ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

KVM: s390: streamline memslot handling
s390 uses the values of the memslot instead of doing everything in the arch
ioctl handler of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. Unfortunately we missed to
set the userspace_addr of our memslot due to our s390 ifdef in
__kvm_set_memory_region.
Old s390 userspace launchers did not notice, since they started the guest at
userspace address 0.
Because of CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR we now put the guest at 1M userspace,
which does not work. This patch makes sure that new.userspace_addr is set
on s390.
This fix should go in quickly. Nevertheless, looking at the code we should
clean up that ifdef in the long term. Any kernel janitors?

KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.

kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq is vulnerable to a race condition with the
interrupt handler function. It does:
if (dev->host_irq_disabled) {
enable_irq(dev->host_irq);
dev->host_irq_disabled = false;
}
If an interrupt triggers before the host->dev_irq_disabled assignment,
it will disable the interrupt and set dev->host_irq_disabled to true.
On return to kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq, dev->host_irq_disabled is set to
false, and the next kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq call will fail to reenable
it.
Other than that, having the interrupt handler and work handlers run in
parallel sounds like asking for trouble (could not spot any obvious
problem, but better not have to, its fragile).

After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework
together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo
suggest to split it into a more elegant way:
1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the
combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific
KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to
enable MSI to INTx convertion.
2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls:
KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ.
This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the
old interface).

This patch finally enable MSI-X.
What we need for MSI-X:
1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired
MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and
transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY.
2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one
interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to
identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done.
3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X
message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so
that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi.
What we lack for now:
1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of
MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first
step (so they are always 0 - no pending).
2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS
can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch
didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way.
3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would
implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace
should have reposibility to handle it.

Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,

the IOAPIC). This is insufficient for several reasons:
- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
ioapics

can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table. The
