Looking into it with V=1, $(src) defines to "" and including /external-module-compat.h clearly fails. I fixed it like below, because it seems more consistent to enforce the ordering of the "special" includes in the same place, notably $(src)/include is already included as $LINUX at point 1 of the comment, so this looks a cleanup of superflous line in Kconfig besides fixing my compile by moving the external-module-compat in the same place with the other includes where `pwd` works instead of $(src) that doesn't work anymore for whatever reason.

You can't cheat on all guests, and even on Linux, it's better to keep on doing what real hardware does than go off on a tangent than no one else uses. You'll have to cheat on ->kick(), too. Virtio needs one exit per O(queue depth).

I agree, but I think that indirect sg is very important for storage: - a long sg list is cheap from the disk's point of view (the seeks are what's expensive) - it is important to keep the queue depth meaningful and small (O(spindles * 3)), as it drastically affects latency -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Yes. More precisely, let's not do it until we're sure it works and performs. I don't think a queue-per-disk approach will perform well, since the queue will always be very short and will not be able to amortize exit costs and ring management overhead very well. >> - it requires a large number of interrupts, which are difficult to >> provide, and which it is hard to ensure all OSes support.

That's problematic for these reasons: - how many OSes work well with 32 IOAPICs? - at one point, you run out of interrupt vectors (~ 220 per cpu if the OS can allocate per-cpu vectors; otherwise just ~220) - you will have many interrupts fired, each for a single device with a few requests, reducing performance >> - is only a few interrupts are available, then each interrupt requires >> scanning a large number of queues > > This case should be rare, basically only existent with OSs that don't > support APIC properly. > Hopefully. >> The alternative approach of having the virtio block device control up to >> 16 disks allows having those 80 disks with just 5 slots (and 5 >> interrupts).

Maybe someone can raise a case where it's not virtblk / > virtnet. The requirement for lots of storage is a given. There are two ways of doing that, paying a lot of money to EMC or NetApp for a storage controller, or connecting lots of disks directly and doing the storage controller on the OS (what EMC and NetApp do anyway, inside their boxes). zfs is a good example of a use case, and I'd guess databases could use this too if they were able to supply the redundancy. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Do you see any problems? You can remove the flag and ->release and ->clear_flush_young (if you keep clear_flush_young implemented it should return 0). The synchronize_rcu after mmu_notifier_register can also be dropped thanks to mm_lock(). gru_drop_mmu_notifier should be careful with current->mm if you're using an fd and if the fd can be passed to a different task through unix sockets (you should probably fail any operation if current->mm != gru->mm). The way I use ->release in KVM is to set the root hpa to -1UL (invalid) as a debug trap. That's only for debugging because even if tlb entries and sptes are still established on the secondary mmu they are only relevant when the cpu jumps to guest mode and that can never happen again after exit_mmap is started. > I should also mention that I have an open-coded function that possibly > belongs in mmu_notifier.c.

Are you sure you want to search for mn->ops == gru_mmuops and not for mn == gmn? And if you search for mn why can't you keep track of the mn being registered or unregistered outside of the mmu_notifier layer? Set a bitflag in the container after mmu_notifier_register returns and a clear it after _unregister returns. I doubt saving one bitflag is worth searching the list and your approach make it obvious that you've to protect the bitflag and the register/unregister under write-mmap_sem yourself. Otherwise the find function will return an object that can be freed at any time if somebody calls unregister and kfree.

Ok, see it too. Seem to be actually two (maybe related) problems. First the guest hangs hard after a while, burning 100% CPU time (deadlocked I guess), doesn't respond to sysrq any more. Is there some easy way to get the guest vcpu state then? EIP for starters, preferably with stack trace? The other one is that one ticks slower than the other.

[kvm-devel] [PATCH] fixup 3dnow! support
qemu recently added support for 3dnow instructions. Because of that, 3dnow will be featured among cpuid bits. But this will break kvm in cpus that don't have those instructions (which includes my laptop). So we fixup our cpuid before exposing it to the guest.

[kvm-devel] mmu notifier v15 -> v16 diff
Hello everyone, This is to allow GRU code to call __mmu_notifier_register inside the mmap_sem (write mode is required as documented in the patch). It also removes the requirement to implement ->release as it's not guaranteed all users will really need it.

It looks like you're trying to pre-fault the page in? gfn_to_pfn will do that for you. You're taking a bunch of references here that are never getting released. I think the general approach here is a bit faulty. I think what we want to do is mlock() from userspace to ensure all the memory is present for the guest. We should combine this with MMU-notifiers such that whenever the userspace mapping changes, we can reprogram the IOMMU. In the case where

It should not fault in pages that aren't present and we should provide notifications for when the mapping changes for a given reason.

A kernel header including a userspace header? > > Maybe you need to include unconditionally? Hi, Avi You know, kvm.h is shared by userspace and kernel. But unfortunately, the usersapce header files have redefinition for one strucutre (structure ia64_fpreg) {One in asm/fpu.h and the other one in bits/sigcontext}, maybe a bug here. Therefore, if userspace code includes fpu.h and sigcontext.h in one source file, it will complain the redefinition. Do you have good idea to cope with this issue ?
