The qemu coding standard is to use CamelCase for type and structure names,
and the pseries code follows that... sort of. There are quite a lot of
places where we bend the rules in order to preserve the capitalization of
internal acronyms like "PHB", "TCE", "DIMM" and most commonly "sPAPR".
That was a bad idea - it frequently leads to names ending up with hard to
read clusters of capital letters, and means they don't catch the eye as
type identifiers, which is kind of the point of the CamelCase convention in
the first place.
In short, keeping type identifiers look like CamelCase is more important
than preserving standard capitalization of internal "words". So, this
patch renames a heap of spapr internal type names to a more standard
CamelCase.
In addition to case changes, we also make some other identifier renames:
VIOsPAPR* -> SpaprVio*
The reverse word ordering was only ever used to mitigate the capital
cluster, so revert to the natural ordering.
VIOsPAPRVTYDevice -> SpaprVioVty
VIOsPAPRVLANDevice -> SpaprVioVlan
Brevity, since the "Device" didn't add useful information
sPAPRDRConnector -> SpaprDrc
sPAPRDRConnectorClass -> SpaprDrcClass
Brevity, and makes it clearer this is the same thing as a "DRC"
mentioned in many other places in the code
This is 100% a mechanical search-and-replace patch. It will, however,
conflict with essentially any and all outstanding patches touching the
spapr code.

The spapr-vlan device in QEMU has always presented it's MAC address in
the device tree as an 8 byte value, even though PAPR requires it to be
6 bytes. This is because, at the time, AIX required the value to be 8
bytes. However, modern versions of AIX support the (correct) 6
byte value so they no longer require the workaround.
It would be neatest to always provide a 6 byte value but that would
cause a problem with old Linux kernel ibmveth drivers, so the old 8
byte value is still presented when necessary.
Since commit 13f85203e (3.10, May 2013) the driver has been able to
handle 6 or 8 byte addresses so versions after that don't need to be
considered specially.
Drivers from kernels before that can also handle either type of
address, but not always:
* If the first byte's lowest bits are 10, the address must be 6 bytes.
* Otherwise, the address must be 8 bytes.
(The two bits in question are significant in a MAC address: they
indicate a locally-administered unicast address.)
So to maintain compatibility the old 8 byte value is presented when
the lowest two bits of the first byte are not 10.

This is a mostly-mechanical conversion that creates a new flat
union 'Netdev' QAPI type that covers all the branches of the
former 'NetClientOptions' simple union, where the branches are
now listed in a new 'NetClientDriver' enum rather than generated
from the simple union. The existence of a flat union has no
change to the command line syntax accepted for new code, and
will make it possible for a future patch to switch the QMP
command to parse a boxed union for no change to valid QMP; but
it does have some ripple effect on the C code when dealing with
the new types.
While making the conversion, note that the 'NetLegacy' type
remains unchanged: it applies only to legacy command line options,
and will not be ported to QMP, so it should remain a wrapper
around a simple union; to avoid confusion, the type named
'NetClientOptions' is now gone, and we introduce 'NetLegacyOptions'
in its place. Then, in the C code, we convert from NetLegacy to
Netdev as soon as possible, so that the bulk of the net stack
only has to deal with one QAPI type, not two. Note that since
the old legacy code always rejected 'hubport', we can just omit
that branch from the new 'NetLegacyOptions' simple union.

Currently, the spapr-vlan device is trying to flush the RX queue
after each RX buffer that has been added by the guest via the
H_ADD_LOGICAL_LAN_BUFFER hypercall. In case the receive buffer pool
was empty before, we only pass single packets to the guest this
way. This can cause very bad performance if a sender is trying
to stream fragmented UDP packets to the guest. For example when
using the UDP_STREAM test from netperf with UDP packets that are
much bigger than the MTU size, almost all UDP packets are dropped
in the guest since the chances are quite high that at least one of
the fragments got lost on the way.
When flushing the receive queue, it's much better if we'd have
a bunch of receive buffers available already, so that fragmented
packets can be passed to the guest in one go. To do this, the
spapr_vlan_receive() function should return 0 instead of -1 if there
are no more receive buffers available, so that receive_disabled = 1
gets temporarily set for the receive queue, and we have to delay
the queue flushing at the end of h_add_logical_lan_buffer() a little
bit by using a timer, so that the guest gets a chance to add multiple
RX buffers before we flush the queue again.
This improves the UDP_STREAM test with the spapr-vlan device a lot:
Running
netserver -p 44444 -L <guestip> -f -D -4
in the guest, and
netperf -p 44444 -L <hostip> -H <guestip> -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -- -m 16384
in the host, I get the following values _without_ this patch:
Socket Message Elapsed Messages
Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput
bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec
229376 16384 60.00 1738970 0 3798.83
229376 60.00 23 0.05
That "0.05" means that almost all UDP packets got lost/discarded
at the receiving side.
With this patch applied, the value look much better:
Socket Message Elapsed Messages
Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput
bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec
229376 16384 60.00 1789104 0 3908.35

