virtio: clean up features qword/dword terms

2025-12-18T13:00:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9513f25056b22100ddffe24898c587873b0d022c ] virtio pci uses word to mean "16 bits". mmio uses it to mean "32 bits". To avoid confusion, let's avoid the term in core virtio altogether. Just say U64 to mean "64 bit".

vhost: rewind next_avail_head while discarding descriptors

2025-12-06T21:27:35+00:00

commit 779bcdd4b9ae6566f309043c53c946e8ac0015fd upstream. When discarding descriptors with IN_ORDER, we should rewind next_avail_head otherwise it would run out of sync with last_avail_idx. This would cause driver to report "id X is not a head". Fixing this by returning the number of descriptors that is used for each buffer via vhost_get_vq_desc_n() so caller can use the value while discarding descriptors.

vhost-net: flush batched before enabling notifications

2025-09-19T08:15:26+00:00

Commit 8c2e6b26ffe2 ("vhost/net: Defer TX queue re-enable until after sendmsg") tries to defer the notification enabling by moving the logic out of the loop after the vhost_tx_batch() when nothing new is spotted. This caused unexpected side effects as the new logic is reused for several other error conditions. A previous patch reverted 8c2e6b26ffe2. Now, bring the performance back up by flushing batched buffers before enabling notifications.

Revert "vhost/net: Defer TX queue re-enable until after sendmsg"

2025-09-19T08:15:26+00:00

This reverts commit 8c2e6b26ffe243be1e78f5a4bfb1a857d6e6f6d6. It tries to defer the notification enabling by moving the logic out of the loop after the vhost_tx_batch() when nothing new is spotted. This will bring side effects as the new logic would be reused for several other error conditions. One example is the IOTLB: when there's an IOTLB miss, get_tx_bufs() might return -EAGAIN and exit the loop and see there's still available buffers, so it will queue the tx work again until userspace feed the IOTLB entry correctly. This will slowdown the tx processing and trigger the TX watchdog in the guest as reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/9/10/1596. To fix, revert the change. A follow up patch will bring the performance back in a safe way.

vhost-net: unbreak busy polling

2025-09-19T08:15:26+00:00

Commit 67a873df0c41 ("vhost: basic in order support") pass the number of used elem to vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len() to make sure it can signal the used correctly before trying to do busy polling. But it forgets to clear the count, this would cause the count run out of sync with handle_rx() and break the busy polling. Fixing this by passing the pointer of the count and clearing it after the signaling the used. Acked-by: Michael S.

vhost-scsi: fix argument order in tport allocation error message

2025-09-15T22:25:58+00:00

The error log in vhost_scsi_make_tport() prints the arguments in the wrong order, producing confusing output. For example, when creating a target with a name in WWNN format such as "fc.port1234", the log looks like: Emulated fc.port1234 Address: FCP, exceeds max: 64 Instead, the message should report the emulated protocol type first, followed by the configfs name as: Emulated FCP Address: fc.port1234, exceeds max: 64 Fix the argument order so the error log is consistent and clear.

vhost/net: Protect ubufs with rcu read lock in vhost_net_ubuf_put()

2025-08-26T07:38:10+00:00

When operating on struct vhost_net_ubuf_ref, the following execution sequence is theoretically possible: CPU0 is finalizing DMA operation CPU1 is doing VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND // ubufs->refcount == 2 vhost_net_ubuf_put() vhost_net_ubuf_put_wait_and_free(oldubufs) vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait() vhost_net_ubuf_put() int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 1 int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 0 wait_event(ubufs->wait, !atomic_read(&ubufs->refcount)); // no wait occurs here because condition is already true kfree(ubufs); if (unlikely(!r)) wake_up(&ubufs->wait); // use-after-free This leads to use-after-free on ubufs access. This happens because CPU1 skips waiting for wake_up() when refcount is already zero. To prevent that use a read-side RCU critical section in vhost_net_ubuf_put(), as suggested by Hillf Danton. For this lock to take effect, free ubufs with kfree_rcu().
