Each `blkif` has a free pages pool for the grant mapping. The size of
the pool starts from zero and is increased on demand while processing
the I/O requests. If current I/O requests handling is finished or 100
milliseconds has passed since last I/O requests handling, it checks and
shrinks the pool to not exceed the size limit, `max_buffer_pages`.
Therefore, host administrators can cause memory pressure in blkback by
attaching a large number of block devices and inducing I/O. Such
problematic situations can be avoided by limiting the maximum number of
devices that can be attached, but finding the optimal limit is not so
easy. Improper set of the limit can results in memory pressure or a
resource underutilization. This commit avoids such problematic
situations by squeezing the pools (returns every free page in the pool
to the system) for a while (users can set this duration via a module
parameter) if memory pressure is detected.
Discussions
===========
The `blkback`'s original shrinking mechanism returns only pages in the
pool which are not currently be used by `blkback` to the system. In
other words, the pages that are not mapped with granted pages. Because
this commit is changing only the shrink limit but still uses the same
freeing mechanism it does not touch pages which are currently mapping
grants.
Once memory pressure is detected, this commit keeps the squeezing limit
for a user-specified time duration. The duration should be neither too
long nor too short. If it is too long, the squeezing incurring overhead
can reduce the I/O performance. If it is too short, `blkback` will not
free enough pages to reduce the memory pressure. This commit sets the
value as `10 milliseconds` by default because it is a short time in
terms of I/O while it is a long time in terms of memory operations.
Also, as the original shrinking mechanism works for at least every 100
milliseconds, this could be a somewhat reasonable choice. I also tested
other durations (refer to the below section for more details) and
confirmed that 10 milliseconds is the one that works best with the test.
That said, the proper duration depends on actual configurations and
workloads. That's why this commit allows users to set the duration as a
module parameter.
Memory Pressure Test
====================
To show how this commit fixes the memory pressure situation well, I
configured a test environment on a xen-running virtualization system.
On the `blkfront` running guest instances, I attach a large number of
network-backed volume devices and induce I/O to those. Meanwhile, I
measure the number of pages that swapped in (pswpin) and out (pswpout)
on the `blkback` running guest. The test ran twice, once for the
`blkback` before this commit and once for that after this commit. As
shown below, this commit has dramatically reduced the memory pressure:
pswpin pswpout
before 76,672 185,799
after 867 3,967
Optimal Aggressive Shrinking Duration
-------------------------------------
To find a best squeezing duration, I repeated the test with three
different durations (1ms, 10ms, and 100ms). The results are as below:
duration pswpin pswpout
1 707 5,095
10 867 3,967
100 362 3,348
As expected, the memory pressure decreases as the duration increases,
but the reduction become slow from the `10ms`. Based on this results, I
chose the default duration as 10ms.
Performance Overhead Test
=========================
This commit could incur I/O performance degradation under severe memory
pressure because the squeezing will require more page allocations per
I/O. To show the overhead, I artificially made a worst-case squeezing
situation and measured the I/O performance of a `blkfront` running
guest.
For the artificial squeezing, I set the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` using
the `/sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages` file. In this
test, I set the value to `1024` and `0`. The `1024` is the default
value. Setting the value as `0` is same to a situation doing the
squeezing always (worst-case).
If the underlying block device is slow enough, the squeezing overhead
could be hidden. For the reason, I use a fast block device, namely the
rbd[1]:
# xl block-attach guest phy:/dev/ram0 xvdb w
For the I/O performance measurement, I run a simple `dd` command 5 times
directly to the device as below and collect the 'MB/s' results.
$ for i in {1..5}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvdb \
bs=4k count=$((256*512)); sync; done
The results are as below. 'max_pgs' represents the value of the
`blkback.max_buffer_pages` parameter.
max_pgs Min Max Median Avg Stddev
0 417 423 420 419.4 2.5099801
1024 414 425 416 417.8 4.4384682
No difference proven at 95.0% confidence
In short, even worst case squeezing on ramdisk based fast block device
makes no visible performance degradation. Please note that this is just
a very simple and minimal test. On systems using super-fast block
devices and a special I/O workload, the results might be different. If
you have any doubt, test on your machine with your workload to find the
optimal squeezing duration for you.

