[ Upstream commit 33caa208dba6fa639e8a92fd0c8320b652e5550c ]

The existing code move the VF NIC to new namespace when NETDEV_REGISTER is
received on netvsc NIC. During deletion of the namespace,
default_device_exit_batch() &gt;&gt; default_device_exit_net() is called. When
netvsc NIC is moved back and registered to the default namespace, it
automatically brings VF NIC back to the default namespace. This will cause
the default_device_exit_net() &gt;&gt; for_each_netdev_safe loop unable to detect
the list end, and hit NULL ptr:

[ Upstream commit 4d18fcc95f50950a99bd940d4e61a983f91d267a ]

Currently, pointers to guest memory are passed to Hyper-V as
transaction IDs in netvsc. In the face of errors or malicious
behavior in Hyper-V, netvsc should not expose or trust the transaction
IDs returned by Hyper-V to be valid guest memory addresses. Instead,
use small integers generated by vmbus_requestor as requests
(transaction) IDs.

commit 365e1ececb2905f94cc10a5817c5b644a32a3ae2 upstream.

During vm boot, there might be possibility that vf registration
call comes before the vf association from host to vm.

And this might break netvsc vf path, To prevent the same block
vf registration until vf bind message comes from host.

For additional robustness in the face of Hyper-V errors or malicious
behavior, validate all values that originate from packets that Hyper-V
has sent to the guest in the host-to-guest ring buffer. Ensure that
invalid values cannot cause indexing off the end of an array, or
subvert an existing validation via integer overflow. Ensure that
outgoing packets do not have any leftover guest memory that has not
been zeroed out.

The previous change "hv_netvsc: Switch the data path at the right time
during hibernation" adds the call of netvsc_vf_changed() upon
NETDEV_CHANGE, so it's necessary to avoid the duplicate call and message
when the VF is brought UP or DOWN.

<title>hv_netvsc: add support for vlans in AF_PACKET mode</title>
<updated>2020-07-23T00:58:15+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:fdd8fac47ce67bae17feed9b74b3505e432fe561</id>
<content type='text'>
Vlan tagged packets are getting dropped when used with DPDK that uses
the AF_PACKET interface on a hyperV guest.

The packet layer uses the tpacket interface to communicate the vlans
information to the upper layers. On Rx path, these drivers can read the
vlan info from the tpacket header but on the Tx path, this information
is still within the packet frame and requires the paravirtual drivers to
push this back into the NDIS header which is then used by the host OS to
form the packet.

This transition from the packet frame to NDIS header is currently missing
hence causing the host OS to drop the all vlan tagged packets sent by
the drivers that use AF_PACKET (ETH_P_ALL) such as DPDK.

Here is an overview of the changes in the vlan header in the packet path:

The RX path (userspace handles everything):
  1. RX VLAN packet is stripped by HOST OS and placed in NDIS header
  2. Guest Kernel RX hv_netvsc packets and moves VLAN info from NDIS
     header into kernel SKB
  3. Kernel shares packets with user space application with PACKET_MMAP.
     The SKB VLAN info is copied to tpacket layer and indication set
     TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID.
  4. The user space application will re-insert the VLAN info into the frame

The TX path:
  1. The user space application has the VLAN info in the frame.
  2. Guest kernel gets packets from the application with PACKET_MMAP.
  3. The kernel later sends the frame to the hv_netvsc driver. The only way
     to send VLANs is when the SKB is setup &amp; the VLAN is stripped from the
     frame.
  4. TX VLAN is re-inserted by HOST OS based on the NDIS header. If it sees
     a VLAN in the frame the packet is dropped.

<title>hv_netvsc: Add XDP support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:351e1581395fcc7fb952bbd7dda01238f69968fd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support of XDP in native mode for hv_netvsc driver, and
transparently sets the XDP program on the associated VF NIC as well.

Setting / unsetting XDP program on synthetic NIC (netvsc) propagates to
VF NIC automatically. Setting / unsetting XDP program on VF NIC directly
is not recommended, also not propagated to synthetic NIC, and may be
overwritten by setting of synthetic NIC.

The Azure/Hyper-V synthetic NIC receive buffer doesn't provide headroom
for XDP. We thought about re-use the RNDIS header space, but it's too
small. So we decided to copy the packets to a page buffer for XDP. And,
most of our VMs on Azure have Accelerated  Network (SRIOV) enabled, so
most of the packets run on VF NIC. The synthetic NIC is considered as a
fallback data-path. So the data copy on netvsc won't impact performance
significantly.

XDP program cannot run with LRO (RSC) enabled, so you need to disable LRO
before running XDP:
        ethtool -K eth0 lro off

XDP actions not yet supported:
        XDP_REDIRECT

In existing code, the receive indirection table, rx_table, is in
struct rndis_device, which will be reset when changing MTU, ringparam,
etc. User configured receive indirection table values will be lost.

To fix this, move rx_table to struct net_device_context, and check
netif_is_rxfh_configured(), so rx_table will be set to default only
if no user configured value.
