      xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from old kernel · ddacf5ef
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      Add new xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after
      kexec boot.  The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the
      shutdown path.  They are still active, the double registration can not
      be detected by the new kernel.  When the watches fire, unexpected events
      will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL).  An
      orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its
      resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so
      the missing unregister is not an issue in that case.
      
      With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches
      for the guest.  However, a patch for xenstored is required so that it
      accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset
      23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored
      the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM
      guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated
      kexec boots will fail.
      
      [v5: use xs_single instead of passing a dummy string to xs_talkv]
      [v4: ignore -EEXIST in xs_reset_watches]
      [v3: use XS_RESET_WATCHES instead of XS_INTRODUCE]
      [v2: move all code which deals with XS_INTRODUCE into xs_introduce()
          (based on feedback from Ian Campbell); remove casts from kvec assignment]

      xen/pv-on-hvm kexec+kdump: reset PV devices in kexec or crash kernel · 116df6f0
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      After triggering a crash dump in a HVM guest, the PV backend drivers
      will remain in Connected state. When the kdump kernel starts the PV
      drivers will skip such devices. As a result, no root device is found and
      the vmcore cant be saved.
      
      A similar situation happens after a kexec boot, here the devices will be
      in the Closed state.
      
      With this change all frontend devices with state XenbusStateConnected or
      XenbusStateClosed will be reset by changing the state file to Closing ->
      Closed -> Initializing.  This will trigger a disconnect in the backend
      drivers. Now the frontend drivers will find the backend drivers in state
      Initwait and can connect.

        - extent printk message to include backend string
        - add comment to fall-through case in xenbus_reset_frontend]

      xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: prevent crash in xenwatch_thread() when stale watch events arrive · c4c303c7
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      During repeated kexec boots xenwatch_thread() can crash because
      xenbus_watch->callback is cleared by xenbus_watch_path() if a node/token
      combo for a new watch happens to match an already registered watch from
      an old kernel.  In this case xs_watch returns -EEXISTS, then
      register_xenbus_watch() does not remove the to-be-registered watch from
      the list of active watches but returns the -EEXISTS to the caller
      anyway.
      
      Because the watch is still active in xenstored it will cause an event
      which will arrive in the new kernel. process_msg() will find the
      encapsulated struct xenbus_watch in its list of registered watches and
      puts the "empty" watch handle in the queue for xenwatch_thread().
      xenwatch_thread() then calls ->callback which was cleared earlier by
      xenbus_watch_path().
      
      To prevent that crash in a guest running on an old xen toolstack remove
      the special -EEXIST handling.
      
      v2:
       - remove the EEXIST handing in register_xenbus_watch() instead of
         checking for ->callback in process_msg()

      xenbus: Make xenbus_switch_state transactional · 5b61cb90
      Daniel Stodden 提交于
      According to the comments, this was how it's been done years ago, but
      apparently took an xbt pointer from elsewhere back then. The code was
      removed because of consistency issues: cancellation wont't roll back
      the saved xbdev->state.
      
      Still, unsolicited writes to the state field remain an issue,
      especially if device shutdown takes thread synchronization, and subtle
      races cause accidental recreation of the device node.
      
      Fixed by reintroducing the transaction. An internal one is sufficient,
      so the xbdev->state value remains consistent.
      
      Also fixes the original hack to prevent infinite recursion. Instead of
      bailing out on the first attempt to switch to Closing, checks call
      depth now.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