QEMU running in a stubdom needs to be able to set INTX_DISABLE, and the
MSI(-X) enable flags in the PCI config space. This adds an attribute
'allow_interrupt_control' which when set for a PCI device allows writes
to this flag(s). The toolstack will need to set this for stubdoms.
When enabled, guest (stubdomain) will be allowed to set relevant enable
flags, but only one at a time - i.e. it refuses to enable more than one
of INTx, MSI, MSI-X at a time.
This functionality is needed only for config space access done by device
model (stubdomain) serving a HVM with the actual PCI device. It is not
necessary and unsafe to enable direct access to those bits for PV domain
with the device attached. For PV domains, there are separate protocol
messages (XEN_PCI_OP_{enable,disable}_{msi,msix}) for this purpose.
Those ops in addition to setting enable bits, also configure MSI(-X) in
dom0 kernel - which is undesirable for PCI passthrough to HVM guests.
This should not introduce any new security issues since a malicious
guest (or stubdom) can already generate MSIs through other ways, see
[1] page 8. Additionally, when qemu runs in dom0, it already have direct
access to those bits.
This is the second iteration of this feature. First was proposed as a
direct Xen interface through a new hypercall, but ultimately it was
rejected by the maintainer, because of mixing pciback and hypercalls for
PCI config space access isn't a good design. Full discussion at [2].

Kbuild descends into a directory by either 'y' or 'm', but there is an
important difference.
Kbuild combines the built-in objects into built-in.a in each directory.
The built-in.a in the directory visited by obj-y is merged into the
built-in.a in the parent directory. This merge happens recursively
when Kbuild is ascending back towards the top directory, then built-in
objects are linked into vmlinux eventually. This works properly only
when the Makefile specifying obj-y is reachable by the chain of obj-y.
On the other hand, Kbuild does not take built-in.a from the directory
visited by obj-m. This it, all the objects in that directory are
supposed to be modular. If Kbuild descends into a directory by obj-m,
but the Makefile in the sub-directory specifies obj-y, those objects
are just left orphan.
The current statement "Kbuild only uses this information to decide that
it needs to visit the directory" is misleading. Clarify the difference.

Mellanox driver because it has been introduced in v5.5-rc1, so we can
change it.
Summary:
- Add support of APUv4 and fix an assignment of simswap GPIO
- Add Siemens CONNECT X300 to DMI table to avoid stuck during boot
- Correct arguments of WMI call on HP Envy x360 15-cp0xxx model
- Fix the mlx-bootctl sysfs attributes to be device related"

platform/x86: pcengines-apuv2: Spelling fixes in the driver
platform/x86: pcengines-apuv2: detect apuv4 board

platform/mellanox: fix the mlx-bootctl sysfs
|

This is a follow-up commit for the sysfs attributes to change
from DRIVER_ATTR to DEVICE_ATTR according to some initial comments.
In such case, it's better to point the sysfs path to the device
itself instead of the driver. The ABI document is also updated.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), scripts/checkpatch.pl warns the use of ---help---.
Kconfig still supports ---help---, but new code should avoid using it.
Let's stop advertising it in documentation.

flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the
potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
device has a volatile writeback cache.

Pull FIELD_SIZEOF conversion from Kees Cook:
"A mostly mechanical treewide conversion from FIELD_SIZEOF() to
sizeof_field(). This avoids the redundancy of having 2 macros
(actually 3) doing the same thing, and consolidates on sizeof_field().
While "field" is not an accurate name, it is the common name used in
the kernel, and doesn't result in any unintended innuendo.
As there are still users of FIELD_SIZEOF() in -next, I will clean up
those during this coming development cycle and send the final old
macro removal patch at that time"
