My recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new extra
info type that can be used to pass hash values between backend and guest
frontend.
This patch adds code to xen-netback to pass hash values calculated for
guest receive-side packets (i.e. netback transmit side) to the frontend.

My recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new shared
ring (in addition to the rx and tx rings) for passing control messages
from a VM frontend driver to a backend driver.
A previous patch added the necessary boilerplate for mapping the control
ring from the frontend, should it be created. This patch adds
implementations for each of the defined protocol messages.

The code does not currently support a frontend passing multiple extra info
fragments to the backend in a tx request. The xenvif_get_extras() function
handles multiple extra_info fragments but make_tx_response() assumes there
is only ever a single extra info fragment.
This patch modifies xenvif_get_extras() to pass back a count of extra
info fragments, which is then passed to make_tx_response() (after
possibly being stashed in pending_tx_info for deferred responses).

Using the MTU or GSO size to determine the number of required guest Rx
requests for an skb was subtly broken since these value may change at
runtime.
After 1650d5455b (xen-netback: always

its guest Rx slots. Calculating the number of required slots from the

Instead of open-coding memcpy()s and directly accessing Tx and Rx

This is more than is strictly necessary for guest Rx requests since
only the id and gref fields are used and it is harmless if the
frontend modifies these.

Commit f48da8b14d (xen-netback: fix
unlimited guest Rx internal queue and carrier flapping) introduced a
regression.
The PV frontend in IPXE only places 4 requests on the guest Rx ring.
Since netback required at least (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1) slots, IPXE could
not receive any packets.
a) If GSO is not enabled on the VIF, fewer guest Rx slots are required
for the largest possible packet. Calculate the required slots
based on the maximum GSO size or the MTU.
This calculation of the number of required slots relies on
1650d5455b (xen-netback: always fully coalesce guest Rx packets)
which present in 4.0-rc1 and later.
b) Reduce the Rx stall detection to checking for at least one
available Rx request. This is fine since we're predominately
concerned with detecting interfaces which are down and thus have
zero available Rx requests.

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.
For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.
For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.
Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.
Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet
multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows
the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets
which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared
ring.
The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies
the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal
necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h.
To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list
arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries.
This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future.
If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD
sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

be_map_pci_bars().
So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top

drivers/vhost/net.c
include/linux/if_vlan.h
net/core/dev.c
The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.
In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.
In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.
In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

After commit e9d8b2c296 (xen-netback:
disable rogue vif in kthread context), a fatal (protocol) error would
leave the guest Rx thread spinning, wasting CPU time. Commit
ecf08d2dbb (xen-netback: reintroduce
guest Rx stall detection) made this even worse by removing a
cond_resched() from this path.
Since a fatal error is non-recoverable, just allow the guest Rx thread
to exit. This requires taking additional refs to the task so the
thread exiting early is handled safely.

Use the foreign page flag in netback to get the domid and grant ref
needed for the grant copy. This signficiantly simplifies the netback
code and makes netback work with foreign pages from other backends
(e.g., blkback).
This allows blkback to use iSCSI disks provided by domUs running on
the same host.

Ballooned pages are always used for grant maps which means the
original frame does not need to be saved in page->index nor restored
after the grant unmap.
This allows the workaround in netback for the conflicting use of the
(unionized) page->index and page->pfmemalloc to be removed.

Always fully coalesce guest Rx packets into the minimum number of ring
slots. Reducing the number of slots per packet has significant
performance benefits when receiving off-host traffic.
Results from XenServer's performance benchmarks:
Baseline Full coalesce
Interhost VM receive 7.2 Gb/s 11 Gb/s
Interhost aggregate 24 Gb/s 24 Gb/s
Intrahost single stream 14 Gb/s 14 Gb/s
Intrahost aggregate 34 Gb/s 34 Gb/s
However, this can increase the number of grant ops per packet which
decreases performance of backend (dom0) to VM traffic (by ~10%)
/unless/ grant copy has been optimized for adjacent ops with the same
source or destination (see "grant-table: defer releasing pages
acquired in a grant copy"[1] expected in Xen 4.6).

Commit bc96f648df (xen-netback: make
feature-rx-notify mandatory) incorrectly assumed that there were no
frontends in use that did not support this feature. But the frontend
driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms,
these stopped working.
Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except:
- If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only
the drain timeout will wake the thread. The default drain timeout
of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses.
- If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained,
then the Rx thread would never wake.
Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by:
- Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms.
- Disabling Rx stall detection.

Unconditionally pulling 128 bytes into the linear area is not required
for:
- security: Every protocol demux starts with pskb_may_pull() to pull
frag data into the linear area, if necessary, before looking at
headers.
- performance: Netback has already grant copied up-to 128 bytes from
the first slot of a packet into the linear area. The first slot
normally contain all the IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/UDP headers.
The unconditional pull would often copy frag data unnecessarily. This
is a performance problem when running on a version of Xen where grant
unmap avoids TLB flushes for pages which are not accessed. TLB
flushes can now be avoided for > 99% of unmaps (it was 0% before).
Grant unmap TLB flush avoidance will be available in a future version
of Xen (probably 4.6).

If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and
turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being
queued and drained when they expire.
A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a
an extended period of time (default 60 s).
If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the
expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The
carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.
When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state
and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and
it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are
discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken.
1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not
consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx
queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound.
The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill
leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S
slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback
queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer
slots.
2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the
(host) Tx queue is not stopped.
3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback
will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking
the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with
only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might
not fit in this).
The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib,
enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started
based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory
used by packets on the internal queue.
This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be
removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest
Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet.
skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the
current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect
when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired
skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can
be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to
wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain
timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets.
Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit.

Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts
a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again.
This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and
slows down other guests shutdown.
This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer
fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif.
Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to
signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived,
so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest
can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect.
Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit
QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that.
