virtio: fail adding buffer on broken queues.

2014-03-13T00:57:57+00:00

Heinz points out that adding buffers to a broken virtqueue (which should "never happen") still works. Failing allows drivers to detect and complain about broken devices. Now drivers are robust, we can add this extra check. Reported-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

tools/virtio: fix missing kmemleak_ignore symbol

2014-03-13T00:53:25+00:00

In commit bb478d8b167 virtio_ring: plug kmemleak false positive, kmemleak_ignore was introduced. This broke compilation of virtio_test: cc -g -O2 -Wall -I. -I ../../usr/include/ -Wno-pointer-sign -fno-strict-overflow -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -MMD -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -c -o virtio_ring.o ../../drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c ../../drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c: In function ‘vring_add_indirect’: ../../drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:177:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘kmemleak_ignore’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] kmemleak_ignore(desc); ^ cc virtio_test.o virtio_ring.o -o virtio_test virtio_ring.o: In function `vring_add_indirect': tools/virtio/../../drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:177: undefined reference to `kmemleak_ignore' Add a dummy header for tools/virtio, and add #incldue to drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c so it is picked up by the userspace tools.

virtio_ring: adapt to notify() returning bool

2013-11-05T10:51:08+00:00

Correct if statement to check for bool returned by notify() (introduced in 5b1bf7cb673a). Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_ring: add new function virtqueue_is_broken()

2013-10-29T00:58:17+00:00

Add new function virtqueue_is_broken(). Callers of virtqueue_get_buf() should check for a broken queue. Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_ring: let virtqueue_{kick()/notify()} return a bool

2013-10-29T00:58:12+00:00

virtqueue_{kick()/notify()} should exploit the new host notification API. If the notify call returned with a negative value the host kick failed (e.g. a kick triggered after a device was hot-unplugged). In this case the virtqueue is set to 'broken' and false is returned, otherwise true. Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_ring: change host notification API

2013-10-29T00:58:11+00:00

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in the virtqueue of a particular virtio device. Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context where the kick is triggered. This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed. Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

2013-07-10T01:24:39+00:00

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

virtio: support unlocked queue poll

2013-07-09T19:45:37+00:00

This adds a way to check ring empty state after enable_cb outside any locks. Will be used by virtio_net. Note: there's room for more optimization: caller is likely to have a memory barrier already, which means we might be able to get rid of a barrier here. Deferring this optimization until we do some benchmarking. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
