Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns.
If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked.
NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the
interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not
initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS.
This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI
add/remove calls").
Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before
binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and
refactor the code with another patch.

Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts
a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again.
This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and
slows down other guests shutdown.
This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer
fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif.
Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to
signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived,
so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest
can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect.
Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit
QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that.

The original code uses netdev->real_num_tx_queues to bookkeep number of
queues and invokes netif_set_real_num_tx_queues to set the number of
queues. However, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues doesn't allow
real_num_tx_queues to be smaller than 1, which means setting the number
to 0 will not work and real_num_tx_queues is untouched.
This is bogus when xenvif_free is invoked before any number of queues is
allocated. That function needs to iterate through all queues to free
resources. Using the wrong number of queues results in NULL pointer
dereference.
So we bookkeep the number of queues in xen-netback to solve this
problem. This fixes a regression introduced by multiqueue patchset in
3.16-rc1.
There's another bug in original code that the real number of RX queues
is never set. In current Xen multiqueue design, the number of TX queues
and RX queues are in fact the same. We need to set the numbers of TX and
RX queues to the same value.
Also remove xenvif_select_queue and leave queue selection to core
driver, as suggested by David Miller.

When the NAPI budget was not all used, xenvif_poll() would call
napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a
race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the
interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by
race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was
running on a different CPU.

The original series for reintroducing grant mapping for netback had a patch [1]
to handle receiving of packets from an another VIF. Grant copy on the receiving
side needs the grant ref of the page to set up the op.
The original patch assumed (wrongly) that the frags array haven't changed. In
the case reported by Sander, the sending guest sent a packet where the linear
buffer and the first frag were under PKT_PROT_LEN (=128) bytes.
xenvif_tx_submit() then pulled up the linear area to 128 bytes, and ditched the
first frag. The receiving side had an off-by-one problem when gathered the grant
refs.
This patch fixes that by checking whether the actual frag's page pointer is the
same as the page in the original frag list. It can handle any kind of changes on
the original frags array, like:
- removing granted frags from the array at any point
- adding local pages to the frags list anywhere
- reordering the frags
It's optimized to the most common case, when there is 1:1 relation between the
frags and the list, plus works optimal when frags are removed from the end or
the beginning.

An old inefficiency of the TX path that we are grant mapping the first slot,
and then copy the header part to the linear area. Instead, doing a grant copy
for that header straight on is more reasonable. Especially because there are
ongoing efforts to make Xen avoiding TLB flush after unmap when the page were
not touched in Dom0. In the original way the memcpy ruined that.
The key changes:
- the vif has a tx_copy_ops array again
- xenvif_tx_build_gops sets up the grant copy operations
- we don't have to figure out whether the header and first frag are on the same
grant mapped page or not
Note, we only grant copy PKT_PROT_LEN bytes from the first slot, the rest (if
any) will be on the first frag, which is grant mapped. If the first slot is
smaller than PKT_PROT_LEN, then we grant copy that, and later __pskb_pull_tail
will pull more from the frags (if any)

When netback discovers frontend is sending malformed packet it will
disables the interface which serves that frontend.
However disabling a network interface involving taking a mutex which
cannot be done in softirq context, so we need to defer this process to
kthread context.
This patch does the following:
1. introduce a flag to indicate the interface is disabled.
2. check that flag in TX path, don't do any work if it's true.
3. check that flag in RX path, turn off that interface if it's true.
The reason to disable it in RX path is because RX uses kthread. After
this change the behavior of netback is still consistent -- it won't do
any TX work for a rogue frontend, and the interface will be eventually
turned off.
Also change a "continue" to "break" after xenvif_fatal_tx_err, as it
doesn't make sense to continue processing packets if frontend is rogue.
This is a fix for XSA-90.

The worse-case estimate for skb ring slot usage in xenvif_rx_action()
fails to take fragment page_offset into account. The page_offset does,
however, affect the number of times the fragmentation code calls
start_new_rx_buffer() (i.e. consume another slot) and the worse-case
should assume that will always return true. This patch adds the page_offset
into the DIV_ROUND_UP for each frag.
Unfortunately some frontends aggressively limit the number of requests
they post into the shared ring so to avoid an estimate that is 'too'
pessimal it is capped at MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to
consume a maximum sized (slot-wise) packet. Probably the reason for that is to
avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish
the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the
shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets
which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend
has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits
onto the ring.
This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size,
and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance
on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up.

Unmapping causes TLB flushing, therefore we should make it in the largest
possible batches. However we shouldn't starve the guest for too long. So if
the guest has space for at least two big packets and we don't have at least a
quarter ring to unmap, delay it for at most 1 milisec.

A malicious or buggy guest can leave its queue filled indefinitely, in which
case qdisc start to queue packets for that VIF. If those packets came from an
another guest, it can block its slots and prevent shutdown. To avoid that, we
make sure the queue is drained in every 10 seconds.
The QDisc queue in worst case takes 3 round to flush usually.

Xen network protocol had implicit dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Netback has to
handle guests sending up to XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX slots. To achieve that:
- create a new skb
- map the leftover slots to its frags (no linear buffer here!)
- chain it to the previous through skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list
- map them
- copy and coalesce the frags into a brand new one and send it to the stack
- unmap the 2 old skb's pages
It's also introduces new stat counters, which help determine how often the guest
sends a packet with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags.
NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until
"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise malicious guests can block
other guests by not releasing their sent packets.

These counters help determine how often the buffers had to be copied. Also
they help find out if packets are leaked, as if "sent != success + fail",
there are probably packets never freed up properly.

"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise Windows guests can't work
properly and malicious guests can block other guests by not releasing their sent
packets.

These became obsolete with grant mapping. I've left intentionally the
indentations in this way, to improve readability of previous patches.

This patch introduces grant mapping on netback TX path. It replaces grant copy
operations, ditching grant copy coalescing along the way. Another solution for
copy coalescing is introduced in "xen-netback: Handle guests with too many
frags", older guests and Windows can broke before that patch applies.
There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the
slots back to the guests when kfree_skb or skb_orphan_frags called. It feeds a
separate dealloc thread, as scheduling NAPI instance from there is inefficient,
therefore we can't do dealloc from the instance.
