xen-netback: notify immediately after pushing Tx response.

2015-03-12T03:30:44+00:00

This fixes a performance regression introduced by
7fbb9d8415d4a51cf542e87cf3a717a9f7e6aedc (xen-netback: release pending
index before pushing Tx responses)

Moving the notify outside of the spin locks means it can be delayed a
long time (if the dealloc thread is descheduled or there is an
interrupt or softirq).

xen-netback: refactor xenvif_handle_frag_list()

2015-03-05T19:58:18+00:00

When handling a from-guest frag list, xenvif_handle_frag_list()
replaces the frags before calling the destructor to clean up the
original (foreign) frags.  Whilst this is safe (the destructor doesn't
actually use the frags), it looks odd.

Reorder the function to be less confusing.

xen-netback: unref frags when handling a from-guest skb with a frag list

2015-03-05T19:58:17+00:00

Every time a VIF is destroyed up to 256 pages may be leaked if packets
with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags were transmitted from the guest.
Even worse, if another user of ballooned pages allocated one of these
ballooned pages it would not handle the unexpectedly >1 page count
(e.g., gntdev would deadlock when unmapping a grant because the page
count would never reach 1).

When handling a from-guest skb with a frag list, unref the frags
before releasing them so they are freed correctly when the VIF is
destroyed.

xen-netback: release pending index before pushing Tx responses

2015-02-24T21:24:22+00:00

If the pending indexes are released /after/ pushing the Tx response
then a stale pending index may be used if a new Tx request is
immediately pushed by the frontend.  The may cause various WARNINGs or
BUGs if the stale pending index is actually still in use.

Fix this by releasing the pending index before pushing the Tx
response.

The full barrier for the pending ring update is not required since the
the Tx response push already has a suitable write barrier.

 1) More iov_iter conversion work from Al Viro.

    [ The "crypto: switch af_alg_make_sg() to iov_iter" commit was
      wrong, and this pull actually adds an extra commit on top of the
      branch I'm pulling to fix that up, so that the pre-merge state is
      ok.   - Linus ]

 2) Various optimizations to the ipv4 forwarding information base trie
    lookup implementation.  From Alexander Duyck.

 3) Remove sock_iocb altogether, from CHristoph Hellwig.

 4) Allow congestion control algorithm selection via routing metrics.
    From Daniel Borkmann.

 5) Make ipv4 uncached route list per-cpu, from Eric Dumazet.

11) New NetCP ethernet driver, from Muralidharan Karicheri and Wingman
    Kwok.

12) More sanely handle out-of-window dupacks, which can result in
    serious ACK storms.  From Neal Cardwell.

13) Various rhashtable bug fixes and enhancements, from Herbert Xu,
    Patrick McHardy, and Thomas Graf.

14) Support xmit_more in be2net, from Sathya Perla.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/vxlan.c
	drivers/vhost/net.c
	include/linux/if_vlan.h
	net/core/dev.c

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.

In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.

In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.

In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

xen-netback: stop the guest rx thread after a fatal error

2015-02-03T03:39:04+00:00

After commit e9d8b2c2968499c1f96563e6522c56958d5a1d0d (xen-netback:
disable rogue vif in kthread context), a fatal (protocol) error would
leave the guest Rx thread spinning, wasting CPU time.  Commit
ecf08d2dbb96d5a4b4bcc53a39e8d29cc8fef02e (xen-netback: reintroduce
guest Rx stall detection) made this even worse by removing a
cond_resched() from this path.

Since a fatal error is non-recoverable, just allow the guest Rx thread
to exit.  This requires taking additional refs to the task so the
thread exiting early is handled safely.
