2016-10-28iothread: release AioContext around aio_pollPaolo Bonzini
This is the first step towards having fine-grained critical sections in dataplane threads, which will resolve lock ordering problems between address_space_* functions (which need the BQL when doing MMIO, even after we complete RCU-based dispatch) and the AioContext. Because AioContext does not use contention callbacks anymore, the unit test has to be changed. Previously applied as a0710f7995f914e3044e5899bd8ff6c43c62f916 and then reverted.

2016-08-09timer: set vm_clock disabled defaultGonglei
(commit 80dcfb8532ae76343109a48f12ba8ca1c505c179) Upon migration, the code use a timer based on vm_clock for 1ns in the future from post_load to do the event send in case host_connected differs between migration source and target. However, it's not guaranteed that the apic is ready to inject irqs into the guest, and the irq line remained high, resulting in any future interrupts going unnoticed by the guest as well. That's because 1) the migration coroutine is not blocked when it get EAGAIN while reading QEMUFile. 2) The vm_clock is enabled default currently, it doesn't rely on the calling of vm_start(), that means vm_clock timers can run before VCPUs are running. So, let's set the vm_clock disabled default, keep the initial intention of design for vm_clock timers. Meanwhile, change the test-aio usecase, using QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME instead of QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL as the block code does.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h, compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a similar job to this file and are under similar constraints." qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of 100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need. Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List. Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h, sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h comment quoted above similarly. This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on qapi-types.h shrinks only a little.

2015-07-22AioContext: fix broken ctx->dispatching optimizationPaolo Bonzini
This patch rewrites the ctx->dispatching optimization, which was the cause of some mysterious hangs that could be reproduced on aarch64 KVM only. The hangs were indirectly caused by aio_poll() and in particular by flash memory updates's call to blk_write(), which invokes aio_poll(). Fun stuff: they had an extremely short race window, so much that adding all kind of tracing to either the kernel or QEMU made it go away (a single printf made it half as reproducible). On the plus side, the failure mode (a hang until the next keypress) made it very easy to examine the state of the process with a debugger. And there was a very nice reproducer from Laszlo, which failed pretty often (more than half of the time) on any version of QEMU with a non-debug kernel; it also failed fast, while still in the firmware. So, it could have been worse. For some unknown reason they happened only with virtio-scsi, but that's not important. It's more interesting that they disappeared with io=native, making thread-pool.c a likely suspect for where the bug arose. thread-pool.c is also one of the few places which use bottom halves across threads, by the way. I hope that no other similar bugs exist, but just in case :) I am going to describe how the successful debugging went... Since the likely culprit was the ctx->dispatching optimization, which mostly affects bottom halves, the first observation was that there are two qemu_bh_schedule() invocations in the thread pool: the one in the aio worker and the one in thread_pool_completion_bh. The latter always causes the optimization to trigger, the former may or may not. In order to restrict the possibilities, I introduced new functions qemu_bh_schedule_slow() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast(): /* qemu_bh_schedule_slow: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; if (atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1) == 0) { event_notifier_set(&ctx->notifier); } /* qemu_bh_schedule_fast: */ ctx = bh->ctx; bh->idle = 0; assert(ctx->dispatching); atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1); Notice how the atomic_xchg is still in qemu_bh_schedule_slow(). This was already debated a few months ago, so I assumed it to be correct. In retrospect this was a very good idea, as you'll see later. Changing thread_pool_completion_bh() to qemu_bh_schedule_fast() didn't trigger the assertion (as expected). Changing the worker's invocation to qemu_bh_schedule_slow() didn't hide the bug (another assumption which luckily held). This already limited heavily the amount of interaction between the threads, hinting that the problematic events must have triggered around thread_pool_completion_bh(). As mentioned early, invoking a debugger to examine the state of a hung process was pretty easy; the iothread was always waiting on a poll(..., -1) system call. Infinite timeouts are much rarer on x86, and this could be the reason why the bug was never observed there. With the buggy sequence more or less resolved to an interaction between thread_pool_completion_bh() and poll(..., -1), my "tracing" strategy was to just add a few qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME) calls, hoping that the ordering of aio_ctx_prepare(), aio_ctx_dispatch, poll() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast() would provide some hint. The output was: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 103885451 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 103876492 (gdb) p last_poll $5 = 115909333 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 115925212 Notice how the last call to qemu_poll_ns() came after aio_ctx_dispatch(). This makes little sense unless there is an aio_poll() call involved, and indeed with a slightly different instrumentation you can see that there is one: (gdb) p last_prepare $3 = 107569679 (gdb) p last_dispatch $4 = 107561600 (gdb) p last_aio_poll $5 = 110671400 (gdb) p last_schedule $6 = 110698917 So the scenario becomes clearer: iothread VCPU thread -------------------------------------------------------------------------- aio_ctx_prepare aio_ctx_check qemu_poll_ns(timeout=-1) aio_poll aio_dispatch thread_pool_completion_bh qemu_bh_schedule() At this point bh->scheduled = 1 and the iothread has not been woken up. The solution must be close, but this alone should not be a problem, because the bottom half is only rescheduled to account for rare situations (see commit 3c80ca1, thread-pool: avoid deadlock in nested aio_poll() calls, 2014-07-15). Introducing a third thread---a thread pool worker thread, which also does qemu_bh_schedule()---does bring out the problematic case. The third thread must be awakened *after* the callback is complete and thread_pool_completion_bh has redone the whole loop, explaining the short race window. And then this is what happens: thread pool worker -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <I/O completes> qemu_bh_schedule() Tada, bh->scheduled is already 1, so qemu_bh_schedule() does nothing and the iothread is never woken up. This is where the bh->scheduled optimization comes into play---it is correct, but removing it would have masked the bug. So, what is the bug? Well, the question asked by the ctx->dispatching optimization ("is any active aio_poll dispatching?") was wrong. The right question to ask instead is "is any active aio_poll *not* dispatching", i.e. in the prepare or poll phases? In that case, the aio_poll is sleeping or might go to sleep anytime soon, and the EventNotifier must be invoked to wake it up. In any other case (including if there is *no* active aio_poll at all!) we can just wait for the next prepare phase to pick up the event (e.g. a bottom half); the prepare phase will avoid the blocking and service the bottom half. Expressing the invariant with a logic formula, the broken one looked like: !(exists(thread): in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: !(exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize In the correct one, the negation is in a slightly different place: (exists(thread): in_aio_poll(thread) && !in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize or equivalently: (exists(thread): in_prepare_or_poll(thread)) => !optimize Even if the difference boils down to moving an exclamation mark :) the implementation is quite different. However, I think the new one is simpler to understand. In the old implementation, the "exists" was implemented with a boolean value. This didn't really support well the case of multiple concurrent event loops, but I thought that this was okay: aio_poll holds the AioContext lock so there cannot be concurrent aio_poll invocations, and I was just considering nested event loops. However, aio_poll _could_ indeed be concurrent with the GSource. This is why I came up with the wrong invariant. In the new implementation, "exists" is computed simply by counting how many threads are in the prepare or poll phases. There are some interesting points to consider, but the gist of the idea remains: 1) AioContext can be used through GSource as well; as mentioned in the patch, bit 0 of the counter is reserved for the GSource. 2) the counter need not be updated for a non-blocking aio_poll, because it won't sleep forever anyway. This is just a matter of checking the "blocking" variable. This requires some changes to the win32 implementation, but is otherwise not too complicated. 3) as mentioned above, the new implementation will not call aio_notify when there is *no* active aio_poll at all. The tests have to be adjusted for this change. The calls to aio_notify in async.c are fine; they only want to kick aio_poll out of a blocking wait, but need not do anything if aio_poll is not running. 4) nested aio_poll: these just work with the new implementation; when a nested event loop is invoked, the outer event loop is never in the prepare or poll phases. The outer event loop thus has already decremented the counter. Reported-by: Richard W. M.

