Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/4] memory: Protect memory_region_clear_dirty_bitmap with RCU
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2023 11:31:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230225163141.1209368-4-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230225163141.1209368-1-peterx@redhat.com>
Clear dirty bitmap operation needs to walk memory_listeners but the context
may not hold BQL.
These callers hold BQL for it:
cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap
dirtyrate_manual_reset_protect
These callers hold RCU for it:
migration_clear_memory_region_dirty_bitmap [1]
cpu_physical_memory_test_and_clear_dirty
The above case [1] is extremely unobvious and probably still buggy,
because:
- Either the RCU read lock was taken very high from the stack in
ram_save_iterate() or ram_save_queue_pages() where the RCU lock was
probably taken for the sake of ramblock references (which is also
protected by RCU), or,
- I _think_ there's path that leaks taking any lock (e.g. the other path
migration_clear_memory_region_dirty_bitmap_range which is used by
virtio-mem or virtio-balloon that may or may not really take RCU at all,
neither BQL).
Add the RCU read lock in memory_region_clear_dirty_bitmap() to make sure
it's not missed.
The RCU is also needed for address_space_get_flatview(), so this will
generally making the RCU section larger to cover the whole walking process
when not taken, but wanted.
This should be the only place that we referenced memory_listeners (or
as->listeners) without guaranteed to hold BQL nor RCU.
