Subject: [PATCH] xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected
Date: Mon,  8 Sep 2014 15:21:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1410182493-23638-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)

blkback does not unmap persistent grants when frontend goes to Closed
state (e.g. when blkfront module is being removed). This leads to the
following in guest's dmesg:

[  343.243825] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x445 still in use!
[  343.243825] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x42a still in use!
...

When load module -> use device -> unload module sequence is performed multiple times
it is possible to hit BUG() condition in blkfront module:

[  343.243825] kernel BUG at drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:954!
[  343.243825] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
[  343.243825] Modules linked in: xen_blkfront(-) ata_generic pata_acpi [last unloaded: xen_blkfront]
...
[  343.243825] Call Trace:
[  343.243825]  [<ffffffff814111ef>] ? unregister_xenbus_watch+0x16f/0x1e0
[  343.243825]  [<ffffffffa0016fbf>] blkfront_remove+0x3f/0x140 [xen_blkfront]
...
[  343.243825] RIP  [<ffffffffa0016aae>] blkif_free+0x34e/0x360 [xen_blkfront]
[  343.243825]  RSP <ffff88001eb8fdc0>

We don't need to keep these grants if we're disconnecting as frontend might already
forgot about them. Solve the issue by moving xen_blkbk_free_caches() call from
xen_blkif_free() to xen_blkif_disconnect().

Now we can see the following:
[  928.590893] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x587 still in use!
[  928.591861] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x372 still in use!
...
[  929.592146] xen:grant_table: freeing g.e. 0x587
[  929.597174] xen:grant_table: freeing g.e. 0x372
...

Backend does not keep persistent grants any more, reconnect works fine.
