commit d062463edf1770427dc2d637df4088df4835aa47 upstream.

Hyper-V may offer a non latency sensitive device with subchannels without
monitor bit enabled. The decision is entirely on the Hyper-V host not
configurable within guest.

When a device has subchannels, also signal events for the subchannel
if its monitor bit is disabled.

This patch also removes the memory barrier when monitor bit is enabled
as it is not necessary. The memory barrier is only needed between
setting up interrupt mask and calling vmbus_set_event() when monitor
bit is disabled.

commit b15b7d2a1b09ef5428a8db260251897405a19496 upstream.

Remove the logic to set interrupt mask by default in uio_hv_generic
driver as the interrupt mask value is supposed to be controlled
completely by the user space. If the mask bit gets changed
by the driver, concurrently with user mode operating on the ring,
the mask bit may be set when it is supposed to be clear, and the
user-mode driver will miss an interrupt which will cause a hang.

For eg- when the driver sets inbound ring buffer interrupt mask to 1,
the host does not interrupt the guest on the UIO VMBus channel.
However, setting the mask does not prevent the host from putting a
message in the inbound ring buffer. So let’s assume that happens,
the host puts a message into the ring buffer but does not interrupt.

Subsequently, the user space code in the guest sets the inbound ring
buffer interrupt mask to 0, saying “Hey, I’m ready for interrupts”.
User space code then calls pread() to wait for an interrupt.
Then one of two things happens:

* The host never sends another message. So the pread() waits forever.
* The host does send another message. But because there’s already a
  message in the ring buffer, it doesn’t generate an interrupt.
  This is the correct behavior, because the host should only send an
  interrupt when the inbound ring buffer transitions from empty to
  not-empty. Adding an additional message to a ring buffer that is not
  empty is not supposed to generate an interrupt on the guest.
  Since the guest is waiting in pread() and not removing messages from
  the ring buffer, the pread() waits forever.

This could be easily reproduced in hv_fcopy_uio_daemon if we delay
setting interrupt mask to 0.

Similarly if hv_uio_channel_cb() sets the interrupt_mask to 1,
there’s a race condition. Once user space empties the inbound ring
buffer, but before user space sets interrupt_mask to 0, the host could
put another message in the ring buffer but it wouldn’t interrupt.
Then the next pread() would hang.

Fix these by removing all instances where interrupt_mask is changed,
while keeping the one in set_event() unchanged to enable userspace
control the interrupt mask by writing 0/1 to /dev/uioX.

Memory allocated by 'vmbus_alloc_ring()' at the beginning of the probe
function is never freed in the error handling path.

Add the missing 'vmbus_free_ring()' call.

commit 6fd28941447bf2c8ca0f26fda612a1cabc41663f upstream.

Rescind offer handling relies on rescind callbacks for some of the
resources cleanup, if they are registered. It does not unregister
vmbus device for the primary channel closure, when callback is
registered. Without it, next onoffer does not come, rescind flag
remains set and device goes to unusable state.

Add logic to unregister vmbus for the primary channel in rescind callback
to ensure channel removal and relid release, and to ensure that next
onoffer can be received and handled properly.

commit 6fd28941447bf2c8ca0f26fda612a1cabc41663f upstream.

Rescind offer handling relies on rescind callbacks for some of the
resources cleanup, if they are registered. It does not unregister
vmbus device for the primary channel closure, when callback is
registered. Without it, next onoffer does not come, rescind flag
remains set and device goes to unusable state.

Add logic to unregister vmbus for the primary channel in rescind callback
to ensure channel removal and relid release, and to ensure that next
onoffer can be received and handled properly.

commit fb1adbd7e50f3d2de56d0a2bb0700e2e819a329e upstream.

For primary VM Bus channels, primary_channel pointer is always NULL. This
pointer is valid only for the secondary channels. Also, rescind callback
is meant for primary channels only.

Fix NULL pointer dereference by retrieving the device_obj from the parent
for the primary channel.

commit 0c9ae0b8605078eafc3bea053cc78791e97ba2e2 upstream.

core-1				core-2
-------------------------------------------------------
uio_unregister_device		uio_open
				idev = idr_find()
device_unregister(&amp;idev-&gt;dev)
put_device(&amp;idev-&gt;dev)
uio_device_release
				get_device(&amp;idev-&gt;dev)
kfree(idev)
uio_free_minor(minor)
				uio_release
				put_device(&amp;idev-&gt;dev)
				kfree(idev)
-------------------------------------------------------

In the core-1 uio_unregister_device(), the device_unregister will kfree
idev when the idev-&gt;dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1
device_unregister, put_device and before doing kfree, the core-2 may
get_device. Then:
1. After core-1 kfree idev, the core-2 will do use-after-free for idev.
2. When core-2 do uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double
   freed.

To address this issue, we can get idev atomic &amp; inc idev reference with
minor_lock.
