* xen/xenbus: Count pending messages for each watchSeongJae Park2020-12-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a counter of pending messages for each watch in the struct. It is used to skip unnecessary pending messages lookup in 'unregister_xenbus_watch()'. It could also be used in 'will_handle' callback.

* xen/xenbus: Add 'will_handle' callback support in xenbus_watch_path()SeongJae Park2020-12-141-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some code does not directly make 'xenbus_watch' object and call 'register_xenbus_watch()' but use 'xenbus_watch_path()' instead. This commit adds support of 'will_handle' callback in the 'xenbus_watch_path()' and it's wrapper, 'xenbus_watch_pathfmt()'.

* xen/xenbus: Allow watches discard events before queueingSeongJae Park2020-12-141-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If handling logics of watch events are slower than the events enqueue logic and the events can be created from the guests, the guests could trigger memory pressure by intensively inducing the events, because it will create a huge number of pending events that exhausting the memory. Fortunately, some watch events could be ignored, depending on its handler callback. For example, if the callback has interest in only one single path, the watch wouldn't want multiple pending events. Or, some watches could ignore events to same path. To let such watches to volutarily help avoiding the memory pressure situation, this commit introduces new watch callback, 'will_handle'. If it is not NULL, it will be called for each new event just before enqueuing it. Then, if the callback returns false, the event will be discarded. No watch is using the callback for now, though.

* xenbus/backend: Protect xenbus callback with lockSeongJae Park2020-01-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | A driver's 'reclaim_memory' callback can race with 'probe' or 'remove' because it will be called whenever memory pressure is detected. To avoid such race, this commit embeds a spinlock in each 'xenbus_device' and make 'xenbus' to hold the lock while the corresponded callbacks are running.

* xenbus/backend: Add memory pressure handler callbackSeongJae Park2020-01-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Granting pages consumes backend system memory. In systems configured with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lack flexibility. To mitigate such problems, this commit adds a memory reclaim callback to 'xenbus_driver'. If a memory pressure is detected, 'xenbus' requests every backend driver to volunarily release its memory. Note that it would be able to improve the callback facility for more sophisticated handlings of general pressures. For example, it would be possible to monitor the memory consumption of each device and issue the release requests to only devices which causing the pressure. Also, the callback could be extended to handle not only memory, but general resources. Nevertheless, this version of the implementation defers such sophisticated goals as a future work.

* xenbus: limit when state is forced to closedPaul Durrant2019-12-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a driver probe() fails then leave the xenstore state alone. There is no reason to modify it as the failure may be due to transient resource allocation issues and hence a subsequent probe() may succeed. If the driver supports re-binding then only force state to closed during remove() only in the case when the toolstack may need to clean up. This can be detected by checking whether the state in xenstore has been set to closing prior to device removal. NOTE: Re-bind support is indicated by new boolean in struct xenbus_driver, which defaults to false. Subsequent patches will add support to some backend drivers.

Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
