[PATCH 4.15 123/163] xenbus: track caller request id

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>

commit 29fee6eed2811ff1089b30fc579a2d19d78016ab upstream.

Commit fd8aa9095a95 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent
xenstore accesses") optimized xenbus concurrent accesses but in doing so
broke UABI of /dev/xen/xenbus. Through /dev/xen/xenbus applications are in
charge of xenbus message exchange with the correct header and body. Now,
after the mentioned commit the replies received by application will no
longer have the header req_id echoed back as it was on request (see
specification below for reference), because that particular field is being
overwritten by kernel.

struct xsd_sockmsg
{
  uint32_t type;  /* XS_??? */
  uint32_t req_id;/* Request identifier, echoed in daemon's response.  */
  uint32_t tx_id; /* Transaction id (0 if not related to a transaction). */
  uint32_t len;   /* Length of data following this. */

  /* Generally followed by nul-terminated string(s). */
};

Before there was only one request at a time so req_id could simply be
forwarded back and forth. To allow simultaneous requests we need a
different req_id for each message thus kernel keeps a monotonic increasing
counter for this field and is written on every request irrespective of
userspace value.

Forwarding again the req_id on userspace requests is not a solution because
we would open the possibility of userspace-generated req_id colliding with
kernel ones. So this patch instead takes another route which is to
artificially keep user req_id while keeping the xenbus logic as is. We do
that by saving the original req_id before xs_send(), use the private kernel
counter as req_id and then once reply comes and was validated, we restore
back the original req_id.
