There is a batching mechanism for virtio-blk Used Buffer Notifications
that is no longer needed because the previous commit added batching to
virtio_notify_irqfd().
Note that this mechanism was rarely used in practice because it is only
enabled when EVENT_IDX is not negotiated by the driver. Modern drivers
enable EVENT_IDX.

The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code
to util/ where it can be reused.
As a reminder of what defer_call() does:
This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end()
section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance
optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests
at once instead of individually:
defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section
...
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
...
defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once

The main loop thread can consume 100% CPU when using --device
virtio-blk-pci,iothread=<iothread>. ppoll() constantly returns but
reading virtqueue host notifiers fails with EAGAIN. The file descriptors
are stale and remain registered with the AioContext because of bugs in
the virtio-blk dataplane start/stop code.
The problem is that the dataplane start/stop code involves drain
operations, which call virtio_blk_drained_begin() and
virtio_blk_drained_end() at points where the host notifier is not
operational:
- In virtio_blk_data_plane_start(), blk_set_aio_context() drains after
vblk->dataplane_started has been set to true but the host notifier has
not been attached yet.
- In virtio_blk_data_plane_stop(), blk_drain() and blk_set_aio_context()
drain after the host notifier has already been detached but with
vblk->dataplane_started still set to true.
I would like to simplify ->ioeventfd_start/stop() to avoid interactions
with drain entirely, but couldn't find a way to do that. Instead, this
patch accepts the fragile nature of the code and reorders it so that
vblk->dataplane_started is false during drain operations. This way the
virtio_blk_drained_begin() and virtio_blk_drained_end() calls don't
touch the host notifier. The result is that
virtio_blk_data_plane_start() and virtio_blk_data_plane_stop() have
complete control over the host notifier and stale file descriptors are
no longer left in the AioContext.
This patch fixes the 100% CPU consumption in the main loop thread and
correctly moves host notifier processing to the IOThread.

Introduce a new API for thread-local blk_io_plug() that does not
traverse the block graph. The goal is to make blk_io_plug() multi-queue
friendly.
Instead of having block drivers track whether or not we're in a plugged
section, provide an API that allows them to defer a function call until
we're unplugged: blk_io_plug_call(fn, opaque). If blk_io_plug_call() is
called multiple times with the same fn/opaque pair, then fn() is only
called once at the end of the function - resulting in batching.
This patch introduces the API and changes blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug().
blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug() no longer require a BlockBackend argument
because the plug state is now thread-local.
Later patches convert block drivers to blk_io_plug_call() and then we
can finally remove .bdrv_co_io_plug() once all block drivers have been
converted.

virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier() does two things:
1. It removes the fd handler from the event loop.
2. It processes the virtqueue one last time.
The first step can be peformed by any thread and without taking the
AioContext lock.
The second step may need the AioContext lock (depending on the device
implementation) and runs in the thread where request processing takes
place. virtio-blk and virtio-scsi therefore call
virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier() from a BH that is scheduled in
AioContext.
The next patch will introduce a .drained_begin() function that needs to
call virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier(). .drained_begin() functions
cannot call aio_poll() to wait synchronously for the BH. It is possible
for a .drained_poll() callback to asynchronously wait for the BH, but
that is more complex than necessary here.
Move the virtqueue processing out to the callers of
virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier() so that the function can be
called from any thread. This is in preparation for the next patch.

after this patch. This will allow us to remove the
aio_disable_external() API once all other code that relies on it is

Extend xen_device_set_event_channel_context() to allow ctx=NULL. The
event channel still exists but the event loop does not monitor the file
descriptor. Event channel processing can resume by calling
xen_device_set_event_channel_context() with a non-NULL ctx.
Factor out xen_device_set_event_channel_context() calls in
hw/block/dataplane/xen-block.c into attach/detach helper functions.
Incidentally, these don't require the AioContext lock because
aio_set_fd_handler() is thread-safe.
It's safer to register BlockDevOps after the dataplane instance has been
created. The BlockDevOps .drained_begin/end() callbacks depend on the
dataplane instance, so move the blk_set_dev_ops() call after
xen_block_dataplane_create().

