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.

There is a mistake in checking the gso_prefix mask when passing large
packets to a guest. The wrong shift is applied to the bit - the raw skb
gso type is used rather then the translated one. This leads to large packets
being handed to the guest without the GSO metadata. This patch fixes the
check.
The mistake manifested as errors whilst running Microsoft HCK large packet
offload tests between a pair of Windows 8 VMs. I have verified this patch

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.

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. This is important to
prevent tx_queue potentially growing without bound.

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).

Also since commit ea732dff5c (Handle backend

time_after_eq() only works if the delta is < MAX_ULONG/2.
For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time
between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2
and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be
replenished and the guest may become unable to send packets (e.g., if
prior to the long gap, all credit was exhausted).

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.

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().

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

This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy
structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's
MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions
avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39.
Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots)
per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but
remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing
slots.
Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from
just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed
by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17)
which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets
using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots.
To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more
than max_skb_slots is considered malicious.
The behavior of netback for packet is thus:
1-18 slots: valid
19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error
max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error
max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20.
Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests.
Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be
fixed with separate patch.

This reverts commit d37204566a.
This change is incorrect, as per Jan Beulich:
====================
But this is wrong from all we can tell, we discussed this before
(Wei pointed to the discussion in an earlier reply). The core of
it is that the put here parallels the one in netbk_tx_err(), and
the one in xenvif_carrier_off() matches the get from
xenvif_connect() (which normally would be done on the path
coming through xenvif_disconnect()).
====================
And a previous discussion of this issue is at:

netbk_fatal_tx_err() calls xenvif_carrier_off(), which does
a xenvif_put(). As callers of netbk_fatal_tx_err should only
have one reference to the vif at this time, then the xenvif_put
in netbk_fatal_tx_err is one too many.

Pull in 'net' to take in the bug fixes that didn't make it into
3.8-final.
Also, deal with the semantic conflict of the change made to
net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c A missing rt6->n neighbour release
was added to 'net', but in 'net-next' we no longer cache the
neighbour entries in the ipv6 routes so that change is not
appropriate there.

If the credit timer is left armed after calling
xen_netbk_remove_xenvif(), then it may fire and attempt to schedule
the vif which will then oops as vif->netbk == NULL.
This may happen both in the fatal error path and during normal
disconnection from the front end.
The sequencing during shutdown is critical to ensure that: a)
vif->netbk doesn't become unexpectedly NULL; and b) the net device/vif
is not freed.
1. Mark as unschedulable (netif_carrier_off()).
2. Synchronously cancel the timer.
3. Remove the vif from the schedule list.
4. Remove it from it netback thread group.
5. Wait for vif->refcnt to become 0.

netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call
netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used
afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error().
Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may
be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g.,
if the vif is also removed).
