Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] xen-blk: bug fixes

This series contain blkback bug fixes for memory leaks (patches 1 and
2) and a race (patch 3). Patch 4 removes blkif_request_segment_aligned
since its memory layout is exactly the same as blkif_request_segment
and should introduce no functional change.

All patches should be backported to stable branches, although the last
one is not a functional change it will still be nice to have it for
code correctness.

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] xen-blkback: fix shutdown race

Introduce a new variable to keep track of the number of in-flight
requests. We need to make sure that when xen_blkif_put is called the
request has already been freed and we can safely free xen_blkif, which
was not the case before.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] xen-blkback: fix memory leaks

I've at least identified two possible memory leaks in blkback, both
related to the shutdown path of a VBD:

- blkback doesn't wait for any pending purge work to finish before
cleaning the list of free_pages. The purge work will call
put_free_pages and thus we might end up with pages being added to
the free_pages list after we have emptied it. Fix this by making
sure there's no pending purge work before exiting
xen_blkif_schedule, and moving the free_page cleanup code to
xen_blkif_free.
- blkback doesn't wait for pending requests to end before cleaning
persistent grants and the list of free_pages. Again this can add
pages to the free_pages list or persistent grants to the
persistent_gnts red-black tree. Fixed by moving the persistent
grants and free_pages cleanup code to xen_blkif_free.

Also, add some checks in xen_blkif_free to make sure we are cleaning
everything.

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] xen-blkif: drop struct blkif_request_segment_aligned

This was wrongly introduced in commit 402b27f9, the only difference
between blkif_request_segment_aligned and blkif_request_segment is
that the former has a named padding, while both share the same
memory layout.

Also correct a few minor glitches in the description, including for it
to no longer assume PAGE_SIZE == 4096.

Currently shrink_free_pagepool() is called before the pages used for
persistent grants are released via free_persistent_gnts(). This
results in a memory leak when a VBD that uses persistent grants is
torn down.

Just in case the various mailing list software ate Matt's messages, he
sent the following:

[PATCH v2 2/4] xen-blkback: fix memory leaks
Tested-by: Matt Rushton <[email protected]>
Reviewed-by: Matt Rushton <[email protected]>

[PATCH v2 3/4] xen-blkback: fix shutdown race
Tested-by: Matt Rushton <[email protected]>
Reviewed-by: Matt Rushton <[email protected]>

[PATCH v2 4/4] xen-blkif: drop struct blkif_request_segment_aligned
Tested-by: Matt Rushton <[email protected]>

I've separately sent suggestions to Matt on how to setup his mailer to
format messages per list etiquette and how to avoid breaking message
threading.
