Subject: [PATCH v2] acpi: increase maximum size for "etc/table-loader" blob
Date: Tue,  2 Mar 2021 16:29:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210302152944.50898-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)

The resizeable memory region that is created for the cmd blob has a maximum
size of ACPI_BUILD_ALIGN_SIZE - 4k. This used to be sufficient, however,
as we try fitting in additional data (e.g., vmgenid, nvdimm, intel-iommu),
we require more than 4k and can crash QEMU when trying to resize the
resizeable memory region beyond its maximum size:
  $ build/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm \
      -machine q35,nvdimm=on \
      -smp 1 \
      -cpu host \
      -m size=2G,slots=8,maxmem=4G \
      -object memory-backend-file,id=mem0,mem-path=/tmp/nvdimm,size=256M \
      -device nvdimm,label-size=131072,memdev=mem0,id=nvdimm0,slot=1 \
      -nodefaults \
      -device vmgenid \
      -device intel-iommu

Results in:
  Unexpected error in qemu_ram_resize() at ../softmmu/physmem.c:1850:
  qemu-system-x86_64: Size too large: /rom@etc/table-loader:
    0x2000 > 0x1000: Invalid argument

In this configuration, we consume exactly 4k (32 entries, 128 bytes each)
when creating the VM. However, once the guest boots up and maps the MCFG,
we also create the MCFG table and end up consuming 2 additional entries
(pointer + checksum) - which is where we try resizing the memory region
(-> RAMBlock), however, the maximum size does not allow for it.

Let's increase the maximum size from 4k to 64k, which should be good enough
for the near future.

Migration is not concerned with the maximum size of a RAMBlock, only
with the used size - so existing setups are not affected. Of course, we
cannot migrate a VM that would have crash when started on older QEMU from
new QEMU to older QEMU without failing early on the destination when
synchronizing the RAM state:
    qemu-system-x86_64: Size too large: /rom@etc/table-loader: 0x2000 > 0x1000: Invalid argument
    qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'ram'
    qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Invalid argument

While at it, replace "etc/table-loader" by ACPI_BUILD_LOADER_FILE in
the microvm.

Note: we could warn for problematic setups that migration might not
always be possible - similar to how we handle the table blob; or we
could disallow setups that would have crashed until now for compat
machines. But I am not sure if the effort (messing compat machine
properties) is worth it as we fail migration in a safe way early.
