When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the
uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been
removed (details below).
In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug
script and will write a xenstore error node.
A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now
sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before).
Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it
for the lifetime of the backend device.
The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to
state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work
because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in
reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being
already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing
down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to
arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing)
such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is
fragile and prone to anger...
A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver
domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it
will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence
wrt xenstore changes.

Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along
information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and
backend.
The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in
general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to
various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also
included.
Affected Xen drivers:
* blkfront/back
* netfront/back
* pcifront/back
* scsifront/back
* vtpmfront
The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
net/ipv4/inet_diag.c
The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky. The conflict
hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It
split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
be_map_pci_bars().
So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.
The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

Every time a VIF is destroyed up to 256 pages may be leaked if packets
with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags were transmitted from the guest.
Even worse, if another user of ballooned pages allocated one of these
ballooned pages it would not handle the unexpectedly >1 page count
(e.g., gntdev would deadlock when unmapping a grant because the page
count would never reach 1).
When handling a from-guest skb with a frag list, unref the frags
before releasing them so they are freed correctly when the VIF is
destroyed.

If the pending indexes are released /after/ pushing the Tx response
then a stale pending index may be used if a new Tx request is
immediately pushed by the frontend. The may cause various WARNINGs or
BUGs if the stale pending index is actually still in use.
Fix this by releasing the pending index before pushing the Tx
response.
The full barrier for the pending ring update is not required since the
the Tx response push already has a suitable write barrier.

After commit e9d8b2c2968499c1f96563e6522c56958d5a1d0d (xen-netback:

leave the guest Rx thread spinning, wasting CPU time. Commit
ecf08d2dbb96d5a4b4bcc53a39e8d29cc8fef02e (xen-netback: reintroduce
guest Rx stall detection) made this even worse by removing a
cond_resched() from this path.
Since a fatal error is non-recoverable, just allow the guest Rx thread
to exit. This requires taking additional refs to the task so the
thread exiting early is handled safely.

Always fully coalesce guest Rx packets into the minimum number of ring
slots. Reducing the number of slots per packet has significant
performance benefits when receiving off-host traffic.
Results from XenServer's performance benchmarks:
Baseline Full coalesce
Interhost VM receive 7.2 Gb/s 11 Gb/s
Interhost aggregate 24 Gb/s 24 Gb/s
Intrahost single stream 14 Gb/s 14 Gb/s
Intrahost aggregate 34 Gb/s 34 Gb/s
However, this can increase the number of grant ops per packet which
decreases performance of backend (dom0) to VM traffic (by ~10%)
/unless/ grant copy has been optimized for adjacent ops with the same
source or destination (see "grant-table: defer releasing pages
acquired in a grant copy"[1] expected in Xen 4.6).

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.

Unconditionally pulling 128 bytes into the linear area is not required
for:
- security: Every protocol demux starts with pskb_may_pull() to pull
frag data into the linear area, if necessary, before looking at
headers.
- performance: Netback has already grant copied up-to 128 bytes from
the first slot of a packet into the linear area. The first slot
normally contain all the IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/UDP headers.
The unconditional pull would often copy frag data unnecessarily. This
is a performance problem when running on a version of Xen where grant
unmap avoids TLB flushes for pages which are not accessed. TLB
flushes can now be avoided for > 99% of unmaps (it was 0% before).
Grant unmap TLB flush avoidance will be available in a future version
of Xen (probably 4.6).

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.

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.

Frontends that do not provide feature-rx-notify may stall because
netback depends on the notification from frontend to wake the guest Rx
thread (even if can_queue is false).
This could be fixed but feature-rx-notify was introduced in 2006 and I
am not aware of any frontends that do not implement this.

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse
errors.
Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is
similar to pci and usb device registration.

Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns.
If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked.
NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the
interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not
initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS.
This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI
add/remove calls").
Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before
binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and
refactor the code with another patch.

The original implementation relies on a loop to check if all inflight
packets are freed. Now we have proper reference counting, there's no
need to use loop anymore.

Reference count the number of packets in host stack, so that we don't
stop the deallocation thread too early. If not, we can end up with
xenvif_free permanently waiting for deallocation thread to unmap grefs.

Originally netif_napi_add was in xenvif_init_queue and netif_napi_del
was in xenvif_deinit_queue, while kthreads were handled in
xenvif_connect and xenvif_disconnect. Move netif_napi_add and
netif_napi_del to xenvif_connect and xenvif_disconnect so that they
reside together with kthread operations.

The original code is bogus. The function gets called in a loop which
leaks entries created in previous rounds.

Enlarge buffer size and check input length properly, so that we don't
misuse -ENOSPC.
Note that command like "kickXXXX" is still allowed, that's one patch for
another day if we really want to be very strict on this.

In the patch called "xen-netback: Turn off the carrier if the guest is not able
to receive" NAPI was descheduled when the carrier was set off. That's
not what most of the drivers do, and we don't have any specific reason to do so
as well, so revert that change.

In the patch called "xen-netback: Turn off the carrier if the guest is not able
to receive" new branches were introduced to this if statement, risking that a
queue with non-zero id can reenable the disabled interface.

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.
