xen: make remove callback of xen driver void returned

2026-02-06T15:44:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7cffcade57a429667447c4f41d8414bbcf1b3aaa ] Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to its caller. This change is for xen bus based drivers.

tty: hvc_console: Call hvc_kick in hvc_write unconditionally

2025-09-19T14:29:58+00:00

commit cfd956dcb101aa3d25bac321fae923323a47c607 upstream. After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called. This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck occasionally.

hvc/xen: fix event channel handling for secondary consoles

2023-11-28T17:07:08+00:00

commit ef5dd8ec88ac11e8e353164407d55b73c988b369 upstream. The xencons_connect_backend() function allocates a local interdomain event channel with xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), then calls bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() to bind to that port# on the *remote* domain. That doesn't work very well: (qemu) device_add xen-console,id=con1,chardev=pty0 [ 44.323872] xenconsole console-1: 2 xenbus_dev_probe on device/console/1 [ 44.323995] xenconsole: probe of console-1 failed with error -2 Fix it to use bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi(), which does the right thing by just binding that *local* event channel to an irq. The backend will do the interdomain binding. This didn't affect the primary console because the setup for that is special — the toolstack allocates the guest event channel and the guest discovers it with HVMOP_get_param.

hvc/xen: fix error path in xen_hvc_init() to always register frontend driver

2023-11-28T17:07:08+00:00

commit 2704c9a5593f4a47620c12dad78838ca62b52f48 upstream. The xen_hvc_init() function should always register the frontend driver, even when there's no primary console — as there may be secondary consoles. (Qemu can always add secondary consoles, but only the toolstack can add the primary because it's special.)

hvc/xen: fix console unplug

2023-11-28T17:07:08+00:00

commit a30badfd7c13fc8763a9e10c5a12ba7f81515a55 upstream. On unplug of a Xen console, xencons_disconnect_backend() unconditionally calls free_irq() via unbind_from_irqhandler(), causing a warning of freeing an already-free IRQ: (qemu) device_del con1 [ 32.050919] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 32.050942] Trying to free already-free IRQ 33 [ 32.050990] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 51 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1895 __free_irq+0x1d4/0x330 It should be using evtchn_put() to tear down the event channel binding, and let the Linux IRQ side of it be handled by notifier_del_irq() through the HVC code. On which topic... xencons_disconnect_backend() should call hvc_remove() *first*, rather than tearing down the event channel and grant mapping while they are in use. And then the IRQ is guaranteed to be freed by the time it's torn down by evtchn_put(). Since evtchn_put() also closes the actual event channel, avoid calling xenbus_free_evtchn() except in the failure path where the IRQ was not successfully set up. However, calling hvc_remove() at the start of xencons_disconnect_backend() still isn't early enough. An unplug request is indicated by the backend setting its state to XenbusStateClosing, which triggers a notification to xencons_backend_changed(), which... does nothing except set its own frontend state directly to XenbusStateClosed without *actually* tearing down the HVC device or, you know, making sure it isn't actively in use. So the backend sees the guest frontend set its state to XenbusStateClosed and stops servicing the interrupt... and the guest spins for ever in the domU_write_console() function waiting for the ring to drain. Fix that one by calling hvc_remove() from xencons_backend_changed() before signalling to the backend that it's OK to proceed with the removal. Tested with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hvc1' while telling Qemu to remove the console device.

hvc/xen: prevent concurrent accesses to the shared ring

2023-03-30T10:49:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6214894f49a967c749ee6c07cb00f9cede748df4 ] The hvc machinery registers both a console and a tty device based on the hv ops provided by the specific implementation. Those two interfaces however have different locks, and there's no single locks that's shared between the tty and the console implementations, hence the driver needs to protect itself against concurrent accesses. Otherwise concurrent calls using the split interfaces are likely to corrupt the ring indexes, leaving the console unusable. Introduce a lock to xencons_info to serialize accesses to the shared ring. This is only required when using the shared memory console, concurrent accesses to the hypercall based console implementation are not an issue. Note the conditional logic in domU_read_console() is slightly modified so the notify_daemon() call can be done outside of the locked region: it's an hypercall and there's no need for it to be done with the lock held.

hvc/xen: lock console list traversal

2023-01-18T10:58:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit c0dccad87cf68fc6012aec7567e354353097ec1a ] The currently lockless access to the xen console list in vtermno_to_xencons() is incorrect, as additions and removals from the list can happen anytime, and as such the traversal of the list to get the private console data for a given termno needs to happen with the lock held. Note users that modify the list already do so with the lock taken. Adjust current lock takers to use the _irq{save,restore} helpers, since the context in which vtermno_to_xencons() is called can have interrupts disabled. Use the _irq{save,restore} set of helpers to switch the current callers to disable interrupts in the locked region. I haven't checked if existing users could instead use the _irq variant, as I think it's safer to use _irq{save,restore} upfront. While there switch from using list_for_each_entry_safe to list_for_each_entry: the current entry cursor won't be removed as part of the code in the loop body, so using the _safe variant is pointless.
