2011-12-15block: qemu_aio_get does not return NULLPaolo Bonzini1-4/+0
Initially done with the following semantic patch: @ rule1 @ expression E; statement S; @@ E = qemu_aio_get (...); ( - if (E == NULL) { ... } | - if (E) { <...

2011-09-20block: avoid SIGUSR2Frediano Ziglio1-24/+9
Now that iothread is always compiled sending a signal seems only an additional step. This patch also avoid writing to two pipe (one from signal and one in qemu_service_io). Work with kvm enabled or disabled. strace output is more readable (less syscalls).

2011-08-23posix-aio-compat: fix latency issuesAvi Kivity1-2/+42
In certain circumstances, posix-aio-compat can incur a lot of latency: - threads are created by vcpu threads, so if vcpu affinity is set, aio threads inherit vcpu affinity. This can cause many aio threads to compete for one cpu. - we can create up to max_threads (64) aio threads in one go; since a pthread_create can take around 30μs, we have up to 2ms of cpu time under a global lock. Fix by: - moving thread creation to the main thread, so we inherit the main thread's affinity instead of the vcpu thread's affinity. - if a thread is currently being created, and we need to create yet another thread, let thread being born create the new thread, reducing the amount of time we spend under the main thread. - drop the local lock while creating a thread (we may still hold the global mutex, though) Note this doesn't eliminate latency completely; scheduler artifacts or lack of host cpu resources can still cause it. We may want pre-allocated threads when this cannot be tolerated. Thanks to Uli Obergfell of Red Hat for his excellent analysis and suggestions.

2011-08-02async: Remove AsyncContextKevin Wolf1-11/+0
The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts). Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be removed. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

A thread should only be counted as idle when it really is waiting for new requests. Without this patch, sometimes too few threads are started as busy threads are counted as idle. Not sure if it makes a difference in practice outside some artificial qemu-io/qemu-img tests, but I think the change makes sense in any case. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896, f40d753718c72693c5f520f0d9899f6e50395e94, 96555a96d724016e13190b28cffa3bc929ac60dc and 3990d09adf4463eca200ad964cc55643c33feb50 but the fixes were fragile.

Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it asynchronously. Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix. Note that while Linux AIO implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.

2009-08-27raw-posix: refactor AIO supportChristoph Hellwig1-73/+252
Currently the raw-posix.c code contains a lot of knowledge about the asynchronous I/O scheme that is mostly implemented in posix-aio-compat.c. All this code does not really belong here and is getting a bit in the way of implementing native AIO on Linux. So instead move all the guts of the AIO implementation into posix-aio-compat.c (which might need a better name, btw). There's now a very small interface between the AIO providers and raw-posix.c: - an init routine is called from raw_open_common to return an AIO context for this drive. An AIO implementation may either re-use one context for all drives, or use a different one for each as the Linux native AIO support will do. - an submit routine is called from the aio_reav/writev methods to submit an AIO request There are no indirect calls involved in this interface as we need to decide which one to call manually. We will only call the Linux AIO native init function if we were requested to by vl.c, and we will only call the native submit function if we are asked to and the request is properly aligned. That's also the reason why the alignment check actually does the inverse move and now goes into raw-posix.c. The old posix-aio-compat.h headers is removed now that most of it's content is private to posix-aio-compat.c, and instead we add a new block/raw-posix-aio.h headers is created containing only the tiny interface between raw-posix.c and the AIO implementation.

2009-04-07push down vector linearization to posix-aio-compat.c (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori1-26/+92
Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev. Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread. Qcow and qcow2 propably want to be adopted to directly deal with multi-segment requests, but that can be implemented later.

2009-03-28new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori1-34/+66
Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the new world order. I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an example. Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple. Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough on a non-Linux OS. Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest to a host CDROM device.

2009-02-21Avoid thundering herd problemmalc1-4/+4
Broadcast was used so that the I/O threads would wakeup, reset their ts values and all but one go to sleep, in other words an optimization to prevent threads from exiting in presence of continuing I/O activity. Spurious wakeups make the looping around cond_timedwait with ever reinitialized ts potentially unsafe and as such ts in no longer reinitilized inside the loop, hence switch to signal is warranted and this benefits of this particlaur optimization are lost. (It's worth noting that timed variants of pthread calls use realtime clock by default, and therefore can hang "forever" should the host time be changed. Unfortunatelly not all host systems QEMU runs on support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and/or pthread_condattr_setclock with this value) git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6632 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

2009-01-13Fix race in POSIX AIO emulation (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-7/+2
When we cancel an AIO request that is already being processed by aio_thread, qemu_paio_cancel should return QEMU_PAIO_NOTCANCELED as long as aio_thread isn't done with this request. But as the latter currently updates aiocb->ret after every block of the request, we may report QEMU_PAIO_ALLDONE too early. Futhermore, in case some zero-length request should have been queued, aiocb->ret is never set to != -EINPROGRESS and callers like raw_aio_cancel could get stuck in an endless loop. Fix those issues by updating aiocb->ret _after_ the request has been fully processed. This also simplifies the locking.

2008-12-12Replace posix-aio with custom thread poolaliguori1-0/+202
glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations. 1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing file descriptors which is hideously ugly 2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write operation to properly support a zero-copy API. What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization. This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though. This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads. It immediately eliminates the need for fd pooling. It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some circumstances, even better).
