vhost: fail early when __vhost_add_used() fails

2025-08-28T14:25:59+00:00

[ 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.

vhost: Add smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify()

2024-04-17T09:18:27+00:00

commit df9ace7647d4123209395bb9967e998d5758c645 upstream. A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_enable_notify(), inspired 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. /home/gavin/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64 \ -accel kvm -machine virt,gic-version=host -cpu host \ -smp maxcpus=1,cpus=1,sockets=1,clusters=1,cores=1,threads=1 \ -m 4096M,slots=16,maxmem=64G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=4096M \ : \ -netdev tap,id=vnet0,vhost=true \ -device virtio-net-pci,bus=pcie.8,netdev=vnet0,mac=52:54:00:f1:26:b0 : 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!

vhost: Allow null msg.size on VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE

2023-11-02T08:35:23+00:00

commit ca50ec377c2e94b0a9f8735de2856cd0f13beab4 upstream. Commit e2ae38cf3d91 ("vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries") Forbade vhost iotlb msg with null size to prevent entries with size = start = 0 and last = ULONG_MAX to end up in the iotlb. Then commit 95932ab2ea07 ("vhost: allow batching hint without size") only applied the check for VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE and VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE message types to fix a regression observed with batching hit. Still, the introduction of that check introduced a regression for some users attempting to invalidate the whole ULONG_MAX range by setting the size to 0. This is the case with qemu/smmuv3/vhost integration which does not work anymore. It Looks safe to partially revert the original commit and allow VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE messages with null size. vhost_iotlb_del_range() will compute a correct end iova. Same for vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap().

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ] READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret...

vhost/net: Clear the pending messages when the backend is removed

2023-02-09T10:28:03+00:00

[ 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.

vhost: fix range used in translate_desc()

2023-01-12T11:02:07+00:00

[ 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.
