Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y] s390/virtio_ccw: Don't allocate/assign airqs for non-existing queues
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 18:15:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250425161512.2188405-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025041737-impart-slacker-8722@gregkh>
If we finds a vq without a name in our input array in
virtio_ccw_find_vqs(), we treat it as "non-existing" and set the vq pointer
to NULL; we will not call virtio_ccw_setup_vq() to allocate/setup a vq.
Consequently, we create only a queue if it actually exists (name != NULL)
and assign an incremental queue index to each such existing queue.
However, in virtio_ccw_register_adapter_ind()->get_airq_indicator() we
will not ignore these "non-existing queues", but instead assign an airq
indicator to them.
Besides never releasing them in virtio_ccw_drop_indicators() (because
there is no virtqueue), the bigger issue seems to be that there will be a
disagreement between the device and the Linux guest about the airq
indicator to be used for notifying a queue, because the indicator bit
for adapter I/O interrupt is derived from the queue index.
The virtio spec states under "Setting Up Two-Stage Queue Indicators":
... indicator contains the guest address of an area wherein the
indicators for the devices are contained, starting at bit_nr, one
bit per virtqueue of the device.
And further in "Notification via Adapter I/O Interrupts":
For notifying the driver of virtqueue buffers, the device sets the
bit in the guest-provided indicator area at the corresponding
offset.
For example, QEMU uses in virtio_ccw_notify() the queue index (passed as
"vector") to select the relevant indicator bit. If a queue does not exist,
it does not have a corresponding indicator bit assigned, because it
effectively doesn't have a queue index.
Using a virtio-balloon-ccw device under QEMU with free-page-hinting
disabled ("free-page-hint=off") but free-page-reporting enabled
("free-page-reporting=on") will result in free page reporting
not working as expected: in the virtio_balloon driver, we'll be stuck
forever in virtballoon_free_page_report()->wait_event(), because the
waitqueue will not be woken up as the notification from the device is
lost: it would use the wrong indicator bit.
Free page reporting stops working and we get splats (when configured to
detect hung wqs) like:
INFO: task kworker/1:3:463 blocked for more than 61 seconds.
Not tainted 6.14.0 #4
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

There was recently a discussion [1] whether the "holes" should be
treated differently again, effectively assigning also non-existing
queues a queue index: that should also fix the issue, but requires other
workarounds to not break existing setups.
Let's fix it without affecting existing setups for now by properly ignoring
the non-existing queues, so the indicator bits will match the queue
indexes.
