xen/netback: don't call kfree_skb() with interrupts disabled

It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt
context or with interrupts being disabled. So remove kfree_skb()
from the spin_lock_irqsave() section and use the already existing
"drop" label in xenvif_start_xmit() for dropping the SKB. At the
same time replace the dev_kfree_skb() call there with a call of
dev_kfree_skb_any(), as xenvif_start_xmit() can be called with
disabled interrupts.

This is XSA-424 / CVE-2022-42328 / CVE-2022-42329.

xen/netback: avoid entering xenvif_rx_next_skb() with an empty rx queue

xenvif_rx_next_skb() is expecting the rx queue not being empty, but
in case the loop in xenvif_rx_action() is doing multiple iterations,
the availability of another skb in the rx queue is not being checked.

This can lead to crashes:

xen/netback: don't queue unlimited number of packages

In case a guest isn't consuming incoming network traffic as fast as it
is coming in, xen-netback is buffering network packages in unlimited
numbers today. This can result in host OOM situations.

Commit f48da8b14d04ca8 ("xen-netback: fix unlimited guest Rx internal
queue and carrier flapping") meant to introduce a mechanism to limit
the amount of buffered data by stopping the Tx queue when reaching the
data limit, but this doesn't work for cases like UDP.

When hitting the limit don't queue further SKBs, but drop them instead.
In order to be able to tell Rx packages have been dropped increment the
rx_dropped statistics counter in this case.

It should be noted that the old solution to continue queueing SKBs had
the additional problem of an overflow of the 32-bit rx_queue_len value
would result in intermittent Tx queue enabling.

This is part of XSA-392

xen/netback: fix rx queue stall detection

Commit 1d5d48523900a4b ("xen-netback: require fewer guest Rx slots when
not using GSO") introduced a security problem in netback, as an
interface would only be regarded to be stalled if no slot is available
in the rx queue ring page. In case the SKB at the head of the queued
requests will need more than one rx slot and only one slot is free the
stall detection logic will never trigger, as the test for that is only
looking for at least one slot to be free.

Fix that by testing for the needed number of slots instead of only one
slot being available.

In order to not have to take the rx queue lock that often, store the
number of needed slots in the queue data. As all SKB dequeue operations
happen in the rx queue kernel thread this is safe, as long as the
number of needed slots is accessed via READ/WRITE_ONCE() only and
updates are always done with the rx queue lock held.

Add a small helper for obtaining the number of free slots.

In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving netfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for netback and unmask the event channel only just before
going to sleep waiting for new events.

Make sure not to issue an EOI when none is pending by introducing an
eoi_pending element to struct xenvif_queue.

When no request has been consumed set the spurious flag when sending
the EOI for an interrupt.

xen-netback: fix guest Rx stall detection (after guest Rx refactor)

If a VIF has been ready for rx_stall_timeout (60s by default) and an
Rx ring is drained of all requests an Rx stall will be incorrectly
detected. When this occurs and the guest Rx queue is empty, the Rx
ring's event index will not be set and the frontend will not raise an
event when new requests are placed on the ring, permanently stalling
the VIF.

This is a regression introduced by eb1723a29b9a7 (xen-netback:
refactor guest rx).

Fix this by reinstating the setting of queue->last_rx_time when
placing a packet onto the guest Rx ring.
