* xen/netback: Properly initialize credit_bytesRoss Lagerwall2015-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e9ce7cb6b107 ("xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data into queue struct") introduced a regression when moving queue-specific data into the queue struct by failing to set the credit_bytes field. This prevented bandwidth limiting from working. Initialize the field as it was done before multiqueue support was added.

| * xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ringWei Liu2015-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and backend. The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also included. Affected Xen drivers: * blkfront/back * netfront/back * pcifront/back * scsifront/back * vtpmfront The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully. The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* xen-netback: support frontends without feature-rx-notify againDavid Vrabel2014-12-18

But the frontend driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms, these stopped working. Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except: - If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only the drain timeout will wake the thread. The default drain timeout of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses. - If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained, then the Rx thread would never wake. Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by: - Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms. - Disabling Rx stall detection.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unconditionally pulling 128 bytes into the linear area is not required for: - security: Every protocol demux starts with pskb_may_pull() to pull frag data into the linear area, if necessary, before looking at headers. - performance: Netback has already grant copied up-to 128 bytes from the first slot of a packet into the linear area. The first slot normally contain all the IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/UDP headers. The unconditional pull would often copy frag data unnecessarily. This is a performance problem when running on a version of Xen where grant unmap avoids TLB flushes for pages which are not accessed. TLB flushes can now be avoided for > 99% of unmaps (it was 0% before). Grant unmap TLB flush avoidance will be available in a future version of Xen (probably 4.6).

If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.

| * xen-netback: fix unlimited guest Rx internal queue and carrier flappingDavid Vrabel2014-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken. 1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound. The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer slots. 2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the (host) Tx queue is not stopped. 3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might not fit in this). The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib, enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory used by packets on the internal queue. This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet. skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets. Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frontends that do not provide feature-rx-notify may stall because netback depends on the notification from frontend to wake the guest Rx thread (even if can_queue is false). This could be fixed but feature-rx-notify was introduced in 2006 and I am not aware of any frontends that do not implement this.

* xen-netback: move netif_napi_add before binding interruptWei Liu2014-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns. If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked. NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS. This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI add/remove calls"). Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and refactor the code with another patch.

* xen-netback: Turn off the carrier if the guest is not able to receiveZoltan Kiss2014-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again. This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and slows down other guests shutdown. This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif. Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived, so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect. Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that.
