vhost: refine vhost and vringh kconfig Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without virtualization support from using vhost. To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for both vringh and vhost.

vringh: IOTLB support This patch implements the third memory accessor for vringh besides current kernel and userspace accessors. This idea is to allow vringh to do the address translation through an IOTLB which is implemented via vhost_map interval tree. Users should setup and IOVA to PA mapping in this IOTLB. This allows us to: - Use vringh to access virtqueues with vIOMMU - Use vringh to implement software virtqueues for vDPA devices Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200326140125.19794-5-jasowang@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Michael S.

vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds in userspace) - write logging is supported (good for migration) - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm) common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself. What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls. Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm. How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc. Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes. Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU utilization. Features that I plan to look at in the future: - mergeable buffers - zero copy - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU): what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

vringh: host-side implementation of virtio rings. Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace). This abstracts the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.

vhost: introduce vDPA-based backend This patch introduces a vDPA-based vhost backend. This backend is built on top of the same interface defined in virtio-vDPA and provides a generic vhost interface for userspace to accelerate the virtio devices in guest. This backend is implemented as a vDPA device driver on top of the same ops used in virtio-vDPA. It will create char device entry named vhost-vdpa-$index for userspace to use. Userspace can use vhost ioctls on top of this char device to setup the backend. Vhost ioctls are extended to make it type agnostic and behave like a virtio device, this help to eliminate type specific API like what vhost_net/scsi/vsock did: - VHOST_VDPA_GET_DEVICE_ID: get the virtio device ID which is defined by virtio specification to differ from different type of devices - VHOST_VDPA_GET_VRING_NUM: get the maximum size of virtqueue supported by the vDPA device - VHSOT_VDPA_SET/GET_STATUS: set and get virtio status of vDPA device - VHOST_VDPA_SET/GET_CONFIG: access virtio config space - VHOST_VDPA_SET_VRING_ENABLE: enable a specific virtqueue For memory mapping, IOTLB API is mandated for vhost-vDPA which means userspace drivers are required to use VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE to add or remove mapping for a specific userspace memory region. The vhost-vDPA API is designed to be type agnostic, but it allows net device only in current stage. Due to the lacking of control virtqueue support, some features were filter out by vhost-vdpa.

vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set by default). The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we revert to the native endian default. If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy device. It has no effect on modern devices.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help' Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set by default). The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we revert to the native endian default. If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy device. It has no effect on modern devices.

vhost: factor out IOTLB This patch factors out IOTLB into a dedicated module in order to be reused by other modules like vringh. User may choose to enable the automatic retiring by specifying VHOST_IOTLB_FLAG_RETIRE flag to fit for the case of vhost device IOTLB implementation.

vhost: refine vhost and vringh kconfig Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without virtualization support from using vhost. To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for both vringh and vhost.
