[PATCH] [PVOPS] fix gntdev on PAE

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,
this small patch fixes gntdev on Linux pvops kernels:
gnttab_set_map_op and gnttab_set_unmap_op shouldn't take unsigned long
as parameters for machine addresses because they are not big enough on
PAE systems.
This patch fixes the issue using phys_addr_t instead and enables
XEN_GNTDEV compilation again.

BTW gntdev is used by qemu to provide the console backend to pv guests.

Is that recent?  Console had been working before hadn't it?

The gntdev problems I saw were more locking related than anything to do 
with PAE.  Did you try testing with lock debugging enabled?

Thanks,

Yes, I don't have any problem with locking in gntdev on my testbox.

OK, I'll give it another go.

I managed to catch a lockdep problem in gntdev, which may be the same as
before:

The problem is that mn_invl_range_start does a down_read(), but it is
called from __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), which does an
rcu_read_lock, which has the side-effect of disabling preemption.

The mmu notifier code seems to have always used rcu_read_lock this way,
so I guess this bug has always been there.  It's not immediately obvious
how to fix it.

Thoughts?

What about turning the semaphore into a rwlock?
Performances shouldn't matter in this case.
Something like this:

The problem is that the rcu lock disables preemption, so anything inside
it must be non-scheduling.  So it would need to be a spinlock type
thing, I think.

right, in fact rwlock is a rw spinlock if I am not mistaken

Ah, yes.  The problem with just making it a spinlock is that other parts
of the code do copy_from_user while holding it, so they would need to be
restructured to avoid that.

Also, rwlock is (almost?) never useful compared to a plain spinlock.

Yes, you are right. I fixed the patch to do that, however I couldn't
actually reproduce the bug you are seeing so I couldn't test the error
path at all...

I hit this often, mostly when mucking around with xenstored (maybe when
it exits?).  Other people have reported it too.

Does it really need to be a rwlock?
