2012-01-25xen/xenbus: Reject replies with payload > XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX.Ian Campbell
commit 9e7860cee18241633eddb36a4c34c7b61d8cecbc upstream. Haogang Chen found out that: There is a potential integer overflow in process_msg() that could result in cross-domain attack. body = kmalloc(msg->hdr.len + 1, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH); When a malicious guest passes 0xffffffff in msg->hdr.len, the subsequent call to xb_read() would write to a zero-length buffer. The other end of this connection is always the xenstore backend daemon so there is no guest (malicious or otherwise) which can do this. The xenstore daemon is a trusted component in the system. However this seem like a reasonable robustness improvement so we should have it. And Ian when read the API docs found that: The payload length (len field of the header) is limited to 4096 (XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX) in both directions. If a client exceeds the limit, its xenstored connection will be immediately killed by xenstored, which is usually catastrophic from the client's point of view. Clients (particularly domains, which cannot just reconnect) should avoid this. so this patch checks against that instead. This also avoids a potential integer overflow pointed out by Haogang Chen.

2011-03-15xen network backend driverIan Campbell
netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows. The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback. One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the future. Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge window: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for cross merging into the net branch.

2011-02-25xen-blkfront: handle Xen major numbers other than XENVBDStefano Stabellini
This patch makes sure blkfront handles correctly virtual device numbers corresponding to Xen emulated IDE and SCSI disks: in those cases blkfront translates the major number to XENVBD and the minor number to a low xvd minor. Note: this behaviour is different from what old xenlinux PV guests used to do: they used to steal an IDE or SCSI major number and use it instead.

2008-05-27xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)Markus Armbruster
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory. xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change. Fully backwards compatible both ways. Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video. The backend enforces a separate size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore directory. xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it. Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit system with 4K pages). Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported, yet.

2008-04-24xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driverMarkus Armbruster
This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers: drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse. The backends run in dom0 user space. The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic: the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete device initialization unless they're both present.

2008-04-24xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstoreMarkus Armbruster
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and thus needs this fix.
