xenbus: delay xenbus frontend resume if xenstored is not running

2013-05-29T13:04:19Z

If the xenbus frontend is located in a domain running xenstored, the device resume is hanging because it is happening before the process resume. This patch adds extra logic to the resume code to check if we are the domain running xenstored and delay the resume if needed. Signed-off-by: Aurelien Chartier [Changes in v2: - Instead of bypassing the resume, process it in a workqueue] [Changes in v3: - Add a struct work in xenbus_device to avoid dynamic allocation - Several small code fixes] [Changes in v4: - Use a dedicated workqueue] [Changes in v5: - Move create_workqueue error handling to xenbus_frontend_dev_resume] Acked-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen: tmem: enable Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module

2013-05-01T00:04:01Z

Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module. Xen self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by module parameters. Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches are not present. If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered deprecated. Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported. [v1: Removed the [CLEANCACHE|FRONTSWAP]_HAS_LAZY_INIT ifdef] [v2: Squashed the xen/tmem: Remove the subsys call patch in] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build (disable_frontswap_selfshrinking undeclared)] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Bob Liu Cc: Wanpeng Li Cc: Andor Daam Cc: Florian Schmaus Cc: Minchan Kim Cc: Stefan Hengelein Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressions

2013-04-22T19:37:01Z

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.

xen-netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header

2013-04-22T19:37:01Z

The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly. Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535. This can 1) save the effort to send malformed packet to netback, 2) help spotting misconfiguration of netfront in the future. Signed-off-by: Wei Liu Acked-by: Ian Campbell Signed-off-by: David S.

xen: drop tracking of IRQ vector

2013-04-16T19:05:45Z

For quite a few Xen versions, this wasn't the IRQ vector anymore anyway, and it is not being used by the kernel for anything. Hence drop the field from struct irq_info, and respective function parameters. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

Konrad writes: [the branch] has a bunch of fixes. They vary from being able to deal with unknown requests, overflow in statistics, compile warnings, bug in the error path, removal of unnecessary logic. There is also one performance fix - which is to allocate pages for requests when the driver loads - instead of doing it per request

xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guests

2013-03-22T14:20:55Z

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway. This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI: add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requests

2013-03-11T17:54:28Z

If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request, the request was not translated and the response would have the incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave incorrectly or crash. Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place, regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP). This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend. This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would be invalid.
