[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.1 0/4] Xen: Fix PV-on-HVM

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.1 0/4] Xen: Fix PV-on-HVM

[Anthony PERARD]

In the context of PV-on-HVM under Xen, the emulated nics are supposed to be
unplug before the guest drivers are initialized. This mean that there must be
unplug without the consent of the guest.

Without this patch series, the guest end up with two nics with the same MAC,
the emulated nic and the PV nic.

I tried few other path before to submite these patches:
  - delayed the hot unplug in QEMU until the guest initialize the hotplug.
    => the guest unplug the nic only after the driver initialized it. That's a
      bit late.
  - delayed the call to unplug the emulated device until pci_acpi_init is called
    => this is worse, the pv disc does not show up and the guest does not boot.

In order to achive this fix, these patches introduce a new hotplug state only
used in acpi_piix4, and a new qdev callback force_unplug.

Would it be possible to have this fix in the next release?

Thanks,

Given that it is supposed to be a state rather than an action, it should
be called PCI_FORCE_DISABLED or something like that.

This can crash guest, can't it? If you are fine with crashing guest,
we already let you do this:
- delete device
- reset guest
no need for new flags.

Given that the guest is not going to crash (if it knows what it is
doing), we could just:


diff --git a/hw/xen_platform.c b/hw/xen_platform.c

Anthony, can you confirm that this solves the problem for you?

This work until I try to hotplug a new device to the guest at wish
point I have this:
ERROR:/local/home/anthony/work/qemu/qom/object.c:389:object_delete:
assertion failed: (obj->ref == 0)

This is because there is still a pending request of the hotunplug in
the acpi piix4.
If I call qdev_free without qdev_unplug, I hit the same assert, but
rigth away. This is way something new.

Because it's missing the object_unparent done by qdev_unplug.  Does
object_unparent+qdev_free work?  (I believe object_unparent should be
done by qdev_free rather than qdev_unplug, but that's something for 1.2).

Cool, this seems to work fine. Thanks.

I'll test a bit more and resend a patch with only object_unparent+qdev_free.

Separately it was suggested to make qdev_free do object_unparent
automatically. Anthony is yet to respond.

Yes, but for 1.1 this Xen-only patch would be nice.

No sure which this patch is meant, the force eject is not a good idea.
Freeing directly from Xen is fine.

qdev_free() is trivially object_delete today.

What we should do is make an object_destroy() which emits a destroy event and 
then decrements the reference count.  When ref == 0, we should emit a delete event.

We could then register a slot to object_unparent in the destroy event handler, 
and then object_new() could register a free handler in the delete event.

Then object_delete()/qdev_free() just become trivial invocations of object_unref().

But for 1.1, we definitely should just do an explicit object_unparent().

Anthony Liguori

Okay. Can you fix the bug Amos reported this way too

unplug needs to be initialized to NULL above

Why? unplug is not used before to be set.

But I can do that for the next version if there is one.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] xen: Fix PV-on-HVM

[Anthony PERARD]

In the context of PV-on-HVM under Xen, the emulated nics are supposed to be
unplug before the guest drivers are initialized. This mean that there must be
unplug without the consent of the guest.

Without this patch, the guest end up with two nics with the same MAC, the
emulated nic and the PV nic.

OK, so on Xen there are special devices that can be safely removed
without telling the guest?  Does there need to be regular hotplug for
these devices too? Or can it be always surprise removal?

On Xen the PV drivers can ask the firmware to surprise-remove the
emulated NICs.  Of course it has to do it early enough so that the guest
doesn't crash.

So driver tells firmware (meaning acpi? how?) that it's ok

What does early enough mean and how do we ensure that?

It writes something to some I/O port, and then QEMU surprise-removes the
NICs.

Early enough means that the I/O port is written very early in the boot
process, even before the PCI bus is scanned by the OS.

You don't ensure it, it's up to the OS.  The OS knows whether its
drivers can cope properly with surprise removal.  If they can, in
principle it could write the magic value whenever it wants to.

Yes, writing to a static I/O port provided by the Xen platform PCI
device, see hw/xen_platform.c:platform_fixed_ioport_writew.

The guest can ask to unplug emulated NICs and disks this way.
Surprise-removal is OK in these cases.

Right, it is up to the OS, in general before the PCI bus is scanned.
In Linux we do it from hypervisor_x86->init_platform.

Confused.
Don't you want to just remove the device on unplug?
In fact the equivalent of guest calling _EJ0?

So early on boot you decide you want PV and so you unplug all emulated
devices?

Yes, the NIC needs to "disappear" from the PCI bus.

Except that _EJ0 can or cannot be implemented, while this doesn't have
to go through ACPI or PCI hotplug and it is supposed to always work.

Yes, but only the emulated devices that can collide with PV devices:
disk and network.

So the answer is to simply free on unplug exactly
like _EJ0 does. There's no forcing and no surprise removal here.

I would be in favor for having this fix in 1.1.

Apart from the two comments I sent, I think that the patch series looks
reasonable.

Guest drivers for which device?

Shouldn't be a problem if one of them has link down state.
So maybe just be careful not to bring PV link up until after emulated
nic goes away?
