xen/xenbus: Update xenbus event channel on resume

2015-05-05T17:27:13+00:00

After a resume the hypervisor/tools may change xenbus event
channel number. We should re-query it.

xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ring

2015-04-15T09:56:47+00:00

Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along
information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and
backend.

The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in
general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to
various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also
included.

Affected Xen drivers:
* blkfront/back
* netfront/back
* pcifront/back
* scsifront/back
* vtpmfront

The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

xenbus: Add proper handling of XS_ERROR from Xenbus for transactions.

2015-02-05T15:04:46+00:00

If Xenstore sends back a XS_ERROR for TRANSACTION_END, the driver BUGs
because it cannot find the matching transaction in the list.  For
TRANSACTION_START, it leaks memory.

Check the message as returned from xenbus_dev_request_and_reply(), and
clean up for TRANSACTION_START or discard the error for
TRANSACTION_END.

xen: remove DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro

2014-10-06T09:27:57+00:00

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse
errors.

Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead.  This is
similar to pci and usb device registration.

xen/xenbus: Remove BUG_ON() when error string trucated

2014-10-06T09:27:56+00:00

xenbus_va_dev_error() is for printing error, so when error string is
too long to be truncated, need not BUG_ON(), still return truncation
string is OK.

xen/xenbus: Correct the comments for xenbus_grant_ring()

2014-10-06T09:27:56+00:00

A grant reference (which is a positive number) can indicate success, so
the original comments need be improved.

xen/xenbus: Avoid synchronous wait on XenBus stalling shutdown/restart.

2014-04-15T16:41:28+00:00

The 'read_reply' works with 'process_msg' to read of a reply in XenBus.
'process_msg' is running from within the 'xenbus' thread. Whenever
a message shows up in XenBus it is put on a xs_state.reply_list list
and 'read_reply' picks it up.

The problem is if the backend domain or the xenstored process is killed.
In which case 'xenbus' is still awaiting - and 'read_reply' if called -
stuck forever waiting for the reply_list to have some contents.

This is normally not a problem - as the backend domain can come back
or the xenstored process can be restarted. However if the domain
is in process of being powered off/restarted/halted - there is no
point of waiting on it coming back - as we are effectively being
terminated and should not impede the progress.

This patch solves this problem by checking whether the guest is the
right domain. If it is an initial domain and hurtling towards death -
there is no point of continuing the wait. All other type of guests
continue with their behavior (as Xenstore is expected to still be
running in another domain).

xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM XenBus.

2014-01-06T15:44:23+00:00

PVH is a PV guest with a twist - there are certain things
that work in it like HVM and some like PV. For the XenBus
mechanism we want to use the PVHVM mechanism.

xen/pvhvm: If xen_platform_pci=0 is set don't blow up (v4).

2014-01-03T19:54:18+00:00

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:

  xen_platform_pci=0
  (in the guest config file)

or
  xen_emul_unplug=never
  (on the Linux command line)

except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
stumble upon:

.. snip..

which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
PV driver check for:
 - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
   native environment).
 - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
   in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
 - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
   does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
   then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
   Ditto for the network one ('nics').
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
   then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
   In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.
