* xen: modify xenstore watch event interfaceJuergen Gross2017-02-091-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today a Xenstore watch event is delivered via a callback function declared as: void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *, const char **vec, unsigned int len); As all watch events only ever come with two parameters (path and token) changing the prototype to: void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *, const char *path, const char *token); is the natural thing to do. Apply this change and adapt all users.

* xen/blback: Fit the important information of the thread in 17 charactersKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk2016-03-031-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The processes names are truncated to 17, while we had the length of the process as name 20 - which meant that while we filled it out with various details - the last 3 characters (which had the queue number) never surfaced to the user-space. To simplify this and be able to fit the device name, domain id, and the queue number we remove the 'blkback' from the name. Prior to this patch the device name is "blkback.<domid>.<name>" for example: blkback.8.xvda, blkback.11.hda. With the multiqueue block backend we add "-%d" for the queue. But sadly this is already way past the limit so it gets stripped. Possible solution had been identified by Ian: http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-05/msg03516.html " If you are pressed for space then the "xvd" is probably a bit redundant in a string which starts blkbk. The guest may not even call the device xvdN (iirc BSD has another prefix) any how, so having blkback say so seems of limited use anyway. Since this seems to not include a partition number how does this work in the split partition scheme? (i.e. one where the guest is given xvda1 and xvda2 rather than xvda with a partition table) [It will be 'blkback.8.xvda1', and 'blkback.11.xvda2'] Perhaps something derived from one of the schemes in http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/vbd-interface.txt might be a better fit? After a bit of discussion (see http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-12/msg01588.html) we settled on dropping the "blback" part. This will make it possible to have the <domid>.<name>-<queue>: [1.xvda-0] [1.xvda-1] And we enough space to make it go up to: [32100.xvdfg9-5] Acked-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Reported-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

The goal of this patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity behaving as a block backend on a non-modified Xen. It's only necessary to adapt the ring size and the number of request per indirect frames. The rest of the code is relying on the grant table code. Note that the grant table code is allocating a Linux page per grant which will result to waste 6OKB for every grant when Linux is using 64KB page granularity. This could be improved by sharing the page between multiple grants.

Due to this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without freeing it. In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.

This caused performance regressions in various tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size instead. - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me. Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.

From Ming Lei. - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race condition. - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward for a while, and testing them.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

As a result, the performance can get improved significantly. We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing. The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy. Changes in v2: - Rebased to 4.0-rc6. - Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h. Changes in v3: - Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined in io/blkif.h of XEN tree. - Rebased to 4.1-rc3 Changes in v4: - Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'. - A few comments from Roger.
