[Xen-devel] Prepping a bugfix push
I'm preparing a general bugfix push for Linus, targeted at both current
linux-2.6.git and stable. The list of patches I have lined up (in the
"bugfix" branch) are below. Is there anything I've overlooked? Are
there any patches I've forgotten to apply altogether?
(Note, this is all domU stuff; dom0 things will need to mature a bit.)
Thanks,
J

xen: explicitly create/destroy stop_machine workqueues outside
suspend/resume region.
I have observed cases where the implicit stop_machine_destroy() done by
stop_machine() hangs while destroying the workqueues, specifically in
kthread_stop(). This seems to be because timer ticks are not restarted
until after stop_machine() returns.
Fortunately stop_machine provides a facility to pre-create/post-destroy
the workqueues so use this to ensure that workqueues are only destroyed
after everything is really up and running again.
I only actually observed this failure with 2.6.30. It seems that newer
kernels are somehow more robust against doing kthread_stop() without timer
interrupts (I tried some backports of some likely looking candidates but
did not track down the commit which added this robustness). However this
change seems like a reasonable belt&braces thing to do.

commit 65f63384b391bf4d384327d8a7c6de9860290b5c

xen: improve error handling in do_suspend.
The existing error handling has a few issues:
- If freeze_processes() fails it exits with shutting_down =
SHUTDOWN_SUSPEND.
- If dpm_suspend_noirq() fails it exits without resuming xenbus.
- If stop_machine() fails it exits without resuming xenbus or calling
dpm_resume_end().
- xs_suspend()/xs_resume() and dpm_suspend_noirq()/dpm_resume_noirq() were
not
nested in the obvious way.
Fix by ensuring each failure case goto's the correct label. Treat a failure
of
stop_machine() as a cancelled suspend in order to follow the correct resume
path.

xen: don't leak IRQs over suspend/resume.
On resume irq_info[*].evtchn is reset to 0 since event channel mappings
are not preserved over suspend/resume. The other contents of irq_info
is preserved to allow rebind_evtchn_irq() to function.
However when a device resumes it will try to unbind from the
previous IRQ (e.g. blkfront goes blkfront_resume() -> blkif_free() ->
unbind_from_irqhandler() -> unbind_from_irq()). This will fail due to the
check for VALID_EVTCHN in unbind_from_irq() and the IRQ is leaked. The
device will then continue to resume and allocate a new IRQ, eventually
leading to find_unbound_irq() panic()ing.
Fix this by changing unbind_from_irq() to handle teardown of interrupts
which have type!=IRQT_UNBOUND but are not currently bound to a specific
event channel.

xen: call clock resume notifier on all CPUs
tick_resume() is never called on secondary processors. Presumably this
is because they are offlined for suspend on native and so this is
normally taken care of in the CPU onlining path. Under Xen we keep all
CPUs online over a suspend.
This patch papers over the issue for me but I will investigate a more
generic, less hacky, way of doing to the same.
tick_suspend is also only called on the boot CPU which I presume should
be fixed too.

xen: use iret for return from 64b kernel to 32b usermode
If Xen wants to return to a 32b usermode with sysret it must use the
right form. When using VCGF_in_syscall to trigger this, it looks at
the code segment and does a 32b sysret if it is FLAT_USER_CS32.
However, this is different from __USER32_CS, so it fails to return
properly if we use the normal Linux segment.
So avoid the whole mess by dropping VCGF_in_syscall and simply use
plain iret to return to usermode.

xen: don't call dpm_resume_noirq() with interrupts disabled.
dpm_resume_noirq() takes a mutex, so it can't be called from a no-interrupt
context. Don't call it from within the stop-machine function, but just
afterwards, since we're resuming anyway, regardless of what happened.

pvops kernels >= 2.6.30 can currently only be saved and restored once. The
second attempt to save results in:

xen: split construction of p2m mfn tables from registration

Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
<jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>
The unforeseen side-effect of this change was to cause the mfn list list to
not
be rebuilt on resume. Prior to this change it would have been rebuilt via
xen_post_suspend() -> xen_setup_shared_info() -> xen_setup_mfn_list_list().
Fix by explicitly calling xen_build_mfn_list_list() from xen_post_suspend().

xen: re-register runstate area earlier on resume.
This is necessary to ensure the runstate area is available to
xen_sched_clock before any calls to printk which will require it in
order to provide a timestamp.
I chose to pull the xen_setup_runstate_info out of xen_time_init into
the caller in order to maintain parity with calling
xen_setup_runstate_info separately from calling xen_time_resume.

xen: fix is_disconnected_device/exists_disconnected_device
The logic of is_disconnected_device/exists_disconnected_device is wrong
in that they are used to test whether a device is trying to connect (i.e.
connecting). For this reason the patch fixes them to not consider a
Closing or Closed device to be connecting. At the same time the patch
also renames the functions according to what they really do; you could
say a closed device is "disconnected" (the old name), but not "connecting"
(the new name).
This patch is a backport of changeset 909 from the Xenbits tree.
