xen-scsiback: don't "handle" error by BUG()

2021-02-23T12:58:14+00:00

commit 7c77474b2d22176d2bfb592ec74e0f2cb71352c9 upstream.

In particular -ENOMEM may come back here, from set_foreign_p2m_mapping().
Don't make problems worse, the more that handling elsewhere (together
with map's status fields now indicating whether a mapping wasn't even
attempted, and hence has to be considered failed) doesn't require this
odd way of dealing with errors.

Xen/gntdev: correct error checking in gntdev_map_grant_pages()

2021-02-23T12:58:14+00:00

commit ebee0eab08594b2bd5db716288a4f1ae5936e9bc upstream.

Failure of the kernel part of the mapping operation should also be
indicated as an error to the caller, or else it may assume the
respective kernel VA is okay to access.

Furthermore gnttab_map_refs() failing still requires recording
successfully mapped handles, so they can be unmapped subsequently. This
in turn requires there to be a way to tell full hypercall failure from
partial success - preset map_op status fields such that they won't
"happen" to look as if the operation succeeded.

Also again use GNTST_okay instead of implying its value (zero).

Xen/gntdev: correct dev_bus_addr handling in gntdev_map_grant_pages()

2021-02-23T12:58:14+00:00

commit dbe5283605b3bc12ca45def09cc721a0a5c853a2 upstream.

We may not skip setting the field in the unmap structure when
GNTMAP_device_map is in use - such an unmap would fail to release the
respective resources (a page ref in the hypervisor). Otoh the field
doesn't need setting at all when GNTMAP_device_map is not in use.

To record the value for unmapping, we also better don't use our local
p2m: In particular after a subsequent change it may not have got updated
for all the batch elements. Instead it can simply be taken from the
respective map's results.

We can additionally avoid playing this game altogether for the kernel
part of the mappings in (x86) PV mode.

xenbus/xenbus_backend: Disallow pending watch messages

2020-12-29T12:42:45+00:00

commit 9996bd494794a2fe393e97e7a982388c6249aa76 upstream.

'xenbus_backend' watches 'state' of devices, which is writable by
guests.  Hence, if guests intensively updates it, dom0 will have lots of
pending events that exhausting memory of dom0.  In other words, guests
can trigger dom0 memory pressure.  This is known as XSA-349.  However,
the watch callback of it, 'frontend_changed()', reads only 'state', so
doesn't need to have the pending events.

To avoid the problem, this commit disallows pending watch messages for
'xenbus_backend' using the 'will_handle()' watch callback.

xen/xenbus: Count pending messages for each watch

2020-12-29T12:42:45+00:00

commit 3dc86ca6b4c8cfcba9da7996189d1b5a358a94fc upstream.

This commit adds a counter of pending messages for each watch in the
struct.  It is used to skip unnecessary pending messages lookup in
'unregister_xenbus_watch()'.  It could also be used in 'will_handle'
callback.

xen/xenbus: Add 'will_handle' callback support in xenbus_watch_path()

commit 2e85d32b1c865bec703ce0c962221a5e955c52c2 upstream.

Some code does not directly make 'xenbus_watch' object and call
'register_xenbus_watch()' but use 'xenbus_watch_path()' instead.  This
commit adds support of 'will_handle' callback in the
'xenbus_watch_path()' and it's wrapper, 'xenbus_watch_pathfmt()'.

xen/xenbus: Allow watches discard events before queueing

2020-12-29T12:42:45+00:00

commit fed1755b118147721f2c87b37b9d66e62c39b668 upstream.

If handling logics of watch events are slower than the events enqueue
logic and the events can be created from the guests, the guests could
trigger memory pressure by intensively inducing the events, because it
will create a huge number of pending events that exhausting the memory.

Fortunately, some watch events could be ignored, depending on its
handler callback.  For example, if the callback has interest in only one
single path, the watch wouldn't want multiple pending events.  Or, some
watches could ignore events to same path.

To let such watches to volutarily help avoiding the memory pressure
situation, this commit introduces new watch callback, 'will_handle'.  If
it is not NULL, it will be called for each new event just before
enqueuing it.  Then, if the callback returns false, the event will be
discarded.  No watch is using the callback for now, though.

xen/events: block rogue events for some time

2020-11-18T17:25:03+00:00

commit 5f7f77400ab5b357b5fdb7122c3442239672186c upstream.

In order to avoid high dom0 load due to rogue guests sending events at
high frequency, block those events in case there was no action needed
in dom0 to handle the events.

This is done by adding a per-event counter, which set to zero in case
an EOI without the XEN_EOI_FLAG_SPURIOUS is received from a backend
driver, and incremented when this flag has been set. In case the
counter is 2 or higher delay the EOI by 1 << (cnt - 2) jiffies, but
not more than 1 second.

In order not to waste memory shorten the per-event refcnt to two bytes
(it should normally never exceed a value of 2). Add an overflow check
to evtchn_get() to make sure the 2 bytes really won't overflow.

xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events

2020-11-18T17:25:03+00:00

commit e99502f76271d6bc4e374fe368c50c67a1fd3070 upstream.

In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might
happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in
dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result.

In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some
time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a
worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in.

The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable
via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the
maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen
after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an
only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests
performed an event storm).

How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another
parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the
value was chosen after testing with different delay values).

This is part of XSA-332.
