This config option provided very little value and instead we now enable
this feature (which then lets the guest control the cache mode)

Move the method that is used to decide whether the guest should be
signalled into the Queue implementation from vm-virtio. This removes
duplicated code between vhost_user_backend and the vm-virtio block
implementation.

Add a new "host_mac" parameter to "--net" and "--net-backend" and use
this to set the MAC address on the tap interface. If no address is given
one is randomly assigned and is stored in the config.
Support for vhost-user-net self spawning was also included.

Implement seccomp; we use one filter for all threads.
The syscall list comes from the C daemon with syscalls added
as I hit them.
The default behaviour is to kill the process, this normally gets
audit logged.
--seccomp none disables seccomp
log Just logs violations but doesn't stop it
trap causes a signal to be be sent that can be trapped.
If you suspect you're hitting a seccomp action then you can
check the audit log; you could also switch to running with 'log'
to collect a bunch of calls to report.
To see where the syscalls are coming from use 'trap' with a debugger
or coredump to backtrace it.
This can be improved for some syscalls to restrict the parameters
to some syscalls to make them more restrictive.

Implement support for setting up a sandbox for running the
service. The technique for this has been borrowed from virtiofsd, and
consists on switching to new PID, mount and network namespaces, and
then switching root to the directory to be shared.
Future patches will implement additional hardening features like
dropping capabilities and seccomp filters.

Changes is vhost crate require VhostUserDaemon users to create and
provide a vhost::Listener in advance. This allows us to adopt
sandboxing strategies in the future, by being able to create the UNIX
socket before switching to a restricted namespace.
Update also the reference to vhost crate in Cargo.lock to point to the
latest commit from the dragonball branch.

The ch-remote usage says:
OPTIONS:
--api-socket <api-socket> HTTP API socket path (UNIX domain socket).
However it doesn't seem to actually accept that syntax, instead
requiring "--api-socket=". This may be a clap bug however it is resolved
by setting the number of arguments requires to exactly one. Which is
also the actual correct number.

By adding a "thread_id" parameter to handle_event(), the backend crate
can now indicate to the backend implementation which thread triggered
the processing of some events.
This is applied to vhost-user-net backend and allows for simplifying a

By changing the mutability of this function, after adapting all
backends, we should be able to implement multithreads with
multiqueues support without hitting a bottleneck on the backend
locking.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
Both blk, net and fs backends have been updated to avoid the requirement
of having handle_event(&mut self). This will allow the backend crate to
avoid taking a write lock onto the backend object, which will remove the
potential contention point when multiple threads will be handling
multiqueues.

This opens the backing file read-only, makes the pages in the mmap()
read-only and also makes the KVM mapping read-only. The file is also
mapped with MAP_PRIVATE to make the changes local to this process only.
This is functional alternative to having support for making a
virtio-pmem device readonly. Unfortunately there is no concept of
readonly virtio-pmem (or any type of NVDIMM/PMEM) in the Linux kernel so
to be able to have a block device that is appears readonly in the guest
requires significant specification and kernel changes.

Extended attributes (xattr) support has a huge impact on write
performance. The reason for this is that, if enabled, FUSE sends a
setxattr request after each write operation, and due to the inode
locking inside the kernel during said request, the ability to execute
the operations in parallel becomes heavily limited.
Signed-off-by: Sergio Lopez <slp@redhat.com>
This change enables vhost_user_fs to process multiple requests in
parallel by scheduling them into a ThreadPool (from the Futures
crate).
Parallelism on a single file is limited by the nature of the operation
executed on it. A recent commit replaced the Mutex that protects the
File within HandleData with a RwLock, to allow some operations (at
this moment, only "read" and "write") to proceed in parallel by
acquiring a read lock.
A more complex approach was also implemented [1], involving
instrumentation through vhost_user_backend to be able to serialize
completions, reducing the pressure on the vring RwLock. This strategy
improved the performance on some corner cases, while making it worse
on other, more common ones. This fact, in addition to it requiring
wider changes through the source code, prompted me to drop it in favor
of this one.
