When listing very large directories via NFS, clients may take a long
time to complete. There are about three factors involved:
First of all, ls and practically every other method of listing a
directory including python os.listdir and find rely on libc readdir().
However readdir() only reads 32K of directory entries at a time, which
means that if you have a lot of files in the same directory, it is going
to take an insanely long time to read all the directory entries.
Secondly, libc readdir() reads 32K of directory entries at a time, in
kernel space 32K buffer split into 8 pages. One NFS readdirplus rpc will
be called for one page, which introduces many readdirplus rpc calls.
Lastly, one NFS readdirplus rpc asks for 32K data (filled by nfs_dentry)
to fill one page (filled by dentry), we found that nearly one third of
data was wasted.
To solve above problems, pagecache mechanism was introduced. One NFS
readdirplus rpc will ask for a large data (more than 32k), the data can
fill more than one page, the cached pages can be used for next readdir
call. This can reduce many readdirplus rpc calls and improve readdirplus
performance.
TESTING:
When listing very large directories(include 300 thousand files) via NFS
time ls -l /nfs_mount | wc -l

Because we clear XPRT_SOCK_DATA_READY before reading, we can end up
with a situation where new data arrives, causing xs_data_ready() to
queue up a second receive worker job for the same socket, which then
immediately gets stuck waiting on the transport receive mutex.
The fix is to only clear XPRT_SOCK_DATA_READY once we're done reading,
and then to use poll() to check if we might need to queue up a new

[Why]
If the cursor pos passed from DM is less than the plane_state->dst_rect
top left corner then the unsigned cursor pos wraps around to a large
positive number since cursor pos is a u32.
There was an attempt to guard against this in hubp1_cursor_set_position
by checking the src_x_offset and src_y_offset and offseting the
cursor hotspot within hubp1_cursor_set_position.
However, the cursor position itself is still being programmed
incorrectly as a large value.
This manifests itself visually as the cursor disappearing or containing
strange artifacts near the middle of the screen on raven.
[How]
Don't subtract the destination rect top left corner from the pos but
add it to the hotspot instead. This happens before the pos gets
passed into hubp1_cursor_set_position.
This achieves the same result but avoids the subtraction wrap around.
With this fix the original cursor programming logic can be used again.

The invariant TSC bit has the following meaning:
"The time stamp counter in newer processors may support an enhancement,
referred to as invariant TSC. Processor's support for invariant TSC
is indicated by CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]. The invariant TSC will run
at a constant rate in all ACPI P-, C-. and T-states. This is the
architectural behavior moving forward. On processors with invariant TSC
support, the OS may use the TSC for wall clock timer services (instead
of ACPI or HPET timers). TSC reads are much more efficient and do not
incur the overhead associated with a ring transition or access to a
platform resource."
IOW, TSC does not change frequency. In such case, and with
TSC scaling hardware available to handle migration, it is possible
to use the TSC clocksource directly, whose system calls are
faster.
Reduce the rating of kvmclock clocksource to allow TSC clocksource
to be the default if invariant TSC is exposed.

This value has significant effect on how tolerant we are to outliers.
On the standard case, higher value is better - we will spend more time
in the polling busyloop, handle events/interrupts faster and result
in better performance.
But on outliers it puts us in a busy loop that does nothing.
Even if the shrink factor is zero, we will still waste time on the first
iteration.
The optimal value changes between different workloads. It depends on
outliers rate and polling sessions length.

zapping all shadow pages is a last resort, i.e. making the helper less

Paolo expressed a concern that kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() could have a
quadratic runtime[1], i.e. restarting the spte walk while zapping only
MMIO sptes could result in re-walking large portions of the list over
and over due to the non-MMIO sptes encountered before the restart not
being removed.
At the time, the concern was legitimate as the walk was restarted when
any spte was zapped. But that is no longer the case as the walk is now
restarted iff one or more children have been zapped, which is necessary
because zapping children makes the active_mmu_pages list unstable.
Furthermore, it should be impossible for an MMIO spte to have children,
i.e. zapping an MMIO spte should never result in zapping children. In
other words, kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() should never restart its walk, and
so should always execute in linear time. WARN if this assertion fails.
Although it should never be needed, leave the restart logic in place.
In normal operation, the cost is at worst an extra CMP+Jcc, and if for
some reason the list does become unstable, not restarting would likely
crash KVM, or worse, the kernel.

