Linux Virtualization - Sep 2019 - [PATCH 1/2] Revert "vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address"

Hi:

Per request from Michael and Jason, the metadata accelreation is
reverted in this version and rework in next version.

Please review.

Thanks

2.19.1

It was reported that metadata acceleration introduces several issues,
so this patch reverts commit ff466032dc9e5a61217f22ea34b2df932786bbfc,
73f628ec9e6bcc45b77c53fe6d0c0ec55eaf82af and
0b4a7092ffe568a55bf8f3cefdf79ff666586d91.

We will rework it on the next version.

2.19.1

This is a rework on the commit 7f466032dc9e ("vhost: access vq
metadata through kernel virtual address").

It was noticed that the copy_to/from_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 barriers, 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 more significant.

This patch tries to eliminate those overheads by accessing them
through direct mapping of those pages. Invalidation callbacks is
implemented for co-operation with general VM management (swap, KSM,
THP or NUMA balancing). We will try to get the direct mapping of vq
metadata before each round of packet processing if it doesn't
exist. If we fail, we will simplely fallback to copy_to/from_user()
friends.

This invalidation, direct mapping access and set are synchronized
through spinlock. This takes a step back from the original commit
7f466032dc9e ("vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual
address") which tries to RCU which is suspicious and hard to be
reviewed. This won't perform as well as RCU because of the atomic,
this could be addressed by the future optimization.

This method might does not work for high mem page which requires
temporary mapping so we just fallback to normal
copy_to/from_user() and may not for arch that has virtual tagged cache
since extra cache flushing is needed to eliminate the alias. This will
result complex logic and bad performance. For those archs, this patch
simply go for copy_to/from_user() friends. This is done by ruling out
kernel mapping codes through ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE.

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

Tests shows at most about 22% improvement on TX PPS when using
virtio-user + vhost_net + xdp1 + TAP on 4.0GHz Kaby Lake.

        SMAP on | SMAP off
Before: 4.9Mpps | 6.9Mpps
After:  6.0Mpps | 7.5Mpps

On a elder CPU Sandy Bridge without SMAP support. TX PPS doesn't see
any difference.

There are a bunch of patches in the queue already that will help
vhost, and I a working on one for next cycle that will help alot more
too.

I think you should apply the revert this cycle and rebase the other
patch for next..

Not sure need to set page dirty under page lock.

I will check those patches, but if you can give me some pointers or 
keywords it would be much appreciated.

Yes, the plan is to revert in this release cycle.

Thanks

Just to make sure I understand the issue. Do you mean there's no need 
for set_page_dirty() here? If yes, is there any other function that 
already did this?

Thanks

I am confused by the above.
What I see upstream is 7f466032dc.

commit 7f466032dc9e5a61217f22ea34b2df932786bbfc
Author: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com>
Date:   Fri May 24 04:12:18 2019 -0400

    vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address

so this is what I reverted.

Pls take a look, and let me know if you see issues.

Thanks!

So if we drop speculation barrier,
there's a problem here in access will now be speculated.
This effectively disables the defence in depth effect of
b3bbfb3fb5d25776b8e3f361d2eedaabb0b496cd
    x86: Introduce __uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec


So now we need to sprinkle array_index_nospec or barrier_nospec over the
code whenever we use an index we got from userspace.
See below for some examples.

Why is not Kaby Lake with SMAP off the same as Sandy Bridge?

Since idx can be speculated, I guess we need array_index_nospec here?

This seems to be used during init. Why do we bother
accelerating this?

I also wonder about the userspace address we get eventualy.
It would seem that we need to prevent that from speculating -
and that seems like a good idea even if this patch isn't
applied. As you are playing with micro-benchmarks, maybe
you could the below patch?
It's unfortunately untested.
Thanks a lot in advance!

===>
vhost: block speculation of translated descriptors

iovec addresses coming from vhost are assumed to be
pre-validated, but in fact can be speculated to a value
out of range.

Userspace address are later validated with array_index_nospec so we can
be sure kernel info does not leak through these addresses, but vhost
must also not leak userspace info outside the allowed memory table to
guests.

Following the defence in depth principle, make sure
the address is not validated out of node range.
