<title>xen/grant-table: Use put_page instead of free_page</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3ac7292a25db1c607a50752055a18aba32ac2176</id>
<content type='text'>
The page given to gnttab_end_foreign_access() to free could be a
compound page so use put_page() instead of free_page() since it can
handle both compound and single pages correctly.

This bug was discovered when migrating a Xen VM with several VIFs and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled. It hits a BUG usually after fewer than 10
iterations. All netfront devices disconnect from the backend during a
suspend/resume and this will call gnttab_end_foreign_access() if a
netfront queue has an outstanding skb. The mismatch between calling
get_page() and free_page() on a compound page causes a reference
counting error which is detected when DEBUG_VM is enabled.

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;
type _origtype;
identifier _origarg;
@@

 void
-_callback(_origtype _origarg)
+_callback(struct timer_list *unused)

<title>xen: select grant interface version</title>

<content type='text'>
Grant v2 will be needed in cases where a frame number in the grant
table can exceed 32 bits. For PV guests this is a host feature, while
for HVM guests this is a guest feature.

So select grant v2 in case frame numbers can be larger than 32 bits
and grant v1 else.

For testing purposes add a way to specify the grant interface version
via a boot parameter.

Instead of having multiple variables with constants like
grant_table_version or grefs_per_grant_frame add those to struct
gnttab_ops and access them just via the gnttab_interface pointer.

As there is currently no user for sub-page grants or transient grants
remove that functionality. This at once makes it possible to switch
from grant v2 to grant v1 without restrictions, as there is no loss of
functionality other than the limited frame number width related to
the switch.

<id>urn:sha1:b988b8ff072ab04abd62d10d3fe44ec544be8a7d</id>
<content type='text'>
The grant v2 support was removed from the kernel with
commit 438b33c7145ca8a5131a30c36d8f59bce119a19a ("xen/grant-table:
remove support for V2 tables") as the higher memory footprint of v2
grants resulted in less grants being possible for a kernel compared
to the v1 grant interface.

As machines with more than 16TB of memory are expected to be more
common in the near future support of grant v2 is mandatory in order
to be able to run a Xen pv domain at any memory location.

So re-add grant v2 support basically by reverting above commit.

log a message when we enter this situation:
1) we already allocated the max number of available grants from hypervisor
and
2) we still need more (but the request fails because of 1)).

Sometimes the lack of grants causes IO hangs in xen_blkfront devices.
Adding this log would help debuging.

Like PV guests, PVH does not have PCI devices and therefore cannot
use MMIO space to store grants. Instead it balloons out memory and
keeps grants there.