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.

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.

2014-03-13aio: add aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release()Stefan Hajnoczi
It can be useful to run an AioContext from a thread which normally does not "own" the AioContext. For example, request draining can be implemented by acquiring the AioContext and looping aio_poll() until all requests have been completed. The following pattern should work: /* Event loop thread */ while (running) { aio_context_acquire(ctx); aio_poll(ctx, true); aio_context_release(ctx); } /* Another thread */ aio_context_acquire(ctx); bdrv_read(bs, 0x1000, buf, 1); aio_context_release(ctx); This patch implements aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release(). Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

2013-12-06aio: make aio_poll(ctx, true) block with no fdsStefan Hajnoczi
This patch drops a special case where aio_poll(ctx, true) returns false instead of blocking if no file descriptors are waiting on I/O. Now it is possible to block in aio_poll() to wait for aio_notify(). This change eliminates busy waiting. bdrv_drain_all() used to rely on busy waiting to completed throttled I/O requests but this is no longer required so we can simplify aio_poll(). Note that aio_poll() still returns false when aio_notify() was used. In other words, stopping a blocking aio_poll() wait is not considered making progress. Adjust test-aio /aio/bh/callback-delete/one which assumed aio_poll(ctx, true) would immediately return false instead of blocking.

2013-08-19aio: stop using .io_flush()Stefan Hajnoczi
Now that aio_poll() users check their termination condition themselves, it is no longer necessary to call .io_flush() handlers. The behavior of aio_poll() changes as follows: 1. .io_flush() is no longer invoked and file descriptors are *always* monitored. Previously returning 0 from .io_flush() would skip this file descriptor. Due to this change it is essential to check that requests are pending before calling qemu_aio_wait(). Failure to do so means we block, for example, waiting for an idle iSCSI socket to become readable when there are no requests. Currently all qemu_aio_wait()/aio_poll() callers check before calling. 2. aio_poll() now returns true if progress was made (BH or fd handlers executed) and false otherwise. Previously it would return true whenever 'busy', which means that .io_flush() returned true. The 'busy' concept no longer exists so just progress is returned. Due to this change we need to update tests/test-aio.c which asserts aio_poll() return values. Note that QEMU doesn't actually rely on these return values so only tests/test-aio.c cares. Note that ctx->notifier, the EventNotifier fd used for aio_notify(), is now handled as a special case. This is a little ugly but maintains aio_poll() semantics, i.e. aio_notify() does not count as 'progress' and aio_poll() avoids blocking when the user has not set any fd handlers yet. Patches after this remove .io_flush() handler code until we can finally drop the io_flush arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and friends.

2013-01-17aio: Fix return value of aio_poll()Kevin Wolf
aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed and the function didn't really drain all requests. In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so this change shouldn't cause any trouble.

2012-12-11tests: use aio_poll() instead of aio_flush() in test-aio.cStefan Hajnoczi
There has been confusion between various aio wait and flush functions. It's time to get rid of qemu_aio_flush() but in the aio test cases we really do want this low-level functionality. Therefore declare a local wait_for_aio() helper for the test cases. Drop the aio_flush() test case.
