879466e6a5 Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip into for-3.16/drivers
Konrad writes:

Please git pull the following branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git stable/for-jens-3.16

which has a bunch of fixes to the Xen block frontend and backend driver
and a new parameter for Xen backend driver - an override (set by the toolstack)
whether to expose the discard support (if disk of course supports it) or not.

1c8cad6c1b xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discard
In its initial implementation a check for "type" was added, but only phy
and file are handled. This breaks advertised discard support for other
type values such as qdisk.

Fix and simplify this function: If the backend advertises discard
support it is supposed to implement it properly, so enable
feature_discard unconditionally. If the backend advertises the need for
a certain granularity and alignment then propagate both properties to
the blocklayer. The discard-secure property is a boolean, update the code
to reflect that.

b4f42e2831 block: remove struct request buffer member
This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

Konrad writes:

Please git pull the following branch:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git stable/for-jens-3.14

which is based off v3.13-rc6. If you would like me to rebase it on
a different branch/tag I would be more than happy to do so.

The patches are all bug-fixes and hopefully can go in 3.14.

They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks
as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you
are OK with I will ask them to backport those fixes.

There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state
transition. And lastly a fix to the header where it was using the
__aligned__ unnecessarily.

3661371701 xen-blkfront: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING
Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is
CLOSED.  If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the
frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown.

So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

80bfa2f6e2 xen-blkif: drop struct blkif_request_segment_aligned
This was wrongly introduced in commit 402b27f9, the only difference
between blkif_request_segment_aligned and blkif_request_segment is
that the former has a named padding, while both share the same
memory layout.

Also correct a few minor glitches in the description, including for it
to no longer assume PAGE_SIZE == 4096.

 "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
  rest is fairly minor.  It was supposed to go in last round, but
  various issues pushed it to this release instead.  The pull request

     here, just minor fixes and cleanups.

   - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
     from Christian Engelmayer.

   - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.

   - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet.  This
     enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
     possible, and splitting more efficient.  Related fixes to immutable
     bio_vecs:

        - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.

51c71a3bba xen/pvhvm: If xen_platform_pci=0 is set don't blow up (v4).
The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:

  xen_platform_pci=0
  (in the guest config file)

or
  xen_emul_unplug=never
  (on the Linux command line)

except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
stumble upon:

which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
PV driver check for:
 - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
   native environment).
 - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
   in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
 - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
   does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
   then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
   Ditto for the network one ('nics').
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
   then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
   In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.

bfe11d6de1 xen-blkfront: restore the non-persistent data path
When persistent grants were added they were always used, even if the
backend doesn't have this feature (there's no harm in always using the
same set of pages). This restores the old data path when the backend
doesn't have persistent grants, removing the burden of doing a memcpy
when it is not actually needed.

c47206e25f xen-blkfront: improve aproximation of required grants per request
Improve the calculation of required grants to process a request by
using nr_phys_segments instead of always assuming a request is going
to use all posible segments.

nr_phys_segments contains the number of scatter-gather DMA addr+len
pairs, which is basically what we put at every granted page.
for_each_sg iterates over the DMA addr+len pairs and uses a grant
page for each of them.

fbe363c476 xen-blkfront: revoke foreign access for grants not mapped by the backend
There's no need to keep the foreign access in a grant if it is not
persistently mapped by the backend. This allows us to free grants that
are not mapped by the backend, thus preventing blkfront from hoarding
all grants.

The main effect of this is that blkfront will only persistently map
the same grants as the backend, and it will always try to use grants
that are already mapped by the backend. Also the number of persistent
grants in blkfront is the same as in blkback (and is controlled by the
value in blkback).

f35546e072 Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen into for-3.11/drivers
Konrad writes:

It has the 'feature-max-indirect-segments' implemented in both backend
and frontend. The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the
segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per
request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we
can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough.

The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream.
The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate
the segment size.  This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size.
It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes
(256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the
request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension
still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be
specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose).

The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the
‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have
an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of
the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out
how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment.
If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB.

Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing
it to be a bit more flexible.

There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it
borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to
what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these
'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate
how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is
bigger than the segment size).

This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover:
32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space
in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M)
can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB.

Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work
great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension)
work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries
it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so  50% of the page
is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page
per request * 4096 = 32MB.

This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes
a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and
balancing the needs of many guests.

In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD.
This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and
all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated.

Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on
th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).

7c4d7d710f xen/blkback: Use physical sector size for setup
Currently xen-blkback passes the logical sector size over xenbus and
xen-blkfront sets up the paravirt disk with that logical block size.
But newer drives usually have the logical sector size set to 512 for
compatibility reasons and would show the actual sector size only in
physical sector size.
This results in the device being partitioned and accessed in dom0 with
the correct sector size, but the guest thinks 512 bytes is the correct
block size. And that results in poor performance.

To fix this, blkback gets modified to pass also physical-sector-size
over xenbus and blkfront to use both values to set up the paravirt
disk. I did not just change the passed in sector-size because I am
not sure having a bigger logical sector size than the physical one
is valid (and that would happen if a newer dom0 kernel hits an older
domU kernel). Also this way a domU set up before should still be
accessible (just some tools might detect the unaligned setup).

