The max number of hardware queues for xen/blkfront is set by parameter
'max_queues'(default 4), while it is also capped by the max value that the
xen/blkback exposes through XenStore key 'multi-queue-max-queues'.
The negotiated number is the smaller one and would be written back to xenstore
as "multi-queue-num-queues", blkback needs to read this negotiated number.

After patch "xen/blkfront: separate per ring information out of device
info", per-ring data is protected by a per-device lock ('io_lock').
This is not a good way and will effect the scalability, so introduce a
per-ring lock ('ring_lock').
The old 'io_lock' is renamed to 'dev_lock' which protects the ->grants list and
->persistent_gnts_c which are shared by all rings.
Note that in 'blkfront_probe' the 'blkfront_info' is setup via kzalloc
so setting ->persistent_gnts_c to zero is not needed.

patch "xen/blkfront: negotiate number of queues/rings to be used with backend"
so as to make review easier.
Note that blkfront_gather_backend_features does not call

Split per ring information to a new structure "blkfront_ring_info".
A ring is the representation of a hardware queue, every vbd device can associate
with one or more rings depending on how many hardware queues/rings to be used.
This patch is a preparation for supporting real multi hardware queues/rings.
We also add a backpointer to 'struct blkfront_info' (dev_info) which
is not needed (we could use containers_of) but further patch
("xen/blkfront: pseudo support for multi hardware queues/rings")
will make allocation of 'blkfront_ring_info' dynamic.

The PV block protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity using block
device on a non-modified Xen.
The block API is using segment which should at least be the size of a
Linux page. Therefore, the driver will have to break the page in chunk
of 4K before giving the page to the backend.
When breaking a 64KB segment in 4KB chunks, it is possible that some
chunks are empty. As the PV protocol always require to have data in the
chunk, we have to count the number of Xen page which will be in use and
avoid sending empty chunks.
Note that, a pre-defined number of grants are reserved before preparing
the request. This pre-defined number is based on the number and the
maximum size of the segments. If each segment contains a very small
amount of data, the driver may reserve too many grants (16 grants is
reserved per segment with 64KB page granularity).
Furthermore, in the case of persistent grants we allocate one Linux page
per grant although only the first 4KB of the page will be effectively
in use. This could be improved by sharing the page with multiple grants.

Prepare the code to support 64KB page granularity. The first
implementation will use a full Linux page per indirect and persistent
grant. When non-persistent grant is used, each page of a bio request
may be split in multiple grant.
Furthermore, the field page of the grant structure is only used to copy
data from persistent grant or indirect grant. Avoid to set it for other
use case as it will have no meaning given the page will be split in
multiple grant.

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.
For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.
For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.
Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.
Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

When we are using persistent grants the indirect_pages list

"drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to connect_ring"
exposed an problem that Xen blkfront has. There is a race
with XenStored and the drivers such that we can see two:
vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 4.
state changes to XenbusStateInitWait ('2'). The end result is that
blkback_changed() receives two notify and calls twice setup_blkring().
While the backend driver may only get the first setup_blkring() which is
wrong and reads out-dated (or reads them as they are being updated
with new ring-ref values).
The end result is that the ring ends up being incorrectly set.
The other drivers in the tree have such checks already in.

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.
Changes in v5:
- Clarify with 4k granularity to comment
- Address more comments from Roger

The major responsibility of talk_to_blkback() is allocate and initialize
the request ring and write the ring info to xenstore.
But this work should be done after backend entered 'XenbusStateInitWait' as
defined in the protocol file.
See xen/include/public/io/blkif.h in XEN git tree:

o Publish backend features and
transport parameters.

XenbusStateInitWait
o Query backend features and
transport parameters.
o Allocate and initialize the
request ring.
There is no problem with this yet, but it is an violation of the design and
furthermore it would not allow frontend/backend to negotiate 'multi-page'
and 'multi-queue' features.

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.

Current migration code uses blk_put_request in order to finish a request
before requeuing it. This function doesn't update the statistics of the
queue, which completely screws accounting. Use blk_end_request_all instead
which properly updates the statistics of the queue.

flush_op is unambiguously defined by feature_flush:
REQ_FUA | REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE
0 -> 0
and thus can be removed. This is just a cleanup.

Guard against issuing unsupported REQ_FUA and REQ_FLUSH was introduced
in d11e61583 and was factored out into blkif_request_flush_valid() in
0f1ca65ee. However:
1) This check in incomplete. In case we negotiated to feature_flush = REQ_FLUSH
and flush_op = BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE (so FUA is unsupported) FUA request
will still pass the check.
2) blkif_request_flush_valid() is misnamed. It is bool but returns true when
the request is invalid.
3) When blkif_request_flush_valid() fails -EIO is being returned. It seems that
-EOPNOTSUPP is more appropriate here.
Fix all of the above issues.

which has a bunch of fixes to the Xen block frontend and backend driver
and a new parameter for Xen backend driver - an override (set by the toolstack)
whether to expose the discard support (if disk of course supports it) or not.
In its initial implementation a check for "type" was added, but only phy
and file are handled. This breaks advertised discard support for other
type values such as qdisk.
Fix and simplify this function: If the backend advertises discard
support it is supposed to implement it properly, so enable
feature_discard unconditionally. If the backend advertises the need for
a certain granularity and alignment then propagate both properties to
the blocklayer. The discard-secure property is a boolean, update the code
to reflect that.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.
Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

The patches are all bug-fixes and hopefully can go in 3.14.
They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks
as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you
are OK with I will ask them to backport those fixes.
There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state
transition. And lastly a fix to the header where it was using the
__aligned__ unnecessarily.
Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is
CLOSED. If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the
frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown.
So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)
which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:
xen_platform_pci=0
(in the guest config file)
or
xen_emul_unplug=never
(on the Linux command line)
except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers

which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
PV driver check for:
- if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
native environment).
- if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
- if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
- (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
Ditto for the network one ('nics').
- (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.
