2007-10-16RDMA/cma: Fix deadlock destroying listen requestsSean Hefty
Deadlock condition reported by Kanoj Sarcar <kanoj@netxen.com>. The deadlock occurs when a connection request arrives at the same time that a wildcard listen is being destroyed. A wildcard listen maintains per device listen requests for each RDMA device in the system. The per device listens are automatically added and removed when RDMA devices are inserted or removed from the system. When a wildcard listen is destroyed, rdma_destroy_id() acquires the rdma_cm's device mutex ('lock') to protect against hot-plug events adding or removing per device listens. It then tries to destroy the per device listens by calling ib_destroy_cm_id() or iw_destroy_cm_id(). It does this while holding the device mutex. However, if the underlying iw/ib CM reports a connection request while this is occurring, the rdma_cm callback function will try to acquire the same device mutex. Since we're in a callback, the ib_destroy_cm_id() or iw_destroy_cm_id() calls will block until their callback thread returns, but the callback is blocked waiting for the device mutex. Fix this by re-working how per device listens are destroyed. Use rdma_destroy_id(), which avoids the deadlock, in place of cma_destroy_listen(). Additional synchronization is added to handle device hot-plug events and ensure that the id is not destroyed twice.

2007-10-16RDMA/cma: Add locking around QP accessesSean Hefty
If a user allocates a QP on an rdma_cm_id, the rdma_cm will automatically transition the QP through its states (RTR, RTS, error, etc.) While the QP state transitions are occurring, the QP itself must remain valid. Provide locking around the QP pointer to prevent its destruction while accessing the pointer. This fixes an issue reported by Olaf Kirch from Oracle that resulted in a system crash: "An incoming connection arrives and we decide to tear down the nascent connection. The remote ends decides to do the same. We start to shut down the connection, and call rdma_destroy_qp on our cm_id. ... Now apparently a 'connect reject' message comes in from the other host, and cma_ib_handler() is called with an event of IB_CM_REJ_RECEIVED. It calls cma_modify_qp_err, which for some odd reason tries to modify the exact same QP we just destroyed."

2007-10-16xfs: eagerly remove vmap mappings to avoid upsetting XenJeremy Fitzhardinge
XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it virtually contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being recycled into a pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of the page. This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS always eagerly unmap its mappings. David Chinner says this shouldn't have any performance impact on filesystems with default block sizes; it will only affect filesystems with large block sizes.

2007-10-16xen: lock pte pages while pinning/unpinningJeremy Fitzhardinge
When a pagetable is created, it is made globally visible in the rmap prio tree before it is pinned via arch_dup_mmap(), and remains in the rmap tree while it is unpinned with arch_exit_mmap(). This means that other CPUs may race with the pinning/unpinning process, and see a pte between when it gets marked RO and actually pinned, causing any pte updates to fail with write-protect faults. As a result, all pte pages must be properly locked, and only unlocked once the pinning/unpinning process has finished. In order to avoid taking spinlocks for the whole pagetable - which may overflow the PREEMPT_BITS portion of preempt counter - it locks and pins each pte page individually, and then finally pins the whole pagetable.

2007-10-16xen: deal with stale cr3 values when unpinning pagetablesJeremy Fitzhardinge
When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed. This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 - which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3 values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

2007-10-16xen: add batch completion callbacksJeremy Fitzhardinge
This adds a mechanism to register a callback function to be called once a batch of hypercalls has been issued.

2007-10-16paravirt: clean up lazy mode handlingJeremy Fitzhardinge
Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions: 1. enter lazy cpu mode 2. leave lazy cpu mode 3. enter lazy mmu mode 4. leave lazy mmu mode 5. flush pending batched operations This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and seems to just cause complication. This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and "leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops. All the logic associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code (basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving). Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and re-entering the lazy mode. The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations are much simpler.

2007-10-16paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_opsJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.

Turns out b868868ae0f7272228c95cc760338ffe35bb739d wasn't quite right. When called for a page that isn't marked dirty it would artificially create an alias instead of doing the obvious thing and access the page via KSEG0.
