xenbus: don't look up transaction IDs for ordinary writes

2016-08-24T17:16:18+00:00

This should really only be done for XS_TRANSACTION_END messages, or else at least some of the xenstore-* tools don't work anymore.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.

mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to static key

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled. The bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere. This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled reflect whether a backend is instantiated. But in the current state, all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check if frontswap_ops is non-NULL. This should at least be checked inline, but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration. Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with "frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check. There are two exceptions: - xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable. The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being registered. - in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP) as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend. After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL. Change the checks there to VM_BUG_ONs. While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as frontswap has been stable for some time.

x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping for HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op

2016-07-25T12:32:34+00:00

HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op() passes Linux's idea of vCPU id as a parameter while Xen's idea is expected. In some cases these ideas diverge so we need to do remapping. Convert all callers of HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op() to use xen_vcpu_nr(). Leave xen_fill_possible_map() and xen_filter_cpu_maps() intact as they're only being called by PV guests before perpu areas are initialized. While the issue could be solved by switching to early_percpu for xen_vcpu_id I think it's not worth it: PV guests will probably never get to the point where their idea of vCPU id diverges from Xen's.

xen/evtchn: add IOCTL_EVTCHN_RESTRICT

2016-07-25T09:59:31+00:00

IOCTL_EVTCHN_RESTRICT limits the file descriptor to being able to bind to interdomain event channels from a specific domain. Event channels that are already bound continue to work for sending and receiving notifications. This is useful as part of deprivileging a user space PV backend or device model (QEMU). e.g., Once the device model as bound to the ioreq server event channels it can restrict the file handle so an exploited DM cannot use it to create or bind to arbitrary event channels.
