This set of patches transforms and refactors vhost example to a user
space vhost library.
This library implements a user space vhost cuse driver, and provides
generic APIs for user space ethernet vSwitch to integrate us-vhost for
fast packet switching with guest virtio.

vhost lib consists of five APIs plus several helper routines
for feature disable/enable.
1) rte_vhost_driver_register initializes vhost driver.
2) rte_vhost_driver_callback_register registers the callbacks.
Callbacks are called from vhost driver when a virtio device is ready
to be added to the data processing core or is de-activated by guest.
3) rte_vhost_driver_session_start, a blocking API to start vhost
message handler session loop.
4) rte_vhost_enqueue_burst and rte_vhost_dequeue_burst for
enqueue/dequeue packets to/from virtio ring respectively.

v2) turn off vhost lib by default

v3) fixed checkpatch issues

v4) split the patch per thomas' requirement

v5) fine granularity split of the patch
    regenerate patches based on latest commit
    this patchset removes vhost example patches, which will be
 submitted later.

Huawei Xie (25):
  move src files from examples/vhost to lib/librte_vhost
  rename main.c to vhost_rxtx.c and virtio-net.h to rte_vhost_net.h
  keep virtio_dev_(merge_)rx, copy_from_mbuf_to_vring and virtio_dev_merge_tx; remove anything else in vhost_rxtx.c
  remove mac learning, mac/vlan, VMDQ and other switching related logic
  remove host memory region region related logic
  remove retry
  patch virtio_dev_merge_tx to make it return packets to app
  patch vhost_dev_merge_tx about buf_size
  add queue_id parameter to vhost rx/tx functions
  define PACKET_BURST
  rte_vhost_en/dequeue_burst API
  move virtio_net_config_ll strcture to virtio_net.c
  remove index
  call get_virtio_net_callbacks to get the ops in register_cuse_device
  rte_vhost_driver_register and rte_vhost_session_start API
  rte_vhost_callback_register API
  add debug print
  define VHOST_SUPPORTED_FEATURES
  header file cleanup
  static fix
  add priv field in virtio_net to store application specific context
  coding style fixes
  add TODO/FIXME
  add vhost support in Makefile

Those files will be refactored in subsequent patches to form user space vhost library.
Makefile and main.h are removed.

-# This script is designed to modify the call to the QEMU emulator
-# to support userspace vhost when starting a guest machine through
-# libvirt with vhost enabled. The steps to enable this are as follows
-# and should be run as root:
-#
-# 1. Place this script in a libvirtd's binary search PATH ($PATH)
-#    A good location would be in the same directory that the QEMU
-#    binary is located
-#
-# 2. Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file
-#    permissions as the QEMU binary
-#
-# 3. Update the VM xml file using "virsh edit VM.xml"
-#
-#    3.a) Set the VM to use the launch script
-#
-#    	Set the emulator path contained in the
-#		<emulator><emulator/> tags
-#
-#    	e.g replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/>
-#        with    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
-#
-#	 3.b) Set the VM's device's to use vhost-net offload
-#
-#		<interface type="network">
-#       	<model type="virtio"/>
-#       	<driver name="vhost"/>
-#		<interface/>
-#
-# 4. Enable libvirt to access our userpace device file by adding it to
-#    controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps
-#
-#   4.a) In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add/edit the following lines:
-#         1) cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ]
-#		  2) clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
-#         3) user = "root"
-#         4) group = "root"
-#         5) cgroup_device_acl = [
-#                "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
-#                "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
-#                "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
-#                "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
-#                "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
-#            ]
-#
-#   4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
-#
-#   4.c) Mount cgroup device controller
-#        "mkdir /dev/cgroup"
-#        "mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices"
-#
-#   4.d) Set hugetlbfs_mount variable - ( Optional )
-#        VMs using userspace vhost must use hugepage backed
-#        memory. This can be enabled in the libvirt XML
-#        config by adding a memory backing section to the
-#        XML config e.g.
-#             <memoryBacking>
-#             <hugepages/>
-#             </memoryBacking>
-#        This memory backing section should be added after the
-#        <memory> and <currentMemory> sections. This will add
-#        flags "-mem-prealloc -mem-path <path>" to the QEMU
-#        command line. The hugetlbfs_mount variable can be used
-#        to override the default <path> passed through by libvirt.
-#
-#        if "-mem-prealloc" or "-mem-path <path>" are not passed
-#        through and a vhost device is detected then these options will
-#        be automatically added by this script. This script will detect
-#        the system hugetlbfs mount point to be used for <path>. The
-#        default <path> for this script can be overidden by the
-#        hugetlbfs_dir variable in the configuration section of this script.
-#
-#
-#   4.e) Restart the libvirtd system process
-#        e.g. on Fedora "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
-#
-#
-#   4.f) Edit the Configuration Parameters section of this script
-#        to point to the correct emulator location and set any
-#        addition options
-#
-# The script modifies the libvirtd Qemu call by modifying/adding
-# options based on the configuration parameters below.
-# NOTE:
-#     emul_path and us_vhost_path must be set
-#     All other parameters are optional

