<content type='text'>
commit afc545da381ba0c651b2658966ac737032676f01 upstream.

This patch fixes an issue in the function xenbus_dev_probe(). In the
xenbus_dev_probe() function, within the if (err) branch at line 313, the
program incorrectly returns err directly without releasing the resources
allocated by err = drv-&gt;probe(dev, id). As the return value is non-zero,
the upper layers assume the processing logic has failed. However, the probe
operation was performed earlier without a corresponding remove operation.
Since the probe actually allocates resources, failing to perform the remove
operation could lead to problems.

To fix this issue, we followed the resource release logic of the
xenbus_dev_remove() function by adding a new block fail_remove before the
fail_put block. After entering the branch if (err) at line 313, the
function will use a goto statement to jump to the fail_remove block,
ensuring that the previously acquired resources are correctly released,
thus preventing the reference count leak.

This bug was identified by an experimental static analysis tool developed
by our team. The tool specializes in analyzing reference count operations
and detecting potential issues where resources are not properly managed.
In this case, the tool flagged the missing release operation as a
potential problem, which led to the development of this patch.

[ Upstream commit 9f40ec84a7976d95c34e7cc070939deb103652b0 ]

When checking a memory buffer to be consecutive in machine memory,
the alignment needs to be checked, too. Failing to do so might result
in DMA memory not being aligned according to its requested size,
leading to error messages like:

  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: enabling device (0140 -&gt; 0142)
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Ring address not aligned
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Failed to initialise service qat_crypto
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Resetting device qat_dev0
  4xxx: probe of 0000:2b:00.0 failed with error -14

[ Upstream commit 611ff1b1ae989a7bcce3e2a8e132ee30e968c557 ]

Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmd_irqfd_assign() and
privcmd_irqfd_deassign(). If that happens, it is possible that a kirqfd
created and added to the irqfds_list by privcmd_irqfd_assign() may get
removed by another thread executing privcmd_irqfd_deassign(), while the
former is still using it after dropping the locks.

This can lead to a situation where an already freed kirqfd instance may
be accessed and cause kernel oops.

Use SRCU locking to prevent the same, as is done for the KVM
implementation for irqfds.

[ Upstream commit 1c682593096a487fd9aebc079a307ff7a6d054a3 ]

irqfd_wakeup() gets EPOLLHUP, when it is called by
eventfd_release() by way of wake_up_poll(&amp;ctx-&gt;wqh, EPOLLHUP), which
gets called under spin_lock_irqsave(). We can't use a mutex here as it
will lead to a deadlock.

Fix it by switching over to a spin lock.

[ Upstream commit 1c682593096a487fd9aebc079a307ff7a6d054a3 ]

irqfd_wakeup() gets EPOLLHUP, when it is called by
eventfd_release() by way of wake_up_poll(&amp;ctx-&gt;wqh, EPOLLHUP), which
gets called under spin_lock_irqsave(). We can't use a mutex here as it
will lead to a deadlock.

Fix it by switching over to a spin lock.

[ Upstream commit a3607581cd49c17128a486a526a36a97bafcb2bb ]

Currently, the late XenStore init protocol is only triggered properly
for the case that HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is ~0ULL (invalid). For the
case that XenStore interface is allocated but not ready (the connection
status is not XENSTORE_CONNECTED), Linux should also wait until the
XenStore is set up properly.

Introduce a macro to describe the XenStore interface is ready, use
it in xenbus_probe_initcall() to select the code path of doing the
late XenStore init protocol or not. Since now we have more than one
condition for XenStore late init, rework the check in xenbus_probe()
for the free_irq().

Take the opportunity to enhance the check of the allocated XenStore
interface can be properly mapped, and return error early if the
memremap() fails.

Fixes: 5b3353949e89 ("xen: add support for initializing xenstore later as HVM domain")

<title>x86/xen: attempt to inflate the memory balloon on PVH</title>

[ Upstream commit 38620fc4e8934f1801c7811ef39a041914ac4c1d ]

When running as PVH or HVM Linux will use holes in the memory map as scratch
space to map grants, foreign domain pages and possibly miscellaneous other
stuff.  However the usage of such memory map holes for Xen purposes can be
problematic.  The request of holesby Xen happen quite early in the kernel boot
process (grant table setup already uses scratch map space), and it's possible
that by then not all devices have reclaimed their MMIO space.  It's not
unlikely for chunks of Xen scratch map space to end up using PCI bridge MMIO
window memory, which (as expected) causes quite a lot of issues in the system.

At least for PVH dom0 we have the possibility of using regions marked as
UNUSABLE in the e820 memory map.  Either if the region is UNUSABLE in the
native memory map, or it has been converted into UNUSABLE in order to hide RAM
regions from dom0, the second stage translation page-tables can populate those
areas without issues.

PV already has this kind of logic, where the balloon driver is inflated at
boot.  Re-use the current logic in order to also inflate it when running as
PVH.  onvert UNUSABLE regions up to the ratio specified in EXTRA_MEM_RATIO to
RAM, while reserving them using xen_add_extra_mem() (which is also moved so
it's no longer tied to CONFIG_PV).

[jgross: fixed build for CONFIG_PVH without CONFIG_XEN_PVH]

[ Upstream commit d277f9d82802223f242cd9b60c988cfdda1d6be0 ]

In bind_evtchn_to_irq_chip() don't increment the refcnt of the event
channel blindly. In case the event channel is NOT refcounted, issue a
warning instead.

Add an additional safety net by doing the refcnt increment only if the
caller has specified IRQF_SHARED in the irqflags parameter.