virtio_blk_dma_restart_cb() is tricky because the BH must deal with
virtio_blk_data_plane_start()/virtio_blk_data_plane_stop() being called.
There are two issues with the code:
1. virtio_blk_realize() should use qdev_add_vm_change_state_handler()
instead of qemu_add_vm_change_state_handler(). This ensures the
ordering with virtio_init()'s vm change state handler that calls
virtio_blk_data_plane_start()/virtio_blk_data_plane_stop() is
well-defined. Then blk's AioContext is guaranteed to be up-to-date in
virtio_blk_dma_restart_cb() and it's no longer necessary to have a
special case for virtio_blk_data_plane_start().
2. Only blk_drain() waits for virtio_blk_dma_restart_cb()'s
blk_inc_in_flight() to be decremented. The bdrv_drain() family of
functions do not wait for BlockBackend's in_flight counter to reach
zero. virtio_blk_data_plane_stop() relies on blk_set_aio_context()'s
implicit drain, but that's a bdrv_drain() and not a blk_drain().
Note that virtio_blk_reset() already correctly relies on blk_drain().
If virtio_blk_data_plane_stop() switches to blk_drain() then we can
properly wait for pending virtio_blk_dma_restart_bh() calls.
Once these issues are taken care of the code becomes simpler. This
change is in preparation for multiple IOThreads in virtio-blk where we
need to clean up the multi-threading behavior.
I ran the reproducer from commit 49b44549ac ("virtio-blk: On restart,
process queued requests in the proper context") to check that there is
no regression.

This patch assigns s->dataplane_started before attaching host notifiers
so that virtqueue handler functions that run in the IOThread before
virtio_scsi_data_plane_start() returns correctly identify that dataplane
does not need to be started. This fix is taken from the virtio-blk
dataplane code and it's worth adding a comment in virtio-blk as well to
explain why it works.
Note that s->dataplane_started does not need the AioContext lock because
it is set before attaching host notifiers and cleared after detaching
host notifiers. In other words, the IOThread always sees the value true
and the main loop thread does not modify it while the IOThread is
active.

It seems cleaner to fix the rollback path in one go. The patch is

Currently, blk_is_read_only() tells whether a given BlockBackend can
only be used in read-only mode because its root node is read-only. Some
callers actually try to answer a slightly different question: Is the
BlockBackend configured to be writable, by taking write permissions on
the root node?
This can differ, for example, for CD-ROM devices which don't take write
permissions, but may be backed by a writable image file. scsi-cd allows
write requests to the drive if blk_is_read_only() returns false.
However, the write request will immediately run into an assertion
failure because the write permission is missing.
This patch introduces separate functions for both questions.
blk_supports_write_perm() answers the question whether the block
node/image file can support writable devices, whereas blk_is_writable()
tells whether the BlockBackend is currently configured to be writable.
All calls of blk_is_read_only() are converted to one of the two new
functions.

Meson doesn't enjoy the same flexibility we have with Make in choosing
the include path. In particular the tracing headers are using
$(build_root)/$(<D).
In order to keep the include directives unchanged,
the simplest solution is to generate headers with patterns like
"trace/trace-audio.h" and place forwarding headers in the source tree
such that for example "audio/trace.h" includes "trace/trace-audio.h".
This patch is too ugly to be applied to the Makefiles now. It's only
a way to separate the changes to the tracing header files from the
Meson rewrite of the tracing logic.

If we want to check error after errp-function call, we need to
introduce local_err and then propagate it to errp. Instead, use
the ERRP_GUARD() macro, benefits are:
1. No need of explicit error_propagate call
2. No need of explicit local_err variable: use errp directly
3. ERRP_GUARD() leaves errp as is if it's not NULL or
&error_fatal, this means that we don't break error_abort
(we'll abort on error_set, not on error_propagate)
If we want to add some info to errp (by error_prepend() or
error_append_hint()), we must use the ERRP_GUARD() macro.
Otherwise, this info will not be added when errp == &error_fatal
(the program will exit prior to the error_append_hint() or
error_prepend() call). No such cases are being fixed here.

On restart, we were scheduling a BH to process queued requests, which
would run before starting up the data plane, leading to those requests
being assigned and started on coroutines on the main context.
This could cause requests to be wrongly processed in parallel from
different threads (the main thread and the iothread managing the data
plane), potentially leading to multiple issues.
For example, stopping and resuming a VM multiple times while the guest
is generating I/O on a virtio_blk device can trigger a crash with a
stack tracing looking like this one:

Commit a31ca6801c ("qemu/queue.h: clear linked list pointers on
remove") revealed that a request was removed twice from a list, once
in xen_block_finish_request() and a second time in
xen_block_release_request() when both function are called from
xen_block_complete_aio(). But also, the `requests_inflight' counter is
decreased twice, and thus became negative.
This is a bug that was introduced in bfd0d63660 ("xen-block: improve
response latency"), where a `finished' list was removed.
That commit also introduced a leak of request in xen_block_do_aio().
That function calls xen_block_finish_request() but the request is
never released after that.
To fix both issue, we do two changes:
- we squash finish_request() and release_request() together as we want
to remove a request from 'inflight' list to add it to 'freelist'.
- before releasing a request, we need to let the other end know the
result, thus we should call xen_block_send_response() before
releasing a request.
The first change fixes the double QLIST_REMOVE() as we remove the extra
call. The second change makes the leak go away because if we want to
call finish_request(), we need to call a function that does all of
finish, send response, and release.

