[PATCH v3 0/5] vsock/virtio: optimizations to increase the throughput

This series tries to increase the throughput of virtio-vsock with slight
changes.
While I was testing the v2 of this series I discovered an huge use of memory,
so I added patch 1 to mitigate this issue. I put it in this series in order
to better track the performance trends.

v3:
- Patch 1: added a threshold to copy only small packets [Jason]

- Patch 1: replaced the allocation of a new buffer with a copy of small packets
           into the buffer of last packed queued. [Jason, Stefan]

- Removed 3 patches from the series:
  - "[PATCH v2 2/8] vsock/virtio: free packets during the socket
release"
    Sent as a separate patch. It is already upstream.

  - "[PATCH v2 7/8] vsock/virtio: increase RX buffer size to 64 KiB"
and
    "[PATCH v2 8/8] vsock/virtio: make the RX buffer size tunable"
    As Jason suggested, we can do the 64KB buffer in the future with the
    conversion of using skb.

- Patches 2, 3, 4, 5 are the same of v2 (change only the index since 2/8 was
  sent as a separated patch)

v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10938743

v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10885431

Below are the benchmarks step by step. I used iperf3 [1] modified with VSOCK
support. As Micheal suggested in the v1, I booted host and guest with
'nosmap'.
I added two new rows with 32 and 128 bytes, to test small packets.

A brief description of patches:
- Patches 1: limit the memory usage with an extra copy for small packets
- Patches 2+3: fix locking and reduce the number of credit update messages
               sent to the transmitter
- Patches 4+5: allow the host to split packets on multiple buffers and use
               VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE as the max packet size allowed

As Stefan suggested in the v1, I measured also the efficiency in this way:
    efficiency = Mbps / (%CPU_Host + %CPU_Guest)

The '%CPU_Guest' is taken inside the VM. I know that it is not the best
way,
but it's provided for free from iperf3 and could be an indication.

[PATCH v3 1/5] vsock/virtio: limit the memory used per-socket

Since virtio-vsock was introduced, the buffers filled by the host
and pushed to the guest using the vring, are directly queued in
a per-socket list. These buffers are preallocated by the guest
with a fixed size (4 KB).

The maximum amount of memory used by each socket should be
controlled by the credit mechanism.
The default credit available per-socket is 256 KB, but if we use
only 1 byte per packet, the guest can queue up to 262144 of 4 KB
buffers, using up to 1 GB of memory per-socket. In addition, the
guest will continue to fill the vring with new 4 KB free buffers
to avoid starvation of other sockets.

This patch mitigates this issue copying the payload of small
packets (< 128 bytes) into the buffer of last packet queued, in
order to avoid wasting memory.

[PATCH v3 2/5] vsock/virtio: fix locking for fwd_cnt and buf_alloc

fwd_cnt is written with rx_lock, so we should read it using
the same spinlock also if we are in the TX path.

Move also buf_alloc under rx_lock and add a missing locking
when we modify it.

[PATCH v3 3/5] vsock/virtio: reduce credit update messages

In order to reduce the number of credit update messages,
we send them only when the space available seen by the
transmitter is less than VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE.

[PATCH v3 4/5] vhost/vsock: split packets to send using multiple buffers

If the packets to sent to the guest are bigger than the buffer
available, we can split them, using multiple buffers and fixing
the length in the packet header.
This is safe since virtio-vsock supports only stream sockets.

[PATCH v3 5/5] vsock/virtio: change the maximum packet size allowed

Since now we are able to split packets, we can avoid limiting
their sizes to VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE.
Instead, we can use VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE as the max
packet size.

This locking doesn't do anything other than to strongly order the
buf_size store to occur before the buf_alloc one.

If you need a memory barrier, use one.
