* replay: notify vCPU when BH is scheduledPavel Dovgalyuk2022-06-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vCPU execution should be suspended when new BH is scheduled. This is needed to avoid guest timeouts caused by the long cycles of the execution. In replay mode execution may hang when vCPU sleeps and block event comes to the queue. This patch adds notification which wakes up vCPU or interrupts execution of guest code.

* util/event-loop-base: Introduce options to set the thread pool sizeNicolas Saenz Julienne2022-05-091-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's '-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread has been measured take multiple milliseconds. In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase' property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.

* aio-posix: split poll check from ready handlerStefan Hajnoczi2022-01-121-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time. For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause adaptive polling to stop polling. By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen back to file descriptor monitoring. The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2 event_idx=off using an IOThread.

* iothread: add aio-max-batch parameterStefano Garzarella2021-07-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests. When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`, the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel. This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO engine queue. If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will use its default maximum batch size value.

* util/async: print leaked BH name when AioContext finalizesStefan Hajnoczi2021-07-051-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BHs must be deleted before the AioContext is finalized. If not, it's a bug and probably indicates that some part of the program still expects the BH to run in the future. That can lead to memory leaks, inconsistent state, or just hangs. Unfortunately the assert(flags & BH_DELETED) call in aio_ctx_finalize() is difficult to debug because the assertion failure contains no information about the BH! Use the QEMUBH name field added in the previous patch to show a useful error when a leaked BH is detected.

* util/async: add a human-readable name to BHs for debuggingStefan Hajnoczi2021-07-051-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be difficult to debug issues with BHs in production environments. Although BHs can usually be identified by looking up their ->cb() function pointer, this requires debug information for the program. It is also not possible to print human-readable diagnostics about BHs because they have no identifier. This patch adds a name to each BH. The name is not unique per instance but differentiates between cb() functions, which is usually enough. It's done by changing aio_bh_new() and friends to macros that stringify cb. The next patch will use the name field when reporting leaked BHs.

* async: the main AioContext is only "current" if under the BQLPaolo Bonzini2021-06-181-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we want to wake up a coroutine from a worker thread, aio_co_wake() currently does not work. In that scenario, aio_co_wake() calls aio_co_enter(), but there is no current AioContext and therefore qemu_get_current_aio_context() returns the main thread. aio_co_wake() then attempts to call aio_context_acquire() instead of going through aio_co_schedule(). The default case of qemu_get_current_aio_context() was added to cover synchronous I/O started from the vCPU thread, but the main and vCPU threads are quite different. The main thread is an I/O thread itself, only running a more complicated event loop; the vCPU thread instead is essentially a worker thread that occasionally calls qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(). It is only in those critical sections that it acts as if it were the home thread of the main AioContext. Therefore, this patch detaches qemu_get_current_aio_context() from iothreads, which is a useless complication. The AioContext pointer is stored directly in the thread-local variable, including for the main loop. Worker threads (including vCPU threads) optionally behave as temporary home threads if they have taken the big QEMU lock, but if that is not the case they will always schedule coroutines on remote threads via aio_co_schedule(). With this change, the stub qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() must be changed from true to false. The previous value of true was needed because the main thread did not have an AioContext in the thread-local variable, but now it does have one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aio_notify() does not set ctx->notified when called with ctx->aio_notify_me disabled. Therefore aio_notify_me needs to be enabled during polling. This is suboptimal since expensive event_notifier_set(&ctx->notifier) and event_notifier_test_and_clear(&ctx->notifier) calls are required when ctx->aio_notify_me is enabled. Change aio_notify() so that aio->notified is always set, regardless of ctx->aio_notify_me. This will make polling cheaper since ctx->aio_notify_me can remain disabled. Move the event_notifier_test_and_clear() to the fd handler function (which is now no longer an empty function so "dummy" has been dropped from its name).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The glib event loop does not call fdmon_io_uring_wait() so fd handlers waiting to be submitted build up in the list. There is no benefit is using io_uring when the glib GSource is being used, so disable it instead of implementing a more complex fix. This fixes a memory leak where AioHandlers would build up and increasing amounts of CPU time were spent iterating them in aio_pending(). The symptom is that guests become slow when QEMU is built with io_uring support.

