Rather than assume a single port, add a 'struct ports_device' which stores data related to all the ports for that device. Currently, there's only one port and is hooked up with hvc, but that will change. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Keep a list of all ports being used as a console, and provide a lock and a lookup function. The hvc callbacks only give us a vterm number, so we need to map this. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

vq operations depend on vq->data[i] being NULL to figure out if the vq entry is in use (since the previous patch).

There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown. This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information.

Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the storage topology. Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up, but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in the storage world.

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control memory access ordering. Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use) (compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64). We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller invokes two virtio methods in parallel. The barriers attempt to ensure timely update of the ->in_use flag. But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to detect it. Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more chance of hiding real problems. Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code... CC: Michael S.

This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)". I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection cannot be done in interrupt context. One solution is to handle the interrupt by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request(). Rusty, is this a saner way of doing business? There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on. In stats_request, I update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread. The kthread uses vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable. Do I need a memory barrier between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct value? My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some confirmation from the experts.

Changes since V3: - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes - Minor coding style updates Changes since V2: - Increase stat field size to 64 bits - Report all sizes in kb (not pages) - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion Changes since V1: - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor. This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

803bf5ec ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to 20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all. This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does this already. This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being killed.

This is retry of reverted 859ddf09 ("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs. * pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full(). * The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer. Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation. The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.

Commit 84b79f8d (drm/i915: Fix crash while aborting hibernation) attempted to fix a regression introduced by commit cbda12d7 (drm/i915: implement new pm ops for i915), but it went too far trying to split the freeze/suspend and resume/thaw parts of the code. As a result, it introduced another regression, which only is visible on some systems. Fix the problem by merging i915_drm_suspend() with i915_drm_freeze() and moving some code from i915_resume() into i915_drm_thaw(), so that intel_opregion_free() and intel_opregion_init() are also executed in the freeze and thaw code paths, respectively.
