Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v1 0/3] x86: fix async page fault issues
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2023 14:27:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231212062708.16509-1-dan1.wu@intel.com> (raw)
When running asyncpf test, it gets skipped without a clear reason:
./asyncpf
enabling apic
smp: waiting for 0 APs
paging enabled
cr0 = 80010011
cr3 = 107f000
cr4 = 20
install handler
enable async pf
alloc memory
start loop
end loop
start loop
end loop
SUMMARY: 0 tests
SKIP asyncpf (0 tests)
The reason is that KVM changed to use interrupt-based 'page-ready' notification
and abandoned #PF-based 'page-ready' notification mechanism. Interrupt-based
'page-ready' notification requires KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_INT to be set as well
in MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN to enable asyncpf.
This series tries to fix the problem by separating two testcases for different mechanisms.
- For old #PF-based notification, changes current asyncpf.c to add CPUID check
at the beginning. It checks (KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF && !KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_INT),
otherwise it gets skipped.
- For new interrupt-based notification, add a new test, asyncpf-int.c, to check
(KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF && KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_INT) and implement interrupt-based
'page-ready' handler.