It is not safe to close an event channel from the QEMU main thread when
that channel's poller is running in IOThread context.
This patch adds a new xen_device_set_event_channel_context() function
to explicitly assign the channel AioContext, and modifies
xen_device_bind_event_channel() to initially assign the channel's poller
to the QEMU main thread context. The code in xen-block's dataplane is
then modified to assign the channel to IOThread context during
xen_block_dataplane_start() and de-assign it during in
xen_block_dataplane_stop(), such that the channel is always assigned
back to main thread context before it is closed. aio_set_fd_handler()
already deals with all the necessary synchronization when moving an fd
between AioContext-s so no extra code is needed to manage this.

This patch introduces a poll callback for event channel fd-s and uses
this to invoke the channel callback function.
To properly support polling, it is necessary for the event channel callback
function to return a boolean saying whether it has done any useful work or
not. Thus xen_block_dataplane_event() is modified to directly invoke
xen_block_handle_requests() and the latter only returns true if it actually
processes any requests. This also means that the call to qemu_bh_schedule()
is moved into xen_block_complete_aio(), which is more intuitive since the
only reason for doing a deferred poll of the shared ring should be because
there were previously insufficient resources to fully complete a previous
poll.

[Call aio_set_fd_handler() with is_external=true]
Signed-off-by: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@citrix.com>
A recent Xen commit [1] clarified the semantics of sector based quantities
used in the blkif protocol such that it is now safe to create a xen-block
device with a logical_block_size != 512, as long as the device only
connects to a frontend advertizing 'feature-large-block-size'.
This patch modifies xen-block accordingly. It also uses a stack variable
for the BlockBackend in xen_block_realize() to avoid repeated dereferencing
of the BlockConf pointer, and changes the parameters of
xen_block_dataplane_create() so that the BlockBackend pointer and sector
size are passed expicitly rather than implicitly via the BlockConf.
These modifications have been tested against a recent Windows PV XENVBD
driver [2] using a xen-disk device with a 4kB logical block size.

Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
The Xen blkif protocol requires that sector based quantities should be
interpreted strictly as multiples of 512 bytes. Specifically:
"first_sect and last_sect in blkif_request_segment, as well as
sector_number in blkif_request, are always expressed in 512-byte units."
Commit fcab2b464e "xen: add header and build dataplane/xen-block.c"
incorrectly modified behaviour to use the block device logical_block_size
property as the scale, instead of correctly shifting values by the
hardcoded BDRV_SECTOR_BITS (and hence scaling them to 512 byte units).
This patch undoes that change and restores compliance with the spec.
Furthermore, this patch also restores the original xen_disk behaviour
of advertizing a hardcoded 'sector-size' value of 512 in xenstore and
scaling 'sectors' accordingly. The realize() method is also modified to
fail if logical_block_size is set to anything other than 512.

The if() statement is clearly bogus (dead code which should have been
cleaned up when grant mapping was removed).

While in the neighbourhood, add a missing 'fall through' annotation.

Some frontend drivers will handle dynamic resizing of PV disks, so set up
the BlockDevOps resize_cb() method during xen_block_realize() to allow
this to be done.

The xen-block dataplane currently allocates memory to hold the data for
each request as that request is used, and frees it afterwards. Because
it requires page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-
aligned allocations and balloons the heap.
Instead, allocate the maximum possible buffer size required for the
protocol, which is BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (currently 11) pages
when the request structure is created, and keep that buffer until it is
destroyed. Since the requests are re-used via a free list, this should
actually improve memory usage.

If the I/O ring is full, the guest cannot send any more requests
until some responses are sent. Only sending all available responses
just before checking for new work does not leave much time for the
guest to supply new work, so this will cause stalls if the ring gets
full. Also, not completing reads as soon as possible adds latency
to the guest.
To alleviate that, complete IO requests as soon as they come back.
xen_block_send_response() already returns a value indicating whether
a notify should be sent, which is all the batching we need.

When I/O consists of many small requests, performance is improved by
batching them together in a single io_submit() call. When there are
relatively few requests, the extra overhead is not worth it. This
introduces a check to start batching I/O requests via blk_io_plug()/
blk_io_unplug() in an amount proportional to the number which were
already in flight at the time we started reading the ring.
