Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be
issued by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront
and backend.
As a result, the performance can get improved significantly.
We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster
backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times
for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing.
The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page
ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical
drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy.
Changes in v2:
- Rebased to 4.0-rc6.
- Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h.
Changes in v3:
- Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined
in io/blkif.h of XEN tree.
- Rebased to 4.1-rc3
Changes in v4:
- Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'.
- A few comments from Roger.

- Clarify with 4k granularity to comment

Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along
information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and
backend.
The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in
general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to
various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also
included.
Affected Xen drivers:
* blkfront/back
* netfront/back
* pcifront/back
* scsifront/back
* vtpmfront
The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

blkback does not unmap persistent grants when frontend goes to Closed
state (e.g. when blkfront module is being removed). This leads to the
following in guest's dmesg:
[ 343.243825] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x445 still in use!
[ 343.243825] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x42a still in use!
...
When load module -> use device -> unload module sequence is performed multiple times
it is possible to hit BUG() condition in blkfront module:
[ 343.243825] kernel BUG at drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:954!

We don't need to keep these grants if we're disconnecting as frontend might already
forgot about them. Solve the issue by moving xen_blkbk_free_caches() call from
xen_blkif_free() to xen_blkif_disconnect().
Now we can see the following:
[ 928.590893] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x587 still in use!

They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks
as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you

There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state

This was wrongly introduced in commit 402b27f9, the only difference
between blkif_request_segment_aligned and blkif_request_segment is
that the former has a named padding, while both share the same

Also correct a few minor glitches in the description, including for it

I've at least identified two possible memory leaks in blkback, both
related to the shutdown path of a VBD:
- blkback doesn't wait for any pending purge work to finish before
cleaning the list of free_pages. The purge work will call
put_free_pages and thus we might end up with pages being added to
the free_pages list after we have emptied it. Fix this by making
sure there's no pending purge work before exiting
xen_blkif_schedule, and moving the free_page cleanup code to
xen_blkif_free.
- blkback doesn't wait for pending requests to end before cleaning
persistent grants and the list of free_pages. Again this can add
pages to the free_pages list or persistent grants to the
persistent_gnts red-black tree. Fixed by moving the persistent
grants and free_pages cleanup code to xen_blkif_free.
Also, add some checks in xen_blkif_free to make sure we are cleaning
everything.

With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests

The code generat with gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)
creates an unbound loop for the second foreach_grant_safe loop in
purge_persistent_gnt.
The workaround is to avoid having this second loop and instead
perform all the work inside the first loop by adding a new variable,
clean_used, that will be set when all the desired persistent grants
have been removed and we need to iterate over the remaining ones to
remove the WAS_ACTIVE flag.

