xen: Add RING_COPY_REQUEST()

2015-12-18T15:00:17Z

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly (i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request generally requires taking a local copy. Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible compiler optimizations. Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or omitting the copy. This is part of XSA155. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen-netback: add support for multicast control

2015-09-02T18:45:00Z

Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared ring. The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h. To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries. This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future. If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

xen: Add Xen pvSCSI protocol description

2014-09-23T13:36:19Z

Add the definition of pvSCSI protocol used between the pvSCSI frontend in a XEN domU and the pvSCSI backend in a XEN driver domain (usually Dom0). This header was originally provided by Fujitsu for Xen based on Linux 2.6.18. Changes are: - Added comments. - Adapt to Linux style guide. - Add support for larger SG-lists by putting them in an own granted page. - Remove stale definitions.

Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip into for-linus

2014-02-10T19:52:34Z

Konrad writes: Please git pull the following branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git stable/for-jens-3.14 which is based off v3.13-rc6. If you would like me to rebase it on a different branch/tag I would be more than happy to do so. The patches are all bug-fixes and hopefully can go in 3.14. They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you are OK with I will ask them to backport those fixes. There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state transition. And lastly a fix to the header where it was using the __aligned__ unnecessarily.

xen-blkif: drop struct blkif_request_segment_aligned

2014-02-07T18:03:53Z

This was wrongly introduced in commit 402b27f9, the only difference between blkif_request_segment_aligned and blkif_request_segment is that the former has a named padding, while both share the same memory layout. Also correct a few minor glitches in the description, including for it to no longer assume PAGE_SIZE == 4096.
