xen/io/ring.h: new macro to detect whether there are too many requests on the ring

commit 8d9256906a97c24e97e016482b9be06ea2532b05 upstream.

Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of
produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over
requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more
requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests
and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses.

This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>.

xen/blkback: Check for insane amounts of request on the ring (v6).

commit 9371cadbbcc7c00c81753b9727b19fb3bc74d458 upstream.

commit 8e3f8755545cc4a7f4da8e9ef76d6d32e0dca576 upstream.

Check that the ring does not have an insane amount of requests
(more than there could fit on the ring).

If we detect this case we will stop processing the requests
and wait until the XenBus disconnects the ring.

The existing check RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW which checks for how
many responses we have created in the past (rsp_prod_pvt) vs
requests consumed (req_cons) and whether said difference is greater or
equal to the size of the ring, does not catch this case.

Wha the condition does check if there is a need to process more
as we still have a backlog of responses to finish. Note that both
of those values (rsp_prod_pvt and req_cons) are not exposed on the
shared ring.

To understand this problem a mini crash course in ring protocol
response/request updates is in place.

There are four entries: req_prod and rsp_prod; req_event and rsp_event
to track the ring entries. We are only concerned about the first two -
which set the tone of this bug.

The req_prod is a value incremented by frontend for each request put
on the ring. Conversely the rsp_prod is a value incremented by the backend
for each response put on the ring (rsp_prod gets set by rsp_prod_pvt when
pushing the responses on the ring).  Both values can
wrap and are modulo the size of the ring (in block case that is 32).
Please see RING_GET_REQUEST and RING_GET_RESPONSE for the more details.

The culprit here is that if the difference between the
req_prod and req_cons is greater than the ring size we have a problem.
Fortunately for us, the '__do_block_io_op' loop:

	rc = blk_rings->common.req_cons;
	rp = blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod;

	while (rc != rp) {

		..
		blk_rings->common.req_cons = ++rc; /* before make_response() */

	}

will loop up to the point when rc == rp. The macros inside of the
loop (RING_GET_REQUEST) is smart and is indexing based on the modulo
of the ring size. If the frontend has provided a bogus req_prod value
we will loop until the 'rc == rp' - which means we could be processing
already processed requests (or responses) often.

The reason the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW is not helping here is
b/c it only tracks how many responses we have internally produced
and whether we would should process more. The astute reader will
notice that the macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW provides two
arguments - more on this later.

For example, if we were to enter this function with these values:

       	blk_rings->common.sring->req_prod =  X+31415 (X is the value from
		the last time __do_block_io_op was called).
        blk_rings->common.req_cons = X
        blk_rings->common.rsp_prod_pvt = X

The RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW(&blk_rings->common, blk_rings->common.req_cons)
is doing:

	req_cons - rsp_prod_pvt >= 32

Which is,
	X - X >= 32 or 0 >= 32

And that is false, so we continue on looping (this bug).

If we re-use said macro RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW and pass in the rp
instead (sring->req_prod) of rc, the this macro can do the check:

     req_prod - rsp_prov_pvt >= 32

Which is,
       X + 31415 - X >= 32 , or 31415 >= 32

which is true, so we can error out and break out of the function.

Unfortunatly the difference between rsp_prov_pvt and req_prod can be
at 32 (which would error out in the macro). This condition exists when
the backend is lagging behind with the responses and still has not finished
responding to all of them (so make_response has not been called), and
the rsp_prov_pvt + 32 == req_cons. This ends up with us not being able
to use said macro.

Hence introducing a new macro called RING_REQUEST_PROD_OVERFLOW which does
a simple check of:

    req_prod - rsp_prod_pvt > RING_SIZE

And with the X values from above:

   X + 31415 - X > 32

Returns true. Also not that if the ring is full (which is where
the RING_REQUEST_CONS_OVERFLOW triggered), we would not hit the
same condition:

   X + 32 - X > 32

Which is false.

Lets use that macro.
Note that in v5 of this patchset the macro was different - we used an
earlier version.

xen/events: mask events when changing their VCPU binding

commit 5e72fdb8d827560893642e85a251d339109a00f4 upstream.

commit 4704fe4f03a5ab27e3c36184af85d5000e0f8a48 upstream.

When a event is being bound to a VCPU there is a window between the
EVTCHNOP_bind_vpcu call and the adjustment of the local per-cpu masks
where an event may be lost.  The hypervisor upcalls the new VCPU but
the kernel thinks that event is still bound to the old VCPU and
ignores it.

There is even a problem when the event is being bound to the same VCPU
as there is a small window beween the clear_bit() and set_bit() calls
in bind_evtchn_to_cpu().  When scanning for pending events, the kernel
may read the bit when it is momentarily clear and ignore the event.

Avoid this by masking the event during the whole bind operation.

sunrpc: clarify comments on rpc_make_runnable

commit 506026c3ec270e18402f0c9d33fee37482c23861 upstream.

rpc_make_runnable is not generally called with the queue lock held, unless
it's waking up a task that has been sitting on a waitqueue. This is safe
when the task has not entered the FSM yet, but the comments don't really
spell this out.
