2013-03-25xen-netfront: frags -> slots in xennet_get_responsesWei Liu
This function is in fact counting the ring slots required for responses. Separate the concepts of ring slots and skb frags make the code clearer, as now netfront and netback can have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS, slot and frag are not mapped 1:1 any more.

This variable is supposed to hold reference to the last extra_info in the loop. However there is only type of extra info here and the loop to process extra info is missing, so this variable is never used and causes confusion. Remove it at the moment.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Features: * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure. Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the overall architecture: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/ * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (21 commits) xen/xen_initial_domain: check that xen_start_info is initialized xen: mark xen_init_IRQ __init xen/Makefile: fix dom-y build arm: introduce a DTS for Xen unprivileged virtual machines MAINTAINERS: add myself as Xen ARM maintainer xen/arm: compile netback xen/arm: compile blkfront and blkback xen/arm: implement alloc/free_xenballooned_pages with alloc_pages/kfree xen/arm: receive Xen events on ARM xen/arm: initialize grant_table on ARM xen/arm: get privilege status xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on ARM xen: do not compile manage, balloon, pci, acpi, pcpu and cpu_hotplug on ARM xen/arm: Introduce xen_ulong_t for unsigned long xen/arm: Xen detection and shared_info page mapping docs: Xen ARM DT bindings xen/arm: empty implementation of grant_table arch specific functions xen/arm: sync_bitops xen/arm: page.h definitions xen/arm: hypercalls ...

2012-01-04Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiationJan Beulich
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce a macro to simplify this. Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from the ID table will be used for .driver.name). Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

2011-12-12xen-netfront: delay gARP until backend switches to ConnectedLaszlo Ersek
After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However, if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's peers become unable to talk to the guest. A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is: (1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the bridge; and (2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move to Connected. These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already satisfied by commit f942dc2552b8 in Linus' tree, based on commit 6b0b80ca7165 from [1]. In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because, according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6 guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream. The Reviewed-by line comes from [3].

2011-03-30drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network driversJavier Martinez Canillas
The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed. Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the type of entropy source it is. drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced with these add_*_randomness exported functions. Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq mitigation and NAPI. If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

2011-03-15xen network backend driverIan Campbell
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.

2011-01-27xen: netfront: handle incoming GSO SKBs which are not CHECKSUM_PARTIALIan Campbell
The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a partial checksum). However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank. Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

These functions have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with all older kernel versions.
