e72542191c virtio: expose for non-virtualization users too
virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.

Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
scope too.

Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.

The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.

This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
(and neat!) for virtualization users now.

Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

7ab358c23c virtio: add api for delayed callbacks
Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks
should be delayed until a lot of work has been done.
Implement using the new event_idx feature.

Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers
ask for a callback after a specific capacity has
been reached. However, as a single head can
free many entries in the descriptor table,
we don't really have a clue about capacity
until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest
to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of
hints drivers can pass when there's more than one
user of the feature.

a5c262c5fd virtio_ring: support event idx feature
Support for the new event idx feature:
1. When enabling interrupts, publish the current avail index
   value to the host to get interrupts on the next update.
2. Use the new avail_event feature to reduce the number
   of exits from the guest.

Simple test with the simulator:

[virtio]# time ./virtio_test
spurious wakeus: 0x7

real    0m0.169s
user    0m0.140s
sys     0m0.019s

bf50e69f63 virtio balloon: kill tell-host-first logic
The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST
feature bit.  Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must
always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator.
Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another
user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it.

But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to
reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_.
As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it.

This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case.  This
should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or
untestable code in the kernel.

This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list
after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some
temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

31a3ddda16 virtio_pci: Prevent double-free of pci regions after device hot-unplug
In the case where a virtio-console port is in use (opened by a program)
and a virtio-console device is removed, the port is kept around but all
the virtio-related state is assumed to be gone.

When the port is finally released (close() called), we call
device_destroy() on the port's device.  This results in the parent
device's structures to be freed as well.  This includes the PCI regions
for the virtio-console PCI device.

Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the
last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do

     pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr);
     pci_release_regions(pci_dev);
     pci_disable_device(pci_dev);

which results in a double-free warning.

Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove()
function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of
the vp_dev.

b3258ff1d6 virtio: Decrement avail idx on buffer detach
When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be
decremented as well.

This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then
plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were
just 'disowned').  qemu reported

   'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256'

when any IO was attempted on the new port.

8b3bb3ecf1 virtio: remove virtio-pci root device
We sometimes need to map between the virtio device and
the given pci device. One such use is OS installer that
gets the boot pci device from BIOS and needs to
find the relevant block device. Since it can't,
installation fails.

Instead of creating a top-level devices/virtio-pci
directory, create each device under the corresponding
pci device node.  Symlinks to all virtio-pci
devices can be found under the pci driver link in
bus/pci/drivers/virtio-pci/devices, and all virtio
devices under drivers/bus/virtio/devices.

b03214d559 virtio-pci: disable msi at startup

specifically msi enable status which affects register

This breaks things like kdump when they try to use e.g. virtio-blk.

Fix by forcing msi off at startup. Since pci.c already has
a routine to do this, we export and use it instead of duplicating code.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

The bug is in virtio-pci: we use msix_vector as array index to get irq

results in this error.

Fix by verifying that vector is legal before using it as index.

d57ed95da4 virtio: use smp_XX barriers on SMP
virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on
another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control
memory access ordering.

Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than
mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on
accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use)
(compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64).

We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because
we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be
running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in
that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead.

97a545ab6c virtio: remove bogus barriers from DEBUG version of virtio_ring.c
With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller
invokes two virtio methods in parallel.  The barriers attempt to ensure
timely update of the ->in_use flag.

But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the
calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the
code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to
detect it.

Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more
chance of hiding real problems.

Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code...

I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection
cannot be done in interrupt context.  One solution is to handle the interrupt
by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon
kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request().  Rusty, is
this a saner way of doing business?

There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on.  In stats_request, I
update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread.  The kthread uses
vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable.  Do I need a memory barrier
between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct
value?  My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some
confirmation from the experts.

9564e138b1 virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)
Changes since V3:
 - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host
 - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes
 - Minor coding style updates

Changes since V2:
 - Increase stat field size to 64 bits
 - Report all sizes in kb (not pages)
 - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion

Changes since V1:
 - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space

When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests.  The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval.  The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure.  This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host.  A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.

This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and
reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

0b22bd0ba0 virtio-pci: fix per-vq MSI-X request logic
Commit f68d24082e
in 2.6.32-rc1 broke requesting IRQs for per-VQ MSI-X vectors:
- vector number was used instead of the vector itself
- we try to request an IRQ for VQ which does not
  have a callback handler

This is a regression that causes warnings in kernel log,
potentially lower performance as we need to scan vq list,
and might cause system failure if the interrupt
requested is in fact needed by another system.

This was not noticed earlier because in most cases
we were falling back on shared interrupt for all vqs.

The warnings often look like this:

virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X
virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X

e95646c3ec virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h
Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca73
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

9fa29b9df3 virtio: indirect ring entries (VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC)
Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.

The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.

This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

ef688e151c virtio: meet virtio spec by finalizing features before using device
Virtio devices are supposed to negotiate features before they start using
the device, but the current code doesn't do this.  This is because the
driver's probe() function invariably has to add buffers to a virtqueue,
or probe the disk (virtio_blk).

This currently doesn't matter since no existing backend is strict about
the feature negotiation.  But it's possible to imagine a future feature
which completely changes how a device operates: in this case, we'd need
to acknowledge it before using the device.

99e0b6c8e3 virtio: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
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.

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.

c624896e48 virtio: Rename set_features to finalize_features
Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just
hand the virtio_device and have it set the features.  This make it clear
that it has the chance to manipulate the features of the device at this
point (and that all feature negotiation is already done).

44653eae14 virtio: don't always force a notification when ring is full
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

b4f68be6c5 virtio: force callback on empty.
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).

I looked into the virtio_net code for some time and I think the following
scenario happened. Please look at virtnet_poll:
[...]
        /* Out of packets? */
        if (received < budget) {
                netif_rx_complete(vi->dev, napi);
                if (unlikely(!vi->rvq->vq_ops->enable_cb(vi->rvq))
                    && napi_schedule_prep(napi)) {
                        vi->rvq->vq_ops->disable_cb(vi->rvq);
                        __netif_rx_schedule(vi->dev, napi);
                        goto again;
                }
        }

If an interrupt arrives after netif_rx_complete, a second poll routine can run
on a different cpu. 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?

b769f57908 virtio: set device index in common code.
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.

c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
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

72e61eb40b virtio: change config to guest endian.
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.

overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time.  Document this.

Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:

 some waiting                       disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
       .
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb

The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

6b35e40767 virtio: balloon driver
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.

81a8deab1c virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned off
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).

6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
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.

426e3e0af5 virtio: clarify NO_NOTIFY flag usage
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.

18445c4d50 virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.
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.

a586d4f601 virtio: simplify config mechanism.
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.

74b2553f1d virtio: fix module/device unloading
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.

42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
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.

1bc4953ed4 virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-around
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.

0a8a69dd77 Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementation
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).

ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
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.
