      xen-netback: Fix grant ref resolution in RX path · 58375744
      Zoltan Kiss 提交于
      The original series for reintroducing grant mapping for netback had a patch [1]
      to handle receiving of packets from an another VIF. Grant copy on the receiving
      side needs the grant ref of the page to set up the op.
      The original patch assumed (wrongly) that the frags array haven't changed. In
      the case reported by Sander, the sending guest sent a packet where the linear
      buffer and the first frag were under PKT_PROT_LEN (=128) bytes.
      xenvif_tx_submit() then pulled up the linear area to 128 bytes, and ditched the
      first frag. The receiving side had an off-by-one problem when gathered the grant
      refs.
      This patch fixes that by checking whether the actual frag's page pointer is the
      same as the page in the original frag list. It can handle any kind of changes on
      the original frags array, like:
      - removing granted frags from the array at any point
      - adding local pages to the frags list anywhere
      - reordering the frags
      It's optimized to the most common case, when there is 1:1 relation between the
      frags and the list, plus works optimal when frags are removed from the end or
      the beginning.

      xen-netback: disable rogue vif in kthread context · e9d8b2c2
      Wei Liu 提交于
      When netback discovers frontend is sending malformed packet it will
      disables the interface which serves that frontend.
      
      However disabling a network interface involving taking a mutex which
      cannot be done in softirq context, so we need to defer this process to
      kthread context.
      
      This patch does the following:
      1. introduce a flag to indicate the interface is disabled.
      2. check that flag in TX path, don't do any work if it's true.
      3. check that flag in RX path, turn off that interface if it's true.
      
      The reason to disable it in RX path is because RX uses kthread. After
      this change the behavior of netback is still consistent -- it won't do
      any TX work for a rogue frontend, and the interface will be eventually
      turned off.
      
      Also change a "continue" to "break" after xenvif_fatal_tx_err, as it
      doesn't make sense to continue processing packets if frontend is rogue.
      
      This is a fix for XSA-90.

      xen-netback: Fix Rx stall due to race condition · 9ab9831b
      Zoltan Kiss 提交于
      The recent patch to fix receive side flow control
      (11b57f90: xen-netback: stop vif thread
      spinning if frontend is unresponsive) solved the spinning thread problem,
      however caused an another one. The receive side can stall, if:
      - [THREAD] xenvif_rx_action sets rx_queue_stopped to true
      - [INTERRUPT] interrupt happens, and sets rx_event to true
      - [THREAD] then xenvif_kthread sets rx_event to false
      - [THREAD] rx_work_todo doesn't return true anymore
      
      Also, if interrupt sent but there is still no room in the ring, it take quite a
      long time until xenvif_rx_action realize it. This patch ditch that two variable,
      and rework rx_work_todo. If the thread finds it can't fit more skb's into the
      ring, it saves the last slot estimation into rx_last_skb_slots, otherwise it's
      kept as 0. Then rx_work_todo will check if:
      - there is something to send to the ring (like before)
      - there is space for the topmost packet in the queue
      
      I think that's more natural and optimal thing to test than two bool which are
      set somewhere else.

      xen-netback: stop vif thread spinning if frontend is unresponsive · 11b57f90
      Paul Durrant 提交于
      The recent patch to improve guest receive side flow control (ca2f09f2) had a
      slight flaw in the wait condition for the vif thread in that any remaining
      skbs in the guest receive side netback internal queue would prevent the
      thread from sleeping. An unresponsive frontend can lead to a permanently
      non-empty internal queue and thus the thread will spin. In this case the
      thread should really sleep until the frontend becomes responsive again.
      
      This patch adds an extra flag to the vif which is set if the shared ring
      is full and cleared when skbs are drained into the shared ring. Thus,
      if the thread runs, finds the shared ring full and can make no progress the
      flag remains set. If the flag remains set then the thread will sleep,
      regardless of a non-empty queue, until the next event from the frontend.

      xen-netback: fix guest-receive-side array sizes · ac3d5ac2
      Paul Durrant 提交于
      The sizes chosen for the metadata and grant_copy_op arrays on the guest
      receive size are wrong;
      
      - The meta array is needlessly twice the ring size, when we only ever
        consume a single array element per RX ring slot
      - The grant_copy_op array is way too small. It's sized based on a bogus
        assumption: that at most two copy ops will be used per ring slot. This
        may have been true at some point in the past but it's clear from looking
        at start_new_rx_buffer() that a new ring slot is only consumed if a frag
        would overflow the current slot (plus some other conditions) so the actual
        limit is MAX_SKB_FRAGS grant_copy_ops per ring slot.
      
      This patch fixes those two sizing issues and, because grant_copy_ops grows
      so much, it pulls it out into a separate chunk of vmalloc()ed memory.

      xen-netback: fix gso_prefix check · a3314f3d
      Paul Durrant 提交于
      There is a mistake in checking the gso_prefix mask when passing large
      packets to a guest. The wrong shift is applied to the bit - the raw skb
      gso type is used rather then the translated one. This leads to large packets
      being handed to the guest without the GSO metadata. This patch fixes the
      check.
      
      The mistake manifested as errors whilst running Microsoft HCK large packet
      offload tests between a pair of Windows 8 VMs. I have verified this patch
      fixes those errors.

      xen-netback: napi: don't prematurely request a tx event · d9601a36
      Paul Durrant 提交于
      This patch changes the RING_FINAL_CHECK_FOR_REQUESTS in
      xenvif_build_tx_gops to a check for RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS as the
      former call has the side effect of advancing the ring event pointer and
      therefore inviting another interrupt from the frontend before the napi
      poll has actually finished, thereby defeating the point of napi.
      
      The event pointer is updated by RING_FINAL_CHECK_FOR_REQUESTS in
      xenvif_poll, the napi poll function, if the work done is less than the
      budget i.e. when actually transitioning back to interrupt mode.

      xen-netback: napi: fix abuse of budget · 10574059
      Paul Durrant 提交于
      netback seems to be somewhat confused about the napi budget parameter. The
      parameter is supposed to limit the number of skbs processed in each poll,
      but netback has this confused with grant operations.
      
      This patch fixes that, properly limiting the work done in each poll. Note
      that this limit makes sure we do not process any more data from the shared
      ring than we intend to pass back from the poll. This is important to
      prevent tx_queue potentially growing without bound.
