Pull virtio changes from Rusty Russell: "New workflow: same git trees pulled by linux-next get sent straight to Linus. Git is awkward at shuffling patches compared with quilt or mq, but that doesn't happen often once things get into my -next branch." * 'virtio-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: (24 commits) lguest: fix occasional crash in example launcher. virtio-blk: Disable callback in virtblk_done() virtio_mmio: Don't attempt to create empty virtqueues virtio_mmio: fix off by one error allocating queue drivers/virtio/virtio_pci.c: fix error return code virtio: don't crash when device is buggy virtio: remove CONFIG_VIRTIO_RING virtio: add help to CONFIG_VIRTIO option. virtio: support reserved vqs virtio: introduce an API to set affinity for a virtqueue virtio-ring: move queue_index to vring_virtqueue virtio_balloon: not EXPERIMENTAL any more. virtio-balloon: dependency fix virtio-blk: fix NULL checking in virtblk_alloc_req() virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blk virtio: console: fix error handling in init() function tools: Fix pthread flag for Makefile of trace-agent used by virtio-trace tools: Add guest trace agent as a user tool virtio/console: Allocate scatterlist according to the current pipe size ...

virtio: support reserved vqs

2012-09-28T05:35:15Z

virtio network device multiqueue support reserves vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers). Make it possible to skip initialization for specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name. Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback. Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does not break existing drivers. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio-ring: move queue_index to vring_virtqueue

2012-09-28T05:35:15Z

Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs, this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get the value. This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of virtqueues. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

lguest, x86: handle guest TS bit for lazy/non-lazy fpu host models

2012-09-18T22:52:09Z

Instead of using unlazy_fpu() check if user_has_fpu() and set/clear the host TS bits so that the lguest works fine with both the lazy/non-lazy FPU host models with minimal changes.

lguest: Make sure interrupt is allocated ok by lguest_setup_irq

2012-01-12T05:14:47Z

Make sure the interrupt is allocated correctly by lguest_setup_irq (check the return value of irq_alloc_desc_at for -ENOMEM) Signed-off-by: Stratos Psomadakis Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (cleanups and commentry)

lguest: move the lguest tool to the tools directory

2012-01-12T05:14:47Z

This is a better location instead of having it in Documentation. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell (fixed compile)

lguest: switch segment-voodoo-numbers to readable symbols

2012-01-12T05:14:47Z

When studying lguest's x86 segment descriptor code, it is not longer necessary to have the Intel x86 architecture manual open on the page with the segment descriptor illustration to understand the crazy numbers assigned to both descriptor structure halves a/b. Now the struct desc_struct's fields, like suggested by Glauber de Oliveira Costa in 2008, are used. Signed-off-by: Jacek Galowicz Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.

2012-01-12T05:14:42Z

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU). Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to 14%. By comparison, this branch is in the noise.
