2025-11-30vhost: switch to arrays of feature bitsMichael S. Tsirkin1-8/+34
The current interface where caller has to know in which 64 bit chunk each bit is, is inelegant and fragile. Let's simply use arrays of bits. By using unroll macros text size grows only slightly.

2025-11-26vhost: rewind next_avail_head while discarding descriptorsJason Wang1-1/+9
When discarding descriptors with IN_ORDER, we should rewind next_avail_head otherwise it would run out of sync with last_avail_idx. This would cause driver to report "id X is not a head". Fixing this by returning the number of descriptors that is used for each buffer via vhost_get_vq_desc_n() so caller can use the value while discarding descriptors.

2025-08-01vhost: basic in order supportJason Wang1-2/+6
This patch adds basic in order support for vhost. Two optimizations are implemented in this patch: 1) Since driver uses descriptor in order, vhost can deduce the next avail ring head by counting the number of descriptors that has been used in next_avail_head. This eliminate the need to access the available ring in vhost. 2) vhost_add_used_and_singal_n() is extended to accept the number of batched buffers per used elem. While this increases the times of userspace memory access but it helps to reduce the chance of used ring access of both the driver and vhost. Vhost-net will be the first user for this.

2025-08-01vhost: Reintroduce kthread API and add mode selectionCindy Lu1-0/+22
Since commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), the vhost uses vhost_task and operates as a child of the owner thread. This is required for correct CPU usage accounting, especially when using containers. However, this change has caused confusion for some legacy userspace applications, and we didn't notice until it's too late. Unfortunately, it's too late to revert - we now have userspace depending both on old and new behaviour :( To address the issue, reintroduce kthread mode for vhost workers and provide a configuration to select between kthread and task worker. - Add 'fork_owner' parameter to vhost_dev to let users select kthread or task mode. Default mode is task mode(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK). - Reintroduce kthread mode support: * Bring back the original vhost_worker() implementation, and renamed to vhost_run_work_kthread_list(). * Add cgroup support for the kthread * Introduce struct vhost_worker_ops: - Encapsulates create / stop / wake‑up callbacks. - vhost_worker_create() selects the proper ops according to inherit_owner. - Userspace configuration interface: * New IOCTLs: - VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER lets userspace select task mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK) or kthread mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_KTHREAD) - VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER reads the current worker mode * Expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow system administrators to configure the default mode for vhost workers * Kconfig option CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL controls whether these IOCTLs and the parameter are available - The VHOST_NEW_WORKER functionality requires fork_owner to be set to true, with validation added to ensure proper configuration This partially reverts or improves upon: commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads") commit 1cdaafa1b8b4 ("vhost: replace single worker pointer with xarray") Fixes: 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), Signed-off-by: Cindy Lu <lulu@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20250714071333.59794-2-lulu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2025-07-08vhost-net: allow configuring extended featuresPaolo Abeni1-2/+2
Use the extended feature type for 'acked_features' and implement two new ioctls operation allowing the user-space to set/query an unbounded amount of features. The actual number of processed features is limited by VIRTIO_FEATURES_MAX and attempts to set features above such limit fail with EOPNOTSUPP. Note that: the legacy ioctls implicitly truncate the negotiated features to the lower 64 bits range and the 'acked_backend_features' field don't need conversion, as the only negotiated feature there is in the low 64 bit range.

2024-05-22vhost_task: Handle SIGKILL by flushing work and exitingMike Christie1-0/+2
Instead of lingering until the device is closed, this has us handle SIGKILL by: 1. marking the worker as killed so we no longer try to use it with new virtqueues and new flush operations. 2. setting the virtqueue to worker mapping so no new works are queued. 3. running all the exiting works.

2023-07-03vhost: Allow worker switching while work is queueingMike Christie1-1/+3
This patch drops the requirement that we can only switch workers if work has not been queued by using RCU for the vq based queueing paths and a mutex for the device wide flush. We can also use this to support SIGKILL properly in the future where we should exit almost immediately after getting that signal. With this patch, when get_signal returns true, we can set the vq->worker to NULL and do a synchronize_rcu to prevent new work from being queued to the vhost_task that has been killed.

2023-07-03vhost: allow userspace to create workersMike Christie1-0/+3
For vhost-scsi with 3 vqs or more and a workload that tries to use them in parallel like: fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=3 the single vhost worker thread will become a bottlneck and we are stuck at around 500K IOPs no matter how many jobs, virtqueues, and CPUs are used. To better utilize virtqueues and available CPUs, this patch allows userspace to create workers and bind them to vqs. You can have N workers per dev and also share N workers with M vqs on that dev. This patch adds the interface related code and the next patch will hook vhost-scsi into it. The patches do not try to hook net and vsock into the interface because: 1. multiple workers don't seem to help vsock. The problem is that with only 2 virtqueues we never fully use the existing worker when doing bidirectional tests. This seems to match vhost-scsi where we don't see the worker as a bottleneck until 3 virtqueues are used. 2. net already has a way to use multiple workers.

