Konrad writes:
It has the 'feature-max-indirect-segments' implemented in both backend
and frontend. 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).

Now that indirect segments are enabled blk_queue_max_hw_sectors must
be set to match the maximum number of sectors we can handle in a
request.

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).

indirect segments.
The max module parameter (by default 32) is the maximum number of
segments that the frontend will negotiate with the backend for indirect
descriptors. Higher value means more potential throughput but more
memory usage. The backend picks the minimum of the frontend and its
default backend value.

In blkif_queue_request blkfront iterates over the scatterlist in order
to set the segments of the request, and in blkif_completion blkfront
iterates over the raw request, which makes it hard to know the exact
position of the source and destination memory positions.
This can be solved by allocating a scatterlist for each request, that
will be keep until the request is finished, allowing us to copy the
data back to the original memory without having to iterate over the
raw request.

Indirect descriptors introduce a new block operation
(BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT) that passes grant references instead of segments
in the request. 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.

We already have the frame (pfn of the grant page) stored inside struct

This prevents us from having to call alloc_page while we are preparing
the request. Since blkfront was calling alloc_page with a spinlock
held we used GFP_ATOMIC, which can fail if we are requesting a lot of
pages since it is using the emergency memory pools.
Allocating all the pages at init prevents us from having to call
alloc_page, thus preventing possible failures.

The git commit f84adf4921ae3115502f44ff467b04bf2f88cf04
(xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe)
was a stop-gate to fix a GCC4.1 bug. The appropiate way
is to actually use an list instead of using an llist.
As such this patch replaces the usage of llist with an
list.
Since we always manipulate the list while holding the io_lock, there's
no need for additional locking (llist used previously is safe to use
concurrently without additional locking).

Replace llist_for_each_entry_safe with a while loop.
llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
to remove it and use a while loop and do the deletion manually.
Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk, either
by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.

Currently blkfront fails to handle cases in blkif_completion like the
following:
1st loop in rq_for_each_segment
* bv_offset: 3584
* bv_len: 512
* offset += bv_len
* i: 0
2nd loop:
* bv_offset: 0
* bv_len: 512
* i: 0
In the second loop i should be 1, since we assume we only wanted to
read a part of the previous page. This patches fixes this cases where
only a part of the shared page is read, and blkif_completion assumes
that if the bv_offset of a bvec is less than the previous bv_offset
plus the bv_size we have to switch to the next shared page.

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.

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().
If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

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.

And bug-fixes:
* Fix CPU bring-up code missing a call to notify other subsystems.
* Fix reading /sys/hypervisor even if PVonHVM drivers are not loaded.
* In Xen ACPI processor driver: remove too verbose WARN messages, fix
up the Kconfig dependency to be a module by default, and add
dependency on CPU_FREQ.
* Disable CPU frequency drivers from loading when booting under Xen
(as we want the Xen ACPI processor to be used instead).
* Cleanups in tmem code."

When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line
reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY).
It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform-pci and
platform-pci isn't initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is
specified.
Fix it by allowing platform-pci to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never,
and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead.

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.

The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.
Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).
Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.

The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could

Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

Guard against issuing BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER or BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_CACHE
by checking whether we successfully negotiated with the backend.
The negotiation with the backend also sets the q->flush_flags which
fortunately for us is also used when submitting an bio to us. If
we don't support barriers or flushes it would be set to zero so
we should never end up having to deal with REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.
However, other third party implementations of __make_request that
might be stacked on top of us might not be so smart, so lets fix this up.

When we get -EOPNOTSUPP response for a discard request, we will clear
the discard flag on the request queue so we won't attempt to send discard
requests to backend again, and this should be protected under rq->queue_lock.
However, when we setup the request queue, we pass blkif_io_lock to
blk_init_queue so rq->queue_lock is blkif_io_lock indeed, and this lock
is already taken when we are in blkif_interrpt, so remove the
spin_lock/spin_unlock when we clear the discard flag or we will end up
with deadlock here

These were intended to avoid the namespace clash when representing
emulated IDE and SCSI devices. However that seems to confuse users
more than expected (a disk defined as sda becomes xvde).
So for now go back to the scheme which does no adjustments. This
will break when mixing IDE and SCSI names in the configuration of
guests but should be by now expected.

If the backend supports the 'feature-flush-cache' mode, use that
instead of the 'feature-barrier' support.
Currently there are three backends that support the 'feature-flush-cache'
mode: NetBSD, Solaris and Linux kernel. The 'flush' option is much
light-weight version than the 'barrier' support so lets try to use as
there are no filesystems in the kernel that use full barriers anymore.

barrier variable is int, not long. This overflow caused another variable
override: "err" (in PV code) and "binfo" (in xenlinux code -

This patch makes sure blkfront handles correctly virtual device numbers
corresponding to Xen emulated IDE and SCSI disks: in those cases
blkfront translates the major number to XENVBD and the minor number to a
low xvd minor.
Note: this behaviour is different from what old xenlinux PV guests used
to do: they used to steal an IDE or SCSI major number and use it
instead.
