40f9938c4c virtio-mmio: Fix irq parsing in command line parameter
When the resource_size_t is 64-bit long, the sscanf() on
the virtio device command line paramter string may return
wrong value because its format was defined as "%u". Fixed
by using an intermediate local value of a known length.

Also added cleaned up the resource creation and added extra
comments to make the parameters parsing easier to follow.

b92b1b89a3 virtio: force vring descriptors to be allocated from lowmem
Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic
context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such
allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys
to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to
userspace via the buffers for the virtual device.

This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested
flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic
allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which
will be handled by the driver.

75a0a52be3 virtio: introduce an API to set affinity for a virtqueue
Sometimes, virtio device need to configure irq affinity hint to maximize the
performance. Instead of just exposing the irq of a virtqueue, this patch
introduce an API to set the affinity for a virtqueue.

The api is best-effort, the affinity hint may not be set as expected due to
platform support, irq sharing or irq type. Currently, only pci method were
implemented and we set the affinity according to:

- if device uses INTX, we just ignore the request
- if device has per vq vector, we force the affinity hint
- if the virtqueues share MSI, make the affinity OR over all affinities
  requested

59057fbc37 [SCSI] virtio-scsi: Add vdrv->scan for post VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK LUN scanning
This patch changes virtio-scsi to use a new virtio_driver->scan() callback
so that scsi_scan_host() can be properly invoked once virtio_dev_probe() has
set add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK) to signal active virtio-ring
operation, instead of from within virtscsi_probe().

This fixes a bug where SCSI LUN scanning for both virtio-scsi-raw and
virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost setups was happening before VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK
had been set, causing VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BAD_TARGET to occur.  This fixes a bug
with virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost where LUN scan was not detecting LUNs.

Tested with virtio-scsi-raw + virtio-scsi/tcm_vhost w/ IBLOCK on 3.5-rc2 code.

9c378abc5c virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use
Since ee7cd8981e 'virtio: expose added
descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick.  I audited both and this
seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
racy.

While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
(mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

3ccc9372ed virtio_balloon: fix handling of PAGE_SIZE != 4k
As reported by David Gibson, current code handles PAGE_SIZE != 4k
completely wrong which can lead to guest memory corruption errors:

- page_to_balloon_pfn is wrong: e.g. on system with 64K page size
 it gives the same pfn value for 16 different pages.

- we also need to convert back to linux pfns when we free.

- for each linux page we need to tell host about multiple balloon
  pages, but code only adds one pfn to the array.

This patch fixes all that, tested with a 64k ppc64 kernel.

4eb05d562e virtio: balloon: leak / fill balloon across S4
commit e562966dba added support for S4 to
the balloon driver.  The freeze function did nothing to free the pages,
since reclaiming the pages from the host to immediately give them back
(if S4 was successful) seemed wasteful.  Also, if S4 wasn't successful,
the guest would have to re-fill the balloon.  On restore, the pages were
supposed to be marked freed and the free page counters were incremented
to reflect the balloon was totally deflated.

However, this wasn't done right.  The pages that were earlier taken away
from the guest during a balloon inflation operation were just shown as
used pages after a successful restore from S4.  Just a fancy way of
leaking lots of memory.

Instead of trying that, just leak the balloon on freeze and fill it on
restore/thaw paths.  This works properly now.  The optimisation to not
leak can be added later on after a bit of refactoring of the code.

e562966dba virtio: balloon: Add freeze, restore handlers to support S4
Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky.  If the balloon was
inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host
will not have any memory of that.  Any pages that were passed on to the
host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to
re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state.

So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the
pages that were put in the balloon.  When to discard the pages is the
next question.

One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to
the disk (in the freeze() PM callback).  However, asking for pages from
the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of
resources.  Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our
counters soon after wakeup.  This means we don't deflate the balloon
before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host.

This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever
reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state.
This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4
state.  That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected.  Both
the host and the guest are happy.

Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were
previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to
the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and
all is fine.

As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for
hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to
resume normal operation.

The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen
before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore()
callbacks, so we're safe with that.

ee7cd8981e virtio: expose added descriptors immediately.
A virtio driver does virtqueue_add_buf() multiple times before finally
calling virtqueue_kick(); previously we only exposed the added buffers
in the virtqueue_kick() call.  This means we don't need a memory
barrier in virtqueue_add_buf(), but it reduces concurrency as the
device (ie. host) can't see the buffers until the kick.

In the unusual (but now possible) case where a driver does add_buf()
and get_buf() without doing a kick, we do need to insert one before
our counter wraps.  Otherwise we could wrap num_added, and later on
not realize that we have passed the marker where we should have

Since we know vq->vring.num is a power of 2, modulus is lazy (it's asserted
in vring_new_virtqueue()).

41f0377f73 virtio: support unlocked queue kick
Based on patch by Christoph for virtio_blk speedup:

	Split virtqueue_kick to be able to do the actual notification
	outside the lock protecting the virtqueue.  This patch was
	originally done by Stefan Hajnoczi, but I can't find the
	original one anymore and had to recreated it from memory.
	Pointers to the original or corrections for the commit message
	are welcome.

Stefan's patch was here:

	a6d06644e3
	http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-virtualization/msg14616.html

Third time's the charm!

f96fde41f7 virtio: rename virtqueue_add_buf_gfp to virtqueue_add_buf
Remove wrapper functions. This makes the allocation type explicit in
all callers; I used GPF_KERNEL where it seemed obvious, left it at
GFP_ATOMIC otherwise.

5dfc17628d virtio: document functions better.
The old documentation is left over from when we used a structure with
strategy pointers.

And move the documentation to the C file as per kernel practice.
Though I disagree...

7b21e34fd1 virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones.  That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).

Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci.  In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.

By comparison, this branch is in the noise.
