xen: grant: use xen_pfn_t type for frame_list.

This correctly sizes it as 64 bit on ARM but leaves it as unsigned
long on x86 (therefore no intended change on x86).

The long and ulong guest handles are now unused (and a bit dangerous)
so remove them.

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   - When hotplugging PCI devices in a PV guest we can allocate
     Xen-SWIOTLB later.
   - Cleanup Xen SWIOTLB.
   - Support pages out grants from HVM domains in the backends.
   - Support wild cards in xen-pciback.hide=(BDF) arguments.
   - Update grant status updates with upstream hypervisor.
   - Boot PV guests with more than 128GB.
   - Cleanup Xen MMU code/add comments.
   - Obtain XENVERS using a preferred method.
   - Lay out generic changes to support Xen ARM.
   - Allow privcmd ioctl for HVM (used to do only PV).
   - Do v2 of mmap_batch for privcmd ioctls.
   - If hypervisor saves the LED keyboard light - we will now instruct
     the kernel about its state.
  Fixes:
   - More fixes to Xen PCI backend for various calls/FLR/etc.
   - With more than 4GB in a 64-bit PV guest disable native SWIOTLB.
   - Fix up smatch warnings.
   - Fix up various return values in privmcmd and mm."

xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4.

2012-09-21T13:23:51+00:00

Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).

This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).

* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
  target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.

The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.

The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.

V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.

V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
  error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.

V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op->dev_bus_addr

2012-09-12T15:21:40+00:00

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.

Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

xenbus: Add support for xenbus backend in stub domain

2012-05-21T13:53:18+00:00

Add an ioctl to the /dev/xen/xenbus_backend device allowing the xenbus
backend to be started after the kernel has booted. This allows xenstore
to run in a different domain from the dom0.

xen/grant-table: Support mappings required by blkback

2011-12-20T22:07:27+00:00

Add support for mappings without GNTMAP_contains_pte. This was not
supported because the unmap operation assumed that this flag was being
used; adding a parameter to the unmap operation to allow the PTE
clearing to be disabled is sufficient to make unmap capable of
supporting either mapping type.

xen/granttable: Support transitive grants

2011-12-16T16:25:39+00:00

These allow a domain A which has been granted access on a page of domain B's
memory to issue domain C with a copy-grant on the same page.  This is useful
e.g. for forwarding packets between domains.

xen/granttable: Support sub-page grants

2011-12-16T16:25:02+00:00

- They can't be used to map the page (so can only be used in a GNTTABOP_copy
  hypercall).
- It's possible to grant access with a finer granularity than whole pages.
- Xen guarantees that they can be revoked quickly (a normal map grant can
  only be revoked with the cooperation of the domain which has been granted
  access).
