xen: make remove callback of xen driver void returned

Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void")
forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for
any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to
its caller.

This change is for xen bus based drivers.

Removing 'hotplug-status' in backend_disconnected() means that it will be

it is free to do at any time). The consequence of this is that, when the
frontend attempts to re-connect, the backend gets stuck in 'InitWait'
rather than moving straight to 'Connected' (which it can do because the
hotplug script has already run).
Instead, the 'hotplug-status' mode should be removed in netback_remove()
i.e. when the vif really is going away.

The reasoning in the commit was wrong - the code expected to setup the
watch even if 'hotplug-status' didn't exist. In fact, it relied on the
watch being fired the first time - to check if maybe 'hotplug-status' is
already set to 'connected'. Not registering a watch for non-existing
path (which is the case if hotplug script hasn't been executed yet),
made the backend not waiting for the hotplug script to execute. This in
turns, made the netfront think the interface is fully operational, while
in fact it was not (the vif interface on xen-netback side might not be
configured yet).

This was a workaround for 'hotplug-status' erroneously being removed.
But since that is reverted now, the workaround is not necessary either.

xen-netback: Check for hotplug-status existence before watching

The logic in connect() is currently written with the assumption that
xenbus_watch_pathfmt() will return an error for a node that does not
exist. This assumption is incorrect: xenstore does allow a watch to
be registered for a nonexistent node (and will send notifications
should the node be subsequently created).

As of commit 1f2565780 ("xen-netback: remove 'hotplug-status' once it
has served its purpose"), this leads to a failure when a domU
transitions into XenbusStateConnected more than once. On the first
domU transition into Connected state, the "hotplug-status" node will
be deleted by the hotplug_status_changed() callback in dom0. On the
second or subsequent domU transition into Connected state, the
hotplug_status_changed() callback will therefore never be invoked, and
so the backend will remain stuck in InitWait.

This failure prevents scenarios such as reloading the xen-netfront
module within a domU, or booting a domU via iPXE. There is
unfortunately no way for the domU to work around this dom0 bug.

Fix by explicitly checking for existence of the "hotplug-status" node,
thereby creating the behaviour that was previously assumed to exist.

xen/xenbus: Allow watches discard events before queueing

If handling logics of watch events are slower than the events enqueue

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.

xen-netback: support dynamic unbind/bind

By re-attaching RX, TX, and CTL rings during connect() rather than
assuming they are freshly allocated (i.e. assuming the counters are zero),
and avoiding forcing state to Closed in netback_remove() it is possible
for vif instances to be unbound and re-bound from and to (respectively) a
running guest.

Dynamic unbind/bind is a highly useful feature for a backend module as it
allows it to be unloaded and re-loaded (i.e. updated) without requiring
domUs to be halted.

This has been tested by running iperf as a server in the test VM and
then running a client against it in a continuous loop, whilst also
running:

while true;
do echo vif-$DOMID-$VIF >unbind;
echo down;
rmmod xen-netback;
echo unloaded;
modprobe xen-netback;
cd $(pwd);
brctl addif xenbr0 vif$DOMID.$VIF;
ip link set vif$DOMID.$VIF up;
echo up;
sleep 5;
done

in dom0 from /sys/bus/xen-backend/drivers/vif to continuously unbind,
unload, re-load, re-bind and re-plumb the backend.

Clearly a performance drop was seen but no TCP connection resets were
observed during this test and moreover a parallel SSH connection into the
guest remained perfectly usable throughout.

xen-netback: switch state to InitWait at the end of netback_probe()...

...as the comment above the function states.

The switch to Initialising at the start of the function is somewhat bogus
as the toolstack will have set that initial state anyway. To behave
correctly, a backend should switch to InitWait once it has set up all
xenstore values that may be required by a initialising frontend. This
patch calls backend_switch_state() to make the transition at the
appropriate point.

NOTE: backend_switch_state() ignores errors from xenbus_switch_state()
and so this patch removes an error path from netback_probe(). This
means a failure to change state at this stage (in the absence of
other failures) will leave the device instantiated. This is highly
unlikley to happen as a failure to change state would indicate a
failure to write to xenstore, and that will trigger other error
paths. Also, a 'stuck' device can still be cleaned up using 'unbind'
in any case.

xen-netback: add reference from xenvif to backend_info to facilitate coredump analysis

During coredump analysis, it is not easy to obtain the address of
backend_info in xen-netback.

So far there are two ways to obtain backend_info:

1. Do what xenbus_device_find() does for vmcore to find the xenbus_device
and then derive it from dev_get_drvdata().

2. Extract backend_info from callstack of xenwatch (e.g., netback_remove()
or frontend_changed()).

This patch adds a reference from xenvif to backend_info so that it would be
much more easier to obtain backend_info during coredump analysis.
