I don't know how expensive it is calling __find_linux_pte() may times
for a 2M or 1G page when we know we've already invalidated the mapping?
Could be improved with:
end_gpa = (memslot->base_gfn + memslot->npages) << PAGE_SHIFT;
for (; gpa < end_gpa; gpa += (1UL << shift)) {
...
if (!shift)
shift = PAGE_SHIFT;

Hi,
this part introduces a regression in QEMU test suite.

I reproduce the problem in QEMU 4.2 build directory with :
sudo rmmod kvm_hv
sudo modprobe kvm_hv
make check-qtest-ppc64
or once the test binary is built with
sudo rmmod kvm_hv
sudo modprobe kvm_hv
export QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64
tests/qtest/migration-test
The sub-test is "/migration/validate_uuid_error" that generates some
memory stress with a SLOF program in the source guest and fails because
of a mismatch with the destination guest. So the source guest continues
to execute the stress program while the migration is aborted.
Another way to reproduce the problem is:
Source guest:
sudo rmmod kvm-hv
sudo modprobe kvm-hv
qemu-system-ppc64 -display none -accel kvm -name source -m 256M \
-nodefaults -prom-env use-nvramrc?=true \
-prom-env 'nvramrc=hex ." _" begin 6400000 100000 \
do i c@ 1 + i c! 1000 +loop ." B" 0 until' -monitor \
stdio
Destination guest (on the same host):
qemu-system-ppc64 -display none -accel kvm -name source -m 512M \
-nodefaults -monitor stdio -incoming tcp:0:4444
Then in source guest monitor:
(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:4444
The migration intentionally fails because of a memory size mismatch and
the warning is generated in the host kernel log.
It was not detected earlier because the problem is only detected with a
test added in qemu-4.2.0 [2] with THP enabled that starts a migration
and fails, so the memory stress program continues to run in the source
guest while the dirty log bitmap is released. The problem cannot be
shown with qemu-5.0 because a change in the migration speed has been
added [3]
The problem seems to happen because QEMU modifies the memory map while a
vCPU is running:
(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:4444

This is part of the cleanup function after the migration has failed:
migration_iteration_finish
migrate_fd_cleanup_schedule()
migrate_fd_cleanup_bh
...
migrate_fd_cleanup
qemu_savevm_state_cleanup
ram_save_cleanup
memory_global_dirty_log_stop
memory_global_dirty_log_do_stop
..
If I pause the VM in qemu_savevm_state_cleanup() while save_cleanup()
functions are called (ram_save_cleanup()), the warning disappears.
Any idea?

Then in source guest monitor:
(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:4444
The migration intentionally fails because of a memory size mismatch and
the warning is generated in the host kernel log.
It was not detected earlier because the problem is only detected with a
test added in qemu-4.2.0 [2] with THP enabled that starts a migration
and fails, so the memory stress program continues to run in the source
guest while the dirty log bitmap is released. The problem cannot be
shown with qemu-5.0 because a change in the migration speed has been
added [3]
The problem seems to happen because QEMU modifies the memory map while a
vCPU is running:

This is part of the cleanup function after the migration has failed:

If I pause the VM in qemu_savevm_state_cleanup() while save_cleanup()

Any idea?

I built QEMU 4.2 and tried all three methods you list without seeing
the problem manifest itself. Is there any other configuration
regarding THP or anything necessary?
I was using the patch below, which you could try also, since you are
better able to trigger the problem. I never saw the "flush_memslot
was necessary" message nor the WARN_ON. If you see the flush_memslot
message then that will give us a clue as to where the problem is
coming from.

Paul.

I have now managed to reproduce the problem locally, and I have an
explanation for what's going on. QEMU turns on dirty tracking for the
memslot for the VM's RAM, and KVM flushes the mappings from the
partition-scoped page table, and then proceeds to fill it up with 64k
page mappings due to page faults as the VM runs.
Then QEMU turns dirty tracking off, while the VM is still running.
The new memslot, with the dirty tracking bit clear, becomes visible to
page faults before we get to the kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region_hv()
function. Thus, page faults occurring during the interval between the
calls to install_new_memslots() and kvm_arch_commit_memory_region()
will decide to install a 2MB page if there is a THP on the host side.
This will hit the case in kvmppc_create_pte() where it wants to
install a 2MB leaf PTE but there is a page table pointer there
already. It calls kvmppc_unmap_free_pmd_entry_table(), which calls
kvmppc_unmap_free_pte(), which finds the existing 64k PTEs and
generates the warning.
Now, the code in kvmppc_unmap_free_pte() does the right thing, in that
it calls kvmppc_unmap_pte to deal with the PTE it found. The warning
was just an attempt to catch code bugs rather than an indication of
any immediate and obvious problem. Since we now know of one situation
where this can legitimately happen, I think we should just take out
the WARN_ON_ONCE, along with the scary comment. If people want to be
more paranoid than that, we could add a check that the existing PTEs
all map sub-pages of the 2MB page that we're about to map.
There is another race which is possible, which is that when turning on
dirty page tracking, a parallel page fault reads the memslot flags
before the new memslots are installed, and inserts its PTE after
kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region_hv has flushed the memslot. In that
case, we would have a 2MB PTE left over, which would result in coarser
dirty tracking granularity for that 2MB page. I think this would be
very hard to hit in practice, and that having coarser dirty tracking
granularity for one 2MB page of the VM would not cause any practical
problem.
That race could be closed by bumping the kvm->mmu_notifier_seq while
the kvm->mmu_lock is held in kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot().
Thoughts?
Paul.
