场景
Host上运行qemu kvm虚拟机，其中虚拟机的网卡类型为virtio-net，而Host上virtio-net backend使用vhost-net
数据包进入虚拟机代码分析
首先看vhost-net模块注册，主要使用linux内核提供的内存注册机制，这部分开发过linux kernel的人都应该
很了解啦
static struct miscdevice vhost_net_misc = {
.minor = VHOST_NET_MINOR,
.name = "vhost-net",
.fops = &vhost_net_fops,
};
static int vhost_net_init(void)
{
if (experimental_zcopytx)
vhost_net_enable_zcopy(VHOST_NET_VQ_TX);
return misc_register(&vhost_net_misc);
}
module_init(vhost_net_init);
static void vhost_net_exit(void)
{
misc_deregister(&vhost_net_misc);
}
module_exit(vhost_net_exit);
MODULE_VERSION("0.0.1");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Michael S. Tsirkin");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Host kernel accelerator for virtio net");
MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(VHOST_NET_MINOR);
MODULE_ALIAS("devname:vhost-net");
其中vhost_net_fops代表字符设备支持的用户态接口。字符设备为/dev/vhost-net
static const struct file_operations vhost_net_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.release = vhost_net_release,
.unlocked_ioctl = vhost_net_ioctl,
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
.compat_ioctl = vhost_net_compat_ioctl,
#endif
.open = vhost_net_open,
.llseek = noop_llseek,
};
当用户态进行使用open系统调用的使用，则执行vhost_net_open函数，该函数主要对该
字符设备进行初始化
static int vhost_net_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *f)
{
struct vhost_net *n = kmalloc(sizeof *n, GFP_KERNEL);
struct vhost_dev *dev;
struct vhost_virtqueue **vqs;
int r, i;
if (!n)
return -ENOMEM;
vqs = kmalloc(VHOST_NET_VQ_MAX * sizeof(*vqs), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!vqs) {
kfree(n);
return -ENOMEM;
}
dev = &n->dev;
vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_TX] = &n->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_TX].vq;
vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_RX] = &n->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_RX].vq;
n->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_TX].vq.handle_kick = handle_tx_kick;
n->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_RX].vq.handle_kick = handle_rx_kick;
for (i = 0; i < VHOST_NET_VQ_MAX; i++) {
n->vqs[i].ubufs = NULL;
n->vqs[i].ubuf_info = NULL;
n->vqs[i].upend_idx = 0;
n->vqs[i].done_idx = 0;
n->vqs[i].vhost_hlen = 0;
n->vqs[i].sock_hlen = 0;
}
r = vhost_dev_init(dev, vqs, VHOST_NET_VQ_MAX);
if (r < 0) {
kfree(n);
kfree(vqs);
return r;
}
vhost_poll_init(n->poll + VHOST_NET_VQ_TX, handle_tx_net, POLLOUT, dev);
vhost_poll_init(n->poll + VHOST_NET_VQ_RX, handle_rx_net, POLLIN, dev);
f->private_data = n;
return 0;
}
从上述代码中可以看出vhost-net模块的核心数据结果关系图如下
为了获取tap设备的数据包，vhost-net模块注册了该设备的tun scoket
static long vhost_net_set_backend(struct vhost_net *n, unsigned index, int fd)
{
sock = get_socket(fd);
if (IS_ERR(sock)) {
r = PTR_ERR(sock);
goto err_vq;
}
vq->private_data = sock;
}
tun socket的收发包函数为
static const struct proto_ops tun_socket_ops = {
.sendmsg = tun_sendmsg,
.recvmsg = tun_recvmsg,
.release = tun_release,
};
当tap获取到数据包的时候，vhost-net会调用
static void handle_rx(struct vhost_net *net)
{
struct vhost_net_virtqueue *nvq = &net->vqs[VHOST_NET_VQ_RX];
struct vhost_virtqueue *vq = &nvq->vq;
unsigned uninitialized_var(in), log;
struct vhost_log *vq_log;
struct msghdr msg = {
.msg_name = NULL,
.msg_namelen = 0,
.msg_control = NULL, /* FIXME: get and handle RX aux data. */
.msg_controllen = 0,
.msg_iov = vq->iov,
.msg_flags = MSG_DONTWAIT,
};
struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf hdr = {
.hdr.flags = 0,
.hdr.gso_type = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE
};
size_t total_len = 0;
int err, mergeable;
s16 headcount;
size_t vhost_hlen, sock_hlen;
size_t vhost_len, sock_len;
struct socket *sock;
mutex_lock(&vq->mutex);
sock = vq->private_data;
if (!sock)
goto out;
vhost_disable_notify(&net->dev, vq);
vhost_hlen = nvq->vhost_hlen;
sock_hlen = nvq->sock_hlen;
vq_log = unlikely(vhost_has_feature(vq, VHOST_F_LOG_ALL)) ?
