2021-07-21iothread: add aio-max-batch parameterStefano Garzarella
The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests. When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`, the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel. This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO engine queue. If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will use its default maximum batch size value.

2021-06-18async: the main AioContext is only "current" if under the BQLPaolo Bonzini
If we want to wake up a coroutine from a worker thread, aio_co_wake() currently does not work. In that scenario, aio_co_wake() calls aio_co_enter(), but there is no current AioContext and therefore qemu_get_current_aio_context() returns the main thread. aio_co_wake() then attempts to call aio_context_acquire() instead of going through aio_co_schedule(). The default case of qemu_get_current_aio_context() was added to cover synchronous I/O started from the vCPU thread, but the main and vCPU threads are quite different. The main thread is an I/O thread itself, only running a more complicated event loop; the vCPU thread instead is essentially a worker thread that occasionally calls qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(). It is only in those critical sections that it acts as if it were the home thread of the main AioContext. Therefore, this patch detaches qemu_get_current_aio_context() from iothreads, which is a useless complication. The AioContext pointer is stored directly in the thread-local variable, including for the main loop. Worker threads (including vCPU threads) optionally behave as temporary home threads if they have taken the big QEMU lock, but if that is not the case they will always schedule coroutines on remote threads via aio_co_schedule(). With this change, the stub qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() must be changed from true to false. The previous value of true was needed because the main thread did not have an AioContext in the thread-local variable, but now it does have one.

2020-09-23qemu/atomic.h: rename atomic_ to qatomic_Stefan Hajnoczi
clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file: $ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make ../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid) Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.

2020-07-10error: Eliminate error_propagate() with Coccinelle, part 1Markus Armbruster
When all we do with an Error we receive into a local variable is propagating to somewhere else, we can just as well receive it there right away.

The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming if (fun(args, &err)) { goto out } ... out: error_propagate(errp, err); even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate(). For an actual example, see sclp_realize(). Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(), incorrectly. I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that it helps here. The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err". For an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable(). Silently fails to convert hw/arm/armsse.c, because Coccinelle gets confused by ARMSSE being used both as typedef and function-like macro there. Converted manually. Line breaks tidied up manually. One nested declaration of @local_err deleted manually. Preexisting unwanted blank line dropped in hw/riscv/sifive_e.c.

2020-07-10error: Avoid unnecessary error_propagate() after error_setg()Markus Armbruster
Replace error_setg(&err, ...); error_propagate(errp, err); by error_setg(errp, ...); Related pattern: if (...) { error_setg(&err, ...); goto out; } ... out: error_propagate(errp, err); return; When all paths to label out are that way, replace by if (...) { error_setg(errp, ...); return; } and delete the label along with the error_propagate(). When we have at most one other path that actually needs to propagate, and maybe one at the end that where propagation is unnecessary, e.g. foo(..., &err); if (err) { goto out; } ... bar(..., &err); out: error_propagate(errp, err); return; move the error_propagate() to where it's needed, like if (...) { foo(..., &err); error_propagate(errp, err); return; } ... bar(..., errp); return; and transform the error_setg() as above. In some places, the transformation results in obviously unnecessary error_propagate(). The next few commits will eliminate them. Bonus: the elimination of gotos will make later patches in this series easier to review.

2020-05-15qom: Drop parameter @errp of object_property_add() & friendsMarkus Armbruster
The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with the same name already exists. Since our property names are all hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to handle it is passing &error_abort. Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is also under program control, so this is a programming error, too. We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass &error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers. The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring programming errors is a bad idea. Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API. The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(), sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize() are wrong that way. When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting users pick the argument is a bad idea. Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead. There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there. Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(), and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

2019-03-08iothread: create the gcontext unconditionallyPeter Xu
In existing code we create the gcontext dynamically at the first access of the gcontext from caller. That can bring some complexity and potential races during using iothread. Since the context itself is not that big a resource, and we won't have millions of iothread, let's simply create the gcontext unconditionally. This will also be a preparation work further to move the thread context push operation earlier than before (now it's only pushed right before we want to start running the gmainloop). Removing the g_once since it's not necessary, while introducing a new run_gcontext boolean to show whether we want to run the gcontext.

