xen/blkback: fix tear-down issues

xen/blkback: fix reconnection of backend

The hotplug script will be executed only once for each backend,
regardless of the frontend triggering reconnections. Fix blkback to
deal with the hotplug script being executed only once, so that
reconnections don't stall waiting for a hotplug script execution
that will never happen.

As a result of the fix move the initialization of dev_mode, dev_type
and dev_name to the watch callback, as they should be set only once
the first time the backend connects.

This fix is specially relevant for guests wanting to use UEFI OVMF
firmware, because OVMF will use Xen PV block devices and disconnect
afterwards, thus allowing them to be used by the guest OS. Without
this change the guest OS will stall waiting for the block backed to
attach.

xen-blkback: fix leak of grant maps on ring setup failure

Multi page rings are mapped using a single hypercall that gets passed
an array of grants to map. One of the grants in the array failing to
map would lead to the failure of the whole ring setup operation, but
there was no cleanup of the rest of the grant maps in the array that
could have likely been created as a result of the hypercall.

Add proper cleanup on the failure path during ring setup to unmap any
grants that could have been created.

xen: allow limiting the amount of duplicated pending xenstore watches

Xenstore watches received are queued in a list and processed in a
deferred thread. Such queuing was done without any checking, so a
guest could potentially trigger a resource starvation against the
FreeBSD kernel if such kernel is watching any user-controlled xenstore
path.

Allowing limiting the amount of pending events a watch can accumulate
to prevent a remote guest from triggering this resource starvation
issue.

For the PV device backends and frontends this limitation is only
applied to the other end /state node, which is limited to 1 pending
event, the rest of the watched paths can still have unlimited pending
watches because they are either local or controlled by a privileged
domain.

The xenstore user-space device gets special treatment as it's not
possible for the kernel to know whether the paths being watched by
user-space processes are controlled by a guest domain. For this reason
watches set by the xenstore user-space device are limited to 1000
pending events. Note this can be modified using the
max_pending_watch_events sysctl of the device.

This is XSA-349.

Make MAXPHYS tunable. Bump MAXPHYS to 1M.

Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.

Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.

Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

xen-blkback: do not use state 3 (XenbusStateInitialised)

Linux will not connect to a backend that's in state 3
(XenbusStateInitialised), it needs to be in state 2
(XenbusStateInitWait) for Linux to attempt to connect to the backend.

The protocol seems to suggest that the backend should indeed wait in
state 2 for the frontend to connect, which makes state 3 unusable for
disk backends.

Also make sure blkback will connect to the frontend if the frontend
reaches state 3 (XenbusStateInitialised) before blkback has processed
the results from the hotplug script (Submitted by Nathan Friess).

Uses of mallocarray(9).

The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.

Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

xen-blkback: fix error path on failed attach

The current error path in case of failure during attach/initialization is
not correct and leaves blkback in a stuck state. This is due to blkback
waiting for blkfront to switch to state XenbusStateClosed, but if blkfront
never attached (because the guest is not even started) it cannot possibly
make it to that state.

Instead just wait for the frontend to be in a state different than
XenbusStateConnected in order to proceed with the shutdown. Also, it is
wrong to call xbb_detach directly because it destroys the lock which can
still be used by xbb_frontend_changed.

blkback: add support for hotplug scripts

Hotplug scripts are needed in order to use fancy disk configurations in xl,
like iSCSI disks. The job of hotplug scripts is to locally attach the disk
and present it to blkback as a block device or a regular file.

This change introduces a new xenstore node in the blkback hierarchy, called
"physical-device-path". This is a straigh replacement for the "params" node,
which was used before.

Hotplug scripts will need to read the "params" node, perform whatever
actions are necessary and then write the "physical-device-path" node. The
hotplug script is also in charge of detaching the disk once the domain has
been shutdown.

Improve performance and functionality of the bitstring(3) api

Two new functions are provided, bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(), which allow
for efficient searching of set or cleared bits starting from any bit offset
within the bit string.

Performance is improved by operating on longs instead of bytes and using
ffsl() for searches within a long. ffsl() is a compiler builtin in both
clang and gcc for most architectures, converting what was a brute force
while loop search into a couple of instructions.

All of the bitstring(3) API continues to be contained in the header file.
Some of the functions are large enough that perhaps they should be uninlined
and moved to a library, but that is beyond the scope of this commit.

sys/sys/bitstring.h:
Convert the majority of the existing bit string implementation from
macros to inline functions.

