* xen-netback: fix gso_prefix checkPaul Durrant2013-12-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 eventPaul Durrant2013-12-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 budgetPaul Durrant2013-12-121-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* xen-netback: make sure skb linear area covers checksum fieldPaul Durrant2013-12-111-32/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_partial_csum_set requires that the linear area of the skb covers the checksum field. The checksum setup code in netback was only doing that pullup in the case when the pseudo header checksum was being recalculated though. This patch makes that pullup unconditional. (I pullup the whole transport header just for simplicity; the requirement is only for the check field but in the case of UDP this is the last field in the header and in the case of TCP it's the last but one). The lack of pullup manifested as failures running Microsoft HCK network tests on a pair of Windows 8 VMs and it has been verified that this patch fixes the problem.

* xen-netback: fix fragment detection in checksum setupPaul Durrant2013-12-051-99/+137
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero, and M bit is not set). This patch also incorporates a fix to callers of maybe_pull_tail() where skb->network_header was being erroneously added to the length argument.

* xen-netback: clear vif->task on disconnectPaul Durrant2013-12-031-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 check of vif->tx_irq to a BUG_ON() and also add a BUG_ON(vif->task).

| * xen-netback: use jiffies_64 value to calculate credit timeoutWei Liu2013-10-293-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | time_after_eq() only works if the delta is < MAX_ULONG/2. For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2 and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be replenished and the guest may become unable to send packets (e.g., if prior to the long gap, all credit was exhausted). Use jiffies_64 variant to mitigate this problem for 32bit Dom0.

* xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIFDavid Vrabel2013-10-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a guest is destroyed without transitioning its frontend to CLOSED, the domain becomes a zombie as netback was not grant unmapping the shared rings. When removing a VIF, transition the backend to CLOSED so the VIF is disconnected if necessary (which will unmap the shared rings etc).

* xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut downPaul Durrant2013-09-193-21/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: count number required slots for an skb more carefullyDavid Vrabel2013-09-121-30/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a VM is providing an iSCSI target and the LUN is used by the backend domain, the generated skbs for direct I/O writes to the disk have large, multi-page skb->data but no frags. With some lengths and starting offsets, xen_netbk_count_skb_slots() would be one short because the simple calculation of DIV_ROUND_UP(skb_headlen(), PAGE_SIZE) was not accounting for the decisions made by start_new_rx_buffer() which does not guarantee responses are fully packed. For example, a skb with length < 2 pages but which spans 3 pages would be counted as requiring 2 slots but would actually use 3 slots. skb->data: | 1111|222222222222|3333 | Fully packed, this would need 2 slots: |111122222222|22223333 | But because the 2nd page wholy fits into a slot it is not split across slots and goes into a slot of its own: |1111 |222222222222|3333 | Miscounting the number of slots means netback may push more responses than the number of available requests. This will cause the frontend to get very confused and report "Too many frags/slots". The frontend never recovers and will eventually BUG. Fix this by counting the number of required slots more carefully. In xen_netbk_count_skb_slots(), more closely follow the algorithm used by xen_netbk_gop_skb() by introducing xen_netbk_count_frag_slots() which is the dry-run equivalent of netbk_gop_frag_copy().

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* xen-netback: don't disconnect frontend when seeing oversize packetWei Liu2013-04-221-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some frontend drivers are sending packets > 64 KiB in length. This length overflows the length field in the first slot making the following slots have an invalid length. 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 does not reopen the security hole in XSA-39 as if the packet as an invalid number of slots it will still hit fatal error case.

* xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressionsWei Liu2013-04-221-51/+224
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* netback: set transport header before passing it to kernelJason Wang2013-03-261-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This change is incorrect, as per Jan Beulich: ==================== But this is wrong from all we can tell, we discussed this before (Wei pointed to the discussion in an earlier reply). 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=2 Signed-off-by: David 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.