tl;dr:
This patch introduces an alternate way of handling the receive
buffers of the spapr-vlan device, resulting in much better
receive performance for the guest.
Full story:
One of our testers recently discovered that the performance of the
spapr-vlan device is very poor compared to other NICs, and that
a simple "ping -i 0.2 -s 65507 someip" in the guest can result
in more than 50% lost ping packets (especially with older guest
kernels < 3.17).
After doing some analysis, it was clear that there is a problem
with the way we handle the receive buffers in spapr_llan.c: The
ibmveth driver of the guest Linux kernel tries to add a lot of
buffers into several buffer pools (with 512, 2048 and 65536 byte
sizes by default, but it can be changed via the entries in the
/sys/devices/vio/1000/pool* directories of the guest). However,
the spapr-vlan device of QEMU only tries to squeeze all receive
buffer descriptors into one single page which has been supplied
by the guest during the H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN call, without
taking care of different buffer sizes. This has two bad effects:
First, only a very limited number of buffer descriptors is accepted
at all. Second, we also hand 64k buffers to the guest even if
the 2k buffers would fit better - and this results in dropped packets
in the IP layer of the guest since too much skbuf memory is used.
Though it seems at a first glance like PAPR says that we should store
the receive buffer descriptors in the page that is supplied during
the H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN call, chapter 16.4.1.2 in the LoPAPR spec
declares that "the contents of these descriptors are architecturally
opaque, none of these descriptors are manipulated by code above
the architected interfaces". That means we don't have to store
the RX buffer descriptors in this page, but can also manage the
receive buffers at the hypervisor level only. This is now what we
are doing here: Introducing proper RX buffer pools which are also
sorted by size of the buffers, so we can hand out a buffer with
the best fitting size when a packet has been received.
To avoid problems with migration from/to older version of QEMU,
the old behavior is also retained and enabled by default. The new
buffer management has to be enabled via a new "use-rx-buffer-pools"
property.
Now with the new buffer pool management enabled, the problem with
"ping -s 65507" is fixed for me, and the throughput of a simple
test with wget increases from creeping 3MB/s up to 20MB/s!

The code for -machine pseries maintains a global sPAPREnvironment structure
which keeps track of general state information about the guest platform.
This predates the existence of the MachineState structure, but performs
basically the same function.
Now that we have the generic MachineState, fold sPAPREnvironment into
sPAPRMachineState, the pseries specific subclass of MachineState.
This is mostly a matter of search and replace, although a few places which
relied on the global spapr variable are changed to find the structure via
qdev_get_machine().

All NICs have a cleanup function that, in most cases, zeroes the pointer
to the NICState. In some cases, it frees data belonging to the NIC.
However, this function is never called except when exiting from QEMU.
It is not necessary to NULL pointers and free data here; the right place
to do that would be in the device's unrealize function, after calling
qemu_del_nic. Zeroing the NIC multiple times is also wrong for multiqueue
devices.
This cleanup function gets in the way of making the NetClientStates for
the NIC hold an object_ref reference to the object, so get rid of it.

When the guests adds buffers to receive queue, the network device

Normally, the "tap" device is polled by QEMU if a guest NIC can
receive packets. If a guest NIC is stopped during transfer (rmmod or
ifdown), it may still have packets in a queue which have to be send
to the guest before QEMU enables polling of a "tap" interface via
tap_update_fd_handler().
However the spapr_llan device was missing the qemu_flush_queued_packets()
call so the tap_send_completed() callback was never called and therefore
"tap" interface polling was not enabled ever.
