[PATCH net-next v6 4/4] vsock/virtio: MSG_ZEROCOPY flag support

From: Arseniy Krasnov
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 17:34:40 EST


This adds handling of MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on transmission path: if this
flag is set and zerocopy transmission is possible (enabled in socket
options and transport allows zerocopy), then non-linear skb will be
created and filled with the pages of user's buffer. Pages of user's
buffer are locked in memory by 'get_user_pages()'. Second thing that
this patch does is replace type of skb owning: instead of calling
'skb_set_owner_sk_safe()' it calls 'skb_set_owner_w()'. Reason of this
change is that '__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' increments 'sk_wmem_alloc'
of socket, so to decrease this field correctly proper skb destructor is
needed: 'sock_wfree()'. This destructor is set by 'skb_set_owner_w()'.

Changelog:
v5(big patchset) -> v1:
* Refactorings of 'if' conditions.
* Remove extra blank line.
* Remove 'frag_off' field unneeded init.
* Add function 'virtio_transport_fill_skb()' which fills both linear
and non-linear skb with provided data.
v1 -> v2:
* Use original order of last four arguments in 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()'.
v2 -> v3:
* Add new transport callback: 'msgzerocopy_check_iov'. It checks that
provided 'iov_iter' with data could be sent in a zerocopy mode.
If this callback is not set in transport - transport allows to send
any 'iov_iter' in zerocopy mode. Otherwise - if callback returns 'true'
then zerocopy is allowed. Reason of this callback is that in case of
G2H transmission we insert whole skb to the tx virtio queue and such
skb must fit to the size of the virtio queue to be sent in a single
iteration (may be tx logic in 'virtio_transport.c' could be reworked
as in vhost to support partial send of current skb). This callback
will be enabled only for G2H path. For details pls see comment
'Check that tx queue...' below.
v3 -> v4:
* 'msgzerocopy_check_iov' moved from 'struct vsock_transport' to
'struct virtio_transport' as it is virtio specific callback and
never needed in other transports.
v4 -> v5:
* 'msgzerocopy_check_iov' renamed to 'can_msgzerocopy' and now it
uses number of buffers to send as input argument. I think there is
no need to pass iov to this callback (at least today, it is used only
by guest side of virtio transport), because the only thing that this
callback does is comparison of number of buffers to be inserted to
the tx queue and size of this queue.
* Remove any checks for type of current 'iov_iter' with payload (is it
'iovec' or 'ubuf'). These checks left from the earlier versions where I
didn't use already implemented kernel API which handles every type of
'iov_iter'.
v5 -> v6:
* Refactor 'virtio_transport_fill_skb()'.
* Add 'WARN_ON_ONCE()' and comment on invalid combination of destination
socket and payload in 'virtio_transport_alloc_skb()'.
