f0880e2cb7 Drivers: hv: Never allocate anything besides framebuffer from framebuffer memory region
Passed through PCI device sometimes misbehave on Gen1 VMs when Hyper-V
DRM driver is also loaded. Looking at IOMEM assignment, we can see e.g.

$ cat /proc/iomem
...
f8000000-fffbffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
  f8000000-fbffffff : 0000:00:08.0
    f8000000-f8001fff : bb8c4f33-2ba2-4808-9f7f-02f3b4da22fe
...
fe0000000-fffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
  fe0000000-fe07fffff : bb8c4f33-2ba2-4808-9f7f-02f3b4da22fe
    fe0000000-fe07fffff : 2ba2:00:02.0
      fe0000000-fe07fffff : mlx4_core

the interesting part is the 'f8000000' region as it is actually the
VM's framebuffer:

$ lspci -v

 hyperv_drm 5620e0c7-8062-4dce-aeb7-520c7ef76171: [drm] Cannot request framebuffer, boot fb still active?

Note: "Cannot request framebuffer" is not a fatal error in
hyperv_setup_gen1() as the code assumes there's some other framebuffer
device there but we actually have some other PCI device (mlx4 in this
case) config space there!

The problem appears to be that vmbus_allocate_mmio() can use dedicated
framebuffer region to serve any MMIO request from any device. The
semantics one might assume of a parameter named "fb_overlap_ok"
aren't implemented because !fb_overlap_ok essentially has no effect.
The existing semantics are really "prefer_fb_overlap". This patch
implements the expected and needed semantics, which is to not allocate
from the frame buffer space when !fb_overlap_ok.

Note, Gen2 VMs are usually unaffected by the issue because
framebuffer region is already taken by EFI fb (in case kernel supports
it) but Gen1 VMs may have this region unclaimed by the time Hyper-V PCI
pass-through driver tries allocating MMIO space if Hyper-V DRM/FB drivers
load after it. Devices can be brought up in any sequence so let's
resolve the issue by always ignoring 'fb_mmio' region for non-FB
requests, even if the region is unclaimed.

2a8a8afba0 Drivers: hv: Always reserve framebuffer region for Gen1 VMs
vmbus_reserve_fb() tries reserving framebuffer region iff
'screen_info.lfb_base' is set. Gen2 VMs seem to have it set by EFI
and/or by the kernel EFI FB driver (or, in some edge cases like kexec,
the address where the buffer was moved, see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20201014092429.1415040-1-kasong@redhat.com/)
but on Gen1 VM it depends on bootloader behavior. With grub, it depends
on 'gfxpayload=' setting but in some cases it is observed to be zero.
That being said, relying on 'screen_info.lfb_base' to reserve
framebuffer region is risky. For Gen1 VMs, it should always be
possible to get the address from the dedicated PCI device instead.

Check for legacy PCI video device presence and reserve the whole
region for framebuffer on Gen1 VMs.

500a434fc5 Merge tag 'driver-core-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
  the two major things are:

   - firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
     to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
     to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
     always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
     ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
     system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
     with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
     them.

   - physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
     this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
     common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
     bus types should support this in the future.

  Smaller changes include:

   - driver_override api cleanups and fixes

   - error path cleanups and fixes

   - get_abi script fixes

   - deferred probe timeout changes.

  It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
  reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
  tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
  merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
  any linux-next testing.

  I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
  pull request.

  All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
  other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

The VMbus driver has special case code for running on the first released

versions required for these releases of Hyper-V, and by removing the

82cd4bacff Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix handling of messages with transaction ID of zero
vmbus_request_addr() returns 0 (zero) if the transaction ID passed
to as argument is 0.  This is unfortunate for two reasons: first,
netvsc_send_completion() does not check for a NULL cmd_rqst (before
dereferencing the corresponding NVSP message); second, 0 is a *valid*
value of cmd_rqst in netvsc_send_tx_complete(), cf. the call of
vmbus_sendpacket() in netvsc_send_pkt().

vmbus_request_addr() has included the code in question since its
introduction with commit e8b7db3844 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add
vmbus_requestor data structure for VMBus hardening"); such code was
motivated by the early use of vmbus_requestor by hv_storvsc.  Since
hv_storvsc moved to a tag-based mechanism to generate and retrieve
transaction IDs with commit bf5fd8cae3 ("scsi: storvsc: Use
blk_mq_unique_tag() to generate requestIDs"), vmbus_request_addr()
can be modified to return VMBUS_RQST_ERROR if the ID is 0.  This
change solves the issues in hv_netvsc (and makes the handling of
messages with transaction ID of 0 consistent with the semantics
"the ID is not contained in the requestor/invalid ID").

vmbus_next_request_id(), vmbus_request_addr() should still reserve
the ID of 0 for Hyper-V, because Hyper-V will "ignore" (not respond
to) VMBUS_DATA_PACKET_FLAG_COMPLETION_REQUESTED packets/requests with
transaction ID of 0 from the guest.

Hyper-V may offer an Initial Machine Configuration (IMC) synthetic
device to guest VMs. The device may be used by Windows guests to get
specialization information, such as the hostname.  But the device
is not used in Linux and there is no Linux driver, so it is
unsupported.

Currently, the IMC device GUID is not recognized by the VMbus driver,
which results in an "Unknown GUID" error message during boot. Add
the GUID to the list of known but unsupported devices so that the
error message is not generated. Other than avoiding the error message,
there is no change in guest behavior.

be5802795c Drivers: hv: balloon: Disable balloon and hot-add accordingly
Currently there are known potential issues for balloon and hot-add on
ARM64:

*	Unballoon requests from Hyper-V should only unballoon ranges
	that are guest page size aligned, otherwise guests cannot handle
	because it's impossible to partially free a page. This is a
	problem when guest page size > 4096 bytes.

*	Memory hot-add requests from Hyper-V should provide the NUMA
	node id of the added ranges or ARM64 should have a functional
	memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), otherwise the node id is missing
	for add_memory().

These issues require discussions on design and implementation. In the
meanwhile, post_status() is working and essential to guest monitoring.
Therefore instead of disabling the entire hv_balloon driver, the
ballooning (when page size > 4096 bytes) and hot-add are disabled
accordingly for now. Once the issues are fixed, they can be re-enable in
these cases.

a packet to read) and reading the contents of the packet. The Hyper-V
host uses store-release when updating the write index to ensure that
writes of the packet data are completed first. On the guest side,
the processor can reorder and read the packet data before the write
index, and sometimes get stale packet data. Getting such stale packet
data has been observed in a reproducible case in a VM on ARM64.

Fix this by using virt_load_acquire() to read the write index,
ensuring that reads of the packet data cannot be reordered
before it. Preventing such reordering is logically correct, and
with this change, getting stale data can no longer be reproduced.