* async: use explicit memory barriersPaolo Bonzini2020-04-091-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using C11 atomics, non-seqcst reads and writes do not participate in the total order of seqcst operations. In util/async.c and util/aio-posix.c, in particular, the pattern that we use write ctx->notify_me write bh->scheduled read bh->scheduled read ctx->notify_me if !bh->scheduled, sleep if ctx->notify_me, notify needs to use seqcst operations for both the write and the read. In general this is something that we do not want, because there can be many sources that are polled in addition to bottom halves. The alternative is to place a seqcst memory barrier between the write and the read. This also comes with a disadvantage, in that the memory barrier is implicit on strongly-ordered architectures and it wastes a few dozen clock cycles. Fortunately, ctx->notify_me is never written concurrently by two threads, so we can assert that and relax the writes to ctx->notify_me. The resulting solution works and performs well on both aarch64 and x86. Note that the atomic_set/atomic_read combination is not an atomic read-modify-write, and therefore it is even weaker than C11 ATOMIC_RELAXED; on x86, ATOMIC_RELAXED compiles to a locked operation.

* util/async: make bh_aio_poll() O(1)Stefan Hajnoczi2020-02-221-99/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ctx->first_bh list contains all created BHs, including those that are not scheduled. The list is iterated by the event loop and therefore has O(n) time complexity with respected to the number of created BHs. Rewrite BHs so that only scheduled or deleted BHs are enqueued. Only BHs that actually require action will be iterated. One semantic change is required: qemu_bh_delete() enqueues the BH and therefore invokes aio_notify(). The tests/test-aio.c:test_source_bh_delete_from_cb() test case assumed that g_main_context_iteration(NULL, false) returns false after qemu_bh_delete() but it now returns true for one iteration. Fix up the test case. This patch makes aio_compute_timeout() and aio_bh_poll() drop from a CPU profile reported by perf-top(1).

* win32: work around main-loop busy loop on socket/fd eventMarc-André Lureau2019-10-041-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 05e514b1d4d5bd4209e2c8bbc76ff05c85a235f3 introduced an AIO context optimization to avoid calling event_notifier_test_and_clear() on ctx->notifier. On Windows, the same notifier is being used to wakeup the wait on socket events (see commit d3385eb448e38f828c78f8f68ec5d79c66a58b5d). The ctx->notifier event is added to the gpoll sources in aio_set_event_notifier(), aio_ctx_check() should clear the event regardless of ctx->notified, since Windows sets the event by itself, bypassing the aio->notified. This fixes qemu not clearing the event resulting in a busy loop. Paolo suggested to me on irc to call event_notifier_test_and_clear() after select() >0 from aio-win32.c's aio_prepare. Unfortunately, not all fds associated with ctx->notifiers are in AIO fd handlers set. (qemu_set_nonblock() in util/oslib-win32.c calls qemu_fd_register()). This is essentially a v2 of a patch that was sent earlier: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg00420.html that resurfaced when James investigated Spice performance issues on Windows: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/issues/36 In order to test that patch, I simply tried running test-char on win32, and it hangs. Applying that patch solves it. QIO idle sources are not dispatched. I haven't investigated much further, I suspect source priorities and busy looping still come into play. This version keeps the "notified" field, so event_notifier_poll() should still work as expected.

The preadv coroutine is re-entered and returns. There is a race condition in aio_co_wake() where the preadv coroutine returns and the test case destroys the preadv IOThread. aio_co_wake() can still be running in the other AioContext and it performs an access to the freed IOThread AioContext.

* util/async: use qemu_aio_coroutine_enter in co_schedule_bh_cbSergio Lopez2018-09-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AIO Coroutines shouldn't by managed by an AioContext different than the one assigned when they are created. aio_co_enter avoids entering a coroutine from a different AioContext, calling aio_co_schedule instead. Scheduled coroutines are then entered by co_schedule_bh_cb using qemu_coroutine_enter, which just calls qemu_aio_coroutine_enter with the current AioContext obtained with qemu_get_current_aio_context. Eventually, co->ctx will be set to the AioContext passed as an argument to qemu_aio_coroutine_enter. This means that, if an IO Thread's AioConext is being processed by the Main Thread (due to aio_poll being called with a BDS AioContext, as it happens in AIO_WAIT_WHILE among other places), the AioContext from some coroutines may be wrongly replaced with the one from the Main Thread. This is the root cause behind some crashes, mainly triggered by the drain code at block/io.c. The most common are these abort and failed assertion: util/async.c:aio_co_schedule 456 if (scheduled) { 457 fprintf(stderr, 458 "%s: Co-routine was already scheduled in '%s'\n", 459 __func__, scheduled); 460 abort(); 461 } util/qemu-coroutine-lock.c: 286 assert(mutex->holder == self); But it's also known to cause random errors at different locations, and even SIGSEGV with broken coroutine backtraces. By using qemu_aio_coroutine_enter directly in co_schedule_bh_cb, we can pass the correct AioContext as an argument, making sure co->ctx is not wrongly altered.

