2015-08-06xen/netback: Wake dealloc thread after completing zerocopy workRoss Lagerwall
Waking the dealloc thread before decrementing inflight_packets is racy because it means the thread may go to sleep before inflight_packets is decremented. If kthread_stop() has already been called, the dealloc thread may wait forever with nothing to wake it. Instead, wake the thread only after decrementing inflight_packets.

2015-08-03xen-netback: Allocate fraglist early to avoid complex rollbackRoss Lagerwall
Determine if a fraglist is needed in the tx path, and allocate it if necessary before setting up the copy and map operations. Otherwise, undoing the copy and map operations is tricky. This fixes a use-after-free: if allocating the fraglist failed, the copy and map operations that had been set up were still executed, writing over the data area of a freed skb.

2015-06-23xen-netback: fix a BUG() during initializationPalik, Imre
Commit edafc132baac ("xen-netback: making the bandwidth limiter runtime settable") introduced the capability to change the bandwidth rate limit at runtime. But it also introduced a possible crashing bug. If netback receives two XenbusStateConnected without getting the hotplug-status watch firing in between, then it will try to register the watches for the rate limiter again. But this triggers a BUG() in the watch registration code. The fix modifies connect() to remove the possibly existing packet-rate watches before trying to install those watches. This behaviour is in line with how connect() deals with the hotplug-status watch.

2015-06-01xen: netback: read hotplug script once at start of day.Ian Campbell
When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been removed (details below). In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug script and will write a xenstore error node. A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before). Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it for the lifetime of the backend device. The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing) such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is fragile and prone to anger... A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence wrt xenstore changes.

The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.

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).

Commit bc96f648df1bbc2729abbb84513cf4f64273a1f1 (xen-netback: make feature-rx-notify mandatory) incorrectly assumed that there were no frontends in use that did not support this feature. But the frontend driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms, these stopped working. Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except: - If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only the drain timeout will wake the thread. The default drain timeout of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses. - If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained, then the Rx thread would never wake. Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by: - Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms. - Disabling Rx stall detection.

2014-11-06xen-netback: remove unconditional __pskb_pull_tail() in guest Tx pathMalcolm Crossley
Unconditionally pulling 128 bytes into the linear area is not required for: - security: Every protocol demux starts with pskb_may_pull() to pull frag data into the linear area, if necessary, before looking at headers. - performance: Netback has already grant copied up-to 128 bytes from the first slot of a packet into the linear area. The first slot normally contain all the IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/UDP headers. The unconditional pull would often copy frag data unnecessarily. This is a performance problem when running on a version of Xen where grant unmap avoids TLB flushes for pages which are not accessed. TLB flushes can now be avoided for > 99% of unmaps (it was 0% before). Grant unmap TLB flush avoidance will be available in a future version of Xen (probably 4.6).

2014-10-25xen-netback: reintroduce guest Rx stall detectionDavid Vrabel
If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being queued and drained when they expire. A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a an extended period of time (default 60 s). If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready. When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

2014-10-25xen-netback: fix unlimited guest Rx internal queue and carrier flappingDavid Vrabel
Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken. 1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound. The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer slots. 2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the (host) Tx queue is not stopped. 3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might not fit in this). The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib, enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory used by packets on the internal queue. This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet. skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets. Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-25xen-netback: make feature-rx-notify mandatoryDavid Vrabel
Frontends that do not provide feature-rx-notify may stall because netback depends on the notification from frontend to wake the guest Rx thread (even if can_queue is false). This could be fixed but feature-rx-notify was introduced in 2006 and I am not aware of any frontends that do not implement this.

2014-08-25xen-netback: move netif_napi_add before binding interruptWei Liu
Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns. If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked. NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS. This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI add/remove calls"). Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and refactor the code with another patch.