The return value of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() has evolved to become
overloaded to convey two separate pieces of information. 1) was at
least one page zapped and 2) has the list of MMU pages become unstable.
In it's original incarnation (as kvm_mmu_zap_page()), there was no
return value at all. Commit 0738541396 ("KVM: MMU: awareness of new
kvm_mmu_zap_page behaviour") added a return value in preparation for
commit 4731d4c7a0 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"). Although
the return value was of type 'int', it was actually used as a boolean
to indicate whether or not active_mmu_pages may have become unstable due
to zapping children. Walking a list with list_for_each_entry_safe()
only protects against deleting/moving the current entry, i.e. zapping a
child page would break iteration due to modifying any number of entries.
Later, commit 60c8aec6e2 ("KVM: MMU: use page array in unsync walk")
modified mmu_zap_unsync_children() to return an approximation of the
number of children zapped. This was not intentional, it was simply a
side effect of how the code was written.
The unintented side affect was then morphed into an actual feature by
commit 77662e0028 ("KVM: MMU: fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling
path"), which modified kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() to use the number of
zapped pages when determining the number of MMU pages in use by the VM.
Finally, commit 54a4f0239f ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
the number of pages it actually freed") added the initial page to the
return value to make its behavior more consistent with what most users
would expect. Incorporating the initial parent page in the return value
of kvm_mmu_zap_page() breaks the original usage of restarting a list
walk on a non-zero return value to handle a potentially unstable list,
i.e. walks will unnecessarily restart when any page is zapped.
Fix this by restoring the original behavior of kvm_mmu_zap_page(), i.e.
return a boolean to indicate that the list may be unstable and move the
number of zapped children to a dedicated parameter. Since the majority
of callers to kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() don't care about either return
value, preserve the current definition of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() by
making it a wrapper of a new helper, __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(). This
avoids having to update every call site and also provides cleaner code
for functions that only care about the number of pages zapped.

Be paranoid and restart the walk if mmu_lock is dropped to avoid any

Although kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() can theoretically take action on
invalid pages, e.g. to zap unsync children, functionally it's not

of kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_all_pages() and paves the way for removing
the fast invalidate mechanism altogether.

Remove x86 KVM's fast invalidate mechanism, i.e. revert all patches
from the original series[1].
Though not explicitly stated, for all intents and purposes the fast
invalidate mechanism was added to speed up the scenario where removing
a memslot, e.g. as part of accessing reading PCI ROM, caused KVM to
flush all shadow entries[1]. Now that the memslot case flushes only
shadow entries belonging to the memslot, i.e. doesn't use the fast
invalidate mechanism, the only remaining usage of the mechanism are
when the VM is being destroyed and when the MMIO generation rolls
over.
When a VM is being destroyed, either there are no active vcpus, i.e.
there's no lock contention, or the VM has ungracefully terminated, in
which case we want to reclaim its pages as quickly as possible, i.e.
not release the MMU lock if there are still CPUs executing in the VM.
The MMIO generation scenario is almost literally a one-in-a-million
occurrence, i.e. is not a performance sensitive scenario.
Given that lock-breaking is not desirable (VM teardown) or irrelevant
(MMIO generation overflow), remove the fast invalidate mechanism to
simplify the code (a small amount) and to discourage future code from
zapping all pages as using such a big hammer should be a last restort.
This reverts commit f6f8adeef5.

Modify kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_pages_in_memslot(), a.k.a. the x86 MMU's
handler for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot(), to zap only the pages/PTEs
that actually belong to the memslot being removed. This improves
performance, especially why the deleted memslot has only a few shadow
entries, or even no entries. E.g. a microbenchmark to access regular
memory while concurrently reading PCI ROM to trigger memslot deletion
showed a 5% improvement in throughput.

