7e85ee0c1d slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:

  Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
  a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
  grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
  even then you'll be missing some.

  For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
  early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
  mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
  using that to do the test.

Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

b60da13fc7 lguest: suppress notifications in example Launcher
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.

So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.

There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

4a8962e21b lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receive
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).

However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds.  It's close to the noise though.

I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

// time tcpblast -o -s 65536 -c 16k 192.168.2.1:9999 > /dev/null

95c517c09b lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs.
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
need to interrupt the Guest.  This happens as a side effect of
spurious notifications.

Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.

A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

38bc2b8c56 lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example Launcher
Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one.  The console
input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
interrupts to the Guest at the right time.

The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.

In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
(1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
(2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

Before:				Secs	RxIRQS	TxIRQs
 1G TCP Guest->Host:		3.72	32784	32771
 1M normal pings:		99	1000004	995541

 1M normal pings:		99	1000004	996196

659a0e6633 lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threads
Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
was simply too painful to bear).

The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.

Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
device again.

Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
interrupts in the Guest directly.

The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it
home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before:

* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher
* Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring
* Launcher writes packet to TUN device
	writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108

	write(10, "\2\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 8) = 0
* Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation
	setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 505}}, NULL) = 0
* Launcher re-runs guest
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ...
* Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select)
	select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of guest:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher returns from running guest:
	... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks at input fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads pong from tun device:
	readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108
* Launcher injects guest notification:
	write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0
* Launcher rechecks fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher reruns Guest:
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
* Signal comes in, uses pipe to wake up Launcher:
	--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
	write(8, "\0", 1)       = 1
	sigreturn()             = ? (mask now [])
* Waker sees write on pipe:
	select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [6])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of Guest:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher exits from kernel:
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks to see what fd woke it:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [6], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads timeout fd, sets notification flag on xmit ring
	read(6, "\0", 32)       = 1
* Launcher rechecks fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher resumes Guest:
	pread64(10, "\0p\0\4", 4, 0) ....

strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping after:

* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, creates event on eventfd.
* Network xmit thread wakes from read on eventfd:
	read(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)          = 8
* Network xmit thread writes packet to TUN device
	writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"J\217\232FI\37j\27\375\276\0\304\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108

df60aeef4f lguest: use eventfds for device notification
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

9f155a9b3d lguest: allow any process to send interrupts
We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.

As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
main Launcher process.

The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of

61f4bc83fe lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers.  In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.

The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

a32a8813d0 lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networking
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked.  However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!

Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		30.7 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	76.0 seconds

abd41f037e lguest: fix race in halt code
When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.

But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

ebf9a5a99c lguest: remove invalid interrupt forcing logic.
2088761152 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced
lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on
interrupts all the time.

Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0
when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from
the Guest.

It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue:
if it's empty, then we force an interrupt.

This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but
that's the subject of another patch.

9fa29b9df3 virtio: indirect ring entries (VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC)
Add 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.