2023-06-08vhost: Fix crash during early vhost_transport_send_pkt callsMike Christie1-1/+1
If userspace does VHOST_VSOCK_SET_GUEST_CID before VHOST_SET_OWNER we can race where: 1. thread0 calls vhost_transport_send_pkt -> vhost_work_queue 2. thread1 does VHOST_SET_OWNER which calls vhost_worker_create. 3. vhost_worker_create will set the dev->worker pointer before setting the worker->vtsk pointer. 4. thread0's vhost_work_queue will see the dev->worker pointer is set and try to call vhost_task_wake using not yet set worker->vtsk pointer. 5. We then crash since vtsk is NULL. Before commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), we only had the worker pointer so we could just check it to see if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done. After that commit we have the vhost_worker and vhost_task pointer, so we can now hit the bug above. This patch embeds the vhost_worker in the vhost_dev and moves the work list initialization back to vhost_dev_init, so we can just check the worker.vtsk pointer to check if VHOST_SET_OWNER has been done like before.

2023-03-23vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threadsMike Christie1-2/+2
For vhost workers we use the kthread API which inherit's its values from and checks against the kthreadd thread. This results in the wrong RLIMITs being checked, so while tools like libvirt try to control the number of threads based on the nproc rlimit setting we can end up creating more threads than the user wanted. This patch has us use the vhost_task helpers which will inherit its values/checks from the thread that owns the device similar to if we did a clone in userspace. The vhost threads will now be counted in the nproc rlimits. And we get features like cgroups and mm sharing automatically, so we can remove those calls.

2020-11-15vhost: add helper to check if a vq has been setupMike Christie1-0/+1
This adds a helper check if a vq has been setup. The next patches will use this when we move the vhost scsi cmd preallocation from per session to per vq. In the per vq case, we only want to allocate cmds for vqs that have actually been setup and not for all the possible vqs.

2020-06-04vhost: allow device that does not depend on vhost workerJason Wang1-0/+2
vDPA device currently relays the eventfd via vhost worker. This is inefficient due the latency of wakeup and scheduling, so this patch tries to introduce a use_worker attribute for the vhost device. When use_worker is not set with vhost_dev_init(), vhost won't try to allocate a worker thread and the vhost_poll will be processed directly in the wakeup function. This help for vDPA since it reduces the latency caused by vhost worker. In my testing, it saves 0.2 ms in pings between VMs on a mutual host.

2020-06-02virtio: force spec specified alignment on typesMichael S. Tsirkin1-3/+3
The ring element addresses are passed between components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned. This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a deprecated configuration, but it seems safer to handle this generally. Note that userspace that allocates the memory is actually OK and does not need to be fixed, but userspace that gets it from guest or another process does need to be fixed. The later doesn't generally talk to the kernel so while it might be buggy it's not talking to the kernel in the buggy way - it's just using the header in the buggy way - so fixing header and asking userspace to recompile is the best we can do. I verified that the produced kernel binary on x86 is exactly identical before and after the change. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

2019-12-04vhost, kcov: collect coverage from vhost_workerAndrey Konovalov1-0/+1
Add kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop() annotations to the vhost_worker() function, which is responsible for processing vhost works. Since vhost_worker() threads are spawned per vhost device instance the common kcov handle is used for kcov_remote_start()/stop() annotations (see Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst for details). As the result kcov can now be used to collect coverage from vhost worker threads.

2019-06-05vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual addressJason Wang1-0/+38
It was noticed that the copy_to/from_user() friends that was used to access virtqueue metdata tends to be very expensive for dataplane implementation like vhost since it involves lots of software checks, speculation barriers, hardware feature toggling (e.g SMAP). The extra cost will be more obvious when transferring small packets since the time spent on metadata accessing become more significant. This patch tries to eliminate those overheads by accessing them through direct mapping of those pages. Invalidation callbacks is implemented for co-operation with general VM management (swap, KSM, THP or NUMA balancing). We will try to get the direct mapping of vq metadata before each round of packet processing if it doesn't exist. If we fail, we will simplely fallback to copy_to/from_user() friends. This invalidation and direct mapping access are synchronized through spinlock and RCU. All matedata accessing through direct map is protected by RCU, and the setup or invalidation are done under spinlock. This method might does not work for high mem page which requires temporary mapping so we just fallback to normal copy_to/from_user() and may not for arch that has virtual tagged cache since extra cache flushing is needed to eliminate the alias. This will result complex logic and bad performance. For those archs, this patch simply go for copy_to/from_user() friends. This is done by ruling out kernel mapping codes through ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE. Note that this is only done when device IOTLB is not enabled. We could use similar method to optimize IOTLB in the future.
