x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context

2014-07-30T13:22:47Z

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep. Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable lazy MMU mode. These two functions are only used in PV guests. Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in advance. Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping

2014-01-31T14:48:32Z

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss Suggested-by: David Vrabel Acked-by: David Vrabel Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/gnttab: Use phys_addr_t to describe the grant frame base address

2014-01-30T12:56:34Z

On ARM, address size can be 32 bits or 64 bits (if CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is enabled). We can't assume that the grant frame base address will always fits in an unsigned long. Use phys_addr_t instead of unsigned long as argument for gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Acked-by: Ian Campbell Reviewed-by: David Vrabel

xen/grant: Implement an grant frame array struct (v3).

2014-01-06T15:44:20Z

The 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' used to be an 'unsigned long' and contain the virtual address of the grants. That was OK for most architectures (PVHVM, ARM) were the grants are contiguous in memory. That however is not the case for PVH - in which case we will have to do a lookup for each virtual address for the PFN. Instead of doing that, lets make it a structure which will contain the array of PFNs, the virtual address and the count of said PFNs. Also provide a generic functions: gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames and gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames to populate said structure with appropriate values for PVHVM and ARM. To round it off, change the name from 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' to a more descriptive one - 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames'. For PVH, in patch "xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver" we will populate the 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames' by ourselves. v2 moves the xen_remap in the gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames and also introduces xen_unmap for gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames.

xen: grant: use xen_pfn_t type for frame_list.

2012-10-19T19:17:55Z

This correctly sizes it as 64 bit on ARM but leaves it as unsigned long on x86 (therefore no intended change on x86). The long and ulong guest handles are now unused (and a bit dangerous) so remove them. Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4.

2012-09-21T13:23:51Z

Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the pager assist (typical scenario for dom0). This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies foreign grants). * Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the target foreign frame is paged out). * Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers. The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain. It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other status code results in identical code execution as before. The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a 32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry. V2 after feedback from David Vrabel: * Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero * Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module. V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell: * Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated error code we jump over. * Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor. * Some renaming. * Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface. V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers. Signed-off-by: Andres Lagar-Cavilla Acked-by: Ian Campbell [v5: Fixed whitespace issues] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op->dev_bus_addr

2012-09-12T15:21:40Z

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is actually what Xen has written to it. Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead. It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).
