[ Upstream commit b4ba1207d45adaafa2982c035898b36af2d3e518 ]

This patch fails vhost_add_used_n() early when __vhost_add_used()
fails to make sure used idx is not updated with stale used ring
information.

<title>vhost: Add smp_rmb() in vhost_vq_avail_empty()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a75a785dbe5d05633f3568cd062f19fe853b2af6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 22e1992cf7b034db5325660e98c41ca5afa5f519 upstream.

A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_vq_avail_empty(), spotted by
Will. Otherwise, it's not ensured the available ring entries pushed
by guest can be observed by vhost in time, leading to stale available
ring entries fetched by vhost in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by
Yihuang Yu on NVidia's grace-hopper (ARM64) platform.

   :
  guest# netperf -H 10.26.1.81 -l 60 -C -c -t UDP_STREAM
  virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head!

Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_vq_avail_empty(). When tx_can_batch()
returns true, it means there's still pending tx buffers. Since it might
read indices, so it still can bypass the smp_rmb() in vhost_get_vq_desc().
Note that it should be safe until vq-&gt;avail_idx is changed by commit
275bf960ac697 ("vhost: better detection of available buffers").

Fixes: 275bf960ac69 ("vhost: better detection of available buffers")

[ Upstream commit 9526f9a2b762af16be94a72aca5d65c677d28f50 ]

When the vhost iotlb is used along with a guest virtual iommu
and the guest gets rebooted, some MISS messages may have been
recorded just before the reboot and spuriously executed by
the virtual iommu after the reboot.

As vhost does not have any explicit reset user API,
VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND looks a reasonable point where to clear
the pending messages, in case the backend is removed.

Export vhost_clear_msg() and call it in vhost_net_set_backend()
when fd == -1.

[ Upstream commit 98047313cdb46828093894d0ac8b1183b8b317f9 ]

vhost_iotlb_itree_first() requires `start` and `last` parameters
to search for a mapping that overlaps the range.

In translate_desc() we cyclically call vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
incrementing `addr` by the amount already translated, so rightly
we move the `start` parameter passed to vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
but we should hold the `last` parameter constant.

Let's fix it by saving the `last` parameter value before incrementing
`addr` in the loop.

[ Upstream commit beb691e69f4dec7bfe8b81b509848acfd1f0dbf9 ]

vhost_reset_is_le() is vhost_init_is_le(), and in the case of
cross-endian legacy, vhost_init_is_le() depends on vq-&gt;user_be.

vq-&gt;user_be is set by vhost_disable_cross_endian().

But in vhost_vq_reset(), we have:

    vhost_reset_is_le(vq);
    vhost_disable_cross_endian(vq);

And so user_be is used before being set.

To fix that, reverse the lines order as there is no other dependency
between them.

This adds a helper check if a vq has been setup. The next patches
will use this when we move the vhost scsi cmd preallocation from per
session to per vq. In the per vq case, we only want to allocate cmds
for vqs that have actually been setup and not for all the possible
vqs.