Properly protect the implementation from inadvertant macro expansion
when included in a user's program by prefixing all private
macros/functions and local variables with '_'.

Add bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(). Implement bit_ffs() and
bit_ffc() in terms of their "at" counterparts.

Provide a kernel implementation of bit_alloc(), making the full API
usable in the kernel.

Improve code documenation.

share/man/man3/bitstring.3:
Add pre-exisiting API bit_ffc() to the synopsis.

Document new APIs.

Document the initialization state of the bit strings
allocated/declared by bit_alloc() and bit_decl().

Correct documentation for bitstr_size(). The original code comments
indicate the size is in bytes, not "elements of bitstr_t". The new
implementation follows this lead. Only hastd assumed "elements"
rather than bytes and it has been corrected.

unrb.busy, which caches the number of bits set in unrb.map. When
INVARIANTS are disabled, nothing needs to know that information.
callapse_unr can be adapted to use bit_ffs and bit_ffc instead.
Eliminating unrb.busy saves memory, simplifies the code, and
provides a slight speedup when INVARIANTS are disabled.

xen-blk{front/back}: remove broken FreeBSD extensions

The FreeBSD extension adds a new request type, called blkif_segment_block
which has a size of 112bytes for both i386 and amd64. This is fine on
amd64, since requests have a size of 112B there also. But this is not true
for i386, where requests have a size of 108B. So on i386 we basically
overrun the ring slot when queuing a request of type blkif_segment_block_t,
which is very bad.

xen: introduce a newbus function to allocate unused memory

In order to map memory from other domains when running on Xen FreeBSD uses
unused physical memory regions. Until now this memory has been allocated
using bus_alloc_resource, but this is not completely safe as we can end up
using unreclaimed MMIO or ACPI regions.

Fix this by introducing a new newbus method that can be used by Xen drivers
to request for unused memory regions. On amd64 we make sure this memory
comes from regions above 4GB in order to prevent clashes with MMIO/ACPI
regions. On i386 there's nothing we can do, so just fall back to the

xen: fix blkback pushing responses before releasing internal resources

Fix a problem where the blockback driver could run out of requests,
despite the fact that we allocate enough request and reqlist
structures to satisfy the maximum possible number of requests.

The problem was that we were sending responses back to the other
end (blockfront) before freeing resources. The Citrix Windows
driver is pretty agressive about queueing, and would queue more I/O
to us immediately after we sent responses to it. We would run into
a resource shortage and stall out I/O until we freed resources.

It isn't clear whether the request shortage condition was an
indirect cause of the I/O hangs we've been seeing between Windows
with the Citrix PV drivers and FreeBSD's blockback, but the above
problem is certainly a bug.

- For kernel compiled only with KDTRACE_HOOKS and not any lock debugging
option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].

[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

Correct blkback handling of the BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE opcode.

Properly round-trip the "operation code" for client requests.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
In xbb_dispatch_dev() when processing a flush request,
correctly set bio->bio_caller1 to the request list (not
bare request) for the operation, as is expected by the
completion handler xbb_bio_done().

In xbb_get_resources(), initialize "operation" in the
driver's internal request object from the client's "ring
request", so it is correct when used to populate the reply
when this operation completes.

Implement vector callback for PVHVM and unify event channel implementations

Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
early in system startup.
- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
interrupt delivery infrastructure.
- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
and HVM guests.
- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
thread.
- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
be used to optimize MSI.

Several enhancements to the Xen block back driver.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
o Implement front-end request coalescing. This greatly improves the
performance of front-end clients that are unaware of the dynamic
request-size/number of requests negotiation available in the
FreeBSD backend driver. This required a large restructuring
in how this driver records in-flight transactions and how those
transactions are mapped into kernel KVA. For example, the driver
now includes a mini "KVA manager" that allocates ranges of
contiguous KVA to patches of requests that are physically
contiguous in the backing store so that a single bio or UIO
segment can be used to represent the I/O.

o Refuse to open any backend files or devices if the system
has yet to mount root. This avoids a panic.

o Properly handle "onlined" devices. An "onlined" backend
device stays attached to its backing store across front-end
disconnections. This feature is intended to reduce latency
when a front-end does a hand-off to another driver (e.g.
PV aware bootloader to OS kernel) or during a VM reboot.

o Harden the driver against a pathological/buggy front-end
by carefully vetting front-end XenStore data such as the
front-end state.

o Add sysctls that report the negotiated number of
segments per-request and the number of requests that
can be concurrently in flight.

