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:
(w/o shadowing):
Performance counter stats for './vring_bench':
5,451,082,016 L1-dcache-loads
...
2.221477739 seconds time elapsed
(w/ shadowing):
Performance counter stats for './vring_bench':
5,405,701,361 L1-dcache-loads
...
2.168405376 seconds time elapsed
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.

__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

The virtio core uses a static ida named virtio_index_ida for
assigning index numbers to virtio devices during registration.
The ida core may allocate some internal idr cache layers and
an ida bitmap upon any ida allocation, and all these layers are
truely freed only upon the ida destruction. The virtio_index_ida
is not destroyed at present, leading to a memory leak when using
the virtio core as a module and atleast one virtio device is
registered and unregistered.
Fix this by invoking ida_destroy() in the virtio core module
exit.

Balloon device is frequently used as a mean of cooperative memory control
in between guest and host to manage memory overcommitment. This is the
typical case for any hosting workload when KVM guest is provided for
end-user.
Though there is a problem in this setup. The end-user and hosting provider
have signed SLA agreement in which some amount of memory is guaranted for
the guest. The good thing is that this memory will be given to the guest
when the guest will really need it (f.e. with OOM in guest and with
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM configuration flag set). The bad thing
is that end-user does not know this.
Balloon by default reduce the amount of memory exposed to the end-user
each time when the page is stolen from guest or returned back by using
adjust_managed_page_count and thus /proc/meminfo shows reduced amount
of memory.
Fortunately the solution is simple, we should just avoid to call
adjust_managed_page_count with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM set.

The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE

- It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses

- Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was

2. The driver detect the device version (version 1 is the pre-OASIS
spec, version 2 is compatible with fist revision of the OASIS spec)
and drives the device accordingly.
3. New version uses direct addressing (64 bit address split into two
low/high register) instead of the guest page size based one,
and addresses each part of the queue (descriptors, available, used)
separately.
4. The device activity is now explicitly triggered by writing to the
"queue ready" register.

The reason we defer kfree until release function is because it's a

A struct device which has just been unregistered can live on past the
point at which a driver decides to drop it's initial reference to the
kobject gained on allocation.
This implies that when releasing a virtio device, we can't free a struct
virtio_device until the underlying struct device has been released,
which might not happen immediately on device_unregister().
Unfortunately, this is exactly what virtio pci does:
it has an empty release callback, and frees memory immediately
after unregistering the device.
This causes an easy to reproduce crash if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE
it enabled.
To fix, free the memory only once we know the device is gone in the release
callback.

Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost
Pull virtio fixes from Michael S Tsirkin:
"virtio 1.0 related fixes
Most importantly, this fixes using virtio_pci as a module.
Further, the big virtio 1.0 conversion missed a couple of places.
This fixes them up.
This isn't 100% sparse-clean yet because on many architectures
get_user triggers sparse warnings when used with __bitwise tag (when
same tag is on both pointer and value read).
I posted a patchset to fix it up by adding __force on all arches that
don't already have it (many do), when that's merged these warnings
will go away"
