Linux Virtualization - Apr 2023 - [RFC PATCH net 2/3] virtio-net: allow usage of vrings smaller than MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2

At the moment, if a virtio network device uses vrings with less than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 entries, the device won't be functional.

The following condition vq->num_free >= 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS will always
evaluate to false, leading to TX timeouts.

This patchset attempts this fix this bug, and to allow small rings down
to 4 entries.

The first patch introduces a new mechanism in virtio core - it allows to
block features in probe time.

If a virtio drivers blocks features and fails probe, virtio core will
reset the device, re-negotiate the features and probe again.

This is needed since some virtio net features are not supported with
small rings.

This patchset follows a discussion in the mailing list [1].

This fixes only part of the bug, rings with less than 4 entries won't
work.
My intention is to split the effort and fix the RING_SIZE < 4 case in a
follow up patchset.

Maybe we should fail probe if RING_SIZE < 4 until the follow up patchset?

I tested the patchset with SNET DPU (drivers/vdpa/solidrun), with packed
and split VQs, with rings down to 4 entries, with and without
VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF, with big MTUs.

I would appreciate more testing.
Xuan: I wasn't able to test XDP with my setup, maybe you can help with
that?

This patch exports a new virtio core function: virtio_block_feature.
The function should be called during a virtio driver probe.

If a virtio driver blocks features during probe and fails probe, virtio
core will reset the device, try to re-negotiate the new features and
probe again.

2.34.1

At the moment, if a network device uses vrings with less than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 entries, the device won't be functional.

The following condition vq->num_free >= 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS will always
evaluate to false, leading to TX timeouts.

This patch introduces a new variable, single_pkt_max_descs, that holds
the max number of descriptors we may need to handle a single packet.

This patch also detects the small vring during probe, blocks some
features that can't be used with small vrings, and fails probe,
leading to a reset and features re-negotiation.

Features that can't be used with small vrings:
GRO features (VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_*):
When we use small vrings, we may not have enough entries in the ring to
chain page size buffers and form a 64K buffer.
So we may need to allocate 64k of continuous memory, which may be too
much when the system is stressed.

This patch also fixes the MTU size in small vring cases to be up to the
default one, 1500B.
