      xen/p2m: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to the M2P override functions. · c9ce9e43
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored 
      If the backends, which use these two functions, are compiled as
a module we need these two functions to be exported.

      xen/p2m/m2p/gnttab: Support GNTMAP_host_map in the M2P override. · d5431d52
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored 
      We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the
GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants
operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update"
If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is
"contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that
the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table
(specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should
not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch
we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor
being upset with us:

(XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067
(XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:
(XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228  x86_64  debug=y  Not tainted ]----

and crashing us.

This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest
if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set.

On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter.

Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to
tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since
the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume
that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for
it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future
we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra
accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag.

[v1: Added documentation details, made it return -EOPNOTSUPP instead
 of trying to do a half-way implementation]

      xen/blkback: don't fail empty barrier requests · 8ab52150
      Jan Beulich authored 
      The sector number on empty barrier requests may (will?) be -1, which,
given that it's being treated as unsigned 64-bit quantity, will almost
always exceed the actual (virtual) disk's size.

Inspired by Konrad's "When writting barriers set the sector number to
zero...".

While at it also add overflow checking to the math in vbd_translate().

      cciss: add cciss_tape_cmds module paramter · 8a4ec67b
      Stephen M. Cameron authored 
      This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives
and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel
parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range
of 2 - 16 inclusive.  Previously, the driver limited the number of
commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver
to only 2.  This is to fix the problem that if you had more than
two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all
at the same time.
