Commit 9e2369c06c8a18 ("xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated
memory") introduced usage of ZONE_DEVICE memory for foreign memory
mappings.

Unfortunately this collides with using page-&gt;lru for Xen backend
private page caches.

Fix that by using page-&gt;zone_device_data instead.

Instead of having similar helpers in multiple backend drivers use
common helpers for caching pages allocated via gnttab_alloc_pages().

Make use of those helpers in blkback and scsiback.

<content type='text'>
In order to avoid tight event channel related IRQ loops add a new
framework of "late EOI" handling: the IRQ the event channel is bound
to will be masked until the event has been handled and the related
driver is capable to handle another event. The driver is responsible
for unmasking the event channel via the new function xen_irq_lateeoi().

This is similar to binding an event channel to a threaded IRQ, but
without having to structure the driver accordingly.

In order to support a future special handling in case a rogue guest
is sending lots of unsolicited events, add a flag to xen_irq_lateeoi()
which can be set by the caller to indicate the event was a spurious
one.

This is part of XSA-332.

<title>arm/arm64: xen: Fix to convert percpu address to gfn correctly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5a0677110b73dd3e1766f89159701bfe8ac06808</id>
<content type='text'>
Use per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() instead of virt_to_phys() for per-cpu
address conversion.

In xen_starting_cpu(), per-cpu xen_vcpu_info address is converted
to gfn by virt_to_gfn() macro. However, since the virt_to_gfn(v)
assumes the given virtual address is in linear mapped kernel memory
area, it can not convert the per-cpu memory if it is allocated on
vmalloc area.

This depends on CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK.
If it is enabled, the first chunk of percpu memory is linear mapped.
In the other case, that is allocated from vmalloc area. Moreover,
if the first chunk of percpu has run out until allocating
xen_vcpu_info, it will be allocated on the 2nd chunk, which is
based on kernel memory or vmalloc memory (depends on
CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM).

Without this fix and kernel configured to use vmalloc area for
the percpu memory, the Dom0 kernel will fail to boot with following
errors.

<content type='text'>
To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.

The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.

If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.

Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.
