kthread: add kthread_stop_put

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task

followed by put_task_struct().

Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't
return the result of kthread_stop().

xen-netback: use default TX queue size for vifs

Do not set netback interfaces (vifs) default TX queue size to the ring size.
The TX queue size is not related to the ring size, and using the ring size (32)
as the queue size can lead to packet drops. Note the TX side of the vif
interface in the netback domain is the one receiving packets to be injected
to the guest.

Do not explicitly set the TX queue length to any value when creating the
interface, and instead use the system default. Note that the queue length can
also be adjusted at runtime.

xen-netback: support dynamic unbind/bind

By re-attaching RX, TX, and CTL rings during connect() rather than
assuming they are freshly allocated (i.e. assuming the counters are zero),
and avoiding forcing state to Closed in netback_remove() it is possible
for vif instances to be unbound and re-bound from and to (respectively) a
running guest.

Dynamic unbind/bind is a highly useful feature for a backend module as it
allows it to be unloaded and re-loaded (i.e. updated) without requiring
domUs to be halted.

This has been tested by running iperf as a server in the test VM and
then running a client against it in a continuous loop, whilst also
running:

while true;
do echo vif-$DOMID-$VIF >unbind;
echo down;
rmmod xen-netback;
echo unloaded;
modprobe xen-netback;
cd $(pwd);
brctl addif xenbr0 vif$DOMID.$VIF;
ip link set vif$DOMID.$VIF up;
echo up;
sleep 5;
done

in dom0 from /sys/bus/xen-backend/drivers/vif to continuously unbind,
unload, re-load, re-bind and re-plumb the backend.

Clearly a performance drop was seen but no TCP connection resets were
observed during this test and moreover a parallel SSH connection into the
guest remained perfectly usable throughout.

xen-netback: make sure that hashes are not send to unaware frontends

In the case when a frontend only negotiates a single queue with xen-
netback it is possible for a skbuff with a s/w hash to result in a
hash extra_info segment being sent to the frontend even when no hash
algorithm has been configured. (The ndo_select_queue() entry point makes
sure the hash is not set if no algorithm is configured, but this entry
point is not called when there is only a single queue). This can result
in a frontend that is unable to handle extra_info segments being given
such a segment, causing it to crash.

This patch fixes the problem by clearing the hash in ndo_start_xmit()
instead, which is clearly guaranteed to be called irrespective of the
number of queues.

This patch brings the call to xenvif_deinit_hash() in

xen-netback: add support for multicast control

Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet
multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows
the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets
which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared
ring.

The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies
the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal
necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h.

To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list
arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries.
This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future.
If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD
sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

xen-netback: support frontends without feature-rx-notify again

Commit bc96f648df1bbc2729abbb84513cf4f64273a1f1 (xen-netback: make
feature-rx-notify mandatory) incorrectly assumed that there were no
frontends in use that did not support this feature. But the frontend
driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms,
these stopped working.

Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except:

- If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only
the drain timeout will wake the thread. The default drain timeout
of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses.

- If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained,
then the Rx thread would never wake.

Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by:

- Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms.

- Disabling Rx stall detection.

xen-netback: reintroduce guest Rx stall detection

If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and
turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being
queued and drained when they expire.

A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a
an extended period of time (default 60 s).

If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the
expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The
carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.

When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state
and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

xen-netback: fix unlimited guest Rx internal queue and carrier flapping

Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and
it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are
discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken.

1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not
consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx
queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound.

The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill
leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S
slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback
queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer
slots.

2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the
(host) Tx queue is not stopped.

3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback
will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking
the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with
only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might
not fit in this).

The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib,
enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started
based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory
used by packets on the internal queue.

This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be
removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest
Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet.

skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the
current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect
when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired
skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can
be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to
wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain
timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets.

Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit.

xen-netback: Turn off the carrier if the guest is not able to receive

Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts
a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again.
This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and
slows down other guests shutdown.
This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer
fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif.
Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to
signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived,
so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest
can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect.
Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit
QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that.

xen-netback: bookkeep number of active queues in our own module

The original code uses netdev->real_num_tx_queues to bookkeep number of
queues and invokes netif_set_real_num_tx_queues to set the number of
queues. However, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues doesn't allow
real_num_tx_queues to be smaller than 1, which means setting the number
to 0 will not work and real_num_tx_queues is untouched.

This is bogus when xenvif_free is invoked before any number of queues is
allocated. That function needs to iterate through all queues to free
resources. Using the wrong number of queues results in NULL pointer
dereference.

So we bookkeep the number of queues in xen-netback to solve this
problem. This fixes a regression introduced by multiqueue patchset in
3.16-rc1.

There's another bug in original code that the real number of RX queues
is never set. In current Xen multiqueue design, the number of TX queues
and RX queues are in fact the same. We need to set the numbers of TX and
RX queues to the same value.

Also remove xenvif_select_queue and leave queue selection to core
driver, as suggested by David Miller.

xen-netback: disable rogue vif in kthread context

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: Stop using xenvif_tx_pending_slots_available

Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to

avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish
the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the
shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets
which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend
has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits
onto the ring.
This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size,
and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance
on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up.