Extend the Xen blkif API: Negotiable request size and number of
requests.

This change extends the information recorded in the XenStore
allowing block front/back devices to negotiate for optimal I/O
parameters. This has been achieved without sacrificing backward
compatibility with drivers that are unaware of these protocol
enhancements. The extensions center around the connection protocol
which now includes these additions:

o The back-end device publishes its maximum supported values for,
request I/O size, the number of page segments that can be
associated with a request, the maximum number of requests that
can be concurrently active, and the maximum number of pages that
can be in the shared request ring. These values are published
before the back-end enters the XenbusStateInitWait state.

o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter either the InitWait
or Initialize state. At this point, the front end limits it's
own capabilities to the lesser of the values it finds published
by the backend, it's own maximums, or, should any back-end data
be missing in the store, the values supported by the original
protocol. It then initializes it's internal data structures
including allocation of the shared ring, publishes its maximum
capabilities to the XenStore and transitions to the Initialized
state.

o The back-end waits for the front-end to enter the Initalized
state. At this point, the back end limits it's own capabilities
to the lesser of the values it finds published by the frontend,
it's own maximums, or, should any front-end data be missing in
the store, the values supported by the original protocol. It
then initializes it's internal data structures, attaches to the
shared ring and transitions to the Connected state.

o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter the Connnected
state, transitions itself to the connected state, and can
commence I/O.

Although an updated front-end driver must be aware of the back-end's
InitWait state, the back-end has been coded such that it can
tolerate a front-end that skips this step and transitions directly
to the Initialized state without waiting for the back-end.

o Increase BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST to 255. This is
the maximum number possible without changing the blkif
request header structure (nr_segs is a uint8_t).

o Add two new constants:
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_HEADER_BLOCK, and
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_SEGMENT_BLOCK. These respectively
indicate the number of segments that can fit in the first
ring-buffer entry of a request, and for each subsequent
(sg element only) ring-buffer entry associated with the
"header" ring-buffer entry of the request.

o Add the blkif_request_segment_t typedef for segment
elements.

o Add the BLKRING_GET_SG_REQUEST() macro which wraps the
RING_GET_REQUEST() macro and returns a properly cast
pointer to an array of blkif_request_segment_ts.

o Add the BLKIF_SEGS_TO_BLOCKS() macro which calculates the
number of ring entries that will be consumed by a blkif
request with the given number of segments.

sys/xen/blkif.h:
o Update for changes in interface/io/blkif.h macros.

o Update the BLKIF_MAX_RING_REQUESTS() macro to take the
ring size as an argument to allow this calculation on
multi-page rings.

o Add a companion macro to BLKIF_MAX_RING_REQUESTS(),
BLKIF_RING_PAGES(). This macro determines the number of
ring pages required in order to support a ring with the
supplied number of request blocks.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
o Negotiate with the other-end with the following limits:
Reqeust Size: MAXPHYS
Max Segments: (MAXPHYS/PAGE_SIZE) + 1
Max Requests: 256
Max Ring Pages: Sufficient to support Max Requests with
Max Segments.

o Dynamically allocate request pools and segemnts-per-request.

o Update ring allocation/attachment code to support a
multi-page shared ring.

o Update routines that access the shared ring to handle
multi-block requests.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
o Track blkfront allocations in a blkfront driver specific
malloc pool.

o Strip out XenStore transaction retry logic in the
connection code. Transactions only need to be used when
the update to multiple XenStore nodes must be atomic.
That is not the case here.

o Fully disable blkif_resume() until it can be fixed
properly (it didn't work before this change).

o Destroy bus-dma objects during device instance tear-down.

o Properly handle backend devices with powef-of-2 sector
sizes larger than 512b.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
Advertise support for and implement the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
and BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE blkif opcodes using BIO_FLUSH and
the BIO_ORDERED attribute of bios.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
Fix various bugs in blkfront.

o gnttab_alloc_grant_references() returns 0 for success and
non-zero for failure. The check for < 0 is a leftover
Linuxism.

o When we negotiate with blkback and have to reduce some of our
capabilities, print out the original and reduced capability before
changing the local capability. So the user now gets the correct
information.

o Fix blkif_restart_queue_callback() formatting. Make sure we hold
the mutex in that function before calling xb_startio().

o Fix a couple of KASSERT()s.

o Fix a check in the xb_remove_* macro to be a little more specific.

sys/xen/gnttab.h:
sys/xen/gnttab.c:
Define GNTTAB_LIST_END publicly as GRANT_REF_INVALID.

sys/dev/xen/netfront/netfront.c:
Use GRANT_REF_INVALID instead of driver private definitions of the
same constant.

sys/xen/gnttab.h:
sys/xen/gnttab.c:
Add the gnttab_end_foreign_access_references() API.

