Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 0/4] vsock/virtio/vhost: MSG_ZEROCOPY preparations

Hello,

this patchset is first of three parts of another big patchset for
MSG_ZEROCOPY flag support:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/

During review of this series, Stefano Garzarella <[email protected]>
suggested to split it for three parts to simplify review and merging:

1) virtio and vhost updates (for fragged skbs) <--- this patchset
2) AF_VSOCK updates (allows to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY mode and read
tx completions) and update for Documentation/.
3) Updates for tests and utils.

This series enables handling of fragged skbs in virtio and vhost parts.
Newly logic won't be triggered, because SO_ZEROCOPY options is still
impossible to enable at this moment (next bunch of patches from big
set above will enable it).

I've included changelog to some patches anyway, because there were some
comments during review of last big patchset from the link above.

Head for this patchset is:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=f2fa1c812c91e99d0317d1fc7d845e1e05f39716

Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 3/4] vsock/virtio: non-linear skb handling for tap

For tap device new skb is created and data from the current skb is
copied to it. This adds copying data from non-linear skb to new
the skb.

Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 4/4] vsock/virtio: MSG_ZEROCOPY flag support

This adds handling of MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on transmission path:

1) If this flag is set and zerocopy transmission is possible (enabled
in socket options and transport allows zerocopy), then non-linear
skb will be created and filled with the pages of user's buffer.
Pages of user's buffer are locked in memory by 'get_user_pages()'.
2) Replaces way of skb owning: instead of 'skb_set_owner_sk_safe()' it
calls 'skb_set_owner_w()'. Reason of this change is that
'__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' increments 'sk_wmem_alloc' of socket, so
to decrease this field correctly, proper skb destructor is needed:
'sock_wfree()'. This destructor is set by 'skb_set_owner_w()'.
3) Adds new callback to 'struct virtio_transport': 'can_msgzerocopy'.
If this callback is set, then transport needs extra check to be able
to send provided number of buffers in zerocopy mode. Currently, the
only transport that needs this callback set is virtio, because this
transport adds new buffers to the virtio queue and we need to check,
that number of these buffers is less than size of the queue (it is
required by virtio spec). vhost and loopback transports don't need
this check.

Changelog:
v5(big patchset) -> v1:
* Refactorings of 'if' conditions.
* Remove extra blank line.
* Remove 'frag_off' field unneeded init.
* Add function 'virtio_transport_fill_skb()' which fills both linear
and non-linear skb with provided data.
v1 -> v2:
* Use original order of last four arguments in 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()'.
v2 -> v3:
* Add new transport callback: 'msgzerocopy_check_iov'. It checks that
provided 'iov_iter' with data could be sent in a zerocopy mode.
If this callback is not set in transport - transport allows to send
any 'iov_iter' in zerocopy mode. Otherwise - if callback returns 'true'
then zerocopy is allowed. Reason of this callback is that in case of
G2H transmission we insert whole skb to the tx virtio queue and such
skb must fit to the size of the virtio queue to be sent in a single
iteration (may be tx logic in 'virtio_transport.c' could be reworked
as in vhost to support partial send of current skb). This callback
will be enabled only for G2H path. For details pls see comment
'Check that tx queue...' below.
v3 -> v4:
* 'msgzerocopy_check_iov' moved from 'struct vsock_transport' to
'struct virtio_transport' as it is virtio specific callback and
never needed in other transports.
v4 -> v5:
* 'msgzerocopy_check_iov' renamed to 'can_msgzerocopy' and now it
uses number of buffers to send as input argument. I think there is
no need to pass iov to this callback (at least today, it is used only
by guest side of virtio transport), because the only thing that this
callback does is comparison of number of buffers to be inserted to
the tx queue and size of this queue.
* Remove any checks for type of current 'iov_iter' with payload (is it
'iovec' or 'ubuf'). These checks left from the earlier versions where I
didn't use already implemented kernel API which handles every type of
'iov_iter'.
v5 -> v6:
* Refactor 'virtio_transport_fill_skb()'.
* Add 'WARN_ON_ONCE()' and comment on invalid combination of destination
socket and payload in 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()'.
v7 -> v8:
* Move '+1' addition from 'can_msgzerocopy' callback body to the caller.
This addition means packet header.
* In 'virtio_transport_can_zcopy()' rename 'max_to_send' argument to
'pkt_len'.
* Update commit message by adding details about new 'can_msgzerocopy'
callback.
* In 'virtio_transport_init_hdr()' move 'len' argument directly after
'info'.
* Add comment about processing last skb in tx loop.
* Update comment for 'can_msgzerocopy' callback for more details.
v8 -> v9:
* Return and update comment for 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()'.
* Pass pointer to transport ops to 'virtio_transport_can_zcopy()',
this allows to use it directly without calling virtio_transport_get_ops()'.
* Remove redundant call for 'msg_data_left()' in 'virtio_transport_fill_skb()'.
* Do not pass 'struct vsock_sock*' to 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()',
use same pointer from already passed 'struct virtio_vsock_pkt_info*'.
* Fix setting 'end of message' bit for SOCK_SEQPACKET (add call for
'msg_data_left()' == 0).
* Add 'zcopy' parameter to packet allocation trace event.

Hi Stefano,

thanks for review! So when this patchset will be merged to net-next,
I'll start sending next part of MSG_ZEROCOPY patchset, e.g. AF_VSOCK +
Documentation/ patches.

Thanks, Arseniy

I understand that at least 2 follow-up series are waiting for this, one
of them targeting net-next and the bigger one targeting the virtio
tree. Am I correct?

DaveM suggests this should go via the virtio tree, too. Any different
opinion?

Ack, if it is not a very big series, maybe better to include also the
tests so we can run them before merge the feature.

IIUC the next series will touch only the vsock core
(net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c), tests, and documentation.

The virtio part should be fully covered by this series.

@Arseniy feel free to correct me!

For this series should be fine, I'm not sure about the next series.
Merging this with the virtio tree, then it forces us to do it for
followup as well right?

In theory followup is more on the core, so better with net-next, but
it's also true that for now only virtio transports support it, so it
might be okay to continue with virtio.

@Michael WDYT?

Stefano

^^^
I mean of course if there is need to merge to virtio tree also - no problem,
just informing that the next set of patches doesn't touch virtio code.
(except two several lines patches for drivers/vhost/vsock.c and net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport.c)

Yes, only this patchset touches virtio code. Next patchset will be AF_VSOCK,
Documentation/ and tests. I think there is no need to merge it to the virtio
tree - we can continue in the same way as before during AF_VSOCK development,
e.g. merging it to net-next only.