...now that KVM won't explode by moving it out of bit 0. Using bit 63

x86 captures a subset of the memslot generation (19 bits) in its MMIO
sptes so that it can expedite emulated MMIO handling by checking only
the releveant spte, i.e. doesn't need to do a full page fault walk.
Because the MMIO sptes capture only 19 bits (due to limited space in
the sptes), there is a non-zero probability that the MMIO generation
could wrap, e.g. after 500k memslot updates. Since normal usage is
extremely unlikely to result in 500k memslot updates, a hack was added
by commit 69c9ea93ea ("KVM: MMU: init kvm generation close to mmio
wrap-around value") to offset the MMIO generation in order to trigger
a wraparound, e.g. after 150 memslot updates.
When separate memslot generation sequences were assigned to each
address space, commit 00f034a12f ("KVM: do not bias the generation
number in kvm_current_mmio_generation") moved the offset logic into the
initialization of the memslot generation itself so that the per-address
space bit(s) were not dropped/corrupted by the MMIO shenanigans.
Remove the offset hack for three reasons:
- While it does exercise x86's kvm_mmu_invalidate_mmio_sptes(), simply
wrapping the generation doesn't actually test the interesting case
of having stale MMIO sptes with the new generation number, e.g. old
sptes with a generation number of 0.
- Triggering kvm_mmu_invalidate_mmio_sptes() prematurely makes its
performance rather important since the probability of invalidating
MMIO sptes jumps from "effectively never" to "fairly likely". This
limits what can be done in future patches, e.g. to simplify the
invalidation code, as doing so without proper caution could lead to
a noticeable performance regression.
- Forcing the memslots generation, which is a 64-bit number, to wrap
prevents KVM from assuming the memslots generation will never wrap.
This in turn prevents KVM from using an arbitrary bit for the
"update in-progress" flag, e.g. using bit 63 would immediately
collide with using a large value as the starting generation number.
The "update in-progress" flag is effectively forced into bit 0 so
that it's (subtly) taken into account when incrementing the
generation.

The code to propagate the memslots generation number into MMIO sptes is
a bit convoluted. The "what" is relatively straightfoward, e.g. the
comment explaining which bits go where is quite readable, but the "how"
requires a lot of staring to understand what is happening. For example,
'MMIO_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is actually used to calculate the high bits of the
spte, while 'MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is used to calculate the low bits.
Refactor the code to:
- use #defines whose values align with the bits defined in the comment
- use consistent code for both the high and low mask
- explicitly highlight the handling of bit 0 (update in-progress flag)
- explicitly call out that the defines are for MMIO sptes (to avoid
confusion with the per-vCPU MMIO cache, which uses the full memslots
generation)
In addition to making the code a little less magical, this paves the way
for moving the update in-progress flag to bit 63 without having to
simultaneously rewrite all of the MMIO spte code.

KVM currently uses an 'unsigned int' for the MMIO generation number
despite it being derived from the 64-bit memslots generation and
being propagated to (potentially) 64-bit sptes. There is no hidden
agenda behind using an 'unsigned int', it's done simply because the
MMIO generation will never set bits above bit 19.
Passing a u64 will allow the "update in-progress" flag to be relocated
from bit 0 to bit 63 and removes the need to cast the generation back
to a u64 when propagating it to a spte.

KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f159 ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

When installing new memslots, KVM sets bit 0 of the generation number to
indicate that an update is in-progress. Until the update is complete,
there are no guarantees as to whether a vCPU will see the old or the new
memslots. Explicity prevent caching MMIO accesses so as to avoid using
an access cached from the old memslots after the new memslots have been
installed.
Note that it is unclear whether or not disabling caching during the
update window is strictly necessary as there is no definitive
documentation as to what ordering guarantees KVM provides with respect
to updating memslots. That being said, the MMIO spte code does not
allow reusing sptes created while an update is in-progress, and the
associated documentation explicitly states:
We do not want to use an MMIO sptes created with an odd generation
number, ... If KVM is unlucky and creates an MMIO spte while the
low bit is 1, the next access to the spte will always be a cache miss.
At the very least, disabling the per-vCPU MMIO cache during updates will
make its behavior consistent with the MMIO spte behavior and
documentation.

The check to detect a wrap of the MMIO generation explicitly looks for a
generation number of zero. Now that unique memslots generation numbers
are assigned to each address space, only address space 0 will get a
generation number of exactly zero when wrapping. E.g. when address
space 1 goes from 0x7fffe to 0x80002, the MMIO generation number will
wrap to 0x2. Adjust the MMIO generation to strip the address space
modifier prior to checking for a wrap.
