2014-03-07xen-netback: Aggregate TX unmap operationsZoltan Kiss3-1/+37
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.

2014-03-07xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX pathZoltan Kiss3-5/+61
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. Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-03-07xen-netback: Handle guests with too many fragsZoltan Kiss3-10/+162
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.

Also they help find out if packets are leaked, as if "sent != success + fail", there are probably packets never freed up properly.

2014-03-07xen-netback: Introduce TX grant mappingZoltan Kiss3-165/+371
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.

RX path need to know if the SKB fragments are stored on pages from another domain. Logically this patch should be after introducing the grant mapping itself, as it makes sense only after that. But to keep bisectability, I moved it here. It shouldn't change any functionality here. xenvif_zerocopy_callback and ubuf_to_vif are just stubs here, they will be introduced properly later on.

2014-03-07xen-netback: Use skb->cb for pending_idxZoltan Kiss1-17/+25
Storing the pending_idx at the first byte of the linear buffer never looked good, skb->cb is a more proper place for this. It also prevents the header to be directly grant copied there, and we don't have the pending_idx after we copied the header here, so it's time to change it.

2014-02-05xen-netback: Fix Rx stall due to race conditionZoltan Kiss3-16/+7
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.

2014-01-09xen-netback: stop vif thread spinning if frontend is unresponsivePaul Durrant2-5/+10
The recent patch to improve guest receive side flow control (ca2f09f2) had a slight flaw in the wait condition for the vif thread in that any remaining skbs in the guest receive side netback internal queue would prevent the thread from sleeping. An unresponsive frontend can lead to a permanently non-empty internal queue and thus the thread will spin. In this case the thread should really sleep until the frontend becomes responsive again. This patch adds an extra flag to the vif which is set if the shared ring is full and cleared when skbs are drained into the shared ring. Thus, if the thread runs, finds the shared ring full and can make no progress the flag remains set. If the flag remains set then the thread will sleep, regardless of a non-empty queue, until the next event from the frontend.

2013-12-29xen-netback: fix guest-receive-side array sizesPaul Durrant3-7/+24
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.

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.

2013-12-12xen-netback: napi: fix abuse of budgetPaul Durrant1-7/+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.

2013-12-11xen-netback: make sure skb linear area covers checksum fieldPaul Durrant1-32/+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.

2013-12-09xen-netback: improve guest-receive-side flow controlPaul Durrant3-185/+106
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.

2013-12-03xen-netback: clear vif->task on disconnectPaul Durrant1-8/+12

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).

2013-10-08xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIFDavid Vrabel1-0/+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). This fixes a regression introduced by 279f438e36c0a70b23b86d2090aeec50155034a9 (xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down).

2013-09-30xen-netback: Handle backend state transitions in a more robust wayPaul Durrant1-30/+118
When the frontend state changes netback now specifies its desired state to a new function, set_backend_state(), which transitions through any necessary intermediate states. This fixes an issue observed with some old Windows frontend drivers where they failed to transition through the Closing state and netback would not behave correctly.

2013-09-19xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut downPaul Durrant3-21/+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.

2013-09-12xen-netback: count number required slots for an skb more carefullyDavid Vrabel1-30/+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().

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.

Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c net/wireless/nl80211.c The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right next to the deletion of another option. The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). 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>
2013-06-13xen-netback: don't de-reference vif pointer after having called xenvif_put()Jan Beulich1-5/+6
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. Changing this got me to notice that the "irq" variable was effectively unused (and was of too narrow type anyway).
