The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the guest to communicate with apps on the host. The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device. One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device. The file operation for the char devs will be added in the following commits. Signed-off-by:

When ports get advertised as char devices, the buffers will come from userspace. Equip the fill_readbuf function with the ability to write to userspace buffers. Signed-off-by:

Amit Shah authored
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for that device. New ports are spawned according to this information. The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be hot-plugged in later. Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to hvc consoles. We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window, etc. Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

Adding support for generic ports that will write to userspace will need some code changes. Consolidate the write routine into send_buf() and put_chars() now just calls into the new function. Signed-off-by:

In preparation for serving data to userspace (generic ports) as well as in-kernel users (hvc consoles), separate out the functionality common to both in a 'fill_readbuf()' function. Signed-off-by:

With support for multiple ports, each port will have its own input and output vqs. Prepare the probe function for this change. Signed-off-by:

Console ports could be hot-added. Also, with the new multiport support, a port is identified as a console port only if the host sends a control message. Move the console port init into a separate function so it can be invoked from other places. Signed-off-by:

Amit Shah authored
Move out console-specific stuff into a separate struct from 'struct port' as we need to maintain two lists: one for all the ports (which includes consoles) and one only for consoles since the hvc callbacks only give us the vtermno. This makes console handling cleaner. Signed-off-by:

When multiple console support is added, ensure each port's size gets updated when a new one is opened via hvc. Signed-off-by:

Amit Shah authored
Rather than assume a single port, add a 'struct ports_device' which stores data related to all the ports for that device. Currently, there's only one port and is hooked up with hvc, but that will change. Signed-off-by:

Keep a list of all ports being used as a console, and provide a lock and a lookup function. The hvc callbacks only give us a vterm number, so we need to map this. Signed-off-by:

That way, we can make it const as is good kernel style. We use a separate indirection for the early console, rather than mugging ops.put_chars. We rename it hv_ops, too. Signed-off-by:

vq operations depend on vq->data[i] being NULL to figure out if the vq entry is in use (since the previous patch). We have to initialize them to NULL to ensure we don't work with junk data and trigger false BUG_ONs. Signed-off-by:

Shirley Ma authored
There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown. This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So add a new hook to do this. Signed-off-by:

Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the storage topology. Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up, but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in the storage world. Signed-off-by:

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control memory access ordering. Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use) (compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64). We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead. Signed-off-by:

With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller invokes two virtio methods in parallel. The barriers attempt to ensure timely update of the ->in_use flag. But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to detect it. Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more chance of hiding real problems. Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code... CC: Michael S.

This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)". I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection cannot be done in interrupt context. One solution is to handle the interrupt by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request(). Rusty, is this a saner way of doing business? There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on. In stats_request, I update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread. The kthread uses vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable. Do I need a memory barrier between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct value? My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some confirmation from the experts. Signed-off-by:

Changes since V3: - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes - Minor coding style updates Changes since V2: - Increase stat field size to 64 bits - Report all sizes in kb (not pages) - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion Changes since V1: - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor. This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and reporting to the virtio balloon driver. Signed-off-by: -

803bf5ec ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to 20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all. This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does this already. This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being killed. Signed-off-by:

This is retry of reverted 859ddf09 ("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs. * pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full(). * The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer. Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation. The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.