This API allows a client to batch the release of an array of grant
references, instead of coding a private for loop. The implementation
takes advantage of this batching to reduce lock overhead to one
acquisition and release per-batch instead of per-freed grant reference.

While here, reduce the duration the gnttab_list_lock is held during
gnttab_free_grant_references() operations. The search to find the
tail of the incoming free list does not rely on global state and so
can be performed without holding the lock.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/evtchn.c:
sys/dev/xen/evtchn/evtchn.c:
sys/xen/xen_intr.h:
o Implement the bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler API for HVM mode.
This allows an HVM domain to serve back end devices to other domains.
This API is already implemented for PV mode.

o Synchronize the API between HVM and PV.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/xenpci.c:
o Scan the full region of CPUID space in which the Xen VMM interface
may be implemented. On systems using SuSE as a Dom0 where the
Viridian API is also exported, the VMM interface is above the region
we used to search.

o Pass through bus_alloc_resource() calls so that XenBus drivers
attaching on an HVM system can allocate unused physical address
space from the nexus. The block back driver makes use of this
facility.

sys/i386/xen/xen_machdep.c:
Use the correct type for accessing the statically mapped xenstore
metadata.

sys/xen/interface/hvm/params.h:
sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
Move hvm_get_parameter() to the correct global header file instead
of as a private method to the XenStore.

sys/xen/interface/io/protocols.h:
Sync with vendor.

sys/xeninterface/io/ring.h:
Add macro for calculating the number of ring pages needed for an N
deep ring.

To avoid duplication within the macros, create and use the new
__RING_HEADER_SIZE() macro. This macro calculates the size of the
ring book keeping struct (producer/consumer indexes, etc.) that
resides at the head of the ring.

Add the __RING_PAGES() macro which calculates the number of shared
ring pages required to support a ring with the given number of
requests.

These APIs are used to support the multi-page ring version of the
Xen block API.

sys/xeninterface/io/xenbus.h:
Add Comments.

sys/xen/xenbus/...
o Refactor the FreeBSD XenBus support code to allow for both front and
backend device attachments.

o Make use of new config_intr_hook capabilities to allow front and back
devices to be probed/attached in parallel.

o Fix bugs in probe/attach state machine that could cause the system to
hang when confronted with a failure either in the local domain or in
a remote domain to which one of our driver instances is attaching.

o Publish all required state to the XenStore on device detach and
failure. The majority of the missing functionality was for serving
as a back end since the typical "hot-plug" scripts in Dom0 don't
handle the case of cleaning up for a "service domain" that is not
itself.

o Add dynamic sysctl nodes exposing the generic ivars of
XenBus devices.

o Add doxygen style comments to the majority of the code.

o Cleanup types, formatting, etc.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb.c:
Common code used by both front and back XenBus busses.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_if.m:
Method definitions for a XenBus bus.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_front.c:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_back.c:
XenBus bus specialization for front and back devices.

# a56fe095 20-Aug-2009 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

# 444b9186 02-Aug-2009 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

Make the newbus subsystem Giant free by adding the new newbus sxlock.
The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.

Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.

For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.

Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.

Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

# a4611ab6 28-Jan-2009 Ed Schouten <ed@FreeBSD.org>

Last step of splitting up minor and unit numbers: remove minor().

Inside the kernel, the minor() function was responsible for obtaining
the device minor number of a character device. Because we made device
numbers dynamically allocated and independent of the unit number passed
to make_dev() a long time ago, it was actually a misnomer. If you really
want to obtain the device number, you should use dev2udev().

We already converted all the drivers to use dev2unit() to obtain the
device unit number, which is still used by a lot of drivers. I've
noticed not a single driver passes NULL to dev2unit(). Even if they
would, its behaviour would make little sense. This is why I've removed
the NULL check.

Ths commit removes minor(), minor2unit() and unit2minor() from the
kernel. Because there was a naming collision with uminor(), we can
rename umajor() and uminor() back to major() and minor(). This means
that the makedev(3) manual page also applies to kernel space code now.

I suspect umajor() and uminor() isn't used that often in external code,
but to make it easier for other parties to port their code, I've
increased __FreeBSD_version to 800062.
