2022-04-06Replace qemu_real_host_page variables with inlined functionsMarc-André Lureau1-1/+1
Replace the global variables with inlined helper functions. getpagesize() is very likely annotated with a "const" function attribute (at least with glibc), and thus optimization should apply even better. This avoids the need for a constructor initialization too.

2019-10-26core: replace getpagesize() with qemu_real_host_page_sizeWei Yang1-1/+1
There are three page size in qemu: real host page size host page size target page size All of them have dedicate variable to represent. For the last two, we use the same form in the whole qemu project, while for the first one we use two forms: qemu_real_host_page_size and getpagesize(). qemu_real_host_page_size is defined to be a replacement of getpagesize(), so let it serve the role.

2018-02-13qcow2: Allow configuring the L2 slice sizeAlberto Garcia1-2/+8
Now that the code is ready to handle L2 slices we can finally add an option to allow configuring their size. An L2 slice is the portion of an L2 table that is read by the qcow2 cache. Until now the cache was always reading full L2 tables, and since the L2 table size is equal to the cluster size this was not very efficient with large clusters. Here's a more detailed explanation of why it makes sense to have smaller cache entries in order to load L2 data: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2017-09/msg00635.html This patch introduces a new command-line option to the qcow2 driver named l2-cache-entry-size (cf. l2-cache-size). The cache entry size has the same restrictions as the cluster size: it must be a power of two and it has the same range of allowed values, with the additional requirement that it must not be larger than the cluster size. The L2 cache entry size (L2 slice size) remains equal to the cluster size for now by default, so this feature must be explicitly enabled. Although my tests show that 4KB slices consistently improve performance and give the best results, let's wait and make more tests with different cluster sizes before deciding on an optimal default. Now that the cache entry size is not necessarily equal to the cluster size we need to reflect that in the MIN_L2_CACHE_SIZE documentation. That minimum value is a requirement of the COW algorithm: we need to read two L2 slices (and not two L2 tables) in order to do COW, see l2_allocate() for the actual code.

2018-02-13qcow2: Add table size field to Qcow2CacheAlberto Garcia1-15/+14
The table size in the qcow2 cache is currently equal to the cluster size. This doesn't allow us to use the cache memory efficiently, particularly with large cluster sizes, so we need to be able to have smaller cache tables that are independent from the cluster size. This patch adds a new field to Qcow2Cache that we can use instead of the cluster size. The current table size is still being initialized to the cluster size, so there are no semantic changes yet, but this patch will allow us to prepare the rest of the code and simplify a few function calls.

2017-11-17qcow2: Fix overly broad madvise()Max Reitz1-1/+1
@mem_size and @offset are both size_t, thus subtracting them from one another will just return a big size_t if mem_size < offset -- even more obvious here because the result is stored in another size_t. Checking that result to be positive is therefore not sufficient to exclude the case that offset > mem_size. Thus, we currently sometimes issue an madvise() over a very large address range. This is triggered by iotest 163, but with -m64, this does not result in tangible problems. But with -m32, this test produces three segfaults, all of which are fixed by this patch.

2017-11-17qcow2: Refuse to get unaligned offsets from cacheMax Reitz1-0/+21
Instead of using an assertion, it is better to emit a corruption event here. Checking all offsets for correct alignment can be tedious and it is easily possible to forget to do so. qcow2_cache_do_get() is a function every L2 and refblock access has to go through, so this is a good central point to add such a check. And for good measure, let us also add an assertion that the offset is non-zero. Making this a corruption event is not feasible, because a zero offset usually means something special (such as the cluster is unused), so all callers should be checking this anyway. If they do not, it is their fault, hence the assertion here.

We are using QEMU_MADV_DONTNEED to discard the memory of individual L2 cache tables. The problem with this is that those semantics are specific to the Linux madvise() system call. Other implementations of madvise() (including the very Linux implementation of posix_madvise()) don't do that, so we cannot use them for the same purpose. This patch makes the code Linux-specific and uses madvise() directly since there's no point in going through qemu_madvise() for this.

2016-06-08qcow2: avoid extra flushes in qcow2Denis V. Lunev1-2/+9
The problem with excessive flushing was found by a couple of performance tests: - parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes) - 32 cached writes + fsync at the end in a loop For the first one results improved from 2.6 loops/sec to 3.5 loops/sec. Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each. For the second one results improved from ~600 fsync/sec to ~1100 fsync/sec. Though, it was run on SSD so it probably won't show such performance gain on rotational media. qcow2_cache_flush() calls bdrv_flush() unconditionally after writing cache entries of a particular cache. This can lead to as many as 2 additional fdatasyncs inside bdrv_flush. We can simply skip all fdatasync calls inside qcow2_co_flush_to_os as bdrv_flush for sure will do the job. These flushes are necessary to keep the right order of writes to the different caches. Though this is not necessary in the current code base as this ordering is ensured through the flush in qcow2_cache_flush_dependency(). Signed-off-by: Denis V.

The current cache algorithm traverses the array starting always from the beginning, so the average number of comparisons needed to perform a lookup is proportional to the size of the array. By using a hash of the offset as the starting point, lookups are faster and independent from the array size. The hash is computed using the cluster number of the table, multiplied by 4 to make it perform better when there are collisions.

The current algorithm to evict entries from the cache gives always preference to those in the lowest positions. As the size of the cache increases, the chances of the later elements of being removed decrease exponentially. In a scenario with random I/O and lots of cache misses, entries in positions 8 and higher are rarely (if ever) evicted. This can be seen even with the default cache size, but with larger caches the problem becomes more obvious.

2015-02-06block: Give always priority to unused entries in the qcow2 L2 cacheAlberto Garcia1-1/+3
The current algorithm to replace entries from the L2 cache gives priority to newer hits by dividing the hit count of all existing entries by two everytime there is a cache miss. However, if there are several cache misses the hit count of the existing entries can easily go down to 0. This will result in those entries being replaced even when there are others that have never been used. This problem is more noticeable with larger disk images and cache sizes, since the chances of having several misses before the cache is full are higher. If we make sure that the hit count can never go down to 0 again, unused entries will always have priority.

2014-08-20qcow2: Use g_try_new0() for cache arrayMax Reitz1-4/+9
With a variable cache size, the number given to qcow2_cache_create() may be huge. Therefore, use g_try_new0(). While at it, use g_new0() instead of g_malloc0() for allocating the Qcow2Cache object. Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2014-08-20block: Use g_new() & friends to avoid multiplying sizesMarkus Armbruster1-1/+1
g_new(T, n) is safer than g_malloc(sizeof(*v) * n) for two reasons. One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t. Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch more type errors. Perhaps a conversion to g_malloc_n() would be neater in places, but that's merely four years old, and we can't use such newfangled stuff. This commit only touches allocations with size arguments of the form sizeof(T), plus two that use 4 instead of sizeof(uint32_t). We can make the others safe by converting to g_malloc_n() when it becomes available to us in a couple of years.

2014-08-15qcow2: Handle failure for potentially large allocationsKevin Wolf1-1/+12
Some code in the block layer makes potentially huge allocations. Failure is not completely unexpected there, so avoid aborting qemu and handle out-of-memory situations gracefully. This patch addresses the allocations in the qcow2 block driver. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

In qcow2_check_metadata_overlap and qcow2_pre_write_overlap_check, change the parameter signifying the checks to perform from its current positive form to a negative one, i.e., it will no longer explicitly specify every check to perform but rather a mask of checks not to perform.

Writethrough does not need special-casing anymore in the qcow2 caches. The block layer adds flushes after every guest-initiated data write, and these will also flush the qcow2 caches to the OS. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
