[SCSI] FC Pass Thru support
Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.
The interface supports the following operations:
On an fc_host basis:
Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
On an fc_rport basis:
Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.
The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
include/scsi/scsi.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
even then you'll be missing some.
For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
using that to do the test.
Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

lguest: suppress notifications in example Launcher
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.
So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.
There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receive
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).
However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds. It's close to the noise though.
I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs.
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
need to interrupt the Guest. This happens as a side effect of
spurious notifications.
Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.
A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example Launcher
Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one. The console
input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
interrupts to the Guest at the right time.
The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.
In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
(1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
(2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threads
Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
was simply too painful to bear).
The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.
Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
device again.
Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
interrupts in the Guest directly.
The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it
home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before:
* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher
* Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring

lguest: use eventfds for device notification
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.
A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.
The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of

lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!
Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on

Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0

Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring

The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

Virtio devices are supposed to negotiate features before they start using

or probe the disk (virtio_blk).
This currently doesn't matter since no existing backend is strict about

module: trim exception table on init free.
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.
