hvc/xen: Check console connection flag

2026-04-10T09:06:17+00:00

When the console out buffer is filled, __write_console() will return 0 as it cannot send any data. domU_write_console() will then spin in `while (len)` as len doesn't decrement until xenconsoled attaches. This would block a domU and nullify the parallelism of Hyperlaunch until dom0 userspace starts xenconsoled, which empties the buffer. Xen 4.21 added a connection field to the xen console page. This is set to XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED (1) when a domain is built, and xenconsoled will set it to XENCONSOLE_CONNECTED (0) when it connects. Update the hvc_xen driver to check the field. When the field is disconnected, drop the write with -ENOTCONN. We only drop the write when the field is XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED (1) to try for maximum compatibility. The Xen toolstack has historically zero initialized the console, so it should see XENCONSOLE_CONNECTED (0) by default. If an implemenation used uninitialized memory, only checking for XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED could have the lowest chance of not connecting. This lets the hyperlaunched domU boot without stalling. Once dom0 starts xenconsoled, xl console can be used to access the domU's hvc0. Paritally sync console.h from xen.git to bring in the new field.

usb: Add Xen pvUSB protocol description

2021-12-13T13:58:31+00:00

Add the definition of pvUSB protocol used between the pvUSB frontend in a Xen domU and the pvUSB backend in a Xen driver domain (usually Dom0). This header was originally provided by Fujitsu for Xen based on Linux 2.6.18. Changes are: - adapt to Linux kernel style guide - use Xen namespace - add lots of comments - don't use kernel internal defines Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211123132048.5335-2-jgross@suse.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen: fix wrong SPDX headers of Xen related headers

2021-11-02T12:45:44+00:00

Commit b24413180f5600 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license") was meant to do a tree-wide cleanup for files without any license information by adding a SPDX GPL-2.0 line to them. Unfortunately this was applied even to several Xen-related headers which have been originally under the MIT license, but obviously have been copied to the Linux tree from the Xen project without keeping the license boiler plate as required. Correct that by changing the license of those files back to "MIT". Some files still contain the MIT license text. Replace that by the related SPDX line.

treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft

2021-05-07T07:26:34+00:00

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any of these in source files." I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one. Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups. It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it. If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.
