[ Upstream commit 93aa4792c3908eac87ddd368ee0fe0564148232b ]

When the ring buffer is almost full due to RX completion messages, a
TX packet may reach the "low watermark" and cause the queue stopped.
If the TX completion arrives earlier than queue stopping, the wakeup
may be missed.

This patch moves the check for the last pending packet to cover both
EAGAIN and success cases, so the queue will be reliably waked up when
necessary.

[ Upstream commit 1b704c4a1ba95574832e730f23817b651db2aa59 ]

After queue stopped, the wakeup mechanism may wake it up again
when ring buffer usage is lower than a threshold. This may cause
send path panic on NULL pointer when we stopped all tx queues in
netvsc_detach and start removing the netvsc device.

This patch fix it by adding a tx_disable flag to prevent unwanted
queue wakeup.

[ Upstream commit 17d91256898402daf4425cc541ac9cbf64574d9a ]

Changing mtu, channels, or buffer sizes ops call to netvsc_attach(),
rndis_set_subchannel(), which always reset the hash key to default
value. That will override hash key changed previously. This patch
fixes the problem by save the hash key, then restore it when we re-
add the netvsc device.

When netvsc device is removed it can call reschedule in RCU context.
This happens because canceling the subchannel setup work could (in theory)
cause a reschedule when manipulating the timer.

To reproduce, run with lockdep enabled kernel and unbind
a network device from hv_netvsc (via sysfs).

Resolve this by getting RTNL earlier. This is safe because the subchannel
work queue does trylock on RTNL and will detect the race.

Resolve this by getting RTNL earlier. This is safe because the subchannel
work queue does trylock on RTNL and will detect the race.

This patch fixes the race between netvsc_probe() and
rndis_set_subchannel(), which can cause a deadlock.

These are the related 3 paths which show the deadlock:

path #1:
    Workqueue: hv_vmbus_con vmbus_onmessage_work [hv_vmbus]
    Call Trace:
     schedule
     schedule_preempt_disabled
     __mutex_lock
     __device_attach
     bus_probe_device
     device_add
     vmbus_device_register
     vmbus_onoffer
     vmbus_onmessage_work
     process_one_work
     worker_thread
     kthread
     ret_from_fork

path #2:
    schedule
     schedule_preempt_disabled
     __mutex_lock
     netvsc_probe
     vmbus_probe
     really_probe
     __driver_attach
     bus_for_each_dev
     driver_attach_async
     async_run_entry_fn
     process_one_work
     worker_thread
     kthread
     ret_from_fork

path #3:
    Workqueue: events netvsc_subchan_work [hv_netvsc]
    Call Trace:
     schedule
     rndis_set_subchannel
     netvsc_subchan_work
     process_one_work
     worker_thread
     kthread
     ret_from_fork

Before path #1 finishes, path #2 can start to run, because just before
the "bus_probe_device(dev);" in device_add() in path #1, there is a line
"object_uevent(&amp;dev-&gt;kobj, KOBJ_ADD);", so systemd-udevd can
immediately try to load hv_netvsc and hence path #2 can start to run.

Next, path #2 offloads the subchannal's initialization to a workqueue,
i.e. path #3, so we can end up in a deadlock situation like this:

Path #2 gets the device lock, and is trying to get the rtnl lock;
Path #3 gets the rtnl lock and is waiting for all the subchannel messages
to be processed;
Path #1 is trying to get the device lock, but since #2 is not releasing
the device lock, path #1 has to sleep; since the VMBus messages are
processed one by one, this means the sub-channel messages can't be
procedded, so #3 has to sleep with the rtnl lock held, and finally #2
has to sleep... Now all the 3 paths are sleeping and we hit the deadlock.

With the patch, we can make sure #2 gets both the device lock and the
rtnl lock together, gets its job done, and releases the locks, so #1
and #3 will not be blocked for ever.
