[PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Run NX huge page recovery under MMU read lock

[Vipin Sharma]

Split NX huge page recovery in two separate flows, one for TDP MMU and
one for non-TDP MMU.

TDP MMU flow will use MMU read lock and non-TDP MMU flow will use MMU
write lock. This change unblocks vCPUs which are waiting for MMU read
lock while NX huge page recovery is running and zapping MMU pages.

A Windows guest was showing network latency jitters which was root
caused to vCPUs waiting for MMU read lock when NX huge page recovery
thread was holding MMU write lock. Disabling NX huge page recovery fixed
the jitter issue.

So, to optimize NX huge page recovery, it was modified to run under MMU
read lock, the switch made jitter issue disappear completely and vCPUs
wait time for MMU read lock reduced drastically. Patch 2 commit log has
the data from the tool to show improvement observed.

Patch 1 splits the NX huge pages tracking into two lists, one for TDP
MMU and one for shadow and legacy MMU. Patch 2 adds support to run
recovery worker under MMU read lock for TDP MMU pages.

v3:
- Use pointers in track and untrack NX huge pages APIs for accounting.
- Remove #ifdefs from v2.
- Fix error in v2 where TDP MMU flow was using
  cond_resched_rwlock_write() instead of cond_resched_rwlock_read() 
- Keep common code for both TDP and non-TDP MMU logic.
- Create wrappers for TDP MMU data structures to avoid #ifdefs.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240829191135.2041489-1-vipinsh@google.com/#t
- Track legacy and TDP MMU NX huge pages separately.
- Each list has their own calculation of "to_zap", i.e. number of pages
  to zap.
- Unaccount huge page before dirty log check and zap logic in TDP MMU recovery
  worker. Check patch 4 for more details.
- 32 bit build issue fix.
- Sparse warning fix for comparing RCU pointer with non-RCU pointer.

[PATCH v3 1/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Track TDP MMU NX huge pages separately

[Vipin Sharma]

Create separate list for storing TDP MMU NX huge pages and provide
counter for it. Use this list in NX huge page recovery worker along with
the existing NX huge pages list. Use old NX huge pages list for storing
only non-TDP MMU pages and provide separate counter for it.

Separate list will allow to optimize TDP MMU NX huge page recovery in
future patches by using MMU read lock.

Hmm, ideally that would be reflected in the name.  More thoughts two comments
down.

Changelog says nothing about tracking the number of possible pages.  This clearly
belongs in a separate patch.

These obviously come in a pair, and must be passed around as such.  To make the
relevant code easier on the eyes (long lines), and to avoid passing a mismatched
pair, add a parent structure.

E.g.

  struct kvm_possible_nx_huge_pages {
	struct list_head list;
	u64 nr_pages;
  }

And then you can have 

	struct kvm_possible_nx_huge_pages shadow_mmu_possible_nx_huge_pages;

	struct kvm_possible_nx_huge_pages tdp_mmu_possible_nx_huge_pages;

And the comments about the lists can go away, since the structures and names are
fairly self-explanatory.


Aha!  An even better idea.

enum kvm_mmu_types {
	KVM_SHADOW_MMU,
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
	KVM_TDP_MMU,
#endif
	KVM_NR_MMU_TYPES,
};


	struct kvm_possible_nx_huge_pages possible_nx_huge_pages[NR_MMU_TYPES];

And then the line lengths aren't heinous and there's no need to trampoline in and
out of the TDP MMU.

No need to put "kvm" and "sp" on separate lines.  And if we go with the array
approach, this becomes:

	if (nx_huge_page_possible)
		track_possible_nx_huge_page(kvm, sp, KVM_SHADOW_MMU);

    KVM: x86/mmu: Re-check under lock that TDP MMU SP hugepage is disallowed
    
    Re-check sp->nx_huge_page_disallowed under the tdp_mmu_pages_lock spinlock
    when adding a new shadow page in the TDP MMU.  To ensure the NX reclaim
    kthread can't see a not-yet-linked shadow page, the page fault path links
    the new page table prior to adding the page to possible_nx_huge_pages.
    
    If the page is zapped by different task, e.g. because dirty logging is
    disabled, between linking the page and adding it to the list, KVM can end
    up triggering use-after-free by adding the zapped SP to the aforementioned
    list, as the zapped SP's memory is scheduled for removal via RCU callback.
    The bug is detected by the sanity checks guarded by CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y,
    i.e. the below splat is just one possible signature.

Actually, I vote for s/list/pages, as that makes the usage in code is more intuitive.

[PATCH v3 2/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Recover TDP MMU NX huge pages using MMU read lock

[Vipin Sharma]

Use MMU read lock to recover TDP MMU NX huge pages. Iterate
huge pages list under tdp_mmu_pages_lock protection and unaccount the
page before dropping the lock.

Modify kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_sp() to kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_possible_nx_huge_page()
as there are no other user of it. Ignore the zap if any of the following
condition is true:
- It is a root page.
- Parent is pointing to:
  - A different page table.
  - A huge page.
  - Not present

Warn if zapping SPTE fails and current SPTE is still pointing to same
page table. This should never happen.

There is always a race between dirty logging, vCPU faults, and NX huge
page recovery for backing a gfn by an NX huge page or an execute small
page. Unaccounting sooner during the list traversal is increasing the
window of that race. Functionally, it is okay, because accounting
doesn't protect against iTLB multi-hit bug, it is there purely to
prevent KVM from bouncing a gfn between two page sizes. The only
downside is that a vCPU will end up doing more work in tearing down all
the child SPTEs. This should be a very rare race.

Zapping under MMU read lock unblock vCPUs which are waiting for MMU read
lock. This optimizaion is done to solve a guest jitter issue on Windows
VM which was observing an increase in network latency. The test workload
sets up two Windows VM and use latte.exe[1] binary to run network
latency benchmark. Running NX huge page recovery under MMU lock was
causing latency to increase up to 30 ms because vCPUs were waiting for
MMU lock.

Running the tool on VMs using MMU read lock NX huge page recovery
removed the jitter issue completely and MMU lock wait time by vCPUs was
also reduced.

Command used for testing:

Server:
latte.exe -udp -a 192.168.100.1:9000 -i 10000000

Client:
latte.exe -c -udp -a 192.168.100.1:9000 -i 10000000 -hist -hl 1000 -hc 30

I missed it because i386 command I used was from config given in v1 of
the series by lkp bot. That command was just for build kvm directory and
ldd didn't get invoke.

I will send out a new version after collecting feedback on this version
of the series. I am thinking of below change to fix the error.

Hmm, what if we do this?

enum kvm_mmu_types {
	KVM_SHADOW_MMU,
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
	KVM_TDP_MMU,
#endif
	KVM_NR_MMU_TYPES,

#define KVM_TDP_MMU -1
#endif

And then this becomes:

Shouldn't this be?

		if (shared)

Or if we do the above

Actually, better idea (sans comments)

	if (mmu_type == KVM_TDP_MMU) {

	} else {

This rename, and any refactoring that is associated with said rename, e.g. comments,
belongs in a separate patch.

Newline here, to isolate the lockdep assertion from the functional code.
