[PATCH v14 0/5] Support add/remove memory region and get-max-slots

[<pravin.bathija@dell.com>]

From: Pravin M Bathija <pravin.bathija@dell.com>

This is version v14 of the patchset and it incorporates the
recomendations made by Stephen Hemminger and Fengcheng Wen.

Changes from Fengcheng Wen review:
Patch 3/5
- Moved free_all_mem_regions() call sites in vhost_user_set_mem_table()
  from patch 4/5 to patch 3/5 so each commit compiles independently
Patch 4/5
- Renamed _dev_invalidate_vrings() to vhost_user_invalidate_vrings() to
  follow vhost naming convention
-  Added comment explaining *pdev propagation through
   translate_ring_addresses / numa_realloc()
- Reordered local variables in vhost_user_add_mem_reg() and
  vhost_user_rem_mem_reg() by descending line length
- Shortened overlap check variable names (current_region_guest_start/end
  --> cur_start/end, proposed_region_guest_start/end -> new_start/end) 
- Fixed DMA error path in vhost_user_add_mem_reg(): added
  free_new_region_no_dma label so async_dma_map_region(false) is not
  called when the map itself failed.
Changes from Stephen Hemminger review:
Patch 4/5
- vhost_user_add_mem_reg() now constructs a reply with the back-end's
  host mapping address in userspace_addr and returns
  RTE_VHOST_MSG_RESULT_REPLY per the vhost-user spec
- Added validate_msg_fds(dev, ctx, 0) in vhost_user_rem_mem_reg() to
  reject malformed messages with unexpected file descriptors
- Dropped unnecessary (uint64_t) cast in vhost_user_get_max_mem_slots()

This implementation has been extensively tested by doing Read/Write I/O
from multiple instances of fio + libblkio (front-end) talking to
spdk/dpdk (back-end) based drives. Tested with qemu front-end talking to
dpdk testpmd (back-end) performing add/removal of memory regions. Also
tested post-copy live migration after doing add_memory_region.

Version Log:
Version v14 (Current version): Incorporate code review suggestions from
Stephen Hemminger and Fengcheng Wen as described above.

Version v13: Incorporate code review suggestions from Fengcheng Wen
Patch 2/5
Renamed VhostUserSingleMemReg to VhostUserMemRegMsg and memory_single
to memreg
Patches 3/5 and 4/5
Relocated function remove_guest_pages from patch 3/5 to 4/5

Version v12: Incorporate code review suggestions from Maxime Coquelin
and ai-code-review.
Patch 3/5
Refactored async_dma_map() to delegate to async_dma_map_region(),
eliminating code duplication between the two functions.
Restored original comments in async_dma_map_region() explaining why
ENODEV and EINVAL errors are ignored (these were stripped in v10)
Reverted unnecessary changes to vhost_user_postcopy_register() --
removed the host_user_addr == 0 checks and reg_msg_index indirection
that were added in  v10, since this function is only called from
vhost_user_set_mem_table() where regions are always contiguous.

Version v11: Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger.
Patch 4/5
Fix incomplete cleanup in vhost_user_add_mem_reg() when
vhost_user_mmap_region() fails after the mmap succeeds (e.g.
add_guest_pages() realloc failure) realloc failure). The error path now
calls remove_guest_pages() and free_mem_region() to undo the mapping
and stale guest-page entries, preventing a leaked mmap and slot reuse
corruption. The plain close(fd) path is kept for pre-mmap failures.

Version v10: Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger.
Patch 4/5
Moved dev_invalidate_vrings after free_mem_region, array compaction, and
nregions decrement. This ensures translate_ring_addresses only sees
surviving memory regions, preventing vring pointers from resolving into
a region that is about to be unmapped.

Version v9: Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger.
Patch 3/5
Restored max_guest_pages initial value to hardcoded 8 instead of
VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS, matching upstream semantics.
Patch 4/5
Added close(reg->fd) and reg->fd = -1 before goto close_msg_fds in the
mmap failure path to fix fd leak after fd was moved from ctx->fds[0].
Converted dev_invalidate_vrings from a plain function to a macro +
implementation function pair, accepting message ID as a parameter so
the static_assert reports the correct handler at each call site.
Updated dev_invalidate_vrings call in add_mem_reg to pass
VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG as message ID.
Updated dev_invalidate_vrings call in rem_mem_reg to pass
VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG as message ID.

Version v8:  Incorporate code review suggestions from Stephen Hemminger.
rewrite async_dma_map_region function to iterate guest pages by host
address range matching
change function dev_invalidate_vrings to accept a double pointer to
propagate pointer updates
new function remove_guest_pages was added
add_mem_reg error path was narrowed to only clean up the single failed
region instead of destroting all existing regions

Version v7: Incorporate code review suggestions from Maxime Coquelin.
Add debug messages to vhost_postcopy_register function.

Version v6: Added the enablement of this feature as a final patch in
this patch-set and other code optimizations as suggested by Maxime
Coquelin.

Version v5: removed the patch that increased the number of memory regions
from 8 to 128. This will be submitted as a separate feature at a later
point after incorporating additional optimizations. Also includes code
optimizations as suggested by Feng Cheng Wen.

Version v4: code optimizations as suggested by Feng Cheng Wen.

Version v3: code optimizations as suggested by Maxime Coquelin
and Thomas Monjalon.

Version v2: code optimizations as suggested by Maxime Coquelin.

Version v1: Initial patch set.
