[PATCHv3 2/2] vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server
What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a
tun-like device. In this version I only support raw socket as a backend,
which can be bound to e.g. SR IOV, or to macvlan device. Backend is
also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc.
Status:
This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
I have not run any benchmarks yet, compared to userspace, I expect to
see improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet) but not
bandwidth/CPU (as TSO and interrupt mitigation are not supported).
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- TSO
- interrupt mitigation
- zero copy

In qemu, we currently support some very similar transports: * raw packet (not in a release yet) * tcp connection * UDP multicast * tap character device * VDE with Unix local sockets My primary interest right now is the tap support, but I think it would be interesting in general to allow different file descriptor types in vhost_net_set_socket. AFAICT, there are two major differences that we need to handle for this: * most of the transports are sockets, tap uses a character device. This could be dealt with by having both a struct socket * in struct vhost_net *and* a struct file *, or by always keeping the struct file and calling vfs_readv/vfs_writev for the data transport in both cases. * Each transport has a slightly different header, we have - raw ethernet frames (raw, udp multicast, tap) - 32-bit length + raw frames, possibly fragmented (tcp) - 80-bit header + raw frames, possibly fragmented (tap with vnet_hdr) To handle these three cases, we need either different ioctl numbers so that vhost_net can choose the right one, or a flags field in VHOST_NET_SET_SOCKET, like #define VHOST_NET_RAW 1 #define VHOST_NET_LEN_HDR 2 #define VHOST_NET_VNET_HDR 4 struct vhost_net_socket { unsigned int flags; int fd; }; #define VHOST_NET_SET_SOCKET _IOW(VHOST_VIRTIO, 0x30, struct vhost_net_socket) If both of those are addressed, we can treat vhost_net as a generic way to do network handling in the kernel independent of the qemu model (raw, tap, ...) for it. Your qemu patch would have to work differently, so instead of qemu -net nic,vhost=eth0 you would do the same as today with the raw packet socket extension qemu -net nic -net raw,ifname=eth0 Qemu could then automatically try to use vhost_net, if it's available in the kernel, or just fall back on software vlan otherwise. Does that make sense? Arnd <>