Revert "xen-netback: Aggregate TX unmap operations"

This reverts commit e9275f5e2df1b2098a8cc405d87b88b9affd73e6. This commit is the
last in the netback grant mapping series, and it tries to do more aggressive
aggreagtion of unmap operations. However practical use showed almost no
positive effect, whilst with certain frontends it causes significant performance
regression.

xen-netback: Aggregate TX unmap operations

Unmapping causes TLB flushing, therefore we should make it in the largest
possible batches. However we shouldn't starve the guest for too long. So if
the guest has space for at least two big packets and we don't have at least a
quarter ring to unmap, delay it for at most 1 milisec.

xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path

A malicious or buggy guest can leave its queue filled indefinitely, in which
case qdisc start to queue packets for that VIF. If those packets came from an
another guest, it can block its slots and prevent shutdown. To avoid that, we
make sure the queue is drained in every 10 seconds.
The QDisc queue in worst case takes 3 round to flush usually.

xen-netback: Handle guests with too many frags

Xen network protocol had implicit dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Netback has to
handle guests sending up to XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX slots. To achieve that:
- create a new skb
- map the leftover slots to its frags (no linear buffer here!)
- chain it to the previous through skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list
- map them
- copy and coalesce the frags into a brand new one and send it to the stack
- unmap the 2 old skb's pages

It's also introduces new stat counters, which help determine how often the guest
sends a packet with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags.

NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until
"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise malicious guests can block
other guests by not releasing their sent packets.

xen-netback: Introduce TX grant mapping

This patch introduces grant mapping on netback TX path. It replaces grant copy
operations, ditching grant copy coalescing along the way. Another solution for
copy coalescing is introduced in "xen-netback: Handle guests with too many
frags", older guests and Windows can broke before that patch applies.
There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the
slots back to the guests when kfree_skb or skb_orphan_frags called. It feeds a
separate dealloc thread, as scheduling NAPI instance from there is inefficient,
therefore we can't do dealloc from the instance.

xen-netback: Fix Rx stall due to race condition

The recent patch to fix receive side flow control
(11b57f90257c1d6a91cee720151b69e0c2020cf6: 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: fix guest-receive-side array sizes

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: improve guest-receive-side flow control

The way that flow control works without this patch is that, in start_xmit()
the code uses xenvif_count_skb_slots() to predict how many slots
xenvif_gop_skb() will consume and then adds this to a 'req_cons_peek'
counter which it then uses to determine if the shared ring has that amount
of space available by checking whether 'req_prod' has passed that value.
If the ring doesn't have space the tx queue is stopped.
xenvif_gop_skb() will then consume slots and update 'req_cons' and issue
responses, updating 'rsp_prod' as it goes. The frontend will consume those
responses and post new requests, by updating req_prod. So, req_prod chases
req_cons which chases rsp_prod, and can never exceed that value. Thus if
xenvif_count_skb_slots() ever returns a number of slots greater than
xenvif_gop_skb() uses, req_cons_peek will get to a value that req_prod cannot
possibly achieve (since it's limited by the 'real' req_cons) and, if this
happens enough times, req_cons_peek gets more than a ring size ahead of
req_cons and the tx queue then remains stopped forever waiting for an
unachievable amount of space to become available in the ring.

Having two routines trying to calculate the same value is always going to be
fragile, so this patch does away with that. All we essentially need to do is
make sure that we have 'enough stuff' on our internal queue without letting
it build up uncontrollably. So start_xmit() makes a cheap optimistic check
of how much space is needed for an skb and only turns the queue off if that
is unachievable. net_rx_action() is the place where we could do with an
accurate predicition but, since that has proven tricky to calculate, a cheap
worse-case (but not too bad) estimate is all we really need since the only
thing we *must* prevent is xenvif_gop_skb() consuming more slots than are
available.

Without this patch I can trivially stall netback permanently by just doing
a large guest to guest file copy between two Windows Server 2008R2 VMs on a
single host.

Patch tested with frontends in:
- Windows Server 2008R2
- CentOS 6.0
- Debian Squeeze
- Debian Wheezy
- SLES11

xen-netback: clear vif->task on disconnect

xenvif_start_xmit() relies on checking vif->task for NULL to determine
whether the vif is ready to accept packets. The task thread is stopped in
xenvif_disconnect() but task is not set to NULL. Thus, on a re-connect the
check will give a false positive.

Also since commit ea732dff5cfa10789007bf4a5b935388a0bb2a8f (Handle backend
state transitions in a more robust way) it should not be possible for
xenvif_connect() to be called if the vif is already connected so change the

xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down

Without this patch, if a frontend cycles through states Closing
and Closed (which Windows frontends need to do) then the netdev
will be destroyed and requires re-invocation of hotplug scripts
to restore state before the frontend can move to Connected. Thus
when udev is not in use the backend gets stuck in InitWait.

With this patch, the netdev is left alone whilst the backend is
still online and is only de-registered and freed just prior to
destroying the vif (which is also nicely symmetrical with the
netdev allocation and registration being done during probe) so
no re-invocation of hotplug scripts is required.

xen/netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage.

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.

xen network backend driver

netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.

The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.

One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
future.

Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
window:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends
this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
cross merging into the net branch.
