[RFC PATCH 0/3] Sharing MSIX irq for tx/rx queue pairs

Hi all:

This series try to share MSIX irq for each tx/rx queue pair. This is
done through:

- introducing virtio pci channel which are group of virtqueues that
  sharing a single MSIX irq (Patch 1)
- expose channel setting to virtio core api (Patch 2)
- try to use channel setting in virtio-net (Patch 3)

For the transport that does not support channel, channel paramters
were simply ignored. For devices that does not use channel, it can
simply pass NULL or zero to virito core.

With the patch, 1 MSIX irq were saved for each TX/RX queue pair.

Please review.

Thanks

[RFC PATCH 1/3] virtio-pci: introduce channels

This patch introduce virtio pci channel which are virtqueue groups
that sharing a single MSIX irq. This can be used to reduce the irqs
needed by virtio device.

The channel are in fact a list of virtqueues, and
vp_channel_interrupt() was introduced to traverse the list. The
current strategy was kept but is converted to channel internally:

- per vq vectors was implemented through per vq channel
- sharing interrupts was implemented through a single channel for all
  virtqueues

This is done by letting vp_try_to_find_vqs() to accept the array of
channel names and the channels that each vq belongs to.

Virtio-net will be the first user.

[RFC PATCH 3/3] virtio-net: using single MSIX irq for each TX/RX queue pair

This patch try to reduce the number of MSIX irqs required for
virtio-net by sharing a MSIX irq for each TX/RX queue pair through
channels. If transport support channel, about half of the MSIX irqs
were reduced.

Note: an issue with this patch is it may trigger tx irq handler if at
least one more used. We could solve this by checking the used idx and
bypass the tx irq if host does not signal us. (Or just does the old tx
skbs reclaiming before the checking.)

Patch 3 only checks more_used() for tx ring which in fact reduces the
effect of event index and may introduce more tx interrupts. After fixing
this issue, tested with 1 vcpu and 1 queue. No obvious changes in
performance were noticed.

Hi Jason,

        Is "channel" a term you created yourself, or something I was
just unaware of?  irq_group would seem more obvious, if the former.

It seems fairly straightforward.
