Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Add a requirement for disabling numa balancing
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 14:44:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240117064441.2633784-1-tao1.su@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In dirty_log_page_splitting_test, vm_get_stat(vm, "pages_4k") has
probability of gradually reducing to 0 after vm exit. The reason is that
the host triggers numa balancing and unmaps the related spte. So, the
number of pages currently mapped in EPT (kvm->stat.pages) is not equal
to the pages touched by the guest, which causes stats_populated.pages_4k
and stats_repopulated.pages_4k in this test are not same, resulting in
failure.
The calltrace of unmapping spte triggered by numa balancing:
handle_changed_spte+0x64b/0x830 [kvm]
tdp_mmu_zap_leafs+0x159/0x290 [kvm]
kvm_tdp_mmu_unmap_gfn_range+0x7b/0xa0 [kvm]
kvm_unmap_gfn_range+0x10f/0x130 [kvm]

kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xe8e/0x1b90 [kvm]
kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x282/0x710 [kvm]
dirty_log_page_splitting_test assumes that kvm->stat.pages and the pages
touched by the guest are the same, but the assumption is no longer true
if numa balancing is enabled. Add a requirement for disabling
numa_balancing to avoid confusing due to test failure.
Actually, all page migration (including numa balancing) will trigger this
issue, e.g. running script:
./x86_64/dirty_log_page_splitting_test &
PID=$!
sleep 1
migratepages $PID 0 1
It is unusual to create above test environment intentionally, but numa
balancing initiated by the kernel will most likely be triggered, at
least in dirty_log_page_splitting_test.
