2008-07-25virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from hostChristian Borntraeger
Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.

2008-07-25virtio: Use bus_type probe and remove methodsMark McLoughlin
Hook up to the probe() and remove() methods in bus_type rather than device_driver. The latter has been preferred since 2.6.16. Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-25virtio: don't always force a notification when ring is fullRusty Russell
We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host immediately. Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are outgoing parts of the new buffer. Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation: Before: network xmit 7859051 recv 236420 After: network xmit 7858610 recv 118136 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-25virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementationsRusty Russell
We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.

2008-07-25virtio: Recycle unused recv buffer pages for large skbs in net driverRusty Russell
If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+) skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers): Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase that from 128 to 2048: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to have a separate "small buffer" queue.

2008-07-25virtio net: Allow receiving SG packetsHerbert Xu
Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

2008-07-25virtio net: Add ethtool ops for SG/GSOHerbert Xu
This patch adds some basic ethtool operations to virtio_net so I could test SG without GSO (which was really useful because TSO turned out to be buggy :) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (remove MTU setting)

Poor wee skb :) How about the incremental patch below? Cheers, Mark. Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a queued buffer and fail to transmit it. However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there is a chance space might become available for it.

2008-07-24x86-64: Clean up 'save/restore_i387()' usageLinus Torvalds
Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions, but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup. This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in: arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong to begin with. [ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the 32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate matter. The 32-bit versions are shared - under different names at that! - by both the native x86-32 code and the x86-64 32-bit compatibility code ] Acked-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