Check that the ring does not have an insane amount of requests
(more than there could fit on the ring).
If we detect this case we will stop processing the requests
and wait until the XenBus disconnects the ring.
The existing check RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW which checks for how
many responses we have created in the past (rsp_prod_pvt) vs
requests consumed (req_cons) and whether said difference is greater or
equal to the size of the ring, does not catch this case.
Wha the condition does check if there is a need to process more
as we still have a backlog of responses to finish. Note that both
of those values (rsp_prod_pvt and req_cons) are not exposed on the
shared ring.
To understand this problem a mini crash course in ring protocol
response/request updates is in place.
There are four entries: req_prod and rsp_prod; req_event and rsp_event
to track the ring entries. We are only concerned about the first two -
which set the tone of this bug.
The req_prod is a value incremented by frontend for each request put
on the ring. Conversely the rsp_prod is a value incremented by the backend
for each response put on the ring (rsp_prod gets set by rsp_prod_pvt when
pushing the responses on the ring). Both values can
wrap and are modulo the size of the ring (in block case that is 32).
Please see RING_GET_REQUEST and RING_GET_RESPONSE for the more details.
The culprit here is that if the difference between the
req_prod and req_cons is greater than the ring size we have a problem.
Fortunately for us, the '__do_block_io_op' loop:
rc = blk_rings->common.req_cons;
rp = blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod;
while (rc != rp) {
..
blk_rings->common.req_cons = ++rc; /* before make_response() */
}
will loop up to the point when rc == rp. The macros inside of the
loop (RING_GET_REQUEST) is smart and is indexing based on the modulo
of the ring size. If the frontend has provided a bogus req_prod value
we will loop until the 'rc == rp' - which means we could be processing
already processed requests (or responses) often.
The reason the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW is not helping here is
b/c it only tracks how many responses we have internally produced
and whether we would should process more. The astute reader will
notice that the macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW provides two
arguments - more on this later.
For example, if we were to enter this function with these values:
blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod = X+31415 (X is the value from
the last time __do_block_io_op was called).
blk_rings->common.req_cons = X
blk_rings->common.rsp_prod_pvt = X
The RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW(&blk_rings->common, blk_rings->common.req_cons)
is doing:
req_cons - rsp_prod_pvt >= 32
Which is,
X - X >= 32 or 0 >= 32
And that is false, so we continue on looping (this bug).
If we re-use said macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW and pass in the rp
instead (sring->req_prod) of rc, the this macro can do the check:
req_prod - rsp_prov_pvt >= 32
Which is,
X + 31415 - X >= 32 , or 31415 >= 32
which is true, so we can error out and break out of the function.
Unfortunatly the difference between rsp_prov_pvt and req_prod can be
at 32 (which would error out in the macro). This condition exists when
the backend is lagging behind with the responses and still has not finished
responding to all of them (so make_response has not been called), and
the rsp_prov_pvt + 32 == req_cons. This ends up with us not being able
to use said macro.
Hence introducing a new macro called RING_REQUEST_PROD_OVERFLOW which does
a simple check of:
req_prod - rsp_prod_pvt > RING_SIZE
And with the X values from above:
X + 31415 - X > 32
Returns true. Also not that if the ring is full (which is where
the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW triggered), we would not hit the
same condition:
X + 32 - X > 32
Which is false.
Lets use that macro.
Note that in v5 of this patchset the macro was different - we used an
earlier version.

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).

Allocate pending requests in smaller chunks instead of allocating them
all at the same time.
This change also removes the global array of pending_reqs, it is no
longer necessay.
Variables related to the grant mapping have been grouped into a struct
called "grant_page", this allows to allocate them in smaller chunks,
and also improves memory locality.

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.

This mechanism allows blkback to change the number of grants
persistently mapped at run time.
The algorithm uses a simple LRU mechanism that removes (if needed) the
persistent grants that have not been used since the last LRU run, or
if all grants have been used it removes the first grants in the list
(that are not in use).
The algorithm allows the user to change the maximum number of
persistent grants, by changing max_persistent_grants in sysfs.
Since we are storing the persistent grants used inside the request
struct (to be able to mark them as "unused" when unmapping), we no
longer need the bitmap (unmap_seg).

Using balloon pages for all granted pages allows us to simplify the
logic in blkback, especially in the xen_blkbk_map function, since now
we can decide if we want to map a grant persistently or not after we
have actually mapped it. This could not be done before because
persistent grants used ballooned pages, whereas non-persistent grants
used pages from the kernel.
This patch also introduces several changes, the first one is that the
list of free pages is no longer global, now each blkback instance has
it's own list of free pages that can be used to map grants. Also, a
run time parameter (max_buffer_pages) has been added in order to tune
the maximum number of free pages each blkback instance will keep in
it's buffer.

dev_bus_addr returned in the grant ref map operation is the mfn of the
passed page, there's no need to store it in the persistent grant
entry, since we can always get it provided that we have the page.
This reduces the memory overhead of persistent grants in blkback.
While at it, rename the 'seg[i].buf' to be 'seg[i].offset' as
it makes much more sense - as we use that value in bio_add_page
which as the fourth argument expects the offset.
We hadn't used the physical address as part of this at all.

If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit
frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request,
the request was not translated and the response would have the
incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave
incorrectly or crash.
Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place,
regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a
valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP).
This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend.
This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES
source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would
be invalid.
