a9339b8e13 xen-netback: (re-)create a debugfs node for hash information
It is useful to be able to see the hash configuration when running tests.
This patch adds a debugfs node for that purpose.

The original version of this patch (commit c0c64c1523) was reverted due
to build failures caused by a conflict with commit 0364a8824c
("xen-netback: switch to threaded irq for control ring"). This new version
of the patch is nearly identical to the original, the only difference
being that creation of the debugfs node is predicated on 'ctrl_irq' being
non-zero rather then the now non-existent 'ctrl_task'.

fedbc8c132 xen-netback: retire guest rx side prefix GSO feature
As far as I am aware only very old Windows network frontends make use of
this style of passing GSO packets from backend to frontend. These
frontends can easily be replaced by the freely available Xen Project
Windows PV network frontend, which uses the 'default' mechanism for
passing GSO packets, which is also used by all Linux frontends.

NOTE: Removal of this feature will not cause breakage in old Windows
      frontends. They simply will no longer receive GSO packets - the
      packets instead being fragmented in the backend.

cce94483e4 xen-netback: fix error handling on netback_probe()
In case of error during netback_probe() (e.g. an entry missing on the
xenstore) netback_remove() is called on the new device, which will set
the device backend state to XenbusStateClosed by calling
set_backend_state(). However, the backend state wasn't initialized by
netback_probe() at this point, which will cause and invalid transaction
and set_backend_state() to BUG().

Initialize the backend state at the beginning of netback_probe() to
XenbusStateInitialising, and create two new valid state transitions on
set_backend_state(), from XenbusStateInitialising to XenbusStateClosed,
and from XenbusStateInitialising to XenbusStateInitWait.

4e15ee2cb4 xen-netback: add control ring boilerplate
My recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new shared
ring (in addition to the rx and tx rings) for passing control messages
from a VM frontend driver to a backend driver.

This patch adds the necessary code to xen-netback to map this new shared
ring, should it be created by a frontend, but does not add implementations
for any of the defined protocol messages. These are added in a subsequent
patch for clarity.

22fae97d86 xen-netback: implement dynamic multicast control
My recent patch to the Xen Project documents a protocol for 'dynamic
multicast control' in netif.h. This extends the previous multicast control
protocol to not require a shared ring reconnection to turn the feature off.
Instead the backend watches the "request-multicast-control" key in xenstore
and turns the feature off if the key value is written to zero.

This patch adds support for dynamic multicast control in xen-netback.

210c34dcd8 xen-netback: add support for multicast control
Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet
multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows
the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets
which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared
ring.

The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies
the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal
necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h.

To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list
arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries.
This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future.
If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD
sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

12b322ac85 xen-netback: fix a BUG() during initialization
Commit edafc132ba ("xen-netback: making the bandwidth limiter runtime settable")
introduced the capability to change the bandwidth rate limit at runtime.
But it also introduced a possible crashing bug.

If netback receives two XenbusStateConnected without getting the
hotplug-status watch firing in between, then it will try to register the
watches for the rate limiter again.  But this triggers a BUG() in the watch
registration code.

The fix modifies connect() to remove the possibly existing packet-rate
watches before trying to install those watches.  This behaviour is in line
with how connect() deals with the hotplug-status watch.

31a418986a xen: netback: read hotplug script once at start of day.
When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the
uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been
removed (details below).

In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug
script and will write a xenstore error node.

A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now
sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before).

Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it
for the lifetime of the backend device.

The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to
state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work
because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in
reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being
already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing
down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to
arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing)
such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is
fragile and prone to anger...

A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver
domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it
will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence
wrt xenstore changes.

26c0e10258 xen-netback: support frontends without feature-rx-notify again
Commit bc96f648df (xen-netback: make
feature-rx-notify mandatory) incorrectly assumed that there were no
frontends in use that did not support this feature.  But the frontend
driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms,
these stopped working.

Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except:

- If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only
  the drain timeout will wake the thread.  The default drain timeout
  of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses.

- If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained,
  then the Rx thread would never wake.

Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by:

- Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms.

- Disabling Rx stall detection.

ecf08d2dbb xen-netback: reintroduce guest Rx stall detection
If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and
turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being
queued and drained when they expire.

A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a
an extended period of time (default 60 s).

If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the
expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well).  The
carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.

When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state
and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

f48da8b14d xen-netback: fix unlimited guest Rx internal queue and carrier flapping
Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and
it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are
discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken.

1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not
   consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx
   queue.  This could allow the queue to grow without bound.

   The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill
   leaving S slot free.  Netback queues a packet requiring more than S
   slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free).  Netback
   queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer
   slots.

2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the
   (host) Tx queue is not stopped.

3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback
   will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking
   the carrier down unnecessarily.  It also considers a queue with
   only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might
   not fit in this).

The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib,
enough for half the ring).  The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started
based on this limit.  This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory
used by packets on the internal queue.

This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be
removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway).  Instead, the guest
Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet.

skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the
current time plus the drain timeout).  The guest Rx thread will detect
when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired
skbs.  This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can
be queued for.  For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to
wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain
timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets.

Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit.

f7b50c4e7c xen-netback: bookkeep number of active queues in our own module
The original code uses netdev->real_num_tx_queues to bookkeep number of
queues and invokes netif_set_real_num_tx_queues to set the number of
queues. However, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues doesn't allow
real_num_tx_queues to be smaller than 1, which means setting the number
to 0 will not work and real_num_tx_queues is untouched.

This is bogus when xenvif_free is invoked before any number of queues is
allocated. That function needs to iterate through all queues to free
resources. Using the wrong number of queues results in NULL pointer
dereference.

So we bookkeep the number of queues in xen-netback to solve this
problem. This fixes a regression introduced by multiqueue patchset in
3.16-rc1.

There's another bug in original code that the real number of RX queues
is never set. In current Xen multiqueue design, the number of TX queues
and RX queues are in fact the same. We need to set the numbers of TX and
RX queues to the same value.

Also remove xenvif_select_queue and leave queue selection to core
driver, as suggested by David Miller.

dc62ccaccf xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIF
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
279f438e36 (xen-netback: Don't destroy
the netdev until the vif is shut down).

ea732dff5c xen-netback: Handle backend state transitions in a more robust way
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.

279f438e36 xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down
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.

e1f00a69ec xen-netback: split event channels support for Xen backend driver
Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do TX / RX notification,
which may cause unnecessary wake-up of processing routines. This patch adds a
new feature called feature-split-event-channels to netback, enabling it to
handle TX and RX events separately.

Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for TX completion, rx_irq for RX
notification.

If frontend doesn't support this feature, tx_irq equals to rx_irq.

b103f358d9 xen-netback: enable user to unload netback module
This patch enables user to unload netback module, which is useful when user
wants to upgrade to a newer netback module without rebooting the host.

Netfront cannot handle netback removal event. As we cannot fix all possible
frontends we add module get / put along with vif get / put to avoid
mis-unloading of netback. To unload netback module, user needs to shutdown all
VMs or migrate them to another host or unplug all vifs before hand.

73db144b58 Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiation
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.

f942dc2552 xen network backend driver
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 2e820f58f7 "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.
