* virtio: fix race in enable_cbChristian Borntraeger2008-03-171-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in virtio_net, dealing with disabling/enabling the callback. I saw the following oops: kernel BUG at /space/kvm/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:218! illegal operation: 0001 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: sunrpc dm_mod CPU: 2 Not tainted 2.6.25-rc1zlive-host-10623-gd358142-dirty #99 Process swapper (pid: 0, task: 000000000f85a610, ksp: 000000000f873c60) Krnl PSW : 0404300180000000 00000000002b81a6 (vring_disable_cb+0x16/0x20) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:3 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 0000000010005800 0000000000000001 000000000f3a0900 000000000f85a610 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000f870000 0000000000000000 0000000000001237 000000000f3a0920 000000000010ff74 00000000002846f6 000000000fa0bcd8 Krnl Code: 00000000002b819a: a7110001 tmll %r1,1 00000000002b819e: a7840004 brc 8,2b81a6 00000000002b81a2: a7f40001 brc 15,2b81a4 >00000000002b81a6: a51b0001 oill %r1,1 00000000002b81aa: 40102000 sth %r1,0(%r2) 00000000002b81ae: 07fe bcr 15,%r14 00000000002b81b0: eb7ff0380024 stmg %r7,%r15,56(%r15) 00000000002b81b6: a7f13e00 tmll %r15,15872 Call Trace: ([<000000000fa0bcd0>] 0xfa0bcd0) [<00000000002b8350>] vring_interrupt+0x5c/0x6c [<000000000010ab08>] do_extint+0xb8/0xf0 [<0000000000110716>] ext_no_vtime+0x16/0x1a [<0000000000107e72>] cpu_idle+0x1c2/0x1e0 The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic. I think its the following race: poll says netif_rx_complete poll calls enable_cb enable_cb opens the interrupt mask a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\ enable_cb sees that there is more work | enable_cb disables the interrupt | . V . interrupt is delivered . skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang! . poll would do napi check poll would do disable_cb The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

Now virtnet_open on cpu 2 managed to execute napi_enable and disable_cb but did not execute rx_schedule. Meanwhile on cpu 0 skb_recv_done was called by vring_interrupt, executed netif_rx_schedule_prep, which succeeded and therefore called disable_cb. This triggered the BUG_ON, as interrupts were already disabled by cpu 2. I think the proper solution is to make the call to disable_cb depend on the atomic update of NAPI_STATE_SCHED by using netif_rx_schedule_prep in the same way as skb_recv_done.

* virtio: reset functionRusty Russell2008-02-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

* virtio: populate network rings in the probe routine, not openRusty Russell2008-02-041-19/+25

* virtio: Tweak virtio_net definesRusty Russell2008-02-041-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

* virtio: Net header needs hdr_lenRusty Russell2008-02-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | It's far easier to deal with packets if we don't have to parse the packet to figure out the header length to know how much to pull into the skb data.

* virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.Rusty Russell2008-02-041-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell2008-02-041-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

The network driver uses two virtqueues: one for input packets and one for output packets. This has nice locking properties (ie. we don't do any for recv vs send).
