2011-11-28virtio: add and use virtio_set_featuresPaolo Bonzini
vdev->guest_features is not masking features that are not supported by the guest. Fix this by introducing a common wrapper to be used by all virtio bus implementations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-09-17trace: add virtio_set_status() trace eventStefan Hajnoczi
The virtio device lifecycle can be observed by looking at the sequence of set status operations. This is especially important for catching the reset operation (status value 0), which resets the device and all virtqueues.

2011-09-12block: Move BlockConf & friends from block_int.h to block.hMarkus Armbruster
It's convenience stuff for block device models, so block.h isn't the ideal home either, but better than block_int.h. Permits moving some #include "block_int.h" from device model .h into .c. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2011-03-28virtio-pci: fix bus master work around on loadMichael S. Tsirkin
Commit c81131db15dd1844d0db1d51f3cd7a105cfd2cf3 detects old guests by comparing virtio and PCI status. It attempts to do this on load, as well, but load_config callback in a binding is invoked too early and so the virtio status isn't set yet. We could add yet another callback to the binding, to invoke after load, but it seems easier to reuse the existing vmstate callback. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2011-03-21virtio-serial: Use a struct to pass config information from proxyAmit Shah
Instead of using a single variable to pass to the virtio_serial_init function, use a struct so that expanding the number of variables to be passed on later is easier. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>
2011-02-01vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guestsmst@redhat.com
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in the same thread. We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd, for now disable vhost-net in these configurations. Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-01-10virtio-pci: Use ioeventfd for virtqueue notifyStefan Hajnoczi
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 Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2011-01-10virtio: move vmstate change tracking to coreMichael S. Tsirkin

2010-10-07virtio: change set guest notifier to per-deviceMichael S. Tsirkin
When using irqfd with vhost-net to inject interrupts, a single evenfd might inject multiple interrupts. Implementing this is much easier with a single per-device callback to set guest notifiers. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2010-09-07virtio-net: Make tx_timer timeout configurableAlex Williamson
Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device option. The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable, but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to adjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer option.

2010-02-10block: add topology qdev propertiesChristoph Hellwig
Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays or SSDs. The options are: - physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device, this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many modern storage devices - min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact, this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays. - opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is typically the RAID stripe width for arrays. I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration. Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only uses the physical block exponent. To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever. Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and 8k optimal I/O size: -drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192 aliguori: updated patch to take into account BLOCK events Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2010-01-20virtio-console: qdev conversion, new virtio-serial-busAmit Shah
This commit converts the virtio-console device to create a new virtio-serial bus that can host console and generic serial ports. The file hosting this code is now called virtio-serial-bus.c. The virtio console is now a very simple qdev device that sits on the virtio-serial-bus and communicates between the bus and qemu's chardevs. This commit also includes a few changes to the virtio backing code for pci and s390 to spawn the virtio-serial bus. As a result of the qdev conversion, we get rid of a lot of legacy code. The old-style way of instantiating a virtio console using -virtioconsole ... is maintained, but the new, preferred way is to use -device virtio-serial -device virtconsole,chardev=... With this commit, multiple devices as well as multiple ports with a single device can be supported. For multiple ports support, each port gets an IO vq pair. Since the guest needs to know in advance how many vqs a particular device will need, we have to set this number as a property of the virtio-serial device and also as a config option. In addition, we also spawn a pair of control IO vqs. This is an internal channel meant for guest-host communication for things like port open/close, sending port properties over to the guest, etc. This commit is a part of a series of other commits to get the full implementation of multiport support. Future commits will add other support as well as ride on the savevm version that we bump up here. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2010-01-11virtio: add features as qdev propertiesMichael S. Tsirkin
Add feature bits as properties to virtio. This makes it possible to e.g. define machine without indirect buffer support, which is required for 0.10 compatibility, or without hardware checksum support, which is required for 0.11 compatibility. Since default values for optional features are now set by qdev, get_features callback has been modified: it sets non-optional bits, and clears bits not supported by host. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2009-08-10qdev-ify virtio-blk.Gerd Hoffmann
First user of the new drive property. With this patch applied host and guest config can be specified separately, like this: -drive if=none,id=disk1,file=/path/to/disk.img -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1 You can set any property for virtio-blk-pci now. You can set the pci address via addr=. You can switch the device into 0.10 compat mode using class=0x0180. As this is per device you can have one 0.10 and one 0.11 virtio block device in a single virtual machine. Old syntax continues to work. Internally it does the same as the two lines above though. One side effect this has is a different initialization order, which might result in a different pci address being assigned by default. Long term plan here is to have this working for all block devices, i.e. once all scsi is properly qdev-ified you will be able to do something like this: -drive if=none,id=sda,file=/path/to/disk.img -device lsi,id=lsi,addr=<pciaddr> -device scsi-disk,drive=sda,bus=lsi.0,lun=<n> Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Message-Id:

2009-06-22virtio: add support for indirect ring entriesMark McLoughlin
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.
