The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing 'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using the feature but only the availability of the feature. However, commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") made a field of blkback, which was a place for saving only the negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the 'feature_persistent' parameter value. As a result, the advertisement, which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent. This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkback saves the parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based on only the saved value.

2022-08-12xen-blkback: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter when connectMaximilian Heyne
In some use cases[1], the backend is created while the frontend doesn't support the persistent grants feature, but later the frontend can be changed to support the feature and reconnect. In the past, 'blkback' enabled the persistent grants feature since it unconditionally checked if frontend supports the persistent grants feature for every connect ('connect_ring()') and decided whether it should use persistent grans or not. However, commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") has mistakenly changed the behavior. It made the frontend feature support check to not be repeated once it shown the 'feature_persistent' as 'false', or the frontend doesn't support persistent grants. This commit changes the behavior of the parameter to make effect for every connect, so that the previous workflow can work again as expected.

2022-08-12xen-blkback: fix persistent grants negotiationSeongJae Park
Persistent grants feature can be used only when both backend and the frontend supports the feature. The feature was always supported by 'blkback', but commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") has introduced a parameter for disabling it runtime. To avoid the parameter be updated while being used by 'blkback', the commit caches the parameter into 'vbd->feature_gnt_persistent' in 'xen_vbd_create()', and then check if the guest also supports the feature and finally updates the field in 'connect_ring()'. However, 'connect_ring()' could be called before 'xen_vbd_create()', so later execution of 'xen_vbd_create()' can wrongly overwrite 'true' to 'vbd->feature_gnt_persistent'. As a result, 'blkback' could try to use 'persistent grants' feature even if the guest doesn't support the feature. This commit fixes the issue by moving the parameter value caching to 'xen_blkif_alloc()', which allocates the 'blkif'. Because the struct embeds 'vbd' object, which will be used by 'connect_ring()' later, this should be called before 'connect_ring()' and therefore this should be the right and safe place to do the caching.

2021-04-23xen-blkback: fix compatibility bug with single page ringsPaul Durrant
Prior to commit 4a8c31a1c6f5 ("xen/blkback: rework connect_ring() to avoid inconsistent xenstore 'ring-page-order' set by malicious blkfront"), the behaviour of xen-blkback when connecting to a frontend was: - read 'ring-page-order' - if not present then expect a single page ring specified by 'ring-ref' - else expect a ring specified by 'ring-refX' where X is between 0 and 1 << ring-page-order This was correct behaviour, but was broken by the afforementioned commit to become: - read 'ring-page-order' - if not present then expect a single page ring (i.e. ring-page-order = 0) - expect a ring specified by 'ring-refX' where X is between 0 and 1 << ring-page-order - if that didn't work then see if there's a single page ring specified by 'ring-ref' This incorrect behaviour works most of the time but fails when a frontend that sets 'ring-page-order' is unloaded and replaced by one that does not because, instead of reading 'ring-ref', xen-blkback will read the stale 'ring-ref0' left around by the previous frontend will try to map the wrong grant reference.

The function uses a goto-based loop, which may lead to an earlier error getting discarded by a later iteration. Exit this ad-hoc loop when an error was encountered. The out-of-memory error path additionally fails to fill a structure field looked at by xen_blkbk_unmap_prepare() before inspecting the handle which does get properly set (to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE). Since the earlier exiting from the ad-hoc loop requires the same field filling (invalidation) as that on the out-of-memory path, fold both paths. While doing so, drop the pr_alert(), as extra log messages aren't going to help the situation (the kernel will log oom conditions already anyway). This is XSA-365.

2020-12-14xen-blkback: set ring->xenblkd to NULL after kthread_stop()Pawel Wieczorkiewicz
When xen_blkif_disconnect() is called, the kernel thread behind the block interface is stopped by calling kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd). The ring->xenblkd thread pointer being non-NULL determines if the thread has been already stopped. Normally, the thread's function xen_blkif_schedule() sets the ring->xenblkd to NULL, when the thread's main loop ends. However, when the thread has not been started yet (i.e. wake_up_process() has not been called on it), the xen_blkif_schedule() function would not be called yet. In such case the kthread_stop() call returns -EINTR and the ring->xenblkd remains dangling. When this happens, any consecutive call to xen_blkif_disconnect (for example in frontend_changed() callback) leads to a kernel crash in kthread_stop() (e.g. NULL pointer dereference in exit_creds()). This is XSA-350.

2020-08-07mm: remove unneeded includes of <asm/pgalloc.h>Mike Rapoport
Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>" Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable use of the generic functions where appropriate. In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place. The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of <asm/pgalloc.h> In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local to mm/. This patch (of 8): In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header. As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file. The process was somewhat automated using sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \ $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \ $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h')) where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

