[ Upstream commit dfa523ae9f2542bee4cddaea37b3be3e157f6e6b ]

Add a flag to indicate if a queue is rate-limited. Test the flag in
NAPI poll handler and avoid rescheduling the queue if true, otherwise
we risk locking up the host. The rescheduling will be done in the
timer callback function.

Instead of open-coding memcpy()s and directly accessing Tx and Rx
requests, use the new RING_COPY_REQUEST() that ensures the local copy
is correct.

This is more than is strictly necessary for guest Rx requests since
only the id and gref fields are used and it is harmless if the
frontend modifies these.

This is part of XSA155.

The last from guest transmitted request gives no indication about the
minimum amount of credit that the guest might need to send a packet
since the last packet might have been a small one.

Instead allow for the worst case 128 KiB packet.

The PV network protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity working as a
network backend on a non-modified Xen.

It's only necessary to adapt the ring size and break skb data in small
chunk of 4KB. The rest of the code is relying on the grant table code.

Originally that parameter was always reset to num_online_cpus during
module initialisation, which renders it useless.

The fix is to only set max_queues to num_online_cpus when user has not
provided a value.
