To prepare for virtio_ring transport feature bits, hook in a call in
all the users to manipulate them. This currently just clears all the
bits, since it doesn't understand any features.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just
hand the virtio_device and have it set the features. This make it clear
that it has the chance to manipulate the features of the device at this
point (and that all feature negotiation is already done).

We assign feature bits as required, but it makes sense to reserve some
for the particular transport, rather than the particular device.

This patch exploits the new notifier callbacks of the hvc_console. We can

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..
I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.
I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.
Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause
trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size
(like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd).
Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector
size than 512 byte.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at
the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
immediately.
Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds
to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
outgoing parts of the new buffer.
Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:
Before:
network xmit 7859051 recv 236420
After:
network xmit 7858610 recv 118136

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)
How about the incremental patch below?
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.