2020-01-29xen/blkback: Squeeze page pools if a memory pressure is detectedSeongJae Park
Each `blkif` has a free pages pool for the grant mapping. The size of the pool starts from zero and is increased on demand while processing the I/O requests. If current I/O requests handling is finished or 100 milliseconds has passed since last I/O requests handling, it checks and shrinks the pool to not exceed the size limit, `max_buffer_pages`. Therefore, host administrators can cause memory pressure in blkback by attaching a large number of block devices and inducing I/O. Such problematic situations can be avoided by limiting the maximum number of devices that can be attached, but finding the optimal limit is not so easy. Improper set of the limit can results in memory pressure or a resource underutilization. This commit avoids such problematic situations by squeezing the pools (returns every free page in the pool to the system) for a while (users can set this duration via a module parameter) if memory pressure is detected. Discussions =========== The `blkback`'s original shrinking mechanism returns only pages in the pool which are not currently be used by `blkback` to the system. In other words, the pages that are not mapped with granted pages. Because this commit is changing only the shrink limit but still uses the same freeing mechanism it does not touch pages which are currently mapping grants. Once memory pressure is detected, this commit keeps the squeezing limit for a user-specified time duration. The duration should be neither too long nor too short. If it is too long, the squeezing incurring overhead can reduce the I/O performance. If it is too short, `blkback` will not free enough pages to reduce the memory pressure. This commit sets the value as `10 milliseconds` by default because it is a short time in terms of I/O while it is a long time in terms of memory operations. Also, as the original shrinking mechanism works for at least every 100 milliseconds, this could be a somewhat reasonable choice. I also tested other durations (refer to the below section for more details) and confirmed that 10 milliseconds is the one that works best with the test. That said, the proper duration depends on actual configurations and workloads. That's why this commit allows users to set the duration as a module parameter. Memory Pressure Test ==================== To show how this commit fixes the memory pressure situation well, I configured a test environment on a xen-running virtualization system. On the `blkfront` running guest instances, I attach a large number of network-backed volume devices and induce I/O to those. Meanwhile, I measure the number of pages that swapped in (pswpin) and out (pswpout) on the `blkback` running guest. The test ran twice, once for the `blkback` before this commit and once for that after this commit. As shown below, this commit has dramatically reduced the memory pressure: pswpin pswpout before 76,672 185,799 after 867 3,967 Optimal Aggressive Shrinking Duration ------------------------------------- To find a best squeezing duration, I repeated the test with three different durations (1ms, 10ms, and 100ms). The results are as below: duration pswpin pswpout 1 707 5,095 10 867 3,967 100 362 3,348 As expected, the memory pressure decreases as the duration increases, but the reduction become slow from the `10ms`. Based on this results, I chose the default duration as 10ms. Performance Overhead Test ========================= This commit could incur I/O performance degradation under severe memory pressure because the squeezing will require more page allocations per I/O. To show the overhead, I artificially made a worst-case squeezing situation and measured the I/O performance of a `blkfront` running guest. For the artificial squeezing, I set the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` using the `/sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages` file. In this test, I set the value to `1024` and `0`. The `1024` is the default value. Setting the value as `0` is same to a situation doing the squeezing always (worst-case). If the underlying block device is slow enough, the squeezing overhead could be hidden. For the reason, I use a fast block device, namely the rbd[1]: # xl block-attach guest phy:/dev/ram0 xvdb w For the I/O performance measurement, I run a simple `dd` command 5 times directly to the device as below and collect the 'MB/s' results. $ for i in {1..5}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvdb \ bs=4k count=$((256*512)); sync; done The results are as below. 'max_pgs' represents the value of the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` parameter. max_pgs Min Max Median Avg Stddev 0 417 423 420 419.4 2.5099801 1024 414 425 416 417.8 4.4384682 No difference proven at 95.0% confidence In short, even worst case squeezing on ramdisk based fast block device makes no visible performance degradation. Please note that this is just a very simple and minimal test. On systems using super-fast block devices and a special I/O workload, the results might be different. If you have any doubt, test on your machine with your workload to find the optimal squeezing duration for you.

By simply re-attaching to shared rings during connect_ring() rather than assuming they are freshly allocated (i.e assuming the counters are zero) it is possible for vbd instances to be unbound and re-bound from and to (respectively) a running guest. This has been tested by running: while true; do fio --name=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=16 \ --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --direct=1 --size=1G --verify=crc32; done in a PV guest whilst running: while true; do echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >unbind; echo unbound; sleep 5; echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >bind; echo bound; sleep 3; done in dom0 from /sys/bus/xen-backend/drivers/vbd to continuously unbind and re-bind its system disk image. This is a highly useful feature for a backend module as it allows it to be unloaded and re-loaded (i.e. updated) without requiring domUs to be halted. This was also tested by running: while true; do echo vbd-$DOMID-$VBD >unbind; echo unbound; sleep 5; rmmod xen-blkback; echo unloaded; sleep 1; modprobe xen-blkback; echo bound; cd $(pwd); sleep 3; done in dom0 whilst running the same loop as above in the (single) PV guest.

2019-12-03xen/blkback: Avoid unmapping unmapped grant pagesSeongJae Park
For each I/O request, blkback first maps the foreign pages for the request to its local pages. If an allocation of a local page for the mapping fails, it should unmap every mapping already made for the request. However, blkback's handling mechanism for the allocation failure does not mark the remaining foreign pages as unmapped. Therefore, the unmap function merely tries to unmap every valid grant page for the request, including the pages not mapped due to the allocation failure. On a system that fails the allocation frequently, this problem leads to following kernel crash.

However, it is obtained in read_per_ring_refs() which might be called multiple times during the initialization of each blkback queue. If the blkfront is malicious and the 'ring-page-order' is set in different value by blkfront every time before blkback reads it, this may end up at the "WARN_ON(i != (XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE * blkif->nr_ring_pages));" in xen_blkif_disconnect() when frontend is destroyed.
