There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.
Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.
Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly. If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.
In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().
Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.
The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net'
which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage
in 'net-next'.

In the case when a frontend only negotiates a single queue with xen-
netback it is possible for a skbuff with a s/w hash to result in a
hash extra_info segment being sent to the frontend even when no hash
algorithm has been configured. (The ndo_select_queue() entry point makes
sure the hash is not set if no algorithm is configured, but this entry
point is not called when there is only a single queue). This can result
in a frontend that is unable to handle extra_info segments being given
such a segment, causing it to crash.
This patch fixes the problem by clearing the hash in ndo_start_xmit()
instead, which is clearly guaranteed to be called irrespective of the
number of queues.

xenvif_hash_init() was called.
This patch brings the call to xenvif_deinit_hash() in

it is only called if xenvif_init_hash() was called previously.

Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet
multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows
the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets
which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared
ring.
The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies
the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal
necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h.
To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list
arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries.
This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future.
If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD
sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

leave the guest Rx thread spinning, wasting CPU time. Commit
ecf08d2dbb (xen-netback: reintroduce

cond_resched() from this path.
Since a fatal error is non-recoverable, just allow the guest Rx thread

Commit bc96f648df (xen-netback: make
feature-rx-notify mandatory) incorrectly assumed that there were no
frontends in use that did not support this feature. But the frontend
driver in MiniOS does not and since this is used by (qemu) stubdoms,
these stopped working.
Netback sort of works as-is in this mode except:
- If there are no Rx requests and the internal Rx queue fills, only
the drain timeout will wake the thread. The default drain timeout
of 10 s would give unacceptable pauses.
- If an Rx stall was detected and the internal Rx queue is drained,
then the Rx thread would never wake.
Handle these two cases (when feature-rx-notify is disabled) by:
- Reducing the drain timeout to 30 ms.
- Disabling Rx stall detection.

If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and
turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being
queued and drained when they expire.
A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a
an extended period of time (default 60 s).
If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the
expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The
carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.
When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state
and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and
it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are
discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken.
1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not
consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx
queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound.
The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill
leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S
slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback
queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer
slots.
2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the
(host) Tx queue is not stopped.
3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback
will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking
the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with
only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might
not fit in this).
The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib,
enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started
based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory
used by packets on the internal queue.
This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be
removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest
Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet.
skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the
current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect
when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired
skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can
be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to
wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain
timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets.
Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit.

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.

The original implementation relies on a loop to check if all inflight
packets are freed. Now we have proper reference counting, there's no
need to use loop anymore.

Reference count the number of packets in host stack, so that we don't
stop the deallocation thread too early. If not, we can end up with
xenvif_free permanently waiting for deallocation thread to unmap grefs.

Originally netif_napi_add was in xenvif_init_queue and netif_napi_del
was in xenvif_deinit_queue, while kthreads were handled in
xenvif_connect and xenvif_disconnect. Move netif_napi_add and
netif_napi_del to xenvif_connect and xenvif_disconnect so that they
reside together with kthread operations.

In the patch called "xen-netback: Turn off the carrier if the guest is not able
to receive" NAPI was descheduled when the carrier was set off. That's
not what most of the drivers do, and we don't have any specific reason to do so
as well, so revert that change.

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.

This patch introduces a new state bit VIF_STATUS_CONNECTED to track whether the
vif is in a connected state. Using carrier will not work with the next patch
in this series, which aims to turn the carrier temporarily off if the guest
doesn't seem to be able to receive packets.

This patch adds debugfs capabilities to netback. There used to be a similar
patch floating around for classic kernel, but it used procfs. It is based on a
very similar blkback patch.
It creates xen-netback/[vifname]/io_ring_q[queueno] files, reading them output
various ring variables etc. Writing "kick" into it imitates an interrupt
happened, it can be useful to check whether the ring is just stalled due to a
missed interrupt.
