Great to know that. Thanks a lot! :)

Hello everyone,

This RFC implements packed ring support in virtio driver.

Some simple functional tests have been done with Jason's
packed ring implementation in vhost (RFC v4):

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/16/501

Both of ping and netperf worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX
disabled. Ping worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX enabled,
but netperf didn't (A hack has been added in the driver
to make netperf test pass in this case. The hack can be
found by `grep -rw XXX` in the code).


Looks like this is because a bug in vhost which wrongly track 
signalled_used and may miss an interrupt. After fixing that, both side 
works like a charm.


I'm testing vIOMMU and zerocopy, and will post a new version shortly. 
(Hope it would be the last RFC version).


Thanks


[RFC v5 0/5] virtio: support packed ring

2018-05-22 Thread Tiwei Bie
Hello everyone,

This RFC implements packed ring support in virtio driver.

Some simple functional tests have been done with Jason's
packed ring implementation in vhost (RFC v4):

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/16/501

Both of ping and netperf worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX
disabled. Ping worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX enabled,
but netperf didn't (A hack has been added in the driver
to make netperf test pass in this case. The hack can be
found by `grep -rw XXX` in the code).

TODO:
- Refinements (for code and commit log);
- More tests;
- Bug fixes;

RFC v4 -> RFC v5:
- Save DMA addr, etc in desc state (Jason);
- Track used wrap counter;

RFC v3 -> RFC v4:
- Make ID allocation support out-of-order (Jason);
- Various fixes for EVENT_IDX support;

RFC v2 -> RFC v3:
- Split into small patches (Jason);
- Add helper virtqueue_use_indirect() (Jason);
- Just set id for the last descriptor of a list (Jason);
- Calculate the prev in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Fix/improve desc suppression code (Jason/MST);
- Refine the code layout for XXX_split/packed and wrappers (MST);
- Fix the comments and API in uapi (MST);
- Remove the BUG_ON() for indirect (Jason);
- Some other refinements and bug fixes;

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Add indirect descriptor support - compile test only;
- Add event suppression supprt - compile test only;
- Move vring_packed_init() out of uapi (Jason, MST);
- Merge two loops into one in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Split vring_unmap_one() for packed ring and split ring (Jason);
- Avoid using '%' operator (Jason);
- Rename free_head -> next_avail_idx (Jason);
- Add comments for virtio_wmb() in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Some other refinements and bug fixes;

Thanks!
