commit c9a6820fc0da2603be3054ee7590eb9f350508a7 upstream.

Instead of multiplying by page order, virtio balloon divided by page
order. The result is that it can return 0 if there are a bit less
than MAX_ORDER - 1 pages in use, and then shrinker scan won't be called.

<title>virtio_ring: fix return code on DMA mapping fails</title>

commit f7728002c1c7bfa787b276a31c3ef458739b8e7c upstream.

Commit 780bc7903a32 ("virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs")  makes
virtqueue_add() return -EIO when we fail to map our I/O buffers. This is
a very realistic scenario for guests with encrypted memory, as swiotlb
may run out of space, depending on it's size and the I/O load.

The virtio-blk driver interprets -EIO form virtqueue_add() as an IO
error, despite the fact that swiotlb full is in absence of bugs a
recoverable condition.

Let us change the return code to -ENOMEM, and make the block layer
recover form these failures when virtio-blk encounters the condition
described above.

<title>virtio_ring: fix stalls for packed rings</title>

commit 40ce7919d8730f5936da2bc8a21b46bd07db6411 upstream.

When VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX is negotiated, virtio devices can
use virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed to reduce the number of device
interrupts.  At the moment, this is the case for virtio-net when the
napi_tx module parameter is set to false.

In this case, the virtio driver selects an event offset and expects that
the device will send a notification when rolling over the event offset
in the ring.  However, if this roll-over happens before the event
suppression structure update, the notification won't be sent. To address
this race condition the driver needs to check wether the device rolled
over the offset after updating the event suppression structure.

With VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED, the virtio driver did this by reading the
flags field of the descriptor at the specified offset.

Unfortunately, checking at the event offset isn't reliable: if
descriptors are chained (e.g. when INDIRECT is off) not all descriptors
are overwritten by the device, so it's possible that the device skipped
the specific descriptor driver is checking when writing out used
descriptors. If this happens, the driver won't detect the race condition
and will incorrectly expect the device to send a notification.

For virtio-net, the result will be a TX queue stall, with the
transmission getting blocked forever.

With the packed ring, it isn't easy to find a location which is
guaranteed to change upon the roll-over, except the next device
descriptor, as described in the spec:

        Writes of device and driver descriptors can generally be
        reordered, but each side (driver and device) are only required to
        poll (or test) a single location in memory: the next device descriptor after
        the one they processed previously, in circular order.

while this might be sub-optimal, let's do exactly this for now.

<title>virtio_ring: fix unmap of indirect descriptors</title>
<updated>2019-09-09T14:43:15+00:00</updated>

<id>cf8f1696709ad5bb3138ed8c771c2eb98950cd8a</id>
<content type='text'>
The function virtqueue_add_split() DMA-maps the scatterlist buffers. In
case a mapping error occurs the already mapped buffers must be unmapped.
This happens by jumping to the 'unmap_release' label.

In case of indirect descriptors the release is wrong and may leak kernel
memory. Because the implementation assumes that the head descriptor is
already mapped it starts iterating over the descriptor list starting
from the head descriptor. However for indirect descriptors the head
descriptor is never mapped in case of an error.

The fix is to initialize the start index with zero in case of indirect
descriptors and use the 'desc' pointer directly for iterating over the
descriptor chain.

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

Convert the virtio_balloon filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
