commit e679004dec37566f658a255157d3aed9d762a2b7 upstream.

Xen frontends shouldn't BUG() in case of illegal data received from
their backends. So replace the BUG_ON()s when reading illegal data from
the ring page with negative return values.

This is commit e679004dec37566f upstream.

commit a884daa61a7d91650987e855464526aef219590f upstream.

Today netfront will trust the backend to send only sane response data.
In order to avoid privilege escalations or crashes in case of malicious
backends verify the data to be within expected limits. Especially make
sure that the response always references an outstanding request.

Note that only the tx queue needs special id handling, as for the rx
queue the id is equal to the index in the ring page.

Introduce a new indicator for the device whether it is broken and let
the device stop working when it is set. Set this indicator in case the
backend sets any weird data.

<content type='text'>
commit 21631d2d741a64a073e167c27769e73bc7844a2f upstream.

The tx_skb_freelist elements are in a single linked list with the
request id used as link reference. The per element link field is in a
union with the skb pointer of an in use request.

Move the link reference out of the union in order to enable a later
reuse of it for requests which need a populated skb pointer.

Rename add_id_to_freelist() and get_id_from_freelist() to
add_id_to_list() and get_id_from_list() in order to prepare using
those for other lists as well. Define ~0 as value to indicate the end
of a list and place that value into the link for a request not being
on the list.

When freeing a skb zero the skb pointer in the request. Use a NULL
value of the skb pointer instead of skb_entry_is_link() for deciding
whether a request has a skb linked to it.

Remove skb_entry_set_link() and open code it instead as it is really
trivial now.

commit 162081ec33c2686afa29d91bf8d302824aa846c7 upstream.

In order to avoid a malicious backend being able to influence the local
processing of a request build the request locally first and then copy
it to the ring page. Any reading from the request influencing the
processing in the frontend needs to be done on the local instance.

Today blkfront will trust the backend to send only sane response data.
In order to avoid privilege escalations or crashes in case of malicious
backends verify the data to be within expected limits. Especially make
sure that the response always references an outstanding request.

Introduce a new state of the ring BLKIF_STATE_ERROR which will be
switched to in case an inconsistency is being detected. Recovering from
this state is possible only via removing and adding the virtual device
again (e.g. via a suspend/resume cycle).

Make all warning messages issued due to valid error responses rate
limited in order to avoid message floods being triggered by a malicious
backend.

Sync include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with Xen's newest version in
order to get the RING_COPY_RESPONSE() and RING_RESPONSE_PROD_OVERFLOW()
macros.

Note that this will correct the wrong license info by adding the
missing original copyright notice.

commit 629a5d87e26fe96bcaab44cbb81f5866af6f7008 upstream.

Sync include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with Xen's newest version in
order to get the RING_COPY_RESPONSE() and RING_RESPONSE_PROD_OVERFLOW()
macros.

Note that this will correct the wrong license info by adding the
missing original copyright notice.
