This array was allocated separately in commit ac3d5ac2 ("xen-netback:
fix guest-receive-side array sizes") due to it being very large, and a
struct xenvif is allocated as the netdev_priv part of a struct
net_device, i.e. via kmalloc() but falling back to vmalloc() if the
initial alloc. fails.
In preparation for the multi-queue patches, where this array becomes
part of struct xenvif_queue and is always allocated through vzalloc(),
move this back into the struct xenvif.

When the NAPI budget was not all used, xenvif_poll() would call
napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a
race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the
interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by
race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was
running on a different CPU.
Fix this properly by calling napi_complete() before reenabling
interrupts (in the xenvif_napi_schedule_or_enable_irq() call).

The original series for reintroducing grant mapping for netback had a patch [1]
to handle receiving of packets from an another VIF. Grant copy on the receiving
side needs the grant ref of the page to set up the op.
The original patch assumed (wrongly) that the frags array haven't changed. In
the case reported by Sander, the sending guest sent a packet where the linear
buffer and the first frag were under PKT_PROT_LEN (=128) bytes.
xenvif_tx_submit() then pulled up the linear area to 128 bytes, and ditched the
first frag. The receiving side had an off-by-one problem when gathered the grant
refs.
This patch fixes that by checking whether the actual frag's page pointer is the
same as the page in the original frag list. It can handle any kind of changes on
the original frags array, like:
- removing granted frags from the array at any point
- adding local pages to the frags list anywhere
- reordering the frags
It's optimized to the most common case, when there is 1:1 relation between the
frags and the list, plus works optimal when frags are removed from the end or
the beginning.

An old inefficiency of the TX path that we are grant mapping the first slot,
and then copy the header part to the linear area. Instead, doing a grant copy
for that header straight on is more reasonable. Especially because there are
ongoing efforts to make Xen avoiding TLB flush after unmap when the page were
not touched in Dom0. In the original way the memcpy ruined that.
The key changes:
- the vif has a tx_copy_ops array again
- xenvif_tx_build_gops sets up the grant copy operations
- we don't have to figure out whether the header and first frag are on the same
grant mapped page or not
Note, we only grant copy PKT_PROT_LEN bytes from the first slot, the rest (if
any) will be on the first frag, which is grant mapped. If the first slot is
smaller than PKT_PROT_LEN, then we grant copy that, and later __pskb_pull_tail
will pull more from the frags (if any)

When netback discovers frontend is sending malformed packet it will
disables the interface which serves that frontend.
However disabling a network interface involving taking a mutex which
cannot be done in softirq context, so we need to defer this process to
kthread context.
This patch does the following:
1. introduce a flag to indicate the interface is disabled.
2. check that flag in TX path, don't do any work if it's true.
3. check that flag in RX path, turn off that interface if it's true.
The reason to disable it in RX path is because RX uses kthread. After
this change the behavior of netback is still consistent -- it won't do
any TX work for a rogue frontend, and the interface will be eventually
turned off.
Also change a "continue" to "break" after xenvif_fatal_tx_err, as it
doesn't make sense to continue processing packets if frontend is rogue.
This is a fix for XSA-90.

The worse-case estimate for skb ring slot usage in xenvif_rx_action()
fails to take fragment page_offset into account. The page_offset does,
however, affect the number of times the fragmentation code calls
start_new_rx_buffer() (i.e. consume another slot) and the worse-case
should assume that will always return true. This patch adds the page_offset
into the DIV_ROUND_UP for each frag.
Unfortunately some frontends aggressively limit the number of requests
they post into the shared ring so to avoid an estimate that is 'too'
pessimal it is capped at MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to
consume a maximum sized (slot-wise) packet. Probably the reason for that is to
avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish
the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the
shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets
which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend
has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits
onto the ring.
This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size,
and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance
on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up.

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

There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the

The recent patch to fix receive side flow control
(11b57f9025: 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.

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.

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.

tests on a pair of Windows 8 VMs and it has been verified that this patch
fixes the problem.

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.
Patch tested with frontends in:
- Windows Server 2008R2
- CentOS 6.0
- Debian Squeeze
- Debian Wheezy
- SLES11

The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and
too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets
with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero,
and M bit is not set).
This patch also incorporates a fix to callers of maybe_pull_tail() where
skb->network_header was being erroneously added to the length argument.

xenvif_start_xmit() relies on checking vif->task for NULL to determine
whether the vif is ready to accept packets. The task thread is stopped in
xenvif_disconnect() but task is not set to NULL. Thus, on a re-connect the
check will give a false positive.
Also since commit ea732dff5c (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).
