From: Pravin M Bathija <[email protected]> This is version v9 of the patchset and it incorporates the recommendations made by Stephen Hemminger.
Changes made to patch 3/5 - Restored max_guest_pages initial value to hardcoded 8 instead of VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS, matching upstream semantics. Changes made to patch 4/5 - Added close(reg->fd) and reg->fd = -1 before goto close_msg_fds in the mmap failure path to fix fd leak after fd was moved from ctx->fds[0]. - Converted dev_invalidate_vrings from a plain function to a macro + implementation function pair, accepting message ID as a parameter so the static_assert reports the correct handler at each call site. - Updated dev_invalidate_vrings call in add_mem_reg to pass VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG as message ID. - Updated dev_invalidate_vrings call in rem_mem_reg to pass VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG as message ID. This implementation has been extensively tested by doing Read/Write I/O from multiple instances of fio + libblkio (front-end) talking to spdk/dpdk (back-end) based drives. Tested with qemu front-end talking to dpdk testpmd (back-end) performing add/removal of memory regions. Also tested post-copy live migration after doing add_memory_region. Version Log: Version v9 (Current version): Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger as described above. Version v8: Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger. rewrite async_dma_map_region function to iterate guest pages by host address range matching change function dev_invalidate_vrings to accept a double pointer to propagate pointer updates new function remove_guest_pages was added add_mem_reg error path was narrowed to only clean up the single failed region instead of destroting all existing regions Version v7: Incorporate code review suggestions from Maxime Coquelin. Add debug messages to vhost_postcopy_register function. Version v6: Added the enablement of this feature as a final patch in this patch-set and other code optimizations as suggested by Maxime Coquelin. Version v5: removed the patch that increased the number of memory regions from 8 to 128. This will be submitted as a separate feature at a later point after incorporating additional optimizations. Also includes code optimizations as suggested by Feng Cheng Wen. Version v4: code optimizations as suggested by Feng Cheng Wen. Version v3: code optimizations as suggested by Maxime Coquelin and Thomas Monjalon. Version v2: code optimizations as suggested by Maxime Coquelin. Version v1: Initial patch set. Pravin M Bathija (5): vhost: add user to mailmap and define to vhost hdr vhost_user: header defines for add/rem mem region vhost_user: support function defines for back-end vhost_user: Function defs for add/rem mem regions vhost_user: enable configure memory slots .mailmap | 1 + lib/vhost/rte_vhost.h | 4 + lib/vhost/vhost_user.c | 403 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- lib/vhost/vhost_user.h | 10 + 4 files changed, 375 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
