On x86-64, I saw KVM fault printks getting printed (it was about 1-2 years ago, though, when I realized this was a problem). Could be that these were fetches. At least the guest eventually crashed :) On other archs (esp. s390x) guests will directly receive a PGM_ADDRESSING from KVM if they stumble over memory that is not covered by a kvm slot. >=20 >> But also, other ioctls might depend on all slots being in place. >> >> Let's inhibit most KVM ioctls while performing the resize.

Yeah, rwlocks are not optimal and I am still looking for better alternatives (suggestions welcome :) ). Using RCU might not work, because the rcu_read region might be too big (esp. while in KVM_RUN). I had a prototype which used a bunch of atomics + qemu_cond_wait. But it was quite elaborate and buggy. (I assume only going into KVM_RUN is really affected, and I do wonder if it will be noticeable at all. Doing an ioctl is always already an expensive operation.) I can look into per-cpu locks instead of the rwlock. >=20 > I would very much prefer to add a KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION extension > right away. >=20 I really want to avoid dependencies on kernel features to at least make it work for now. Especially, resizing memory slots in KVM (especially while dirty bitmaps, rmaps, etc. are active) is non-trivial. Thanks Paolo! --=20 Thanks, David / dhildenb