2018-03-08vl: introduce vm_shutdown()Stefan Hajnoczi
Commit 00d09fdbbae5f7864ce754913efc84c12fdf9f1a ("vl: pause vcpus before stopping iothreads") and commit dce8921b2baaf95974af8176406881872067adfa ("iothread: Stop threads before main() quits") tried to work around the fact that emulation was still active during termination by stopping iothreads. They suffer from race conditions: 1. virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_vq() racing with iothread_stop_all() hits the virtio_scsi_ctx_check() assertion failure because the BDS AioContext has been modified by iothread_stop_all(). 2. Guest vq kick racing with main loop termination leaves a readable ioeventfd that is handled by the next aio_poll() when external clients are enabled again, resulting in unwanted emulation activity. This patch obsoletes those commits by fully disabling emulation activity when vcpus are stopped. Use the new vm_shutdown() function instead of pause_all_vcpus() so that vm change state handlers are invoked too. Virtio devices will now stop their ioeventfds, preventing further emulation activity after vm_stop(). Note that vm_stop(RUN_STATE_SHUTDOWN) cannot be used because it emits a QMP STOP event that may affect existing clients. It is no longer necessary to call replay_disable_events() directly since vm_shutdown() does so already. Drop iothread_stop_all() since it is no longer used.

IOThread: while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) -> stopping=false 2. Main loop: iothread->stopping = true; aio_notify(iothread->ctx); 3. IOThread: aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true); -> hang The bug is explained by the AioContext->notify_me doc comments: "If this field is 0, everything (file descriptors, bottom halves, timers) will be re-evaluated before the next blocking poll(), thus the event_notifier_set call can be skipped." The problem is that "everything" does not include checking iothread->stopping. This means iothread_run() will block in aio_poll() if aio_notify() was called just before aio_poll(). This patch fixes the hang by replacing aio_notify() with aio_bh_schedule_oneshot(). This makes aio_poll() or g_main_loop_run() to return. Implementing this properly required a new bool running flag. The new flag prevents races that are tricky if we try to use iothread->stopping. Now iothread->stopping is purely for iothread_stop() and iothread->running is purely for the iothread_run() thread.

2017-10-03iothread: delay the context release to finalizePeter Xu
When gcontext is used with iothread, the context will be destroyed during iothread_stop(). That's not good since sometimes we would like to keep the resources until iothread is destroyed, but we may want to stop the thread before that point. Delay the destruction of gcontext to iothread finalize. Then we can do: iothread_stop(thread); some_cleanup_on_resources(); iothread_destroy(thread); We may need this patch if we want to run chardev IOs in iothreads and hopefully clean them up correctly.

IOThread AioContexts are likely to consist only of event sources like virtqueue ioeventfds and LinuxAIO completion eventfds that are pollable from userspace (without system calls). We recently merged the AioContext polling feature but didn't enable it by default yet. I have gone back over the performance data on the mailing list and picked a default polling value that gave good results. Let's enable AioContext polling by default so users don't have another switch they need to set manually. If performance regressions are found we can still disable this for the QEMU 2.9 release.

2017-01-03aio: self-tune polling timeStefan Hajnoczi
This patch is based on the algorithm for the kvm.ko halt_poll_ns parameter in Linux. The initial polling time is zero. If the event loop is woken up within the maximum polling time it means polling could be effective, so grow polling time. If the event loop is woken up beyond the maximum polling time it means polling is not effective, so shrink polling time. If the event loop makes progress within the current polling time then the sweet spot has been reached. This algorithm adjusts the polling time so it can adapt to variations in workloads. The goal is to reach the sweet spot while also recognizing when polling would hurt more than help. Two new trace events, poll_grow and poll_shrink, are added for observing polling time adjustment.

2014-09-22async: aio_context_new(): Handle event_notifier_init failureChrysostomos Nanakos
On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any error information to the user. The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit. The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of open files. This commit adds an error message on failure: # qemu [...] -object iothread,id=iothread0 -object iothread,id=iothread1 qemu: Failed to initialize event notifier: Too many open files in system Signed-off-by: Chrysostomos Nanakos <cnanakos@grnet.gr> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2014-07-14AioContext: do not rely on aio_poll(ctx, true) result to end a loopPaolo Bonzini
Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true) will not block. This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently; and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration. All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however: - we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll, similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait - it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext is released between an aio_notify and the next time the iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping the dataplane thread. In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c, which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.
