Xen devel - Jul 2013 - [PATCH v2] xen-netfront: pull on receive skb may need to happen earlier

Due to commit 3683243b ("xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure
linear area is big enough on RX") xennet_fill_frags() may end up
filling MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 fragments in a receive skb, and only reduce
the fragment count subsequently via __pskb_pull_tail(). That''s a
result of xennet_get_responses() allowing a maximum of one more slot to
be consumed (and intermediately transformed into a fragment) if the
head slot has a size less than or equal to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

Hence we need to adjust xennet_fill_frags() to pull earlier if we
reached the maximum fragment count - due to the described behavior of
xennet_get_responses() this guarantees that at least the first fragment
will get completely consumed, and hence the fragment count reduced.

In order to not needlessly call __pskb_pull_tail() twice, make the
original call conditional upon the pull target not having been reached
yet, and defer the newly added one as much as possible (an alternative
would have been to always call the function right before the call to
xennet_fill_frags(), but that would imply more frequent cases of
needing to call it twice).

v2: Use skb_add_rx_frag() to keep all accounting fields up to date as
    we go (skb->len needing intermediate updating was pointed out by
    Wei Liu and David Miller, shinfo->nr_frags needing updating before
    calling __pskb_pull_tail() was spotted out by Dion Kant).

Jan and Dion, is this a confirmed fix for SuSE kernel?

I complied and tested it, at least it didn''t break things for me. The
tests I ran were 1) scp large_file to domU; 2) iperf from Dom0 to DomU;
3) netperf from Dom0 to DomU.

On the basis that this patch 1) fixes the bug for SuSE kernel (to be
confirmed with Jan); 2) doesn''t break upstream (tested by me).

Of the top of my head I have no confidence in my understanding of what
this is actually going to end up assigned to ->len or ->data_len after
this.

For my benefit, can we do the dumb version please?

Also ref CodingStyle:
        Don''t put multiple assignments on a single line either.  Kernel
coding style
        is super simple.  Avoid tricky expressions.

The rest of it looked OK to me.

Ian.

Dear Wei,

I did thorough testing on the system which revealed the original problem
and I can confirm that it does fix the issue.
