When updating ioeventfds, we need to iterate all address spaces,
but some address spaces do not register eventfd_add|del call when
memory_listener_register() and they do nothing when updating ioeventfds.
So we can skip these AS in address_space_update_ioeventfds().
The overhead of memory_region_transaction_commit() can be significantly
reduced. For example, a VM with 8 vhost net devices and each one has
64 vectors, can reduce the time spent on memory_region_transaction_commit by 20%.

For migration purposes, users might want to reuse the default RAM
backend id, but specify a different memory backend.
For example, to reuse "pc.ram" on q35, one has to set
-machine q35,memory-backend=pc.ram
Only then, can a memory backend with the id "pc.ram" be created
manually.
Let's improve the error message by improving the hint. Use
error_append_hint() -- which in turn requires ERRP_GUARD().

It's easy to miss that memory-backend-file with "share=off" (default)
will always try opening the file R/W as default, and fail if we don't
have write permissions to the file.
In that case, the user has to explicit specify "readonly=on,rom=off" to
get usable RAM, for example, for VM templating.
Let's hint that '-object memory-backend-file,readonly=on,rom=off,...'
exists to consume R/O files in a private mapping to create writable RAM,
but only if we have permissions to open the file read-only.

open() does not fail on directories when opening them readonly (O_RDONLY).
Currently, we succeed opening such directories and fail later during
mmap(), resulting in a misleading error message.
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 \
-object memory-backend-file,id=ram0,mem-path=tmp,readonly=true,size=1g
qemu-system-x86_64: unable to map backing store for guest RAM: No such device
To identify directories and handle them accordingly in file_ram_open()
also when readonly=true was specified, detect if we just opened a directory
using fstat() instead. Then, fail file_ram_open() right away, similarly
to how we now fail if the file does not exist and we want to open the
file readonly.
With this change, we get a nicer error message:
qemu-system-x86_64: can't open backing store tmp for guest RAM: Is a directory
Note that the only memory-backend-file will end up calling
memory_region_init_ram_from_file() -> qemu_ram_alloc_from_file() ->
file_ram_open().

Currently, if a file does not exist yet, file_ram_open() will create new
empty file and open it writable. However, it even does that when
readonly=true was specified.
Specifying O_RDONLY instead to create a new readonly file would
theoretically work, however, ftruncate() will refuse to resize the new
empty file and we'll get a warning:
ftruncate: Invalid argument
And later eventually more problems when actually mmap'ing that file and
accessing it.
If someone intends to let QEMU open+mmap a file read-only, better
create+resize+fill that file ahead of time outside of QEMU context.
We'll now fail with:
./qemu-system-x86_64 \
-object memory-backend-file,id=ram0,mem-path=tmp,readonly=true,size=1g
qemu-system-x86_64: can't open backing store tmp for guest RAM: No such file or directory
All use cases of readonly files (R/O NVDIMMs, VM templating) work on
existing files, so silently creating new files might just hide user
errors when accidentally specifying a non-existent file.
Note that the only memory-backend-file will end up calling
memory_region_init_ram_from_file() -> qemu_ram_alloc_from_file() ->
file_ram_open().
Move error reporting to the single caller.

For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the
file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively
turning it into ROM.
Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However,
that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions,
because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM.
The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we
have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior --
malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs --
we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on"
So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is
the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not
change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly"
property.
For VM templating, one can now use:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,...
But we'll disallow:
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,...
because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file
shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner.
We will also disallow for now:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,...
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,...
It's not harmful, but also not really required for now.
Alternatives that were abandoned:
* Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container
readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run
into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases
for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory
(temporary files, system RAM, ...).
* Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues
as with "unarmed=on".
* Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type.
This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter:
values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be
accepted.

There is a difference between how we open a file and how we mmap it,
and we want to support writable private mappings of readonly files. Let's
define RAM_READONLY and RAM_READONLY_FD flags, to replace the single
"readonly" parameter for file-related functions.
In memory_region_init_ram_from_fd() and memory_region_init_ram_from_file(),
initialize mr->readonly based on the new RAM_READONLY flag.
While at it, add some RAM_* flags we missed to add to the list of accepted
flags in the documentation of some functions.
No change in functionality intended. We'll make use of both flags next
and start setting them independently for memory-backend-file.

Currently, when using a true R/O NVDIMM (ROM memory backend) with a label
area, the VM can easily crash QEMU by trying to write to the label area,
because the ROM memory is mmap'ed without PROT_WRITE.
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl disable-region region0
disabled 1 region
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl zero-labels nmem0
-> QEMU segfaults
Let's remember whether we have a ROM memory backend and properly
reject the write request:
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl disable-region region0
disabled 1 region
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl zero-labels nmem0
zeroed 0 nmem
In comparison, on a system with a R/W NVDIMM:
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl disable-region region0
disabled 1 region
[root@vm-0 ~]# ndctl zero-labels nmem0
zeroed 1 nmem
For ACPI, just return "unsupported", like if no label exists. For spapr,
return "H_P2", similar to when no label area exists.
Could we rely on the "unarmed" property? Maybe, but it looks cleaner to
only disallow what certainly cannot work.
After all "unarmed=on" primarily means: cannot accept persistent writes. In
theory, there might be setups where devices with "unarmed=on" set could
be used to host non-persistent data (temporary files, system RAM, ...); for
example, in Linux, admins can overwrite the "readonly" setting and still
write to the device -- which will work as long as we're not using ROM.
Allowing writing label data in such configurations can make sense.

can make the compiler error on new additions. This is a defensive
measure against security bugs where an on-stack dynamic allocation

In fill_rx_bd() we create a variable length array of size
etsec->rx_padding. In fact we know that this will never be
larger than 64 bytes, because rx_padding is set in rx_init_frame()
in a way that ensures it is only that large. Use a fixed sized
array and assert that it is big enough.
Since padd[] is now potentially rather larger than the actual
padding required, adjust the memset() we do on it to match the
size that we write with cpu_physical_memory_write(), rather than
clearing the entire array.

AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly
with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all
of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is
pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native
and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications.
Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't
require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to
the network interface itself is necessary.
This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the
kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory
is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx,
Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of
memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by
allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and
placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will
return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take
a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into
it and place the buffer into Rx ring.
AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host
kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the
peer device in QEMU.
Usage example:
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C
-netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1
XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be
attached to the interface in 2 different modes:
1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require
driver support. With a caveat of lower performance.
2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to
bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use
zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace.
By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb.
Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native
mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is
some issue with the driver.
Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should
be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still
functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to
QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the
QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something
else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly
configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N).
'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id
QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary
to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs
for examples.
In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to
the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however,
to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process
with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program,
create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process
on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be
configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program.
QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue
or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
There are few performance challenges with the current network backends.
First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data
path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other
work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that
taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today.
Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation
code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest
"frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy
traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via
some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we
have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis
and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication
channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing
more than one packet at a time as well.
Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better
batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant.
There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not
support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers
are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer
support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet.
Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e.
done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual
interfaces.
However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation
of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top
of a physical NIC with zero-copy support.
Test setup:
2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card.
Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode.
The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue.
Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd
for PPS testing.
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 3.4 Mpps
Rx only : 2.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps
In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to
the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair:
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 9 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 1.2 Mpps
Rx only : 1.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps
Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap
backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged
with a NIC.
