[PATCH 0/5] xen/vm-event: Cleanup

[PATCH 0/5] xen/vm-event: Cleanup

[Andrew Cooper]

This came about from reviewing Petre's "Per vcpu vm_event channels" while sat
in an airport with plenty of time to kill.  This started with patch 4 trying
to get rid of the "k = i % d->max_vcpus;" expression, but see patch 4 for
further details of why it has stayed.

Everything else was either ancillary cleanup I noticed while reviewing, or
issues where were copied/moved/extended during the series.

This series can be obtained in git form from:

  http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/andrewcoop/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/vmevent-cleanup-v1

There are no large functional changes, but it should be a better base to
refactor the interface from.

Andrew Cooper (5):
  xen/vm-event: Drop unused u_domctl parameter from vm_event_domctl()
  xen/vm-event: Expand vm_event_* spinlock macros and rename the lock
  xen/vm-event: Remove unnecessary vm_event_domain indirection
  xen/vm-event: Fix interactions with the vcpu list
  xen/vm-event: Misc fixups

[PATCH 1/5] xen/vm-event: Drop unused u_domctl parameter from vm_event_domctl()

[Andrew Cooper]

This parameter isn't used at all.  Futhermore, elide the copyback in
failing cases, as it is only successful paths which generate data which
needs sending back to the caller.

Finally, drop a redundant d == NULL check, as that logic is all common
at the begining of do_domctl().

No functional change.

[PATCH 2/5] xen/vm-event: Expand vm_event_* spinlock macros and rename the lock

[Andrew Cooper]

These serve no purpose, but to add to the congnitive load of following
the code.  Remove the level of indirection.

Furthermore, the lock protects all data in vm_event_domain, making
ring_lock a poor choice of name.

For vm_event_get_response() and vm_event_grab_slot(), fold the exit
paths to have a single unlock, as the compiler can't make this
optimisation itself.

No functional change.

[PATCH 3/5] xen/vm-event: Remove unnecessary vm_event_domain indirection

[Andrew Cooper]

The use of (*ved)-> leads to poor code generation, as the compiler can't
assume the pointer hasn't changed, and results in hard-to-follow code.

For both vm_event_{en,dis}able(), rename the ved parameter to p_ved, and
work primarily with a local ved pointer.

This has a key advantage in vm_event_enable(), in that the partially
constructed vm_event_domain only becomes globally visible once it is
fully constructed.  As a consequence, the spinlock doesn't need holding.

Furthermore, rearrange the order of operations to be more sensible.
Check for repeated enables and an bad HVM_PARAM before allocating
memory, and gather the trivial setup into one place, dropping the
redundant zeroing.

No practical change that callers will notice.

[PATCH 4/5] xen/vm-event: Fix interactions with the vcpu list

[Andrew Cooper]

vm_event_resume() should use domain_vcpu(), rather than opencoding it
without its Spectre v1 safety.

vm_event_wake_blocked() can't ever be invoked in a case where d->vcpu is
NULL, so drop the outer if() and reindent, fixing up style issues.

The comment, which is left alone, is false.  This algorithm still has
starvation issues when there is an asymetric rate of generated events.

However, the existing logic is sufficiently complicated and fragile that
I don't think I've followed it fully, and because we're trying to
obsolete this interface, the safest course of action is to leave it
alone, rather than to end up making things subtly different.

Therefore, no practical change that callers would notice.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/5] xen/vm-event: Fix interactions with the vcpu list

[Andrew Cooper]

vm_event_resume() should use domain_vcpu(), rather than opencoding it
without its Spectre v1 safety.

vm_event_wake_blocked() can't ever be invoked in a case where d->vcpu is
NULL, so drop the outer if() and reindent, fixing up style issues.

The comment, which is left alone, is false.  This algorithm still has
starvation issues when there is an asymetric rate of generated events.

However, the existing logic is sufficiently complicated and fragile that
I don't think I've followed it fully, and because we're trying to
obsolete this interface, the safest course of action is to leave it
alone, rather than to end up making things subtly different.

Therefore, no practical change that callers would notice.

[PATCH 5/5] xen/vm-event: Misc fixups

[Andrew Cooper]

 * Drop redundant brackes, and inline qualifiers.
 * Insert newlines and spaces where appropriate.
 * Drop redundant NDEBUG - gdprint() is already conditional.  Fix the
   logging level, as gdprintk() already prefixes the guest marker.

No functional change.

But inline is still asking the compiler to try and generate code that 
doesn't end up CALLing an actual function, so is it really redundant 
here? I do realize that for most cases the compiler will have its way 
with this code anyway - especially since the function is static - but 
"static" is not guaranteed to also mean "inline", is it?

In any case,
