Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the lock field from the vmbus_channel struct

2020-06-20T09:16:19Z

The spinlock is (now) *not used to protect test-and-set accesses to attributes of the structure or sc_list operations. There is, AFAICT, a distinct lack of {WRITE,READ}_ONCE()s in the handling of channel->state, but the changes below do not seem to make things "worse". ;-) Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri (Microsoft) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200617164642.37393-9-parri.andrea@gmail.com Reviewed-by: Michael Kelley Signed-off-by: Wei Liu

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Resolve more races involving init_vp_index()

2020-05-23T09:07:00Z

init_vp_index() uses the (per-node) hv_numa_map[] masks to record the CPUs allocated for channel interrupts at a given time, and distribute the performance-critical channels across the available CPUs: in part., the mask of "candidate" target CPUs in a given NUMA node, for a newly offered channel, is determined by XOR-ing the node's CPU mask and the node's hv_numa_map. This operation/mechanism assumes that no offline CPUs is set in the hv_numa_map mask, an assumption that does not hold since such mask is currently not updated when a channel is removed or assigned to a different CPU. To address the issues described above, this adds hooks in the channel removal path (hv_process_channel_removal()) and in target_cpu_store() in order to clear, resp. to update, the hv_numa_map[] masks as needed. This also adds a (missed) update of the masks in init_vp_index() (cf., e.g., the memory-allocation failure path in this function). Like in the case of init_vp_index(), such hooks require to determine if the given channel is performance critical. init_vp_index() does this by parsing the channel's offer, it can not rely on the device data structure (device_obj) to retrieve such information because the device data structure has not been allocated/linked with the channel by the time that init_vp_index() executes. A similar situation may hold in hv_is_alloced_cpu() (defined below); the adopted approach is to "cache" the device type of the channel, as computed by parsing the channel's offer, in the channel structure itself.

vmbus: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-20T09:13:59Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

scsi: storvsc: Re-init stor_chns when a channel interrupt is re-assigned

2020-05-20T09:13:19Z

For each storvsc_device, storvsc keeps track of the channel target CPUs associated to the device (alloced_cpus) and it uses this information to fill a "cache" (stor_chns) mapping CPU->channel according to a certain heuristic. Update the alloced_cpus mask and the stor_chns array when a channel of the storvsc device is re-assigned to a different CPU. Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri (Microsoft) Cc: "James E.J.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Introduce the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message type

2020-04-23T13:17:12Z

VMBus version 4.1 and later support the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL(22) message type which can be used to request Hyper-V to change the vCPU that a channel will interrupt. Introduce the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message type, and define the vmbus_send_modifychannel() function to send CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL requests to the host via a hypercall. The function is then used to define a sysfs "store" operation, which allows to change the (v)CPU the channel will interrupt by using the sysfs interface. The feature can be used for load balancing or other purposes. One interesting catch here is that Hyper-V can *not* currently ACK CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL messages with the promise that (after the ACK is sent) the channel won't send any more interrupts to the "old" CPU. The peculiarity of the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL messages is problematic if the user want to take a CPU offline, since we don't want to take a CPU offline (and, potentially, "lose" channel interrupts on such CPU) if the host is still processing a CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message associated to that CPU. It is worth mentioning, however, that we have been unable to observe the above mentioned "race": in all our tests, CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL requests appeared *as if* they were processed synchronously by the host.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the unused HV_LOCALIZED channel affinity logic

2020-04-23T13:17:12Z

The logic is unused since commit 509879bdb30b8 ("Drivers: hv: Introduce a policy for controlling channel affinity"). This logic assumes that a channel target_cpu doesn't change during the lifetime of a channel, but this assumption is incompatible with the new functionality that allows changing the vCPU a channel will interrupt.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use a spin lock for synchronizing channel scheduling vs. channel removal

2020-04-23T13:17:12Z

Since vmbus_chan_sched() dereferences the ring buffer pointer, we have to make sure that the ring buffer data structures don't get freed while such dereferencing is happening. Current code does this by sending an IPI to the CPU that is allowed to access that ring buffer from interrupt level, cf., vmbus_reset_channel_cb(). But with the new functionality to allow changing the CPU that a channel will interrupt, we can't be sure what CPU will be running the vmbus_chan_sched() function for a particular channel, so the current IPI mechanism is infeasible. Instead synchronize vmbus_chan_sched() and vmbus_reset_channel_cb() by using the (newly introduced) per-channel spin lock "sched_lock". Move the test for onchannel_callback being NULL before the "switch" control statement in vmbus_chan_sched(), in order to not access the ring buffer if the vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has been completed on the channel.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Replace the per-CPU channel lists with a global array of channels

2020-04-23T13:17:11Z

When Hyper-V sends an interrupt to the guest, the guest has to figure out which channel the interrupt is associated with. Hyper-V sets a bit in a memory page that is shared with the guest, indicating a particular "relid" that the interrupt is associated with. The current Linux code then uses a set of per-CPU linked lists to map a given "relid" to a pointer to a channel structure. This design introduces a synchronization problem if the CPU that Hyper-V will interrupt for a certain channel is changed. If the interrupt comes on the "old CPU" and the channel was already moved to the per-CPU list of the "new CPU", then the relid -> channel mapping will fail and the interrupt is dropped. Similarly, if the interrupt comes on the new CPU but the channel was not moved to the per-CPU list of the new CPU, then the mapping will fail and the interrupt is dropped. Relids are integers ranging from 0 to 2047. The mapping from relids to channel structures can be done by setting up an array with 2048 entries, each entry being a pointer to a channel structure (hence total size ~16K bytes, which is not a problem). The array is global, so there are no per-CPU linked lists to update. The array can be searched and updated by loading from/storing to the array at the specified index. With no per-CPU data structures, the above mentioned synchronization problem is avoided and the relid2channel() function gets simpler.
