net: hv_netvsc: reject RSS hash key programming without RX indirection table

2026-01-30T09:27:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit d23564955811da493f34412d7de60fa268c8cb50 ]

RSS configuration requires a valid RX indirection table. When the device
reports a single receive queue, rndis_filter_device_add() does not
allocate an indirection table, accepting RSS hash key updates in this
state leads to a hang.

Fix this by gating netvsc_set_rxfh() on ndc->rx_table_sz and return
-EOPNOTSUPP when the table is absent. This aligns set_rxfh with the device
capabilities and prevents incorrect behavior.

hv_netvsc: Fix panic during namespace deletion with VF

2025-08-28T14:28:32+00:00

commit 33caa208dba6fa639e8a92fd0c8320b652e5550c upstream.

The existing code move the VF NIC to new namespace when NETDEV_REGISTER is
received on netvsc NIC. During deletion of the namespace,
default_device_exit_batch() >> default_device_exit_net() is called. When
netvsc NIC is moved back and registered to the default namespace, it
automatically brings VF NIC back to the default namespace. This will cause
the default_device_exit_net() >> for_each_netdev_safe loop unable to detect
the list end, and hit NULL ptr:

commit 5bbc644bbf4e97a05bc0cb052189004588ff8a09 upstream.

init_page_array() now always creates a single page buffer array entry

boundary. As such, the number of page buffer array entries used for
the rndis message must no longer be tracked -- it is always just 1.
Remove the rmsg_pgcnt field and use "1" where the value is needed.

hv_netvsc: Preserve contiguous PFN grouping in the page buffer array

2025-05-22T12:12:20+00:00

commit 41a6328b2c55276f89ea3812069fd7521e348bbf upstream.

Starting with commit dca5161f9bd0 ("hv_netvsc: Check status in
SEND_RNDIS_PKT completion message") in the 6.3 kernel, the Linux
driver for Hyper-V synthetic networking (netvsc) occasionally reports
"nvsp_rndis_pkt_complete error status: 2".[1] This error indicates
that Hyper-V has rejected a network packet transmit request from the
guest, and the outgoing network packet is dropped. Higher level
network protocols presumably recover and resend the packet so there is
no functional error, but performance is slightly impacted. Commit
dca5161f9bd0 is not the cause of the error -- it only added reporting
of an error that was already happening without any notice. The error
has presumably been present since the netvsc driver was originally
introduced into Linux.

The root cause of the problem is that the netvsc driver in Linux may
send an incorrectly formatted VMBus message to Hyper-V when
transmitting the network packet. The incorrect formatting occurs when
the rndis header of the VMBus message crosses a page boundary due to
how the Linux skb head memory is aligned. In such a case, two PFNs are
required to describe the location of the rndis header, even though
they are contiguous in guest physical address (GPA) space. Hyper-V
requires that two rndis header PFNs be in a single "GPA range" data
struture, but current netvsc code puts each PFN in its own GPA range,
which Hyper-V rejects as an error.

The incorrect formatting occurs only for larger packets that netvsc
must transmit via a VMBus "GPA Direct" message. There's no problem
when netvsc transmits a smaller packet by copying it into a pre-
allocated send buffer slot because the pre-allocated slots don't have
page crossing issues.

After commit 14ad6ed30a10 ("net: allow small head cache usage with
large MAX_SKB_FRAGS values") in the 6.14-rc4 kernel, the error occurs
much more frequently in VMs with 16 or more vCPUs. It may occur every
few seconds, or even more frequently, in an ssh session that outputs a
lot of text. Commit 14ad6ed30a10 subtly changes how skb head memory is
allocated, making it much more likely that the rndis header will cross
a page boundary when the vCPU count is 16 or more. The changes in
commit 14ad6ed30a10 are perfectly valid -- they just had the side
effect of making the netvsc bug more prominent.

Current code in init_page_array() creates a separate page buffer array
entry for each PFN required to identify the data to be transmitted.
Contiguous PFNs get separate entries in the page buffer array, and any
information about contiguity is lost.

Fix the core issue by having init_page_array() construct the page
buffer array to represent contiguous ranges rather than individual
pages. When these ranges are subsequently passed to
netvsc_build_mpb_array(), it can build GPA ranges that contain
multiple PFNs, as required to avoid the error "nvsp_rndis_pkt_complete
error status: 2". If instead the network packet is sent by copying
into a pre-allocated send buffer slot, the copy proceeds using the
contiguous ranges rather than individual pages, but the result of the
copying is the same. Also fix rndis_filter_send_request() to construct
a contiguous range, since it has its own page buffer array.

