virtio_ring: fix stalls for packed rings

2019-11-06T12:09:18+00:00

commit 40ce7919d8730f5936da2bc8a21b46bd07db6411 upstream.

When VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX is negotiated, virtio devices can
use virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed to reduce the number of device
interrupts.  At the moment, this is the case for virtio-net when the
napi_tx module parameter is set to false.

In this case, the virtio driver selects an event offset and expects that
the device will send a notification when rolling over the event offset
in the ring.  However, if this roll-over happens before the event
suppression structure update, the notification won't be sent. To address
this race condition the driver needs to check wether the device rolled
over the offset after updating the event suppression structure.

With VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED, the virtio driver did this by reading the
flags field of the descriptor at the specified offset.

Unfortunately, checking at the event offset isn't reliable: if
descriptors are chained (e.g. when INDIRECT is off) not all descriptors
are overwritten by the device, so it's possible that the device skipped
the specific descriptor driver is checking when writing out used
descriptors. If this happens, the driver won't detect the race condition
and will incorrectly expect the device to send a notification.

For virtio-net, the result will be a TX queue stall, with the
transmission getting blocked forever.

With the packed ring, it isn't easy to find a location which is
guaranteed to change upon the roll-over, except the next device
descriptor, as described in the spec:

        Writes of device and driver descriptors can generally be
        reordered, but each side (driver and device) are only required to
        poll (or test) a single location in memory: the next device descriptor after
        the one they processed previously, in circular order.

while this might be sub-optimal, let's do exactly this for now.

virtio_ring: fix unmap of indirect descriptors

2019-09-09T14:43:15+00:00

The function virtqueue_add_split() DMA-maps the scatterlist buffers. In
case a mapping error occurs the already mapped buffers must be unmapped.
This happens by jumping to the 'unmap_release' label.

In case of indirect descriptors the release is wrong and may leak kernel
memory. Because the implementation assumes that the head descriptor is
already mapped it starts iterating over the descriptor list starting
from the head descriptor. However for indirect descriptors the head
descriptor is never mapped in case of an error.

The fix is to initialize the start index with zero in case of indirect
descriptors and use the 'desc' pointer directly for iterating over the
descriptor chain.

virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver

2019-07-05T22:19:10+00:00

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

vfs: Convert virtio_balloon to use the new mount API

2019-05-25T22:06:15+00:00

Convert the virtio_balloon filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

mount_pseudo(): drop 'name' argument, switch to d_make_root()

2019-05-25T21:59:24+00:00

Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root
so that d_path() on pipes would work.  These days it's
completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root.  However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it.  Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...

All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's
time to get rid of that cargo-culting...
