This patch implements 1:1 model netback. NAPI and kthread are utilized to do the weight-lifting job: - NAPI is used for guest side TX (host side RX) - kthread is used for guest side RX (host side TX) Xenvif and xen_netbk are made into one structure to reduce code size. This model provides better scheduling fairness among vifs. It is also prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen netback.

When putting vif-s on the rx notify list, calling xenvif_put() must be deferred until after the removal from the list and the issuing of the notification, as both operations dereference the pointer.

Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do TX / RX notification, which may cause unnecessary wake-up of processing routines. This patch adds a new feature called feature-split-event-channels to netback, enabling it to handle TX and RX events separately. Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for TX completion, rx_irq for RX notification. If frontend doesn't support this feature, tx_irq equals to rx_irq.

This patch enables user to unload netback module, which is useful when user wants to upgrade to a newer netback module without rebooting the host. Netfront cannot handle netback removal event. As we cannot fix all possible frontends we add module get / put along with vif get / put to avoid mis-unloading of netback. To unload netback module, user needs to shutdown all VMs or migrate them to another host or unplug all vifs before hand.

Turn this error back into a non-fatal error by dropping the packet. To avoid having the following slots having fatal errors, consume all slots in the packet.

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.

Currently, for the packets receives from netback, before doing header check, kernel just reset the transport header in netif_receive_skb() which pretends non l4 header. This is suboptimal for precise packet length estimation (introduced in 1def9238: net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation) which needs correct l4 header for gso packets. The patch just reuse the header probed by netback for partial checksum packets and tries to use skb_flow_dissect() for other cases, if both fail, just pretend no l4 header.

The core of it is that the put here parallels the one in netbk_tx_err(), and the one in xenvif_carrier_off() matches the get from xenvif_connect() (which normally would be done on the path coming through xenvif_disconnect()). ==================== And a previous discussion of this issue is at: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=136084174026977&w=2Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

If the credit timer is left armed after calling xen_netbk_remove_xenvif(), then it may fire and attempt to schedule the vif which will then oops as vif->netbk == NULL. This may happen both in the fatal error path and during normal disconnection from the front end. The sequencing during shutdown is critical to ensure that: a) vif->netbk doesn't become unexpectedly NULL; and b) the net device/vif is not freed. 1. Mark as unschedulable (netif_carrier_off()). 2. Synchronously cancel the timer. 3. Remove the vif from the schedule list. 4. Remove it from it netback thread group. 5. Wait for vif->refcnt to become 0.

netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error(). Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g., if the vif is also removed).

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback. If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be penalised. As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period. Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown afterwards. This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the pager assist (typical scenario for dom0). This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies foreign grants). * Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the target foreign frame is paged out). * Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers. The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain. It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other status code results in identical code execution as before. The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a 32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry. V2 after feedback from David Vrabel: * Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero * Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module. V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell: * Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated error code we jump over. * Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor. * Some renaming. * Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface. V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

When calculating the number of slots required for a packet header, the code was reserving too many slots if the header crossed a page boundary. Since netbk_gop_skb copies the header to the start of the page, the count of slots required for the header should be based solely on the header size. This problem is easy to reproduce if a VIF is bridged to a USB 3G modem device as the skb->data value always starts near the end of the first page.

Rather than switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce a macro to simplify this. Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from the ID table will be used for .driver.name). Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.
