2013-10-08xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIFDavid Vrabel1-0/+4
If a guest is destroyed without transitioning its frontend to CLOSED, the domain becomes a zombie as netback was not grant unmapping the shared rings. When removing a VIF, transition the backend to CLOSED so the VIF is disconnected if necessary (which will unmap the shared rings etc). This fixes a regression introduced by 279f438e36c0a70b23b86d2090aeec50155034a9 (xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down).

2013-09-30xen-netback: Handle backend state transitions in a more robust wayPaul Durrant1-30/+118
When the frontend state changes netback now specifies its desired state to a new function, set_backend_state(), which transitions through any necessary intermediate states. This fixes an issue observed with some old Windows frontend drivers where they failed to transition through the Closing state and netback would not behave correctly.

2013-09-19xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut downPaul Durrant3-21/+23
Without this patch, if a frontend cycles through states Closing and Closed (which Windows frontends need to do) then the netdev will be destroyed and requires re-invocation of hotplug scripts to restore state before the frontend can move to Connected. Thus when udev is not in use the backend gets stuck in InitWait. With this patch, the netdev is left alone whilst the backend is still online and is only de-registered and freed just prior to destroying the vif (which is also nicely symmetrical with the netdev allocation and registration being done during probe) so no re-invocation of hotplug scripts is required.

2013-09-12xen-netback: count number required slots for an skb more carefullyDavid Vrabel1-30/+64
When a VM is providing an iSCSI target and the LUN is used by the backend domain, the generated skbs for direct I/O writes to the disk have large, multi-page skb->data but no frags. With some lengths and starting offsets, xen_netbk_count_skb_slots() would be one short because the simple calculation of DIV_ROUND_UP(skb_headlen(), PAGE_SIZE) was not accounting for the decisions made by start_new_rx_buffer() which does not guarantee responses are fully packed. For example, a skb with length < 2 pages but which spans 3 pages would be counted as requiring 2 slots but would actually use 3 slots. skb->data: | 1111|222222222222|3333 | Fully packed, this would need 2 slots: |111122222222|22223333 | But because the 2nd page wholy fits into a slot it is not split across slots and goes into a slot of its own: |1111 |222222222222|3333 | Miscounting the number of slots means netback may push more responses than the number of available requests. This will cause the frontend to get very confused and report "Too many frags/slots". The frontend never recovers and will eventually BUG. Fix this by counting the number of required slots more carefully. In xen_netbk_count_skb_slots(), more closely follow the algorithm used by xen_netbk_gop_skb() by introducing xen_netbk_count_frag_slots() which is the dry-run equivalent of netbk_gop_frag_copy().

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-04-22xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressionsWei Liu1-51/+224
This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39. Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots) per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing slots. Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17) which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots. To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more than max_skb_slots is considered malicious. The behavior of netback for packet is thus: 1-18 slots: valid 19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20. Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests. Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be fixed with separate patch.

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback. If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be penalised. As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period. Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown afterwards.

2012-09-21xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4.Andres Lagar-Cavilla1-8/+3
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.

2012-06-29xen/netback: only non-freed SKB is queued into tx_queueAnnie Li1-2/+2
After SKB is queued into tx_queue, it will be freed if request_gop is NULL. However, no dequeue action is called in this situation, it is likely that tx_queue constains freed SKB. This patch should fix this issue, and it is based on 3.5.0-rc4+. This issue is found through code inspection, no bug is seen with it currently. I run netperf test for several hours, and no network regression was found. Signed-off-by: Annie Li <annie.li@oracle.com> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-05-24xen/netback: Calculate the number of SKB slots required correctlySimon Graham1-2/+1
When calculating the number of slots required for a packet header, the code was reserving too many slots if the header crossed a page boundary. Since netbk_gop_skb copies the header to the start of the page, the count of slots required for the header should be based solely on the header size. This problem is easy to reproduce if a VIF is bridged to a USB 3G modem device as the skb->data value always starts near the end of the first page.

2012-01-04Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiationJan Beulich1-6/+3
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce a macro to simplify this. Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from the ID table will be used for .driver.name). Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.
