency since these are selected. Add a new symbol for that.
We should be able to drop this dependency down the road.

This patch introduces a vDPA-based vhost backend. This backend is
built on top of the same interface defined in virtio-vDPA and provides
a generic vhost interface for userspace to accelerate the virtio
devices in guest.
This backend is implemented as a vDPA device driver on top of the same
ops used in virtio-vDPA. It will create char device entry named
vhost-vdpa-$index for userspace to use. Userspace can use vhost ioctls
on top of this char device to setup the backend.
Vhost ioctls are extended to make it type agnostic and behave like a
virtio device, this help to eliminate type specific API like what
vhost_net/scsi/vsock did:
- VHOST_VDPA_GET_DEVICE_ID: get the virtio device ID which is defined
by virtio specification to differ from different type of devices
- VHOST_VDPA_GET_VRING_NUM: get the maximum size of virtqueue
supported by the vDPA device
- VHSOT_VDPA_SET/GET_STATUS: set and get virtio status of vDPA device
- VHOST_VDPA_SET/GET_CONFIG: access virtio config space
- VHOST_VDPA_SET_VRING_ENABLE: enable a specific virtqueue
For memory mapping, IOTLB API is mandated for vhost-vDPA which means
userspace drivers are required to use
VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE to add or remove mapping for
a specific userspace memory region.
The vhost-vDPA API is designed to be type agnostic, but it allows net
device only in current stage. Due to the lacking of control virtqueue
support, some features were filter out by vhost-vdpa.
We will enable more features and devices in the near future.

This patch implements the third memory accessor for vringh besides
current kernel and userspace accessors. This idea is to allow vringh
to do the address translation through an IOTLB which is implemented
via vhost_map interval tree. Users should setup and IOVA to PA mapping
in this IOTLB.
This allows us to:
- Use vringh to access virtqueues with vIOMMU
- Use vringh to implement software virtqueues for vDPA devices

Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.
To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.
While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This
avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it
will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for
both vringh and vhost.

This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement
legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the
feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set
by default).
The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be
used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected
by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little
endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we
revert to the native endian default.
If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added
so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is
used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy
device. It has no effect on modern devices.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.
Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.
