      KVM: nVMX: Change KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS to signal vmcs12 is copied from eVMCS · 323d73a8
      Liran Alon authored 
      Currently KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is used to signal that eVMCS
capability is enabled on vCPU.
As indicated by vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled.

This is quite bizarre as userspace VMM should make sure to expose
same vCPU with same CPUID values in both source and destination.
In case vCPU is exposed with eVMCS support on CPUID, it is also
expected to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS capability.
Therefore, KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is redundant.

KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is currently used on restore path
(vmx_set_nested_state()) only to enable eVMCS capability in KVM
and to signal need_vmcs12_sync such that on next VMEntry to guest
nested_sync_from_vmcs12() will be called to sync vmcs12 content
into eVMCS in guest memory.
However, because restore nested-state is rare enough, we could
have just modified vmx_set_nested_state() to always signal
need_vmcs12_sync.

From all the above, it seems that we could have just removed
the usage of KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS. However, in order to preserve
backwards migration compatibility, we cannot do that.
(vmx_get_nested_state() needs to signal flag when migrating from
new kernel to old kernel).

Returning KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS when just vCPU have eVMCS enabled
have a bad side-effect of userspace VMM having to send nested-state
from source to destination as part of migration stream. Even if
guest have never used eVMCS as it doesn't even run a nested
hypervisor workload. This requires destination userspace VMM and
KVM to support setting nested-state. Which make it more difficult
to migrate from new host to older host.
To avoid this, change KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS to signal eVMCS is
not only enabled but also active. i.e. Guest have made some
eVMCS active via an enlightened VMEntry. i.e. vmcs12 is copied
from eVMCS and therefore should be restored into eVMCS resident
in memory (by copy_vmcs12_to_enlightened()).

      KVM: nVMX: Allow restore nested-state to enable eVMCS when vCPU in SMM · 65b712f1
      Liran Alon authored 
      As comment in code specifies, SMM temporarily disables VMX so we cannot
be in guest mode, nor can VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME be pending.

However, code currently assumes that these are the only flags that can be
set on kvm_state->flags. This is not true as KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS
can also be set on this field to signal that eVMCS should be enabled.

Therefore, fix code to check for guest-mode and pending VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME
explicitly.

      KVM: x86: degrade WARN to pr_warn_ratelimited · 3f16a5c3
      Paolo Bonzini authored 
      This warning can be triggered easily by userspace, so it should certainly not
cause a panic if panic_on_warn is set.

      NFS/flexfiles: Use the correct TCP timeout for flexfiles I/O · 68f46159

      Fix a typo where we're confusing the default TCP retrans value
(NFS_DEF_TCP_RETRANS) for the default TCP timeout value.

      SUNRPC: Fix up calculation of client message length · 7e3d3620
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      In the case where a record marker was used, xs_sendpages() needs
to return the length of the payload + record marker so that we
operate correctly in the case of a partial transmission.
When the callers check return value, they therefore need to
take into account the record marker length.

      Pull pidfd fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "Userspace tools and libraries such as strace or glibc need a cheap and
  reliable way to tell whether CLONE_PIDFD is supported. The easiest way
  is to pass an invalid fd value in the return argument, perform the
  syscall and verify the value in the return argument has been changed
  to a valid fd.

  However, if CLONE_PIDFD is specified we currently check if pidfd == 0
  and return EINVAL if not.

  The check for pidfd == 0 was originally added to enable us to abuse
  the return argument for passing additional flags along with
  CLONE_PIDFD in the future.

  However, extending legacy clone this way would be a terrible idea and
  with clone3 on the horizon and the ability to reuse CLONE_DETACHED
  with CLONE_PIDFD there's no real need for this clutch. So remove the
  pidfd == 0 check and help userspace out.

  Also, accordig to Al, anon_inode_getfd() should only be used past the
  point of no failure and ksys_close() should not be used at all since
  it is far too easy to get wrong. Al's motto being "basically, once
  it's in descriptor table, it's out of your control". So Al's patch
  switches back to what we already had in v1 of the original patchset
  and uses a anon_inode_getfile() + put_user() + fd_install() sequence
  in the success path and a fput() + put_unused_fd() in the failure
  path.

  The other two changes should be trivial"
