This patch introduces a helper which will return true if we're sure that the available ring is empty for a specific vq. When we're not sure, e.g vq access failure, return false instead.

The virtio balloon statistics are not updated when the balloon is being resized. But it seems that both tasks could be done in parallel. stats_handle_request() updates the statistics in the balloon structure and then communicates with the host. update_balloon_stats() calls all_vm_events() that just reads some per-CPU variables. The values might change during and after the call but it is expected and happens even without this patch. update_balloon_stats() also calls si_meminfo(). It is a bit more complex function. It too just reads some variables and looks lock-less safe. In each case, it seems to be called lock-less on several similar locations, e.g. from post_status() in dm_thread_func(), or from vmballoon_send_get_target(). The communication with the host is done via a separate virtqueue, see vb->stats_vq vs. vb->inflate_vq and vb->deflate_vq. Therefore it could be used in parallel with fill_balloon() and leak_balloon(). This patch splits the existing work into two pieces. One is for updating the balloon stats. The other is for resizing of the balloon. It seems that they can be proceed in parallel without any extra locking. Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

This patch moves the deferred work from the "vballoon" kthread into a system freezable workqueue. We do not need to maintain and run a dedicated kthread. Also the event driven workqueues API makes the logic much easier. Especially, we do not longer need an own wait queue, wait function, and freeze point. The conversion is pretty straightforward. One cycle of the main loop is put into a work. The work is queued instead of waking the kthread. fill_balloon() and leak_balloon() have a limit for the amount of modified pages. The work re-queues itself when necessary. For this, we make fill_balloon() to return the number of really modified pages. Note that leak_balloon() already did this. virtballoon_restore() queues the work only when really needed. The only complication is that we need to prevent queuing the work when the balloon is being removed. It was easier before because the kthread simply removed itself from the wait queue. We need an extra boolean and spin lock now. My initial idea was to use a dedicated workqueue. Michael S. Tsirkin suggested using a system one. Tejun Heo confirmed that the system workqueue has a pretty high concurrency level (256) by default. Therefore we need not be afraid of too long blocking.

SET_IND takes as a payload the _address_ of the indicators, meaning that we have one of the rare cases where kmalloc(sizeof(&...)) is actually correct. Let's clarify that with a comment. The count for the ccw, however, was only correct because the indicators are 64 bit. Let's use the correct value.

Looking at how callers use this, maybe we should just rename init_used to vhost_vq_init_access. The _used suffix was a hint that we access the vq used ring. But maybe what callers care about is that it must be called after access_ok. Also, this function manipulates the vq->is_le field which isn't related to the vq used ring. This patch simply renames vhost_init_used() to vhost_vq_init_access() as suggested by Michael. No behaviour change. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

The default use case for vhost is when the host and the vring have the same endianness (default native endianness). But there are cases where they differ and vhost should byteswap when accessing the vring. The first case is when the host is big endian and the vring belongs to a virtio 1.0 device, which is always little endian. This is covered by the vq->is_le field. This field is initialized when userspace calls the VHOST_SET_FEATURES ioctl. It is reset when the device stops. We already have a vhost_init_is_le() helper, but the reset operation is opencoded as follows: vq->is_le = virtio_legacy_is_little_endian(); It isn't clear that we are resetting vq->is_le here. This patch moves the code to a helper with a more explicit name. The other case where we may have to byteswap is when the architecture can switch endianness at runtime (bi-endian). If endianness differs in the host and in the guest, then legacy devices need to be used in cross-endian mode. This mode is available with CONFIG_VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY=y, which introduces a vq->user_be field. Userspace may enable cross-endian mode by calling the SET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctl before the device is started. The cross-endian mode is disabled when the device is stopped. The current names of the helpers that manipulate vq->user_be are unclear. This patch renames those helpers to clearly show that this is cross-endian stuff and with explicit enable/disable semantics. No behaviour change. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

This switches to vring_create_virtqueue, simplifying the driver and adding DMA API support. This fixes virtio-pci on platforms and busses that have IOMMUs. This will break the experimental QEMU Q35 IOMMU support until QEMU is fixed. In exchange, it fixes physical virtio hardware as well as virtio-pci running under Xen.

This leaves vring_new_virtqueue alone for compatbility, but it adds two new improved APIs: vring_create_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue backed by automatically allocated coherent memory. (Some day it this could be extended to support non-coherent memory, too, if there ends up being a platform on which it's worthwhile.) __vring_new_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue with a manually-specified layout. This should allow mic_virtio to work much more cleanly. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor) physical addresses of its I/O buffers. This is okay when DMA addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't always the case. For example, this never works on Xen guests, and it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up behind an IOMMU or swiotlb. The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests. For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another driver.

This is a kludge, but no one has come up with a a better idea yet. We'll introduce DMA API support guarded by vring_use_dma_api().

As virtio-ccw will have dma ops, we can no longer default to the zPCI ones. Make use of dev_archdata to keep the dma_ops per device. The pci devices now use that to override the default, and the default is changed to use the noop ops for everything that does not specify a device specific one. To compile without PCI support we will enable HAS_DMA all the time, via the default config in lib/Kconfig.

The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space during splitting. If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit 7dd29d8d ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex and lock it on every callback from VFS"). This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in non-leaf btree node.
