Virtualization - Jun 2017 - [PATCH v11 3/6] virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_CHUNKS

This patch series enhances the existing virtio-balloon with the following new
features:
1) fast ballooning: transfer ballooned pages between the guest and host in
chunks, instead of one by one; and
2) cmdq: a new virtqueue to send commands between the device and driver.
Currently, it supports commands to report memory stats (replace the old statq
mechanism) and report guest unused pages.

From: Liang Li <liang.z.li at intel.com>

This patch saves the deflated pages to a list, instead of the PFN array.
Accordingly, the balloon_pfn_to_page() function is removed.

2.7.4

Add a new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_CHUNKS, which enables
the transfer of the ballooned (i.e. inflated/deflated) pages in
chunks to the host.

The implementation of the previous virtio-balloon is not very
efficient, because the ballooned pages are transferred to the
host one by one. Here is the breakdown of the time in percentage
spent on each step of the balloon inflating process (inflating
7GB of an 8GB idle guest).

1) allocating pages (6.5%)
2) sending PFNs to host (68.3%)
3) address translation (6.1%)
4) madvise (19%)

It takes about 4126ms for the inflating process to complete.
The above profiling shows that the bottlenecks are stage 2)
and stage 4).

This patch optimizes step 2) by transferring pages to the host in
chunks. A chunk consists of guest physically continuous pages.
When the pages are packed into a chunk, they are converted into
balloon page size (4KB) pages. A chunk is offered to the host
via a base address (i.e. the start guest physical address of those
physically continuous pages) and the size (i.e. the total number
of the 4KB balloon size pages). A chunk is described via a
vring_desc struct in the implementation.

By doing so, step 4) can also be optimized by doing address
translation and madvise() in chunks rather than page by page.

With this new feature, the above ballooning process takes ~590ms
resulting in an improvement of ~85%.

TODO: optimize stage 1) by allocating/freeing a chunk of pages
instead of a single page each time.

Add a new vq, cmdq, to handle requests between the device and driver.

This patch implements two commands send from the device and handled in
the driver.
1) cmd VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMDQ_REPORT_STATS: this command is used to report
the guest memory statistics to the host. The stats_vq mechanism is not
used when the cmdq mechanism is enabled.
2) cmd VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMDQ_REPORT_UNUSED_PAGES: this command is used to
report the guest unused pages to the host.

v10->v11 changes:
1) virtio_balloon: use vring_desc to describe a chunk;
2) virtio_ring: support to add an indirect desc table to virtqueue;
3)  virtio_balloon: use cmdq to report guest memory statistics.

This is pretty unreadable.    Please add some indentation.  If you go
over 80 cols, then you might need to break this up into a separate
function.  But, either way, it can't be left like this.

Please stop cc'ing me on things also sent to closed mailing lists
(virtio-dev at lists.oasis-open.org).  I'm happy to review things on open
lists, but I'm not fond of the closed lists bouncing things at me.

This description doesn't tell me very much about what's going on here.
Neither does the comment.

"Pages from the page block may be used immediately after the
 function returns".

Used by who?  Does the "may" here mean that it is OK, or is it a
warning
that the contents will be thrown away immediately?

The hypervisor is going to throw away the contents of these pages,
right?  As soon as the spinlock is released, someone can allocate a
page, and put good data in it.  What keeps the hypervisor from throwing
away good data?

so now these chunks are just s/g list entry.
So let's rename this VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG with a comment:

It's not by default, it's at probe time, right?

Not really, this is the size of the array we use to keep them.

So you still have a home-grown bitmap. I'd like to know why
isn't xbitmap suggested for this purpose by Matthew Wilcox
appropriate. Please add a comment explaining the requirements
from the data structure.

I think it doesn't, the issue is probably that you add a header
as a separate s/g. In any case see below.

This is wrong, virtio spec says s/g size should not exceed VQ size.
If you want to support huge VQ sizes, you can add a fallback to
smaller sizes until it fits in 1 page.

what's this API doing?  Pls add comments. this seems to assume
it will only be called once. it would be better to avoid making
this assumption, just look at what has been allocated
and extend it.

Poking at virtio internals like this is not nice. Pls move to virtio
code.  Also, pages must be read descriptors as host might modify them.

This also lacks viommu support but this is not mandatory as
that is borken atm anyway. I'll send a patch to at least fail cleanly.

This looks wrong. add_one_chunk assumes size in bytes. So should be just
PAGE_SIZE.

How do you know this won't overflow a 32 bit integer? Needs a comment.

Same here I think we've left pfns behind, we are using standard s/g now.

This one's problematic, you aren't supposed to use APIs when device
is not inited yet. Seems to work by luck here. I suggest moving
this to probe, that's where we do a bunch of inits.
And then you can move private init back to allocate too.

So here you are supposed to validate features, not handle OOM
conditions.  BTW we need a fix for vIOMMU - I noticed balloon does not
support that yes.

I'm not really happy with the fact we are duplicating so much code. Most
of this is duplicated from virtqueue_add, isn't it? I imagine you just
need to factor out the code from the following place down:

        /* If the host supports indirect descriptor tables, and we have multiple
         * buffers, then go indirect. FIXME: tune this threshold */
        if (vq->indirect && total_sg > 1 &&
vq->vq.num_free)
                desc = alloc_indirect(_vq, total_sg, gfp);
        else
                desc = NULL;

then reuse that.

Please prefix with virtqueue or virtio (depending on 1st parameter).
You also want a free API to pair with this (even though it's just kfree
right now).

This is something I didn't previously notice.
As you always keep a single buffer in flight, you do not
really need indirect at all. Just add all descriptors
in the ring directly, then kick.

E.g.
	virtqueue_add_first
	virtqueue_add_next
	virtqueue_add_last

?

You also want a flag to avoid allocations but there's no need to do it
per descriptor, set it on vq.