* linux-aio: properly bubble up errors from initializationNishanth Aravamudan2018-06-271-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context(). To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing initialization calls. Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the device is already in-use by the guest. Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

* coroutine: abort if we try to schedule or enter a pending coroutineJeff Cody2017-11-211-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous patch fixed a race condition, in which there were coroutines being executing doubly, or after coroutine deletion. We can detect common scenarios when this happens, and print an error message and abort before we corrupt memory / data, or segfault. This patch will abort if an attempt to enter a coroutine is made while it is currently pending execution, either in a specific AioContext bh, or pending execution via a timer. It will also abort if a coroutine is scheduled, before a prior scheduled run has occurred. We cannot rely on the existing co->caller check for recursive re-entry to catch this, as the coroutine may run and exit with COROUTINE_TERMINATE before the scheduled coroutine executes. (This is the scenario that was occurring and fixed in the previous patch). This patch also re-orders the Coroutine struct elements in an attempt to optimize caching.

* util/async: use atomic_mb_set in qemu_bh_cancelSergio Lopez2017-11-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b7a745d added a qemu_bh_cancel call to the completion function as an optimization to prevent it from unnecessarily rescheduling itself. This completion function is scheduled from worker_thread, after setting the state of a ThreadPoolElement to THREAD_DONE. This was considered to be safe, as the completion function restarts the loop just after the call to qemu_bh_cancel. But, as this loop lacks a HW memory barrier, the read of req->state may actually happen _before_ the call, seeing it still as THREAD_QUEUED, and ending the completion function without having processed a pending TPE linked at pool->head: worker thread | I/O thread ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | speculatively read req->state req->state = THREAD_DONE; | qemu_bh_schedule(p->completion_bh) | bh->scheduled = 1; | | qemu_bh_cancel(p->completion_bh) | bh->scheduled = 0; | if (req->state == THREAD_DONE) | // sees THREAD_QUEUED The source of the misunderstanding was that qemu_bh_cancel is now being used by the _consumer_ rather than the producer, and therefore now needs to have acquire semantics just like e.g. aio_bh_poll. In some situations, if there are no other independent requests in the same aio context that could eventually trigger the scheduling of the completion function, the omitted TPE and all operations pending on it will get stuck forever.

* aio: introduce aio_co_schedule and aio_co_wakePaolo Bonzini2017-02-211-0/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aio_co_wake provides the infrastructure to start a coroutine on a "home" AioContext. It will be used by CoMutex and CoQueue, so that coroutines don't jump from one context to another when they go to sleep on a mutex or waitqueue. However, it can also be used as a more efficient alternative to one-shot bottom halves, and saves the effort of tracking which AioContext a coroutine is running on. aio_co_schedule is the part of aio_co_wake that starts a coroutine on a remove AioContext, but it is also useful to implement e.g. bdrv_set_aio_context callbacks. The implementation of aio_co_schedule is based on a lock-free multiple-producer, single-consumer queue. The multiple producers use cmpxchg to add to a LIFO stack. The consumer (a per-AioContext bottom half) grabs all items added so far, inverts the list to make it FIFO, and goes through it one item at a time until it's empty. The data structure was inspired by OSv, which uses it in the very code we'll "port" to QEMU for the thread-safe CoMutex. Most of the new code is really tests.

AioContext is fairly self contained, the only dependency is QEMUTimer but that in turn doesn't need anything else. So move them out of block-obj-y to avoid introducing a dependency from io/ to block-obj-y. main-loop and its dependency iohandler also need to be moved, because later in this series io/ will call iohandler_get_aio_context.
