Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] KVM: s390: vsie: fixes and cleanups.
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 20:48:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200402184819.34215-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
Some vsie/gmap fixes and two cleanups/improvements.
Patch #1 fixes an issue reported by Janosch. It was never observed so far,
because KVM usually doesn't use a region 1 table for it's guest (unless
memory would be exceeding something like 16 EB, which isn't even supported
by the HW). Older QEMU+KVM or other hypervisors can trigger this.
Patch #2 fixes a code path that probably was never taken and will most
probably not be taken very often in the future - unless somebody really
messes up the page tables for a guest (or writes a test for it). At some
point, a test case for this would be nice.
Patch #3 fixes a rare possible race. Don't think this is stable material.
Gave it some testing with my limited access to somewhat-fast s390x
machines. Booted a Linux kernel, supplying all possible number of
page table hiearchies.
