There haave been several areas in the kernel where an int has been used for flags in local_irq_save() and friends instead of a long. This can cause some hard to debug problems on some architectures. This patch adds a typecheck inside the irqsave and restore functions to flag these cases.

Changeset 7fa897b9 ("ide: trivial sparse annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems. In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the loop: for (p = end ; p != s;) be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2)); which will never terminate on big-endian because in such a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)" Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation operations.

To prepare for virtio_ring transport feature bits, hook in a call in all the users to manipulate them. This currently just clears all the bits, since it doesn't understand any features. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rusty Russell authored
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).

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.

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 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+) skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers): Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase that from 128 to 2048: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

Poor wee skb :) How about the incremental patch below? Cheers, Mark. Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a queued buffer and fail to transmit it. However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there is a chance space might become available for it.

Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions, but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup. This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in: arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong to begin with. [ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the 32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate matter. The 32-bit versions are shared - under different names at that! - by both the native x86-32 code and the x86-64 32-bit compatibility code ] Acked-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
