[PATCH 2/4] Drivers: hv: Support the newly introduced KVP messages in the driver

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Now support the newly defined KVP message types. It turns out that the host
pushes a set of stand key value pairs as soon as the guest opens the KVP channel.
Since we cannot handle these tuples until the user level daemon loads up, defer
reading the KVP channel until the user level daemon is launched.

[PATCH 3/4] Tools: hv: Fully support the new KVP verbs in the user level daemon

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Now fully support the new KVP messages in the user level daemon. Hyper-V defines
multiple persistent pools to which the host can write/read/modify KVP tuples.
In this patch we implement a file for each specified pool, where the KVP tuples
will stored in the guest.

[PATCH 3/4] Tools: hv: Fully support the new KVP verbs in the user level daemon

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Now fully support the new KVP messages in the user level daemon. Hyper-V defines
multiple persistent pools to which the host can write/read/modify KVP tuples.
In this patch we implement a file for each specified pool, where the KVP tuples
will stored in the guest.

[PATCH 4/4] Tools: hv: Support enumeration from all the pools

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

We have supported enumeration only from the AUTO pool. Now support
enumeration from all the available pools.

This block of unreadable text is so nasty.

You could return directly if the msg = kmalloc() fails and pull
everything in one indent level.  It's normally more readable to
handle errors as soon as possible anyway.

Probably that's not enough to make a difference and we'd need to
introduce a new function.

Btw I don't know if utf16s_to_utf8s() counts the NUL char or not.
It feels like maybe we could end up with ->value_size equal to
HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE + 1.

It does not count NUL characters.  If it encounters a NUL character in
the input, it stops right away without copying that character to the
output.  If it reaches the end of the input, it does not add a
terminating NUL character to the output.

The MAX value is set to accommodate the maximum string that will ever
be handled including the string terminator. The function utf16s_to_utf8s()
returns the converted string length but the returned length does not 
include the string terminator (like strlen), hence the "+1".

Dan, I will see if there are other comments on these patches and will
accommodate your suggestion then. If there are no other comments,
would you mind if I addressed your comments here in a separate patch.

The MAX value is set to accommodate the maximum string that will ever
be handled including the string terminator. The function utf16s_to_utf8s()
returns the converted string length but the returned length does not 
include the string terminator (like strlen), hence the "+1".

Dan, I will see if there are other comments on these patches and will
accommodate your suggestion then. If there are no other comments,
would you mind if I addressed your comments here in a separate patch.

sprintf() and friends copy the NUL terminator but utf16s_to_utf8s()
doesn't so the code isn't right and it does seem like maybe we could
end up with a ->value_size equal to HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE +
1.

You are right in that utf16s_to_utf8s() does not copy the string terminator. This
is not an issue in this case since the buffer for the utf8 string is zeroed out to begin
with (this memory was allocated using kzalloc()). The return value of the utf16s_to_utf8s()
is the length of the utf8s string as what would be returned by strlen. I add one to take into account
the string terminator character for further processing. As I said before the MAX value takes into
account the terminating character for all the strings handled.

There is no strlen() involved...  It returns the number of bytes
copied to the output string.  It doesn't copy a NUL.  We pass
HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE bytes as the limit.  So it fills up
the buffer with non-null characters and we have an off-by-one.

> terminator character for further processing. As I said before the

So you're saying that since we control the input string, we'll never
hit the max?  Still, why not pass HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE - 1
to leave room for the NUL just for correctness?  We'd still add one
to the return value but we wouldn't go over the size of the buffer.

Again, I don't really know how utf16s_to_utf8s() works so I might
have misunderstood.

Dan,
I am sorry for not being as precise as I should be:
utf16s_to_utf8s() takes two length parameters - the length of the utf16 string
that is to be converted and the second the length of the utf8 output string.
The windows host manipulates all string in utf16 encoding and the string we get
from the host is guaranteed to be less than or equal to MAX value that we have
including the terminating character. In my code, I simply pass the length of the 
utf16 string as received from the host.

The parameter that I am currently passing MAX length value is the "maxout" 
parameter of the utf16s_utf8s() function. This by definition is the size of the
output buffer and in this case it happens to be MAX characters big.

As I described earlier, with the  host side guarantee that the string we get from
the host is always guaranteed to be less than or equal to MAX length
(including the terminating character), there is no question of going over the
size of the output buffer which is sized based on the host specification.

Thanks Greg. I don't think there are any substantive issues with the remaining

Dan, 

Sorry I could not get back to you earlier. You are right, in that I am trusting
the host! I am of the firm belief that in a virtualized environment, if you don't trust
the host, there is not a whole lot you can do in a guest! I have had this arguments 
with other on this mailing list in the past. Having said that, I think we have spent more
time debating this than we should; your proposal is reasonable and I will go ahead and
re-spin those patches based on your comments. I should be posting them shortly.

Regards,

K. Y

It's not about trusting the host or not trusting the host.  It's
about "if you're going to specify a limitter, it can't be off by one
even if you don't expect to hit the limit".

But thanks for redoing these.

Thank you, for taking the time to review.

[PATCH 0000/0004] drivers: hv

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

This patch-set does some cleanup of the KVP component. Also included is a
patch that will remove artificial limitation on the number of VCPUs that
can be assigned to the Linux guest on Hyper-V. This is a resend of a subset
of the patches that was sent earlier. Of the original 6 patch set,
the first two were applied. I am re-sending the remaining four with
the changes Greg wanted.

Regards,

K. Y
