[RFC PATCH V3 0/5] Hi:

This series tries to access virtqueue metadata through kernel virtual
address instead of copy_user() friends since they had too much
overheads like checks, spec barriers or even hardware feature
toggling.

Test shows about 24% improvement on TX PPS. It should benefit other
cases as well.

Changes from V2:
- fix buggy range overlapping check
- tear down MMU notifier during vhost ioctl to make sure invalidation
  request can read metadata userspace address and vq size without
  holding vq mutex.
Changes from V1:
- instead of pinning pages, use MMU notifier to invalidate vmaps and
  remap duing metadata prefetch
- fix build warning on MIPS

Jason Wang (5):
  vhost: generalize adding used elem
  vhost: fine grain userspace memory accessors
  vhost: rename vq_iotlb_prefetch() to vq_meta_prefetch()
  vhost: introduce helpers to get the size of metadata area
  vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address

[RFC PATCH V3 1/5] vhost: generalize adding used elem

Use one generic vhost_copy_to_user() instead of two dedicated
accessor. This will simplify the conversion to fine grain
accessors. About 2% improvement of PPS were seen during vitio-user
txonly test.

[RFC PATCH V3 2/5] vhost: fine grain userspace memory accessors

This is used to hide the metadata address from virtqueue helpers. This
will allow to implement a vmap based fast accessing to metadata.

[RFC PATCH V3 3/5] vhost: rename vq_iotlb_prefetch() to vq_meta_prefetch()

Rename the function to be more accurate since it actually tries to
prefetch vq metadata address in IOTLB. And this will be used by
following patch to prefetch metadata virtual addresses.

[RFC PATCH V3 5/5] vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address

It was noticed that the copy_user() friends that was used to access
virtqueue metdata tends to be very expensive for dataplane
implementation like vhost since it involves lots of software checks,
speculation barrier, hardware feature toggling (e.g SMAP). The
extra cost will be more obvious when transferring small packets since
the time spent on metadata accessing become significant..

This patch tries to eliminate those overhead by accessing them through
kernel virtual address by vmap(). To make the pages can be migrated,
instead of pinning them through GUP, we use mmu notifiers to
invalidate vmaps and re-establish vmaps during each round of metadata
prefetching in necessary. For devices that doesn't use metadata
prefetching, the memory acessors fallback to normal copy_user()
implementation gracefully. The invalidation was synchronized with
datapath through vq mutex, and in order to avoid hold vq mutex during
range checking, MMU notifier was teared down when trying to modify vq
metadata.

Note that this was only done when device IOTLB is not enabled. We
could use similar method to optimize it in the future.

Tests shows about ~24% improvement on TX PPS when using virtio-user +
vhost_net + xdp1 on TAP:

Before: ~5.0Mpps
After:  ~6.1Mpps

Will review, thanks!
One questions that comes to mind is whether it's all about bypassing
stac/clac.  Could you please include a performance comparison with
nosmap?

I don't hve a problem with this patch but do you have
any idea how come removing what's supposed to be

So here we are modifying userspace memory without marking it dirty.

How about using actual types like struct vring_used etc so we get type

I think it's a reasonable approach.
However I need to look at whether and which mmu notifiers are invoked before
writeback. Do you know?

On machine without SMAP (Sandy Bridge):

Before: 4.8Mpps

After: 5.2Mpps

On machine with SMAP (Broadwell):

Before: 5.0Mpps

After: 6.1Mpps

No smap: 7.5Mpps

I don't know but just looking at the MMU notifier ops definition, 
there's no such callback if my understanding is correct.

Yes, I don't measure, but STAC/CALC is pretty expensive when we are do 
very small copies based on the result of nosmap PPS.
