vring_create_virtqueue() allows the caller to specify via the
may_reduce_num parameter whether the vring code is allowed to
allocate a smaller ring than specified.
However, the split ring allocation code tries to allocate a
smaller ring on allocation failure regardless of what the
caller specified. This may cause trouble for e.g. virtio-pci
in legacy mode, which does not support ring resizing. (The
packed ring code does not resize in any case.)
Let's fix this by bailing out immediately in the split ring code
if the requested size cannot be allocated and may_reduce_num has
not been specified.
While at it, fix a typo in the usage instructions.

This function returns the maximum segment size for a single
dma transaction of a virtio device. The possible limit comes
from the SWIOTLB implementation in the Linux kernel, that
has an upper limit of (currently) 256kb of contiguous
memory it can map. Other DMA-API implementations might also
have limits.
Use the new dma_max_mapping_size() function to determine the
maximum mapping size when DMA-API is in use for virtio.

This patch introduces the support for VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM.
If this feature is negotiated, the driver must use the barriers
suitable for hardware devices. Otherwise, the device and driver
are assumed to be implemented in software, that is they can be
assumed to run on identical CPUs in an SMP configuration. Thus
a weaker form of memory barriers is sufficient to yield better
performance.
It is recommended that an add-in card based PCI device offers
this feature for portability. The device will fail to operate
further or will operate in a slower emulation mode if this
feature is offered but not accepted.

This reverts commit c7070619f3.
This has been shown to regress on some ARM systems:
by forcing on DMA API usage for ARM systems, we have inadvertently
kicked open a hornets' nest in terms of cache-coherency. Namely that
unless the virtio device is explicitly described as capable of coherent
DMA by firmware, the DMA APIs on ARM and other DT-based platforms will
assume it is non-coherent. This turns out to cause a big problem for the
likes of QEMU and kvmtool, which generate virtio-mmio devices in their
guest DTs but neglect to add the often-overlooked "dma-coherent"
property; as a result, we end up with the guest making non-cacheable
accesses to the vring, the host doing so cacheably, both talking past
each other and things going horribly wrong.
We are working on a safer work-around.

<system hangs failing to read partition table>
This is because the legacy virtio-blk device is behind an SMMU, so we
have consequently swizzled its DMA ops and configured the SMMU to
translate accesses. This then requires the vring code to use the DMA API
to establish translations, otherwise all transactions will result in
fatal faults and termination.
Given that ARM-based systems only see an SMMU if one is really present
(the topology is all described by firmware tables such as device-tree or
IORT), then we can safely use the DMA API for all legacy virtio devices.
Modern devices can advertise the prescense of an IOMMU using the
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM feature flag.

The interaction between virtio and IOMMUs is messy.
On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses,
and it doesn't particularly matter which one we use to program
the device.
On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device
that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must program the IOMMU
for virtio DMA to work at all.
On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are
enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host
ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't
there or somehow map everything as the identity.
Add a feature bit to detect that quirk: VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.
Any device with this feature bit set to 0 needs a quirk and has to be
passed physical addresses (as opposed to bus addresses) even though
the device is behind an IOMMU.
Note: it has to be a per-device quirk because for example, there could
be a mix of passed-through and virtual virtio devices. As another
example, some devices could be implemented by an out of process
hypervisor backend (in case of qemu vhost, or vhost-user) and so support
for an IOMMU needs to be coded up separately.
It would be cleanest to handle this in IOMMU core code, but that needs
per-device DMA ops. While we are waiting for that to be implemented, use
a work-around in virtio core.
Note: a "noiommu" feature is a quirk - add a wrapper to make
that clear.

less than PAGE_SIZE. It won't happen in real life, but we're getting

what value it holds with static analysis.

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor)
physical addresses of its I/O buffers. This is okay when DMA
addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't
always the case. For example, this never works on Xen guests, and
it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up
behind an IOMMU or swiotlb.
The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests.
For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation
as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another
driver.

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
lowmem") tried to exclude highmem pages for descriptors so it cleared
__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.

The virtqueue_add() calls START_USE() upon entry. The virtqueue_kick() is
called if vq->num_added == (1 << 16) - 1 before calling END_USE().
The virtqueue_kick_prepare() called via virtqueue_kick() calls START_USE()
upon entry, and will call panic() if DEBUG is enabled.
Move this virtqueue_kick() call to after END_USE() call.

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.

Use virtioXX_to_cpu and friends for access to
all multibyte structures in memory.
Note: this is intentionally mechanical.
A follow-up patch will split long lines etc.

It seemed like a good idea to use bitmap for features
in struct virtio_device, but it's actually a pain,
and seems to become even more painful when we get more
than 32 feature bits. Just change it to a u32 for now.
Based on patch by Rusty.

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.