This change has a side benefit in CoCo VMs in that netvsc_dma_map()
calls dma_map_single() on each contiguous range instead of on each
page. This results in fewer calls to dma_map_single() but on larger
chunks of memory, which should reduce contention on the swiotlb.

Since the page buffer array now contains one entry for each contiguous
range instead of for each individual page, the number of entries in
the array can be reduced, saving 208 bytes of stack space in
netvsc_xmit() when MAX_SKG_FRAGS has the default value of 17.

hv_netvsc: Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send VMBus messages

2025-05-22T12:12:20+00:00

commit 4f98616b855cb0e3b5917918bb07b44728eb96ea upstream.

netvsc currently uses vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() to send VMBus
messages. This function creates a series of GPA ranges, each of which
contains a single PFN. However, if the rndis header in the VMBus
message crosses a page boundary, the netvsc protocol with the host
requires that both PFNs for the rndis header must be in a single "GPA
range" data structure, which isn't possible with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). As the first step in fixing this, add a
new function netvsc_build_mpb_array() to build a VMBus message with
multiple GPA ranges, each of which may contain multiple PFNs. Use
vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send this VMBus message to the host.

There's no functional change since higher levels of netvsc don't
maintain or propagate knowledge of contiguous PFNs. Based on its
input, netvsc_build_mpb_array() still produces a separate GPA range
for each PFN and the behavior is the same as with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). But the groundwork is laid for a
subsequent patch to provide the necessary grouping.

hv_netvsc: Fix VF namespace also in synthetic NIC NETDEV_REGISTER event

commit 4c262801ea60c518b5bebc22a09f5b78b3147da2 upstream.

The existing code moves VF to the same namespace as the synthetic NIC
during netvsc_register_vf(). But, if the synthetic device is moved to a
new namespace after the VF registration, the VF won't be moved together.

To make the behavior more consistent, add a namespace check for synthetic
NIC's NETDEV_REGISTER event (generated during its move), and move the VF
if it is not in the same namespace.

hv_netvsc: Don't free decrypted memory

2024-05-17T10:02:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit bbf9ac34677b57506a13682b31a2a718934c0e31 ]

In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.

The netvsc driver could free decrypted/shared pages if
set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the gpadl
to decide whether to free the memory.

hv_netvsc: Register VF in netvsc_probe if NET_DEVICE_REGISTER missed

2024-02-23T08:25:16+00:00

commit 9cae43da9867412f8bd09aee5c8a8dc5e8dc3dc2 upstream.

If hv_netvsc driver is unloaded and reloaded, the NET_DEVICE_REGISTER
handler cannot perform VF register successfully as the register call
is received before netvsc_probe is finished. This is because we
register register_netdevice_notifier() very early( even before
vmbus_driver_register()).
To fix this, we try to register each such matching VF( if it is visible
as a netdevice) at the end of netvsc_probe.

hv_netvsc: Fix race condition between netvsc_probe and netvsc_remove

2024-02-23T08:25:08+00:00

commit e0526ec5360a48ad3ab2e26e802b0532302a7e11 upstream.

In commit ac5047671758 ("hv_netvsc: Disable NAPI before closing the
VMBus channel"), napi_disable was getting called for all channels,
including all subchannels without confirming if they are enabled or not.

This caused hv_netvsc getting hung at napi_disable, when netvsc_probe()
has finished running but nvdev->subchan_work has not started yet.
netvsc_subchan_work() -> rndis_set_subchannel() has not created the
sub-channels and because of that netvsc_sc_open() is not running.
netvsc_remove() calls cancel_work_sync(&nvdev->subchan_work), for which
netvsc_subchan_work did not run.

netif_napi_add() sets the bit NAPI_STATE_SCHED because it ensures NAPI
cannot be scheduled. Then netvsc_sc_open() -> napi_enable will clear the
NAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit, so it can be scheduled. napi_disable() does the
opposite.

Now during netvsc_device_remove(), when napi_disable is called for those
subchannels, napi_disable gets stuck on infinite msleep.

This fix addresses this problem by ensuring that napi_disable() is not
getting called for non-enabled NAPI struct.
But netif_napi_del() is still necessary for these non-enabled NAPI struct
for cleanup purpose.
