The current implementation of hv_compose_msi_msg() is incompatible with
the new functionality that allows changing the vCPU a VMBus channel will
interrupt: if this function always calls hv_pci_onchannelcallback() in
the polling loop, the interrupt going to a different CPU could cause
hv_pci_onchannelcallback() to be running simultaneously in a tasklet,
which will break. The current code also has a problem in that it is not
synchronized with vmbus_reset_channel_cb(): hv_compose_msi_msg() could
be accessing the ring buffer via the call of hv_pci_onchannelcallback()
well after the time that vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has finished.
Fix these issues as follows. Disable the channel tasklet before
entering the polling loop in hv_compose_msi_msg() and re-enable it when
done. This will prevent hv_pci_onchannelcallback() from running in a
tasklet on a different CPU. Moreover, poll by always calling
hv_pci_onchannelcallback(), but check the channel callback function for
NULL and invoke the callback within a sched_lock critical section. This
will prevent hv_compose_msi_msg() from accessing the ring buffer after
vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has acquired the sched_lock spinlock.

Since vmbus_chan_sched() dereferences the ring buffer pointer, we have
to make sure that the ring buffer data structures don't get freed while
such dereferencing is happening. Current code does this by sending an
IPI to the CPU that is allowed to access that ring buffer from interrupt
level, cf., vmbus_reset_channel_cb(). But with the new functionality
to allow changing the CPU that a channel will interrupt, we can't be
sure what CPU will be running the vmbus_chan_sched() function for a
particular channel, so the current IPI mechanism is infeasible.
Instead synchronize vmbus_chan_sched() and vmbus_reset_channel_cb() by
using the (newly introduced) per-channel spin lock "sched_lock". Move
the test for onchannel_callback being NULL before the "switch" control
statement in vmbus_chan_sched(), in order to not access the ring buffer
if the vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has been completed on the channel.

The fcopy and vss callback functions could be running in a tasklet
at the same time they are called in hv_poll_channel(). Current code
serializes the invocations of these functions, and their accesses to
the channel ring buffer, by sending an IPI to the CPU that is allowed
to access the ring buffer, cf. hv_poll_channel(). This IPI mechanism
becomes infeasible if we allow changing the CPU that a channel will
interrupt. Instead modify the callback wrappers to always execute
the fcopy and vss callbacks in a tasklet, thus mirroring the solution
for the kvp callback functions adopted since commit a3ade8cc47
("HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in progress").
This will ensure that the callback function can't run on two CPUs at
the same time.

When Hyper-V sends an interrupt to the guest, the guest has to figure
out which channel the interrupt is associated with. Hyper-V sets a bit
in a memory page that is shared with the guest, indicating a particular
"relid" that the interrupt is associated with. The current Linux code
then uses a set of per-CPU linked lists to map a given "relid" to a
pointer to a channel structure.
This design introduces a synchronization problem if the CPU that Hyper-V
will interrupt for a certain channel is changed. If the interrupt comes
on the "old CPU" and the channel was already moved to the per-CPU list
of the "new CPU", then the relid -> channel mapping will fail and the
interrupt is dropped. Similarly, if the interrupt comes on the new CPU
but the channel was not moved to the per-CPU list of the new CPU, then
the mapping will fail and the interrupt is dropped.
Relids are integers ranging from 0 to 2047. The mapping from relids to
channel structures can be done by setting up an array with 2048 entries,
each entry being a pointer to a channel structure (hence total size ~16K
bytes, which is not a problem). The array is global, so there are no
per-CPU linked lists to update. The array can be searched and updated
by loading from/storing to the array at the specified index. With no
per-CPU data structures, the above mentioned synchronization problem is
avoided and the relid2channel() function gets simpler.

A Linux guest have to pick a "connect CPU" to communicate with the
Hyper-V host. This CPU can not be taken offline because Hyper-V does
not provide a way to change that CPU assignment.
Current code sets the connect CPU to whatever CPU ends up running the
function vmbus_negotiate_version(), and this will generate problems if
that CPU is taken offine.
Establish CPU0 as the connect CPU, and add logics to prevents the
connect CPU from being taken offline. We could pick some other CPU,
and we could pick that "other CPU" dynamically if there was a reason to
do so at some point in the future. But for now, #defining the connect
CPU to 0 is the most straightforward and least complex solution.
While on this, add inline comments explaining "why" offer and rescind
messages should not be handled by a same serialized work queue.

VMBus message handlers (channel_message_table) receive a pointer to
'struct vmbus_channel_message_header' and cast it to a structure of their
choice, which is sometimes longer than the header. We, however, don't check
that the message is long enough so in case hypervisor screws up we'll be
accessing memory beyond what was allocated for temporary buffer.
Previously, we used to always allocate and copy 256 bytes from message page
to temporary buffer but this is hardly better: in case the message is
shorter than we expect we'll be trying to consume garbage as some real
data and no memory guarding technique will be able to identify an issue.
Introduce 'min_payload_len' to 'struct vmbus_channel_message_table_entry'
and check against it in vmbus_on_msg_dpc(). Note, we can't require the
exact length as new hypervisor versions may add extra fields to messages,
we only check that the message is not shorter than we expect.

Hyper-V Interrupt Message Page (SIMP) has 16 256-byte slots for
messages. Each message comes with a header (16 bytes) which specifies the
payload length (up to 240 bytes). vmbus_on_msg_dpc(), however, doesn't
look at the real message length and copies the whole slot to a temporary
buffer before passing it to message handlers. This is potentially dangerous
as hypervisor doesn't have to clean the whole slot when putting a new
message there and a message handler can get access to some data which
belongs to a previous message.
Note, this is not currently a problem because all message handlers are
in-kernel but eventually we may e.g. get this exported to userspace.
Note also, that this is not a performance critical path: messages (unlike
events) represent rare events so it doesn't really matter (from performance
point of view) if we copy too much.
Fix the issue by taking into account the real message length. The temporary
buffer allocated by vmbus_on_msg_dpc() remains fixed size for now. Also,
check that the supplied payload length is valid (<= 240 bytes).

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
become split again.
However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
the munmap at the start of the mremap.
A really simple repro can be seen in:

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
