x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted

2015-02-23T16:30:24Z

Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall has many sub-operations. A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall called from a hypercall continuation. However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is complete and the ioctl returns to user space. These long running tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection. Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to bracket hypercalls that may be preempted. Use these in the privcmd driver. When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible hypercall. Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) More iov_iter conversion work from Al Viro. [ The "crypto: switch af_alg_make_sg() to iov_iter" commit was wrong, and this pull actually adds an extra commit on top of the branch I'm pulling to fix that up, so that the pre-merge state is ok. - Linus ] 2) Various optimizations to the ipv4 forwarding information base trie lookup implementation. From Alexander Duyck. 3) Remove sock_iocb altogether, from CHristoph Hellwig. 4) Allow congestion control algorithm selection via routing metrics. From Daniel Borkmann. 5) Make ipv4 uncached route list per-cpu, from Eric Dumazet. 6) Handle rfs hash collisions more gracefully, also from Eric Dumazet. 7) Add xmit_more support to r8169, e1000, and e1000e drivers. From Florian Westphal. 8) Transparent Ethernet Bridging support for GRO, from Jesse Gross. 9) Add BPF packet actions to packet scheduler, from Jiri Pirko. 10) Add support for uniqu flow IDs to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer. 11) New NetCP ethernet driver, from Muralidharan Karicheri and Wingman Kwok. 12) More sanely handle out-of-window dupacks, which can result in serious ACK storms. From Neal Cardwell. 13) Various rhashtable bug fixes and enhancements, from Herbert Xu, Patrick McHardy, and Thomas Graf. 14) Support xmit_more in be2net, from Sathya Perla. 15) Group Policy extensions for vxlan, from Thomas Graf. 16) Remove Checksum Offload support for vxlan, from Tom Herbert. 17) Like ipv4, support lockless transmit over ipv6 UDP sockets.

xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special on x86 PV guests

2015-01-28T14:04:21Z

In an x86 PV guest, get_user_pages_fast() on a userspace address range containing foreign mappings does not work correctly because the M2P lookup of the MFN from a userspace PTE may return the wrong page. Force get_user_pages_fast() to fail on such addresses by marking the PTEs as special. If Xen has XENFEAT_gnttab_map_avail_bits (available since at least 4.0), we can do so efficiently in the grant map hypercall. Otherwise, it needs to be done afterwards. This is both inefficient and racy (the mapping is visible to the task before we fixup the PTEs), but will be fine for well-behaved applications that do not use the mapping until after the mmap() system call returns. Guests with XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap (ARM and x86 HVM or PVH) do not need this since get_user_pages() has always worked correctly for them.

xen/grant-table: add a mechanism to safely unmap pages that are in use

2015-01-28T14:03:14Z

Introduce gnttab_unmap_refs_async() that can be used to safely unmap pages that may be in use (ref count > 1). If the pages are in use the unmap is deferred and retried later. This polling is not very clever but it should be good enough if the cases where the delay is necessary are rare. The initial delay is 5 ms and is increased linearly on each subsequent retry (to reduce load if the page is in use for a long time). This is needed to allow block backends using grant mapping to safely use network storage (block or filesystem based such as iSCSI or NFS). The network storage driver may complete a block request whilst there is a queued network packet retry (because the ack from the remote end races with deciding to queue the retry). The pages for the retried packet would be grant unmapped and the network driver (or hardware) would access the unmapped page.

xen/grant-table: pre-populate kernel unmap ops for xen_gnttab_unmap_refs()

2015-01-28T14:03:10Z

When unmapping grants, instead of converting the kernel map ops to unmap ops on the fly, pre-populate the set of unmap ops. This allows the grant unmap for the kernel mappings to be trivially batched in the future. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Reviewed-by: Stefano Stabellini
