It was noticed that the copy_user() friends that was used to access
virtqueue metdata tends to be very expensive for dataplane
implementation like vhost since it involves lots of software checks,
speculation barrier, hardware feature toggling (e.g SMAP). The
extra cost will be more obvious when transferring small packets since
the time spent on metadata accessing become more significant.
This patch tries to eliminate those overheads by accessing them
through kernel virtual address by vmap(). To make the pages can be
migrated, instead of pinning them through GUP, we use MMU notifiers to
invalidate vmaps and re-establish vmaps during each round of metadata
prefetching if necessary. It looks to me .invalidate_range() is
sufficient for catching this since we don't need extra TLB flush. For
devices that doesn't use metadata prefetching, the memory accessors
fallback to normal copy_user() implementation gracefully. The
invalidation was synchronized with datapath through vq mutex, and in
order to avoid hold vq mutex during range checking, MMU notifier was
teared down when trying to modify vq metadata.
Dirty page checking is done by calling set_page_dirty_locked()
explicitly for the page that used ring stay after each round of
processing.
Note that this was only done when device IOTLB is not enabled. We
could use similar method to optimize it in the future.
Tests shows at most about 22% improvement on TX PPS when using
virtio-user + vhost_net + xdp1 + TAP on 2.6GHz Broadwell:
