      xen/xenbus: Allow watches discard events before queueing · fed1755b
      SeongJae Park authored
      If handling logics of watch events are slower than the events enqueue
      logic and the events can be created from the guests, the guests could
      trigger memory pressure by intensively inducing the events, because it
      will create a huge number of pending events that exhausting the memory.
      
      Fortunately, some watch events could be ignored, depending on its
      handler callback.  For example, if the callback has interest in only one
      single path, the watch wouldn't want multiple pending events.  Or, some
      watches could ignore events to same path.
      
      To let such watches to volutarily help avoiding the memory pressure
      situation, this commit introduces new watch callback, 'will_handle'.  If
      it is not NULL, it will be called for each new event just before
      enqueuing it.  Then, if the callback returns false, the event will be
      discarded.  No watch is using the callback for now, though.

       "A set of x86 and membarrier fixes:
      
         - Correct a few problems in the x86 and the generic membarrier
           implementation. Small corrections for assumptions about visibility
           which have turned out not to be true.
      
         - Make the PAT bits for memory encryption correct vs 4K and 2M/1G
           page table entries as they are at a different location.
      
         - Fix a concurrency issue in the the local bandwidth readout of
           resource control leading to incorrect values
      
         - Fix the ordering of allocating a vector for an interrupt. The order
           missed to respect the provided cpumask when the first attempt of
           allocating node local in the mask fails. It then tries the node
           instead of trying the full provided mask first. This leads to
           erroneous error messages and breaking the (user) supplied affinity
           request. Reorder it.
      
         - Make the INT3 padding detection in optprobe work correctly"

       "This should be it for 5.10.
      
        Mike and Song looked into the warning case, and thankfully it appears
        the fix was pretty trivial - we can just change the md device chunk
        type to unsigned int to get rid of it. They cannot currently be < 0,
        and nobody is checking for that either.
      
        We're reverting the discard changes as the corruption reports came in
        very late, and there's just no time to attempt to deal with it at this
        point. Reverting the changes in question is the right call for 5.10"
