[PATCH net-next v7 7/9] xen-netback: Handle guests with too many frags

From: Zoltan Kiss
Date: Thu Mar 06 2014 - 16:50:02 EST


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.

v3:
- adding extra check for frag number
- consolidate alloc_skb's into xenvif_alloc_skb()
- BUG_ON(frag_overflow > MAX_SKB_FRAGS)

v4:
- handle error of skb_copy_expand()

v5:
- ratelimit error messages
- remove a tx_flags setting from xenvif_tx_submit

v6:
- move out handling from tx_submit into a new funciont, as it became quite long
- skb_copy[_expand] allocate a new skb with a huge linear buffer, which is bad
in times of memory pressure. Just make a new frags array and do the copy and
coalesce with skb_copy_bits

v7:
- remove obsolate BUG_ON
- remove stale idx_release
- merge the next patch about stats here
