Subject: [patch 25/29] xen: Add the Xen virtual network device driver.

The network device frontend driver allows the kernel to access network
devices exported exported by a virtual machine containing a physical
network device driver.

* * *
use skb.cb for storing private data

Netfront's use of nh.raw and h.raw for storing page+offset is a bit
hinky, and it breaks with upcoming network stack updates which reduce
these fields to sub-pointer sizes. Fortunately, skb offers the "cb"
field specifically for stashing this kind of info, so use it.

* * *
Lockdep fixes for xen-netfront

netfront contains two locking problems found by lockdep:

1. rx_lock is a normal spinlock, and tx_lock is an irq spinlock. This
means that in normal use, tx_lock may be taken by an interrupt routine
while rx_lock is held. However, netif_disconnect_backend takes them
in the order tx_lock->rx_lock, which could lead to a deadlock. Reverse
them
2. rx_lock can also be taken in softirq context, so it should be taken/released
with spin_(un)lock_bh.

There only seems to be a module description but no actual paramter for
this. I wish people would have listened to me back then and made the
description part of the modular_param statement..

__RING_SIZE is not in my tree, so it seems to be some kind of Xen
addition. Can you make that clear in the name and give it a less
awkware calling convention, e.g. only pass in the type, not a null
pointer of the given type?

This doesn't implement my review suggestion despite you ACKing

Sometimes we weary of change. However, come up with a decent name and
implement it and we can deprecate module_param() by say... 2012?

Uh, what did I miss? Oh, I see, I need a module_param(rx_mode, int,
0600) or something? Or maybe with a callback if we can change it on the
fly? And enum type? Or maybe I string?

I'll sort it out.

Yeah. The Xen ring stuff is a bit full of magic macros, so I was going
to look at inlineizing/re-namespacing it in a separate patch.

Sorry, I forgot about it. I was waiting to hear back from network
people about what this is actually for, and whether we really need it.

It wasn't obvious to me whether this meant that we could avoid having a
netfront-private carrier flag but still get quick response by using
"netif_carrier_on(); dev_activate();".

We should just change this to use netif_device_attach and
netif_device_detach.

Looks good, you can slightly improve it to be the model use of new
module_param types by calling your functions param_set_rx_mode and
param_get_rx_mode, then simply using "module_param(rx_mode, rx_mode,
0400)"

Rusty.

Of course not, but it's the Right Way!

Sorry, I had forgotten that I've already concluded previously that
this doesn't work because we don't want to prevent the interface
from being brought up (and other reasons). My memory is failing me :)

So I think the best option now is to get rid of the delay on carrier
on events for everyone.

Here is the first of 2 patches.

[NET] link_watch: Move link watch list into net_device

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.

In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.

It also simplifies the code greatly.

In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

Subject: [2/2] [NET] link_watch: Remove delay for up even when we're down

[NET]: Remove link_watch delay for up even when we're down

Currently all link carrier events are delayed by up to a second
before they're processed to prevent link storms. This causes
unnecessary packet loss during that interval.

In fact, we can achieve the same effect in preventing storms by
only delaying down events and unnecssary up events. The latter
is defined as up events when we're already up.

Sounds good to me. So I'll use this change instead.

Subject: xen: go back to using normal network stack carriers

This effectively reverts xen-unstable change
14280:42b29f084c31. Herbert has changed the behaviour of the core
networking to not delay an initial down->up transition, and so the
timing concern has been solved.

I think there's a problem with one of these two patches. I've been
noticing that one of my events/X threads has been going into a spin for
about 5 mins after boot. I added some debugging to
kernel/workqueue.c:run_workqueue, since its that loop which seems to be
spinning due to list corruption.

When I look to see if that loop has iterated for more than 100 times in
one go (which seems unlikely), I get this:

I wonder if the problem is that the linkwatch_work is being rescheduled
when its already been scheduled, or something like that?

Nope. Guess I got dropped from the cc: list. Was this on lkml or netdev?

Five minutes after boot is when jiffies wraps. Are you sure it's
a list-screwup rather than a jiffy-wrap screwup?

Hm, its suggestive, isn't it? Apparently they've already fixed this in
the sekret networking clubhouse, so I'll need to track it down.

I'm not so certain now that we know it's the jiffies wrap point :-)

The fixes in question are attached below and they were posted and
discussed on netdev:

[NET] link_watch: Eliminate potential delay on wrap-around

When the jiffies wrap around or when the system boots up for the first
time, down events can be delayed indefinitely since we no longer
update linkwatch_nextevent when only urgent events are processed.

This patch fixes this by setting linkwatch_nextevent when a
wrap-around occurs.

[NET] link_watch: Always schedule urgent events

Urgent events may be delayed if we already have a non-urgent event
queued for that device. This patch changes this by making sure that
an urgent event is always looked at immediately.

I've replaced the LW_RUNNING flag by LW_URGENT since whether work
is scheduled is already kept track by the work queue system.

The only complication is that we have to provide some exclusion for
the setting linkwatch_nextevent which is available in the actual
work function.

I don't see it there either... let me check my mail archive...

Indeed, they were "posted" to netdev but were blocked by the vger
regexp filters on the keyword "urgent" so that postings never made it
to the list. I removed that filter regexp so that never happens
again, sorry.