vq->log : NULL;
mergeable = vhost_has_feature(vq, VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF);
while ((sock_len = peek_head_len(sock->sk))) {
sock_len += sock_hlen;
vhost_len = sock_len + vhost_hlen;
headcount = get_rx_bufs(vq, vq->heads, vhost_len,
&in, vq_log, &log,
likely(mergeable) ? UIO_MAXIOV : 1);
/* On error, stop handling until the next kick. */
if (unlikely(headcount < 0))
break;
/* On overrun, truncate and discard */
if (unlikely(headcount > UIO_MAXIOV)) {
msg.msg_iovlen = 1;
err = sock->ops->recvmsg(NULL, sock, &msg,
1, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC);
pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: len %zd
", sock_len);
continue;
}
/* OK, now we need to know about added descriptors. */
if (!headcount) {
if (unlikely(vhost_enable_notify(&net->dev, vq))) {
/* They have slipped one in as we were
* doing that: check again. */
vhost_disable_notify(&net->dev, vq);
continue;
}
/* Nothing new? Wait for eventfd to tell us
* they refilled. */
break;
}
/* We don't need to be notified again. */
if (unlikely((vhost_hlen)))
/* Skip header. TODO: support TSO. */
move_iovec_hdr(vq->iov, nvq->hdr, vhost_hlen, in);
else
/* Copy the header for use in VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF:
* needed because recvmsg can modify msg_iov. */
copy_iovec_hdr(vq->iov, nvq->hdr, sock_hlen, in);
msg.msg_iovlen = in;
err = sock->ops->recvmsg(NULL, sock, &msg,
sock_len, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC);
/* Userspace might have consumed the packet meanwhile:
* it's not supposed to do this usually, but might be hard
* to prevent. Discard data we got (if any) and keep going. */
if (unlikely(err != sock_len)) {
pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: "
" len %d, expected %zd
", err, sock_len);
vhost_discard_vq_desc(vq, headcount);
continue;
}
if (unlikely(vhost_hlen) &&
memcpy_toiovecend(nvq->hdr, (unsigned char *)&hdr, 0,
vhost_hlen)) {
vq_err(vq, "Unable to write vnet_hdr at addr %p
",
vq->iov->iov_base);
break;
}
/* TODO: Should check and handle checksum. */
hdr.num_buffers = cpu_to_vhost16(vq, headcount);
if (likely(mergeable) &&
memcpy_toiovecend(nvq->hdr, (void *)&hdr.num_buffers,
offsetof(typeof(hdr), num_buffers),
sizeof hdr.num_buffers)) {
vq_err(vq, "Failed num_buffers write");
vhost_discard_vq_desc(vq, headcount);
break;
}
vhost_add_used_and_signal_n(&net->dev, vq, vq->heads,
headcount);
if (unlikely(vq_log))
vhost_log_write(vq, vq_log, log, vhost_len);
total_len += vhost_len;
if (unlikely(total_len >= VHOST_NET_WEIGHT)) {
vhost_poll_queue(&vq->poll);
break;
}
}
out:
mutex_unlock(&vq->mutex);
}
从上述代码中可以看出
sock->ops->recvmsg会执行tun socket ops的tun_recvmsg函数，把tap收到的skb，放到virt_queue结构体中然后通过qemu kvm，以中断的形式唤醒virtio-net驱动的收报函数，注意vhost-net的收发包队列与virtio-net的收发包队列
是共享的
static int virtnet_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
{
struct receive_queue *rq =
container_of(napi, struct receive_queue, napi);
struct virtnet_info *vi = rq->vq->vdev->priv;
void *buf;
unsigned int r, len, received = 0;
again:
while (received < budget &&
(buf = virtqueue_get_buf(rq->vq, &len)) != NULL) {
receive_buf(vi, rq, buf, len);
--rq->num;
received++;
}
if (rq->num < rq->max / 2) {
if (!try_fill_recv(vi, rq, GFP_ATOMIC))
schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0);
}
/* Out of packets? */
if (received < budget) {
r = virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare(rq->vq);
napi_complete(napi);
if (unlikely(virtqueue_poll(rq->vq, r)) &&
napi_schedule_prep(napi)) {
virtqueue_disable_cb(rq->vq);
__napi_schedule(napi);
goto again;
}
}
return received;
}
该函数receive_buf会调用linux kernel标准的协议栈收报函数netif_receive_skb，至此数据包就通过tap到vhost-net
最终送到了虚拟机中
虚拟机向外发包
虚拟机向外发送数据包，首先会走linux 协议栈，协议栈发包最终都会调用网卡的xmit函数，对于
virtio-net网卡其xmit函数为
static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)
{
struct virtnet_info *vi = netdev_priv(dev);
int qnum = skb_get_queue_mapping(skb);
struct send_queue *sq = &vi->sq[qnum];
int err;
struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, qnum);
bool kick = !skb->xmit_more;
/* Free up any pending old buffers before queueing new ones. */
free_old_xmit_skbs(sq);
/* Try to transmit */
err = xmit_skb(sq, skb);
/* This should not happen! */
if (unlikely(err)) {
dev->stats.tx_fifo_errors++;
if (net_ratelimit())
dev_warn(&dev->dev,
"Unexpected TXQ (%d) queue failure: %d
", qnum, err);
dev->stats.tx_dropped++;
kfree_skb(skb);
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
}
/* Don't wait up for transmitted skbs to be freed. */
skb_orphan(skb);
nf_reset(skb);
/* Apparently nice girls don't return TX_BUSY; stop the queue
* before it gets out of hand. Naturally, this wastes entries. */
if (sq->vq->num_free < 2+MAX_SKB_FRAGS) {
netif_stop_subqueue(dev, qnum);
if (unlikely(!virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed(sq->vq))) {
/* More just got used, free them then recheck. */
free_old_xmit_skbs(sq);
if (sq->vq->num_free >= 2+MAX_SKB_FRAGS) {
netif_start_subqueue(dev, qnum);
virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq);
}
}
}
if (kick || netif_xmit_stopped(txq))
virtqueue_kick(sq->vq);
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
}
从代码中看就是把skb发到virtqueue中，然后调用virtqueue_kick通知qemu kvm，kvm 会把该数据包
送给vhost-net，vhost-net会调用
static void handle_tx(struct vhost_net *net)

在该函数中会调用sock->ops->sendmsg，也就是tun_sendmsg,在该函数中最终会调用
netif_rx,该函数就是协议栈网卡的收报函数，代表tap网卡已经收到数据包了，然后就可以通过
linux协议的briage把数据包发送出去啦
