We need a full barrier after writing out event index, using
virt_store_mb there seems better than open-coding. As usual, we need a
wrapper to account for strong barriers.
It's tempting to use this in vhost as well, for that, we'll
need a variant of smp_store_mb that works on __user pointers.

Improves cacheline transfer flow of available ring header.
Virtqueues are implemented as a pair of rings, one producer->consumer
avail ring and one consumer->producer used ring; preceding the
avail ring in memory are two contiguous u16 fields -- avail->flags
and avail->idx. A producer posts work by writing to avail->idx and
a consumer reads avail->idx.
The flags and idx fields only need to be written by a producer CPU
and only read by a consumer CPU; when the producer and consumer are
running on different CPUs and the virtio_ring code is structured to
only have source writes/sink reads, we can continuously transfer the
avail header cacheline between 'M' states between cores. This flow
optimizes core -> core bandwidth on certain CPUs.
(see: "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Family 15h Processors",
Section 11.6; similar language appears in the 10h guide and should
apply to CPUs w/ exclusive caches, using LLC as a transfer cache)
Unfortunately the existing virtio_ring code issued reads to the
avail->idx and read-modify-writes to avail->flags on the producer.
This change shadows the flags and index fields in producer memory;
the vring code now reads from the shadows and only ever writes to
avail->flags and avail->idx, allowing the cacheline to transfer
core -> core optimally.
In a concurrent version of vring_bench, the time required for
10,000,000 buffer checkout/returns was reduced by ~2% (average
across many runs) on an AMD Piledriver (15h) CPU:

The further away (in a NUMA sense) virtio producers and consumers are
from each other, the more we expect to benefit. Physical implementations
of virtio devices and implementations of virtio where the consumer polls
vring avail indexes (vhost) should also benefit.

b92b1b89a3 ("virtio: force vring descriptors to be allocated from

__GFP_HIGHMEM from a given gfp mask. The patch also cleared __GFP_HIGH
which doesn't make much sense for this fix because __GFP_HIGH only
controls access to memory reserves and it doesn't have any influence
on the zone selection. Some of the call paths use GFP_ATOMIC and
dropping __GFP_HIGH will reduce their changes for success because the
lack of access to memory reserves.

For virtio-1, we can theoretically have a more complex virtqueue
layout with avail and used buffers not on a contiguous memory area
with the descriptor table. For now, it's fine for a transport driver
to stay with the old layout: It needs, however, a way to access
the locations of the avail/used rings so it can register them with
the host.

virtqueue_add() populates the virtqueue descriptor table from the sgs
given. If it uses an indirect descriptor table, then it puts a single
descriptor in the descriptor table pointing to the kmalloc'ed indirect
table where the sg is populated.
Previously vring_add_indirect() did the allocation and the simple
linear layout. We replace that with alloc_indirect() which allocates
the indirect table then chains it like the normal descriptor table so
we can reuse the core logic.
This slows down pktgen by less than 1/2 a percent (which uses direct
descriptors), as well as vring_bench, but it's far neater.

Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic
context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such
allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys
to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to
userspace via the buffers for the virtual device.
This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested
flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic
allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which
will be handled by the driver.

In the unusual (but now possible) case where a driver does add_buf()

into this situation under stress, and it drops packets
and performs badly.
So return the number of buffers we can guarantee users.

virtio ring was changed to return an error code on OOM,
but one caller was missed and still checks for vq->vring.num.
The fix is just to check for <0 error code.
Long term it might make sense to change goto add_head to
just return an error on oom instead, but let's apply
a minimal fix for 2.6.35.

Add an add_buf variant that gets gfp parameter. Use that
to allocate indirect buffers.

We have a single virtqueue_ops implementation,
and it seems unlikely we'll get another one
at this point. So let's remove an unnecessary
level of indirection: it would be very easy to
re-add it if another implementation surfaces.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

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.
