vhost: multiple worker support

The following patches apply over linus's tree or mst's vhost branch
and my cleanup patchset:

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/virtualization/2021-May/054354.html

These patches allow us to support multiple vhost workers per device. I
ended up just doing Stefan's original idea where userspace has the
kernel create a worker and we pass back the pid. This has the benefit
over the workqueue and userspace thread approach where we only have
one'ish code path in the kernel during setup to detect old tools. The
main IO paths and device/vq setup/teardown paths all use common code.

The kernel patches here allow us to then do N workers device and also
share workers across devices.

I've also included a patch for qemu so you can get an idea of how it
works. If we are ok with the kernel code then I'll break that up into
a patchset and send to qemu-devel.

Results:
--------
When running with the null_blk driver and vhost-scsi I can get 1.2
million IOPs by just running a simple

fio --filename=/dev/sda --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --ioengine=libaio
--iodepth=128  --numjobs=8 --time_based --group_reporting --name=iops
--runtime=60 --eta-newline=1

The VM has 8 vCPUs and sda has 8 virtqueues and we can do a total of
1024 cmds per devices. To get 1.2 million IOPs I did have to tune and
ran the virsh emulatorpin command so the vhost threads were running
on different CPUs than the VM. If the vhost threads share CPUs then I
get around 800K.

For a more real device that are also CPU hogs like iscsi, I can still
get 1 million IOPs using 1 dm-multipath device over 8 iscsi paths
(natively it gets 1.1 million IOPs).

Results/TODO Note:

- I ported the vdpa sim code to support multiple workers and as-is now
it made perf much worse. If I increase vdpa_sim_blk's num queues to 4-8
I get 700K IOPs with the fio command above. However with the multiple
worker support it drops to 400K. The problem is the vdpa_sim lock
and the iommu_lock. If I hack (like comment out locks or not worry about
data corruption or crashes) then I can get around 1.2M - 1.6M IOPs with
8 queues and fio command above.

So these patches could help other drivers, but it will just take more
work to remove those types of locks. I was hoping the 2 items could be
done indepentently since it helps vhost-scsi immediately.


TODO:
- Stefano has 2 questions about security issues passing the pid back
to userspace and if we should do a feature bit. We are waiting to hear
back from the list.

v2:
- change loop that we take a refcount to the worker in
- replaced pid == -1 with define.
- fixed tabbing/spacing coding style issue
- use hash instead of list to lookup workers.
- I dropped the patch that added an ioctl cmd to get a vq's worker's
pid. I saw we might do a generic netlink interface instead.

[PATCH 1/9] vhost: move worker thread fields to new struct

This is just a prep patch. It moves the worker related fields to a new
vhost_worker struct and moves the code around to create some helpers that
will be used in the next patches.

[PATCH 2/9] vhost: move vhost worker creation to kick setup

The next patch will add new ioctls that allows userspace to create workers
and bind them to devs and vqs after VHOST_SET_OWNER. To support older
tools, newer tools that want to go wild with worker threads, and newer
tools that want the old/default behavior this patch moves the default
worker setup to the kick setup.

After the first vq's kick/poll setup is done we could start to get works
queued, so this is the point when we must have a worker setup. If we are
using older tools or the newer tools just want the default single vhost
thread per dev behavior then it will automatically be done here. If the
tools are using the newer ioctls that have already created the workers
then we also detect that here and do nothing.

[PATCH 3/9] vhost: modify internal functions to take a vhost_worker

The final patches will allow us to have multiple vhost_workers per device
and be able to share them across devices. To prepare for that, this patch
allow us our internal work queueing, flush and cgroup attach functions to
take a vhost_worker as an arg.

The poll code required a change to the drivers, so the next patch will
convert that code.

[PATCH 4/9] vhost: allow vhost_polls to use different vhost_workers

This allows vhost_polls to use the worker the vq the poll is associated
with.

This also exports a helper vhost_vq_work_queue which is used here
internally, and will be used in the vhost-scsi patches.

[PATCH 5/9] vhost-scsi: flush IO vqs then send TMF rsp

With one worker we will always send the scsi cmd responses then send the
TMF rsp, because LIO will always complete the scsi cmds first which
calls vhost_scsi_release_cmd to add them to the work queue.

When the next patches adds multiple worker support, the worker threads
could still be sending their responses when the tmf's work is run.
So this patch has vhost-scsi flush the IO vqs on other worker threads
before we send the tmf response.

[PATCH 6/9] vhost-scsi: make SCSI cmd completion per vq

This patch separates the scsi cmd completion code paths so we can complete
cmds based on their vq instead of having all cmds complete on the same
worker/CPU. This will be useful with the next patch that allows us to
create mulitple worker threads and bind them to different vqs, so we can
have completions running on different threads/CPUs.

[PATCH 7/9] vhost: allow userspace to create workers

This patch allows userspace to create workers and bind them to vqs, so you
can have N workers per dev and also share N workers with M vqs. The next
patch will allow sharing across devices.

[PATCH 8/9] vhost: add vhost_dev pointer to vhost_work

The next patch allows a vhost_worker to handle different devices. To
prepare for that, this patch adds a pointer to the device on the work so
we can get to the different mms in the vhost_worker thread.

[PATCH 9/9] vhost: support sharing workers across devs

This allows a worker to handle multiple device's vqs.

TODO:
- The worker is attached to the cgroup of the device that created it. In
this patch you can share workers with devices with different owners which
could be in different cgroups. Do we want to restict sharing workers with
devices that have the same owner (dev->mm value)?

There is no comparison against a baseline, but I guess it would be the
same 8 vCPU guest with single queue vhost-scsi?

Cool, thank you for taking a look. That's useful info for Stefano. vDPA
and vhost can be handled independently though in the long term hopefully
they can share code.

When should this function still be used? A doc comment contrasting it to
vhost_work_queue_on() would be helpful. I would expect callers to switch
to that instead of queuing work on dev->workers[0].

It's probably not necessary to poll all workers:

drivers/vhost/net.c calls vhost_has_work() to busy poll a specific
virtqueue. If the vq:worker mapping is 1:1 or N:1 then vhost_has_work()
should be extended to include the struct vhost_virtqueue so we can poll
just that vq worker's work_list.>  /* Caller must have device mutex */

GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so that vhost memory associated with a process (the
one that invoked the ioctl) is accounted? This may get trickier if the
workers are shared between processes.

The same applies for struct vhost_worker in vhost_worker_create().

The maximum number of kthreads created is limited by
vhost_dev_init(nvqs)? For example VHOST_SCSI_MAX_VQ 128.

IIUC kthread_create is not limited by or accounted against the current
task, so I'm a little worried that a process can create a lot of
kthreads.

I haven't investigated other kthread_create() users reachable from
userspace applications to see how they bound the number of threads
effectively.

Any thoughts?

Another candidate for GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT.

Hmm...should we really append to workers[] in the vhost_worker_find()
case?

h_node is a generic name. If you're willing to use a longer name then
vhost_workers_node would make it clear which hlist this is associated
with.

It seems risky to allow userspace process A to "share" a vhost worker
thread with userspace process B based on a matching pid alone. Should
they have ptrace_may_access() or similar?

For example, two competing users could sabotague each other by running
lots of work items on their competitor's vhost worker thread.
