Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full
conditions are useful for investigating performance.
Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts:
1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning
from empty to not empty
2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning
from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to
become available
Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations
encountered a full outbound ring buffer:
1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full
condition
2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a
full condition
I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and
observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a
reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.

Changes in v2:
- Added mailing lists to the cc list
- Removed the host to guest interrupt counters proposed in v1 because
they were not accurate
- Added full condition counters for the channel's outbound ring buffer

I think there may be an atomicity problem with the above code. I looked
in the hv_sock code, and didn't see any locks being held when
set_channel_pending_send_size() is called. The original code doesn't need
a lock because it is just storing a single value into pending_send_sz.
In the similar code in hv_ringbuffer_write(), the ring buffer spin lock is held
while the counts are incremented and the out_full_flag is maintained, so all is
good there. But some locking may be needed here. Dexuan knows the hv_sock
code best and can comment on whether there is any higher level synchronization
that prevents multiple threads from running the above code on the same channel.
Even if there is such higher level synchronization, this code probably shouldn't
depend on it for correctness.

There is no 4.21 version: see https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/6/178 :-)

Yes, there is indeed a higher level per-"sock" lock, e.g. in the code path
vsock_stream_sendmsg() -> vsock_stream_has_space() ->
transport->stream_has_space() -> hvs_stream_has_space() ->
hvs_set_channel_pending_send_size(), we acquire the lock by
lock_sock(sk) at the beginning of vsock_stream_sendmsg(), and call
release_sock(sk) at the end of the function.
So we don't have an atomicity issue here for hv_sock, which is the only user
of set_channel_pending_send_size(), so far.
Thanks,

Changes in v3:
- Used the outbound ring buffer spinlock to protect the the full
condition counters in set_channel_pending_send_size()
- Corrected the KernelVersion values for the new entries in
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-bus-vmbus
Changes in v2:
- Added mailing lists to the cc list
- Removed the host to guest interrupt counters proposed in v1 because
they were not accurate
- Added full condition counters for the channel's outbound ring buffer

intr_in_full is u64, which is not the same as unsigned long long.
to be correct you need a cast here.

Discussion on kernel mailing list. Recommends against putting bool
in structures since that pads to full sizeof(int). Could this be

If this is called often, the additional locking will impact performance.

Could I propose another alternative.
It might be more useful to count the guest to host interaction events
rather than the ring buffer.
For example the number of calls to:
vmbus_set_event which means host exit call
vmbus_setevent fastpath using sync_set_bit
calls to rinbuffer_write that returned -EAGAIN
These would require less locking, reuse existing code paths
and not require additional state.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix this issue in all four of the "_show"

Good point. I think that the "intr_out_empty" field is in a good
location, but the "intr_in_full", "out_full_first", and "out_full_total"
fields could be moved to the end of the struct. These variables are used
only when ring buffer full conditions occur. Ring buffer full conditions
shouldn't be encountered often, and, if they are, they're a signal that
changes should probably be made to prevent them.
If you have any other suggestions for this, please let me know.

There are currently 4 other bool variables in this struct. Maybe some or
all of the bool variables could be placed adjacent to each other and
changed into bitfields. I'll need to look into this.

In hv_sock, each call of "hvs_stream_has_space()" results in a call to
"channel_set_pending_send_size()", so this could be a concern. I'll work
on addressing this issue.

I'm not sure that this approach would provide the data that we're
looking for. For example, we're interested in evaluating how often ring
buffer write operations encounter full conditions. For this, we need to
know how many interaction events were caused by the ring buffer being
full. Counting the number of calls to "vmbus_set_event()" and
"vmbus_setevent()" wouldn't allow us to determine what caused the events.
For counting the full conditions, the number of calls to
"ring_buffer_write()" that returned -EAGAIN isn't sufficient because
hv_sock doesn't use the -EAGAIN path to determine that the ring buffer is
full. Therefore, we need to count the number of full conditions in both
"ring_buffer_write()" and "set_channel_pending_send_size()".
Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full
conditions are useful for investigating performance.
Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts:
1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning
from empty to not empty
2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning
from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to
become available
Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations
encountered a full outbound ring buffer:
1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full
condition
2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a
full condition
Increment the outbound full condition counters in the
hv_ringbuffer_write() function because, for most drivers, a full
outbound ring buffer is detected in that function. Also increment the
outbound full condition counters in the set_channel_pending_send_size()
function. In the hv_sock driver, a full outbound ring buffer is detected
and set_channel_pending_send_size() is called before
hv_ringbuffer_write() is called.
I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and
observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a
reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.

Changes in v4:
- In the commit message, added a paragraph describing why the full
condition counters are incremented in two functions.
- In the four new "_show" functions, added a cast to "(unsigned long
long)" in the sprintf() calls. This problem was reported by S.
Hemminger.
- In the vmbus_channel struct definition, moved the three new fields
pertaining to full ring buffers ("intr_in_full", "out_full_total",
"out_full_first") to the bottom of the struct. These fields should
not be used often because full ring buffers should not be encountered
often. This change addresses S. Hemminger's concern about the new
fields causing additional cache misses in the hot path.
- In the set_channel_pending_send_size() function, moved the
acquire/release of the spinlock to inside the if-statement. The
spinlock needs to protect only the incrementing variables. Since full
ring buffers should not be encountered often, the addition of this
spinlock acquire/release should not affect performance. This change
addresses S. Hemminger's concern that additional locking will affect
performance.
NOTE: S. Hemminger also requested that I consider placing the new bool
field, "out_full_flag", in a bitfield. I chose not to make this
change because setting an individual bit in a bitfield is less
efficient than setting the value of a bool.
Changes in v3:
- Used the outbound ring buffer spinlock to protect the the full
condition counters in set_channel_pending_send_size()
- Corrected the KernelVersion values for the new entries in
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-bus-vmbus
Changes in v2:
- Added mailing lists to the cc list
- Removed the host to guest interrupt counters proposed in v1 because
they were not accurate
- Added full condition counters for the channel's outbound ring buffer
