we are advancing sg as we go, so the pages we need to drop in
case of error are *before* the current sg.

[ Upstream commit 8b949bef9172ca69d918e93509a4ecb03d0355e0 ]

We check tx avail through vhost_enable_notify() in the past which is
wrong since it only checks whether or not guest has filled more
available buffer since last avail idx synchronization which was just
done by vhost_vq_avail_empty() before. What we really want is checking
pending buffers in the avail ring. Fix this by calling
vhost_vq_avail_empty() instead.

This issue could be noticed by doing netperf TCP_RR benchmark as
client from guest (but not host). With this fix, TCP_RR from guest to
localhost restores from 1375.91 trans per sec to 55235.28 trans per
sec on my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz).

Fixes: 030881372460 ("vhost_net: basic polling support")

<title>vhost: fix initialization for vq-&gt;is_le</title>

commit cda8bba0f99d25d2061c531113c14fa41effc3ae upstream.

Currently, under certain circumstances vhost_init_is_le does just a part
of the initialization job, and depends on vhost_reset_is_le being called
too. For this reason vhost_vq_init_access used to call vhost_reset_is_le
when vq-&gt;private_data is NULL. This is not only counter intuitive, but
also real a problem because it breaks vhost_net. The bug was introduced to
vhost_net with commit 2751c9882b94 ("vhost: cross-endian support for
legacy devices"). The symptom is corruption of the vq's used.idx field
(virtio) after VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND was issued as a part of the vhost
shutdown on a vq with pending descriptors.

Let us make sure the outcome of vhost_init_is_le never depend on the state
it is actually supposed to initialize, and fix virtio_net by removing the
reset from vhost_vq_init_access.

With the above, there is no reason for vhost_reset_is_le to do just half
of the job. Let us make vhost_reset_is_le reinitialize is_le.

local_addr.svm_cid is host cid. We should check guest cid instead,
which is remote_addr.svm_cid. Otherwise we end up resetting all

Many modules call misc_register and misc_deregister in its module init
and exit methods without any additional code. This ends up being
boilerplate. This patch adds helper macro module_misc_device(), that
replaces module_init()/ module_exit() with template functions.

This patch also converts drivers to use new macro.

Change since v1:
Add device.h include in miscdevice.h as module_driver macro was not
available from other include files in some architectures.

The address of the iovec &amp;vq-&gt;iov[out] is not guaranteed to contain the scsi
command's response iovec throughout the lifetime of the command.  Rather, it
is more likely to contain an iovec from an immediately following command
after looping back around to vhost_get_vq_desc().  Pass along the iovec
entirely instead.
