[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 1/2] virtio: Improve vq->broken access to avoid any compiler optimization

[Sasha Levin]

From: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit 60f0779862e4ab943810187752c462e85f5fa371 ]

Currently vq->broken field is read by virtqueue_is_broken() in busy
loop in one context by virtnet_send_command().

vq->broken is set to true in other process context by
virtio_break_device(). Reader and writer are accessing it without any
synchronization. This may lead to a compiler optimization which may
result to optimize reading vq->broken only once.

Hence, force reading vq->broken on each invocation of
virtqueue_is_broken() and also force writing it so that such
update is visible to the readers.

It is a theoretical fix that isn't yet encountered in the field.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 2/2] vringh: Use wiov->used to check for read/write desc order

[Sasha Levin]

From: Neeraj Upadhyay <neeraju@codeaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit e74cfa91f42c50f7f649b0eca46aa049754ccdbd ]

As __vringh_iov() traverses a descriptor chain, it populates
each descriptor entry into either read or write vring iov
and increments that iov's ->used member. So, as we iterate
over a descriptor chain, at any point, (riov/wriov)->used
value gives the number of descriptor enteries available,
which are to be read or written by the device. As all read
iovs must precede the write iovs, wiov->used should be zero
when we are traversing a read descriptor. Current code checks
for wiov->i, to figure out whether any previous entry in the
current descriptor chain was a write descriptor. However,
iov->i is only incremented, when these vring iovs are consumed,
at a later point, and remain 0 in __vringh_iov(). So, correct
the check for read and write descriptor order, to use
wiov->used.
