This patch removes grant transfer releasing code from netfront, and uses
gnttab_end_foreign_access to end grant access since
gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref may fail when the grant entry is
currently used for reading or writing.
* clean up grant transfer code kept from old netfront(2.6.18) which grants
pages for access/map and transfer. But grant transfer is deprecated in current
netfront, so remove corresponding release code for transfer.
* fix resource leak, release grant access (through gnttab_end_foreign_access)
and skb for tx/rx path, use get_page to ensure page is released when grant
access is completed successfully.
Xen-blkfront/xen-tpmfront/xen-pcifront also have similar issue, but patches
for them will be created separately.
V6: Correct subject line and commit message.
V5: Remove unecessary change in xennet_end_access.
V4: Revert put_page in gnttab_end_foreign_access, and keep netfront change in
single patch.
V3: Changes as suggestion from David Vrabel, ensure pages are not freed untill
grant acess is ended.
V2: Improve patch comments.

Currently we're calling it from under RCU context, however we're using some
functions that require rtnl to be held.
Fix this by restructuring the locking - don't call it under any locks,
aquire rcu_read_lock() if we're sending _only_ (i.e. we have the active
slave present), and use rtnl locking otherwise - if we need to modify
(in)active flags of a slave.

Submission d9aee59 "bnx2x: Don't release PCI bars on shutdown" separated
the PCI remove and shutdown flows, but pci_disable_device() is still
being called on both.
As a result, a dev_WARN_ONCE will be hit during shutdown for every bnx2x
VF probed on a hypervisor (as its shutdown callback will be called and later
pci_disable_sriov() will call its remove callback).
This calls the pci_disable_device() only on the remove flow.

As part of a workaround for a hardware erratum in the SFC9100 family
(SF bug 35388), the TX_DESC_UPD_DWORD register address is also used
for communicating with the event block, and only descriptor pointer
values < 2048 are valid.
If the TX DMA ring size is increased to 4096 descriptors (which the
firmware still allows) then we may write a descriptor pointer
value >= 2048, which has entirely different and undesirable effects!
Limit the TX DMA ring size correctly when this workaround is in
effect.

If we have EEH error happens to the adapter and we have to remove
it from the system for some reasons (e.g. more than 5 EEH errors
detected from the device in last hour), the adapter will be disabled
for towice separately by eeh_err_detected() and remove_one(), which
will incur following unexpected backtrace. The patch tries to avoid
it.

- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000 events (2^17),
16 different event priorities, improved fairness in event latency through
the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized
disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices
of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of
requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the
pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations."
(from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
- Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
- Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
- Refactors in event channels.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.
Features:
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000
events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in
event latency through the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with
paravirtualized disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and
timers, no emulated devices of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS
or legacy boot — but instead of requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM
hardware extensions to virtualize the pagetables, as well as system
calls and other privileged operations." (from "The
Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
- Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
- Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
- Refactors in event channels"
