[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] vhost: generalize buffer vectors

[Maxime Coquelin]

This second revision fixes the arguments swapped in
copy_mbuf_to_desc call.

This series is again preliminray work to ease packed ring
layout integration.

Main changes are using vector buffres also in the dequeue
path, and perform IOVA to HVA translation at vectors fill
time.

I still have to run more benchmarks, but PVP benchmarks does
not show performance changes.

Good thing is that it saves ~140 further lines.

Maxime Coquelin (7):
  vhost: use shadow used ring in dequeue path
  vhost: make gpa to hpa failure an error
  vhost: use buffer vectors in dequeue path
  vhost: translate iovas at vectors fill time
  vhost: improve prefetching in dequeue path
  vhost: prefetch first descriptor in dequeue path
  vhost: improve prefetching in enqueue path

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/7] vhost: make gpa to hpa failure an error

[Maxime Coquelin]

CVE-2018-1059 fix makes sure gpa contiguous memory is
also contiguous in hva space. Incidentally, it also makes
sure it is contiguous in hpa space.

So we can simplify the code by making gpa contiguous memory
discontiguous in hpa space an error.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/7] vhost: use buffer vectors in dequeue path

[Maxime Coquelin]

To ease packed ring layout integration, this patch makes
the dequeue path to re-use buffer vectors implemented for
enqueue path.

Doing this, copy_desc_to_mbuf() is now ring layout type
agnostic.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/7] vhost: translate iovas at vectors fill time

[Maxime Coquelin]

This patch aims at simplifying the desc to mbuf and mbuf to desc
copy functions. It performs the iova to hva translations at
vectors fill time.

Doing this, in case desc buffer isn't contiguous in hva space,
it gets split into multiple vectors.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 7/7] vhost: improve prefetching in enqueue path

[Maxime Coquelin]

This is an optimization to prefetch next buffer while the
current one is being processed.

reserve_avail_buf() is called by virtio_dev_rx(),
so the write perm is needed.

There is no need to have two ' ' after '='.

This is dequeue path, so _RO should be used.

Right.

To avoid having to pass the perms, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to
rely on the descriptors' VRING_DESC_F_WRITE flag.

Currently, DPDK vhost net doesn't check this flag,
so it could cause problems in some cases. If we
want to rely on this flag, I think we still need
to pass something similar to tell fill_vec_buf()
whether the bufs will be written or read, so the
flag can be checked.

Right, let's keep the perm parameter for now.
