[PATCH 0/3] vhost: logging fixes

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

The following patches on top of net-next fix issues related to write
logging in vhost. This fixes all known to me logging issues, migration
now works for me while under stress in both TX and RX directions.
Rusty's going on vacation, I am guessing he won't have time to review
this: Gleb, Juan, Herbert, could one of you review this patchset please?

There's also the send queue full issue reported by
Sridhar Samudrala which I'm testing various fixes for,
that patch is contained to vhost/net though,
so there's no conflict, patch will be posted separately.


Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
  vhost: logging thinko fix
  vhost: initialize log eventfd context pointer
  vhost: fix get_user_pages_fast error handling

[PATCH 1/3] vhost: logging math fix

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

vhost was dong some complex math to get
offset to log at, and got it wrong by a couple of bytes,
while in fact it's simple: get address where we write,
subtract start of buffer, add log base.

Do it this way.

I think no. get_user_pages_fast always returns number of pages
pinned (in this case always 1) or an error (< 0).
Anything else is a kernel bug.

Once here, can we add a comment explaining _what_ are we trying to write
to the log?  michael explains that t is the used element and the index,
but nothing states that.

When log_ctx for device is created, it is copied to the vq.  This reset
was missing.

It can return 0 if you ask for 0 pages :)

I agree that code was wrong, but the BUG_ON() is not neccessary
IMHO. The important bit is the change in the comparison.

It can return 0 if you ask for 0 pages :)
From the comment:

 * Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
 * requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
 * were pinned, returns -errno.
 */

I agree that code was wrong, but the BUG_ON() is not neccessary
IMHO. The important bit is the change in the comparison.

Re: [PATCH 3/3] vhost: fix get_user_pages_fast error handling

Just for the record I'm generally not interested in vhost
patches.

If it's a specific network one that will be merged via
the networking tree, yes please CC: me.

But if it's a bunch of changes to vhost.c and other pieces
of infrastructure, feel free to leave me out of it.  It just
clutters my already overflowing inbox.

Thanks.

Dave, so while Rusty's on vacation, what's the best way to get vhost
infrastructure fixes in? Are you ok with getting pull requests and
merging them into net-next?  That should keep the clutter in your inbox
to the minimum.

Of course network changes would still go the usual way.

Well, who is providing oversight of vhost work while he's
gone?  Has he, implicitly or explicitly, appointed a maintainer
while he's away?

My plan was to get peer review of the patches before merging.
So far Juan Quintela and Gleb Natapov gave feedback.

Implicitly, I guess. He said "if there's an issue Michael Tsirkin is the
best person to resolve it", this was wrt merging his virtio&lguest tree.
He didn't mention vhost, I wrote all of vhost though, there shouldn't be
an issue with that.

That's good enough for me.

Feel free to setup a tree for me to pull from.