The max module parameter (by default 32) is the maximum number of

b7649158a0 xen-blkfront: use a different scatterlist for each request
In blkif_queue_request blkfront iterates over the scatterlist in order
to set the segments of the request, and in blkif_completion blkfront
iterates over the raw request, which makes it hard to know the exact
position of the source and destination memory positions.

This can be solved by allocating a scatterlist for each request, that
will be keep until the request is finished, allowing us to copy the
data back to the original memory without having to iterate over the
raw request.

402b27f9f2 xen-block: implement indirect descriptors
Indirect descriptors introduce a new block operation
(BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT) that passes grant references instead of segments
in the request. This grant references are filled with arrays of
blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a
request.

The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs
(frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the
backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been
chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane
value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors
in the frontend if needed.

The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in
which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the
maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending
on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and
in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the
new maximum number of segments.

This prevents us from having to call alloc_page while we are preparing

Allocating all the pages at init prevents us from having to call

The git commit f84adf4921
(xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe)

was a stop-gate to fix a GCC4.1 bug. The appropiate way
is to actually use an list instead of using an llist.

As such this patch replaces the usage of llist with an
list.

Since we always manipulate the list while holding the io_lock, there's
no need for additional locking (llist used previously is safe to use
concurrently without additional locking).

        je      .L30    	#, out of the loop

        jne     .L25    	#,	back to the top of the loop
.L30:

While on GCC 4.1, it is:
L78:
	... code in the loop
	testq   %r13, %r13      # n
        je      .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop
        movq    16(%rbx), %r13  # <variable>.node.next, n
        jmp     .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop

Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
being:

	&(pos)->member != NULL;

is:
	;

which makes the loop unbound.

Since xen-blkfront is the only user of the llist_for_each_entry_safe
macro remove it from llist.h.

d62f691858 xen-blkfront: handle bvecs with partial data
Currently blkfront fails to handle cases in blkif_completion like the
following:

1st loop in rq_for_each_segment
 * bv_offset: 3584
 * bv_len: 512
 * offset += bv_len
 * i: 0

2nd loop:
 * bv_offset: 0
 * bv_len: 512
 * i: 0

In the second loop i should be 1, since we assume we only wanted to
read a part of the previous page. This patches fixes this cases where
only a part of the shared page is read, and blkif_completion assumes
that if the bv_offset of a bvec is less than the previous bv_offset
plus the bv_size we have to switch to the next shared page.

0a8704a51f xen/blkback: Persistent grant maps for xen blk drivers
This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back}
mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap
operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This
allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs
are performing I/O.

Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request
queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote
directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then
removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales
badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when
Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a
ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests
(at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more
than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only
400,000 IOPS are being performed.

This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection
between blkfront and back is broken.

On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent
grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of
persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it
is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code
complexity in blkfront.

To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool
of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront
transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these
free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already
mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if
it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If
the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record
is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is
notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the
shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page}
tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept.

Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the
supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto
the ring.

Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in
a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no
guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search
through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This
operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants
are stored using a single linked list.

The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is
currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to
prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh
grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest
is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to
map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped.
Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and
non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly.
This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a
lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although
setting it will lead to unpredictable performance.

In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional
cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted
pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer
to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any
additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is
perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls
performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

Part of the ring structure is the 'id' field which is under
control of the frontend. The frontend stamps it with "some"
value (this some in this implementation being a value less
than BLK_RING_SIZE), and when it gets a response expects
said value to be in the response structure. We have a check
for the id field when spolling new requests but not when
de-spolling responses.

We also add an extra check in add_id_to_freelist to make
sure that the 'struct request' was not NULL - as we cannot
pass a NULL to __blk_end_request_all, otherwise that crashes
(and all the operations that the response is dealing with
end up with __blk_end_request_all).

Lastly we also print the name of the operation that failed.

[v1: s/BUG/WARN/ suggested by Stefano]
[v2: Add extra check in add_id_to_freelist]
[v3: Redid op_name per Jan's suggestion]
[v4: add const * and add WARN on failure returns]

* one is a workaround that will be removed in v3.5 with proper fix in the tip/x86 tree,
  * the other is to fix drivers to load on PV (a previous patch made them only
    load in PVonHVM mode).
 
 The rest are just minor fixes in the various drivers and some cleanup in the

b9136d207f xen: initialize platform-pci even if xen_emul_unplug=never
When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line
reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY).
It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform-pci and
platform-pci isn't initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is
specified.

Fix it by allowing platform-pci to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never,
and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead.

3467811e26 xen-blkfront: make blkif_io_lock spinlock per-device
This patch moves the global blkif_io_lock to the per-device structure. The
spinlock seems to exists for two reasons: to disable IRQs when in the interrupt
handlers for blkfront, and to protect the blkfront VBDs when a detachment is
requested.

Having a global blkif_io_lock doesn't make sense given the use case, and it
drastically hinders performance due to contention. All VBDs with pending IOs
have to take the lock in order to get work done, which serializes everything
pretty badly.

73db144b58 Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiation
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.

Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).

Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.

v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.
