| * lguest: turn Waker into a thread, not a processRusty Russell2008-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie. actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention. Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things: it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly, so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with /dev/zero).

| * lguest: Adaptive timeoutRusty Russell2008-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen. This gives slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is introduced. 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 Dynamic (278) 20.1974 xmit 214510 recv 5 timeout 214491 usec 278 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| * lguest: Tell Guest net not to notify us on every packet xmitRusty Russell2008-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets. Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to fill the entire buffer): Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1 2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020 1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003 750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002 500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657 250 usec 20.0465 xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110 100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153 (Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a large grain of salt).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses. Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what will happen then! Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with e.g. --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D or: --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

This is a problem on my MacBook Pro 1st generation, which needs intel-mac-v3, but sometimes incorrectly reports 0x00000100 as subsystem id, which causes the switch in patch_stac922x to select intel-mac-v4. To fix this, I added a new model called intel-mac-auto, so in case no module parameter is passed, and an Intel Mac board is detected, the model will be automatically detected, while no detection will be done if the model is forced to intel-mac-v3. This problem has been around for quite a while, and I used to fix it by moving the case statement for 0x00000100 in patch_stac922x so that intel-mac-v3 is chosen. Another way to fix the problem would be to check if a module parameter was set directly in patch_stac922x, using something like this: if (spec->board_config == STAC_INTEL_MAC_V3 && !codec->bus->modelname) { But I think it is less elegant (if you prefer that way, I can prepare a patch).

This filesystem module enables people to access files on these devices. This patch: OMFS is a proprietary filesystem created for the ReplayTV and also used by the Rio Karma. It uses hash tables with unordered, unbounded lists in each bucket for directories, extents for data blocks, 64-bit addressing for blocks, with up to 8K blocks (only 2K of a given block is ever used for metadata, so the FS still works with 4K pages). Document the filesystem usage and structures.

* | | | | relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early loggingEduard - Gabriel Munteanu2008-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed. This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

* | | | | dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori2008-07-26

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.
