commit 23025393db upstream.
In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving netfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for netback and unmask the event channel only just before
going to sleep waiting for new events.
Make sure not to issue an EOI when none is pending by introducing an
eoi_pending element to struct xenvif_queue.
When no request has been consumed set the spurious flag when sending
the EOI for an interrupt.
This is part of XSA-332.

After the previous patch, all the callers of ndo_select_queue()
provide as a 'fallback' argument netdev_pick_tx.
The only exceptions are nested calls to ndo_select_queue(),
which pass down the 'fallback' available in the current scope
- still netdev_pick_tx.
We can drop such argument and replace fallback() invocation with
netdev_pick_tx(). This avoids an indirect call per xmit packet
in some scenarios (TCP syn, UDP unconnected, XDP generic, pktgen)
with device drivers implementing such ndo. It also clean the code
a bit.
Tested with ixgbe and CONFIG_FCOE=m

Occasionally, during the disconnection procedure on XenBus which
includes hash cache deinitialization there might be some packets
still in-flight on other processors. Handling of these packets includes
hashing and hash cache population that finally results in hash cache
data structure corruption.
In order to avoid this we prevent hashing of those packets if there
are no queues initialized. In that case RCU protection of queues guards
the hash cache as well.

For most of these calls we can just pass NULL through to the fallback
function as the sb_dev. The only cases where we cannot are the cases where
we might be dealing with either an upper device or a driver that would
have configured things to support an sb_dev itself.
The only driver that has any significant change in this patch set should be
ixgbe as we can drop the redundant functionality that existed in both the
ndo_select_queue function and the fallback function that was passed through
to us.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.
Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.
Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly. If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.
In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().
Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.

In the case when a frontend only negotiates a single queue with xen-
netback it is possible for a skbuff with a s/w hash to result in a
hash extra_info segment being sent to the frontend even when no hash
algorithm has been configured. (The ndo_select_queue() entry point makes
sure the hash is not set if no algorithm is configured, but this entry
point is not called when there is only a single queue). This can result
in a frontend that is unable to handle extra_info segments being given
such a segment, causing it to crash.
This patch fixes the problem by clearing the hash in ndo_start_xmit()
instead, which is clearly guaranteed to be called irrespective of the
number of queues.

A domain with a frontend that does not implement a control ring has been
seen to cause a crash during domain save. This was apparently because
the call to xenvif_deinit_hash() in xenvif_disconnect_ctrl() is made
regardless of whether a control ring was connected, and hence
xenvif_hash_init() was called.
This patch brings the call to xenvif_deinit_hash() in
xenvif_disconnect_ctrl() inside the if clause that checks whether the
control ring event channel was connected. This is sufficient to ensure
it is only called if xenvif_init_hash() was called previously.

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.

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.

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.

Otherwise the interrupt handler still calls napi_complete. Although it
won't schedule NAPI again as either NAPI_STATE_DISABLE or
NAPI_STATE_SCHED is set, it is just unnecessary, and it makes more
sense to do this way.

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.
