Commit b1f416aa8d870fab71030abc9401cfc77b948e8e breaks vhost_net
because it always registers the virtio_pci_host_notifier_read() handler
function on the ioeventfd, even when vhost_net.ko is using the ioeventfd.
The result is both QEMU and vhost_net.ko polling on the same eventfd
and the virtio_net.ko guest driver seeing inconsistent results:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
virtio_net virtio0: output:id 0 is not a head!
To fix this, proceed the same as we do for irqfd: add a parameter to
virtio_queue_set_host_notifier_fd_handler and in that case only set
the notifier, not the handler.

All transports can use the same event handler for the irqfd, though the
exact mechanics of the assignment will be specific. Note that there
are three states: handled by the kernel, handled in userspace, disabled.
This also lets virtio use event_notifier_set_handler.

virtio has the equivalent of:
if (vq->last_avail_index != vring_avail_idx(vq)) {
read descriptor head at vq->last_avail_index;
}
In theory, processor can reorder descriptor head
read to happen speculatively before the index read.
this would trigger the following race:
host descriptor head read <- reads invalid head from ring
guest writes valid descriptor head
guest writes avail index
host avail index read <- observes valid index
as a result host will use an invalid head value.
This was not observed in the field by me but after
the experience with the previous two races
I think it is prudent to address this theoretical race condition.

This fixes an issue dual to the one fixed by
patch 'virtio: add missing mb() on notification'
and applies on top.
In this case, to enable vq kick to exit to host,
qemu writes out used flag then reads the
avail index. if these are reordered we get a race:
host avail index read: ring is empty
guest avail index write
guest flag read: exit disabled
host used flag write: enable exit
which results in a lost exit: host will never be notified about the
avail index update. Again, happens in the field but only seems to
trigger on some specific hardware.
Insert an smp_mb barrier operation to ensure the correct ordering.

During normal operation, virtio first writes a used index
and then checks whether it should interrupt the guest
by reading guest avail index/flag values.
Guest does the reverse: writes the index/flag,
then checks the used ring.
The ordering is important: if host avail flag read bypasses the used
index write, we could in effect get this timing:
host avail flag read
guest enable interrupts: avail flag write
guest check used ring: ring is empty
host used index write
which results in a lost interrupt: guest will never be notified
about the used ring update.
This actually can happen when using kvm with an io thread,
such that the guest vcpu and qemu run on different host cpus,
and this has actually been observed in the field
(but only seems to trigger on very specific processor types)
with userspace virtio: vhost has the necessary smp_mb()
in place to prevent the regordering, so the same workload stalls
forever waiting for an interrupt with vhost=off but works
fine with vhost=on.
Insert an smp_mb barrier operation in userspace virtio to
ensure the correct ordering.
Applying this patch fixed the race condition we have observed.
Tested on x86_64. I checked the code generated by the new macro
for i386 and ppc but didn't run virtio.
Note: mb could in theory be implemented by __sync_synchronize, but this
would make us hit old GCC bugs. Besides old GCC
not implementing __sync_synchronize at all, there were bugs
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36793
in this functionality as recently as in 4.3.
As we need asm for rmb,wmb anyway, it's just as well to
use it for mb.

When accessing the device specific virtio config space, we memcpy
the data into a variable in QEMU. At that point we're basically
pulling host endianness into the game which is a really bad idea.
So instead, let's use the target specific load/store helpers for
memory pointers which fetch things in target endianness. The whole
array is already populated in target endianness anyways
(see virtio-blk).

The virtio code uses wmb() macros in several places, as required by the
SMP-aware virtio protocol. However the wmb() macro is locally defined
to be a compiler barrier only. This is probably sufficient on x86
due to its strong storage ordering model, but it certainly isn't on other
platforms, such as ppc.
In any case, qemu already has some globally defined memory barrier macros
in qemu-barrier.h. This patch, therefore converts virtio.c to use those
barrier macros. The macros in qemu-barrier.h are also wrong (or at least,
safe for x86 only) but this way at least there's only one place to fix
them.

Today, when notifying a VM state change with vm_state_notify(),
we pass a VMSTOP macro as the 'reason' argument. This is not ideal
because the VMSTOP macros tell why qemu stopped and not exactly
what the current VM state is.
One example to demonstrate this problem is that vm_start() calls
vm_state_notify() with reason=0, which turns out to be VMSTOP_USER.
This commit fixes that by replacing the VMSTOP macros with a proper
state type called RunState.

The virtio_queue_notify() function checks that the virtqueue number is
less than the maximum number of virtqueues. A signed comparison is used
but the virtqueue number could be negative if a buggy or malicious guest
is run. This results in memory accesses outside of the virtqueue array.
It is risky doing input validation in common code instead of at the
guest<->host boundary. Note that virtio_queue_set_addr(),
virtio_queue_get_addr(), virtio_queue_get_num(), and many other virtio
functions do *not* validate the virtqueue number argument.
Instead of fixing the comparison in virtio_queue_notify(), move the
comparison to the virtio bindings (just like VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_SEL) where
we have a uint32_t value and can avoid ever calling into common virtio
code if the virtqueue number is invalid.

Virtqueue notify is currently handled synchronously in userspace virtio. This
prevents the vcpu from executing guest code while hardware emulation code
handles the notify.
On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make
virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the
iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to
how vhost receives virtqueue notifies.
The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices.
Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and
virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially.
Some virtio devices are known to have guest drivers which expect a notify to be
processed synchronously and spin waiting for completion.
For virtio-net, this also seems to interact with the guest stack in strange
ways so that TCP throughput for small message sizes (~200bytes)
is harmed. Only enable ioeventfd for virtio-blk for now.
Care must be taken not to interfere with vhost-net, which uses host
notifiers. If the set_host_notifier() API is used by a device
virtio-pci will disable virtio-ioeventfd and let the device deal with
host notifiers as it wishes.
Finally, there used to be a limit of 6 KVM io bus devices inside the
kernel. On such a kernel, don't use ioeventfd for virtqueue host
notification since the limit is reached too easily. This ensures that
existing vhost-net setups (which always use ioeventfd) have ioeventfds
available so they can continue to work.
After migration and on VM change state (running/paused) virtio-ioeventfd
will enable/disable itself.
* VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> enable virtio-ioeventfd
* !VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* virtio_pci_set_host_notifier() -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* vm_change_state(running=0) -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* vm_change_state(running=1) -> enable virtio-ioeventfd

Support a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.