+# This script is designed to modify the call to the QEMU emulator
+# to support userspace vhost when starting a guest machine through
+# libvirt with vhost enabled. The steps to enable this are as follows
+# and should be run as root:
+#
+# 1. Place this script in a libvirtd's binary search PATH ($PATH)
+#    A good location would be in the same directory that the QEMU
+#    binary is located
+#
+# 2. Ensure that the script has the same owner/group and file
+#    permissions as the QEMU binary
+#
+# 3. Update the VM xml file using "virsh edit VM.xml"
+#
+#    3.a) Set the VM to use the launch script
+#
+#    	Set the emulator path contained in the
+#		<emulator><emulator/> tags
+#
+#    	e.g replace <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm<emulator/>
+#        with    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-wrap.py<emulator/>
+#
+#	 3.b) Set the VM's device's to use vhost-net offload
+#
+#		<interface type="network">
+#       	<model type="virtio"/>
+#       	<driver name="vhost"/>
+#		<interface/>
+#
+# 4. Enable libvirt to access our userpace device file by adding it to
+#    controllers cgroup for libvirtd using the following steps
+#
+#   4.a) In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add/edit the following lines:
+#         1) cgroup_controllers = [ ... "devices", ... ]
+#		  2) clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
+#         3) user = "root"
+#         4) group = "root"
+#         5) cgroup_device_acl = [
+#                "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
+#                "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
+#                "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
+#                "/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet", "/dev/net/tun",
+#                "/dev/<devbase-name>-<index>",
+#            ]
+#
+#   4.b) Disable SELinux or set to permissive mode
+#
+#   4.c) Mount cgroup device controller
+#        "mkdir /dev/cgroup"
+#        "mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup -o devices"
+#
+#   4.d) Set hugetlbfs_mount variable - ( Optional )
+#        VMs using userspace vhost must use hugepage backed
+#        memory. This can be enabled in the libvirt XML
+#        config by adding a memory backing section to the
+#        XML config e.g.
+#             <memoryBacking>
+#             <hugepages/>
+#             </memoryBacking>
+#        This memory backing section should be added after the
+#        <memory> and <currentMemory> sections. This will add
+#        flags "-mem-prealloc -mem-path <path>" to the QEMU
+#        command line. The hugetlbfs_mount variable can be used
+#        to override the default <path> passed through by libvirt.
+#
+#        if "-mem-prealloc" or "-mem-path <path>" are not passed
+#        through and a vhost device is detected then these options will
+#        be automatically added by this script. This script will detect
+#        the system hugetlbfs mount point to be used for <path>. The
+#        default <path> for this script can be overidden by the
+#        hugetlbfs_dir variable in the configuration section of this script.
+#
+#
+#   4.e) Restart the libvirtd system process
+#        e.g. on Fedora "systemctl restart libvirtd.service"
+#
+#
+#   4.f) Edit the Configuration Parameters section of this script
+#        to point to the correct emulator location and set any
+#        addition options
+#
+# The script modifies the libvirtd Qemu call by modifying/adding
+# options based on the configuration parameters below.

+#     emul_path and us_vhost_path must be set
+#     All other parameters are optional

From: Huawei Xie @ 2014-10-08 18:54 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev

Remove all other codes and only keep virtio_dev_rx, copy_from_mbuf_to_vring, virtio_dev_merge_rx, virtio_dev_merge_tx.
Previous vhost merge-able feature introduces another version of tx function, virtio_dev_merge_tx. Actually it is not 
related to merge-able feature but is the fix for memcpy between mbuf and vring descriptors. This lib will create the tx
functions based on virtio_dev_merge_tx.

The following logics will be moved to vhost example.
 1. mac learning, which is used to learn the mac address from the first transmitted packet of guest and bind
the vhost device to a queue in a pool of VMDQ.
 2. VMDQ mac/vlan filter: Each pool the vhost device is bind to is assigned a mac/vlan filter.
 3. num_devices is used to specify the maximum vhost devices the nic supports.

Currently zero copy feature isn't generic as it couples closely with nic. It isn't put in
the vhost lib in this version.
gpa(guest physical address) to hpa(host physical address) mapping region logic is removed.

retry is used to wait some time and retry when there are not enough descriptors.
App could implement this policy easily if it needs.

This patch makes virtio_dev_merge_tx return the received packets to  app layer.
Previously virtio_tx_route is called to route these packets and then free them.

As a lib, we have no idea the app defined mbuf size. This patch will calculate
mbuf size dynamically.

rte_vhost_enqueue_burst will call virtio_dev_rx and virtio_dev_merge_rx respectively depending on
whether merge-able feature is negotiated or not in the vhost device.
virtio_dev_merge_tx is renamed to rte_vhost_dequeue_burst.

vhost_net_device_ops is internal implementation in vhost lib.
register_cuse_device will be vhost driver register API. There is no need for it to know
the internal vhost ops. Instead, that ops is retrieved in register_cuse_device through get_virtio_net_callbacks.

rename init_virtio_net as rte_vhost_callback_register API.
rte_vhost_callback_register register the callbacks called when a  
vhost device is created and ready to be added to data processing core
or is de-actived by guest.

1) FIXME:concurrent calls to vhost set mem table from different guests could cause mem_temp to be overrided.
2) TODO:cmpset cost quite some cpu cyles. allow app to disable this feature if there is no contention in real workload.
3) FIXME:fix scatter gather mbuf copy to vhost vring chained buffers

Thanks for your hard work.
There are still few things to clean in this patch splitting
but I've did it to apply them.
I won't describe all the changes I've done, you can check them in the
git repository. In short, some split or merge were needed, some lines were
removed and re-added later, build dependencies were not correct and doc
generation was missing.
You did the big work by really splitting all these stuff. Working on small
commits was far easier. Thanks

Applied

Now you can add the new example.
I hope we'll have more reviews and cleanup now that the first version of
this library is integrated.

Thanks!  Would check and submit the example patch soon. Yes, this is the 
first step, next we would have code cleanup, bug fix, performance tuning, 
 interfaces refine, new qemu us-vhost support, etc.
