hv_netvsc: use kmap_local_page in netvsc_copy_to_send_buf

2026-06-09T11:16:30+00:00

netvsc_copy_to_send_buf() copies page buffer entries into the VMBus send buffer using phys_to_virt() on the entry PFN. Entries for the RNDIS header and the skb linear data come from kmalloc'd memory and are always in the kernel direct map, but entries for skb fragments reference page cache or user pages, which on 32-bit x86 with CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y can live above the LOWMEM boundary. For such a page phys_to_virt() returns an address outside the direct map and the subsequent memcpy() faults on the transmit softirq path, which is fatal. Map the pages with kmap_local_page() instead, handling two properties of the page buffer entries: - pb[i].pfn is a Hyper-V PFN at HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE (4K) granularity, not a native PFN. Reconstruct the physical address first and derive the native page from it, so the mapping stays correct where PAGE_SIZE > HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE (e.g. arm64 with 64K pages). - Since commit 41a6328b2c55 ("hv_netvsc: Preserve contiguous PFN grouping in the page buffer array"), an entry describes a full physically contiguous fragment and pb[i].len can exceed PAGE_SIZE, while kmap_local_page() maps a single page. Copy page by page, splitting at native page boundaries. The copy path only handles packets smaller than the send section size (6144 bytes by default); larger packets take the cp_partial path where only the RNDIS header is copied. So entries here are bounded by the section size and a copy is split at most once on 4K-page systems. On !CONFIG_HIGHMEM configs kmap_local_page() folds to page_address() and no mapping work is added.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

net: hv_netvsc: fix loss of early receive events from host during channel open.

2025-08-27T01:15:19+00:00

The hv_netvsc driver currently enables NAPI after opening the primary and subchannels. This ordering creates a race: if the Hyper-V host places data in the host -> guest ring buffer and signals the channel before napi_enable() has been called, the channel callback will run but napi_schedule_prep() will return false. As a result, the NAPI poller never gets scheduled, the data in the ring buffer is not consumed, and the receive queue may remain permanently stuck until another interrupt happens to arrive. Fix this by enabling NAPI and registering it with the RX/TX queues before vmbus channel is opened. This guarantees that any early host signal after open will correctly trigger NAPI scheduling and the ring buffer will be drained.

hv_netvsc: Remove rmsg_pgcnt

2025-05-15T02:45:24+00:00

init_page_array() now always creates a single page buffer array entry for the rndis message, even if the rndis message crosses a page boundary. As such, the number of page buffer array entries used for the rndis message must no longer be tracked -- it is always just 1. Remove the rmsg_pgcnt field and use "1" where the value is needed.

hv_netvsc: Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send VMBus messages

2025-05-15T02:45:23+00:00

netvsc currently uses vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() to send VMBus messages. This function creates a series of GPA ranges, each of which contains a single PFN. However, if the rndis header in the VMBus message crosses a page boundary, the netvsc protocol with the host requires that both PFNs for the rndis header must be in a single "GPA range" data structure, which isn't possible with vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). As the first step in fixing this, add a new function netvsc_build_mpb_array() to build a VMBus message with multiple GPA ranges, each of which may contain multiple PFNs. Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send this VMBus message to the host. There's no functional change since higher levels of netvsc don't maintain or propagate knowledge of contiguous PFNs. Based on its input, netvsc_build_mpb_array() still produces a separate GPA range for each PFN and the behavior is the same as with vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). But the groundwork is laid for a subsequent patch to provide the necessary grouping.

hv_netvsc: Don't free decrypted memory

2024-04-10T21:33:32+00:00

In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared) memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security issues. The netvsc driver could free decrypted/shared pages if set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the gpadl to decide whether to free the memory.

hv_netvsc: Fix race condition between netvsc_probe and netvsc_remove

2024-02-01T16:33:43+00:00

In commit ac5047671758 ("hv_netvsc: Disable NAPI before closing the VMBus channel"), napi_disable was getting called for all channels, including all subchannels without confirming if they are enabled or not. This caused hv_netvsc getting hung at napi_disable, when netvsc_probe() has finished running but nvdev->subchan_work has not started yet. netvsc_subchan_work() -> rndis_set_subchannel() has not created the sub-channels and because of that netvsc_sc_open() is not running. netvsc_remove() calls cancel_work_sync(&nvdev->subchan_work), for which netvsc_subchan_work did not run. netif_napi_add() sets the bit NAPI_STATE_SCHED because it ensures NAPI cannot be scheduled. Then netvsc_sc_open() -> napi_enable will clear the NAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit, so it can be scheduled. napi_disable() does the opposite. Now during netvsc_device_remove(), when napi_disable is called for those subchannels, napi_disable gets stuck on infinite msleep. This fix addresses this problem by ensuring that napi_disable() is not getting called for non-enabled NAPI struct. But netif_napi_del() is still necessary for these non-enabled NAPI struct for cleanup purpose.
