VMCI: Doorbell create and destroy fixes

2016-10-28T12:26:21+00:00

This change consists of two changes:

1) If vmci_doorbell_create is called when neither guest nor
   host personality as been initialized, vmci_get_context_id
   will return VMCI_INVALID_ID. In that case, we should fail
   the create call.
2) In doorbell destroy, we assume that vmci_guest_code_active()
   has the same return value on create and destroy. That may not
   be the case, so we may end up with the wrong refcount.
   Instead, destroy should check explicitly whether the doorbell
   is in the index table as an indicator of whether the guest
   code was active at create time.

VMCI: use memdup_user().

2016-08-31T11:18:10+00:00

Use memdup_user to duplicate a memory region from user-space to
kernel-space, instead of open coding using kmalloc & copy_from_user.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

VMCI: Use 32bit atomics for queue headers on X86_32

2016-02-08T05:36:02+00:00

This change restricts the reading and setting of the head and tail
pointers on 32bit X86 to 32bit for both correctness and
performance reasons. On uniprocessor X86_32, the atomic64_read
may be implemented as a non-locked cmpxchg8b. This may result in
updates to the pointers done by the VMCI device being overwritten.
On MP systems, there is no such correctness issue, but using 32bit
atomics avoids the overhead of the locked 64bit operation. All this
is safe because the queue size on 32bit systems will never exceed
a 32bit value.

char: make misc_deregister a void function

2015-08-05T17:35:49+00:00

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that
actually checked the return value of this function.  And all of them
really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module
was shutting down no matter what.

So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from
misc_deregister().  If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a
WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver.
Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong.

VMCI: Guard against overflow in queue pair allocation

2015-03-25T10:32:15+00:00

The current maximum size of a queue in a queue pair is 128 MB. If
we increase that in the future, the queue pair allocation routines
may run into overflow issues. This change adds additional checks
to guard against this.

As of 240ddd495a9 (vmw_vmci: Convert driver to use get_user_pages_fast())
we no longer user get_user_pages(), thus update the warning.

Also convert to pr_debug, which is a more appropriate level of logging.
