* | xen-blkfront: fix accounting of reqs when migratingRoger Pau Monne2015-02-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current migration code uses blk_put_request in order to finish a request before requeuing it. This function doesn't update the statistics of the queue, which completely screws accounting. Use blk_end_request_all instead which properly updates the statistics of the queue.

* xen/blkfront: remove redundant flush_opVitaly Kuznetsov2014-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_op is unambiguously defined by feature_flush: REQ_FUA | REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE 0 -> 0 and thus can be removed.

* xen/blkfront: improve protection against issuing unsupported REQ_FUAVitaly Kuznetsov2014-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Guard against issuing unsupported REQ_FUA and REQ_FLUSH was introduced in d11e61583 and was factored out into blkif_request_flush_valid() in 0f1ca65ee. However: 1) This check in incomplete. In case we negotiated to feature_flush = REQ_FLUSH and flush_op = BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE (so FUA is unsupported) FUA request will still pass the check. 2) blkif_request_flush_valid() is misnamed. It is bool but returns true when the request is invalid. 3) When blkif_request_flush_valid() fails -EIO is being returned. It seems that -EOPNOTSUPP is more appropriate here. Fix all of the above issues. This patch is based on the original patch by Laszlo Ersek and a comment by Jeff Moyer.

| * xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discardOlaf Hering2014-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* xen-blkfront: restore the non-persistent data pathRoger Pau Monne2013-11-08

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

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.

* xen/blkback: Persistent grant maps for xen blk driversRoger Pau Monne2012-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * xen-blkfront: remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM which is now a no-opTheodore Ts'o2012-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the changes in the random tree, IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM is now a no-op; interrupt randomness is now collected unconditionally in a very low-overhead fashion; see commit 775f4b297b. The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag was scheduled to be removed in 2009 on the feature-removal-schedule, so this patch is preparation for the final removal of this flag.

* | xen/blkfront: Add WARN to deal with misbehaving backends.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2012-06-12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * xen-blkfront: make blkif_io_lock spinlock per-deviceSteven Noonan2012-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
