[ Upstream commit 15504b1163007bbfbd9a63460d5c14737c16e96d ]

Let's move the removal of the page from the balloon list into the single
caller, to remove the dependency on the PG_isolated flag and clarify
locking requirements.

Note that for now, balloon_page_delete() was used on two paths:

(1) Removing a page from the balloon for deflation through
    balloon_page_list_dequeue()
(2) Removing an isolated page from the balloon for migration in the
    per-driver migration handlers. Isolated pages were already removed from
    the balloon list during isolation.

So instead of relying on the flag, we can just distinguish both cases
directly and handle it accordingly in the caller.

We'll shuffle the operations a bit such that they logically make more
sense (e.g., remove from the list before clearing flags).

In balloon migration functions we can now move the balloon_page_finalize()
out of the balloon lock and perform the finalization just before dropping
the balloon reference.

Document that the page lock is currently required when modifying the
movability aspects of a page; hopefully we can soon decouple this from the
page lock.

virtio_vdpa_set_status() is declared as returning void, but it used
"return vdpa_set_status()" Since vdpa_set_status() also returns
void, the return statement is unnecessary and misleading.
Remove it.

<title>virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN</title>

[ Upstream commit 2e2f925fe737576df2373931c95e1a2b66efdfef ]

syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred:

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in virtqueue_disable_cb / virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed

write to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by task 3288 on cpu 0:

==================================================================

When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.

Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.

present in the list, free_irq() is called for the same vector. That
causes following splat:

commit 310227f42882c52356b523e2f4e11690eebcd2ab upstream.

Currently, we don't reenable the config if freezing the device failed.

For example, virtio-mem currently doesn't support suspend+resume, and
trying to freeze the device will always fail. Afterwards, the device
will no longer respond to resize requests, because it won't get notified
about config changes.

Let's fix this by re-enabling the config if freezing fails.

commit 061b39fdfe7fd98946e67637213bcbb10a318cca upstream.

The function vp_modern_map_capability() takes the size parameter,
which corresponds to the size of virtio_pci_common_cfg. As a result,
this indicates the size of memory area to map.

Now the size is the size of virtio_pci_common_cfg, but some feature(such
as the _F_RING_RESET) needs the virtio_pci_modern_common_cfg, so this
commit changes the size to the size of virtio_pci_modern_common_cfg.

commit fab7f259227b8f70aa6d54e1de1a1f5f4729041c upstream.

With the recent removal of vm_dev from devres its memory is only freed
via the callback virtio_mmio_release_dev. However, this only takes
effect after device_add is called by register_virtio_device. Until then
it's an unmanaged resource and must be explicitly freed on error exit.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

commit 07622bd415639e9709579f400afd19e7e9866e5e upstream.

The deflation request to the target, which isn't unaligned to the
guest page size causes endless deflation and inflation actions. For
example, we receive the flooding QMP events for the changes on memory
balloon's size after a deflation request to the unaligned target is
sent for the ARM64 guest, where we have 64KB base page size.

  &lt;The similar QMP events repeat&gt;

Fix it by aligning the target up to the guest page size, 64KB in this
specific case. With this applied, no flooding QMP events are observed
and the memory balloon's size can be stablizied to 0x3ffe0000 soon
after the deflation request is sent.

<title>virtio_ring: fix avail_wrap_counter in virtqueue_add_packed</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ad8900dd8a568288cf6e332ffd4f11b2e74b17f4</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1acfe2c1225899eab5ab724c91b7e1eb2881b9ab ]

In current packed virtqueue implementation, the avail_wrap_counter won't
flip, in the case when the driver supplies a descriptor chain with a
length equals to the queue size; total_sg == vq-&gt;packed.vring.num.

Let’s assume the following situation:
vq-&gt;packed.vring.num=4
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 0

Then the driver adds a descriptor chain containing 4 descriptors.

We expect the following result with avail_wrap_counter flipped:
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 1

But, the current implementation gives the following result:
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 0

To reproduce the bug, you can set a packed queue size as small as
possible, so that the driver is more likely to provide a descriptor
chain with a length equal to the packed queue size. For example, in
qemu run following commands:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-nographic \
-kernel "path/to/kernel_image" \
-m 1G \
-drive file="path/to/rootfs",if=none,id=disk \
-device virtio-blk,drive=disk \
-drive file="path/to/disk_image",if=none,id=rwdisk \
-device virtio-blk,drive=rwdisk,packed=on,queue-size=4,\
indirect_desc=off \
-append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/vda rw init=/bin/bash"

Inside the VM, create a directory and mount the rwdisk device on it. The
rwdisk will hang and mount operation will not complete.

This commit fixes the wrap counter error by flipping the
packed.avail_wrap_counter, when start of descriptor chain equals to the
end of descriptor chain (head == i).
