[Xen-devel][Pv-ops][PATCH 0/4 v4] Netback multiple threads support

["Xu, Dongxiao" <dongxiao.xu@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is netback multithread support patchset version 4.

Main Changes from v3:
1. Patchset is against xen/next tree.
2. Merge group and idx into netif->mapping.
3. Use vmalloc to allocate netbk structures.

Main Changes from v2:
1. Merge "group" and "idx" into "netif->mapping", therefore
page_ext is not used now.
2. Put netbk_add_netif() and netbk_remove_netif() into
__netif_up() and __netif_down().
3. Change the usage of kthread_should_stop().
4. Use __get_free_pages() to replace kzalloc().
5. Modify the changes to netif_be_dbg().
6. Use MODPARM_netback_kthread to determine whether using
tasklet or kernel thread.
7. Put small fields in the front, and large arrays in the end of struct
xen_netbk.
8. Add more checks in netif_page_release().

Current netback uses one pair of tasklets for Tx/Rx data transaction.
Netback tasklet could only run at one CPU at a time, and it is used to
serve all the netfronts. Therefore it has become a performance bottle
neck. This patch is to use multiple tasklet pairs to replace the current
single pair in dom0. 

Assuming that Dom0 has CPUNR VCPUs, we define CPUNR kinds of
tasklets pair (CPUNR for Tx, and CPUNR for Rx). Each pare of tasklets
serve specific group of netfronts. Also for those global and static
variables, we duplicated them for each group in order to avoid the
spinlock. 

PATCH 01: Generilize static/global variables into 'struct xen_netbk'.

PATCH 02: Introduce a new struct type page_ext.

PATCH 03: Multiple tasklets support.

PATCH 04: Use Kernel thread to replace the tasklet.

Recently I re-tested the patchset with Intel 10G multi-queue NIC device,
and use 10 outside 1G NICs to do netperf tests with that 10G NIC.

Case 1: Dom0 has more than 10 vcpus pinned with each physical CPU.
With the patchset, the performance is 2x of the original throughput.

Case 2: Dom0 has 4 vcpus pinned with 4 physical CPUs.
With the patchset, the performance is 3.7x of the original throughput. 

when we test this patch, we found that the domain_lock in grant table
operation (gnttab_copy()) becomes a bottle neck. We temporarily
remove the global domain_lock to achieve good performance.
