[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] kvm: fix system reset & rework slot management

[Jan Kiszka]

This is the promised series to improve KVM's memory slot management.
Things turned out to be more complicated and ugly than planned due to an
unfortunate bug in KVM's kernel code, see [1] and patch 5 of this
series.

The most important impact of this series is that it finally enables
support for resetting qemu guests in KVM mode. Path 1 and 2 lay the
groundwork for this, and the slot management rework fixes the remaining
issues around memory remapping via PAM.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/7] kvm: improve handling of overlapping slots

[Jan Kiszka]

This reworks the slot management to handle more patterns of
cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so
far address remapping on reset broke the slot management).

We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM
kernel bug in older versions would force us to track all previous
fragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents registering
larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). To remain backward
compatible but avoid overly complicated workarounds, we apply a simpler
workaround that covers all currently used patterns.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/7 v2] kvm: improve handling of overlapping slots

[Jan Kiszka]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9127 bytes --]

This reworks the slot management to handle all patterns of
cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so
far address remapping on reset broke the slot management).

Nevertheless, KVM kernel bug in older versions forces us to track
previousfragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents
registering larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). When affected
KVM versions are detected, we apply a workaround that covers all
currently used patterns.

Changes in v2:
 - detect KVM kernel bug and apply the workaround only when needed

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] vga: Fix inconsistent tracking of map_addr

[Jan Kiszka]

Only track video RAM mapping in map_addr and use the correct RAM size.
Furthermore, make sure the reset the address in case unmapping took
place via PCI reconfiguration.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/7] kvm: Add sanity checks to slot management

[Jan Kiszka]

Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot.

Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent memory regions
by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several inconsistencies in
the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series.

And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory
regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

The alignment check in kvm_set_phys_mem prevents pci controller and mpic initializing mmio regions.

What is the alignment of those regions then? None? And do regions of
different types overlap even on the same page? Maybe the check reveals
some deeper conflict /wrt KVM. Can you point me to the involved code files?

Hmm, too bad that I have no platform at hand to test this. Could you
instrument kvm_set_phys_mem (on an older, working version), dumping its
arguments and post this trace?

These PCI controllers make separate calls to
cpu_register_physical_memory() for separate callbacks. Reading
ppce500_pci_init(), for example:
0xe0008000 -> CFGADDR (4 bytes)
0xe0008004 -> CFGDATA (4 bytes)
0xe0008c00 -> other registers

The loop in cpu_register_physical_memory_offset() handles "subpage"
registration. However, kvm_set_phys_mem() is called outside that loop,
so it gets the non-page-aligned addresses.

I don't understand the point. kvm_set_phys_mem() already works without
this new abort() check.

This new check is there to catch those cases where someone tries to
register regions that are actually incompatible with KVM. IO-MEM regions
do not belong into this category (unless they would split existing KVM
slots in a non-align way), and so the test likely overshoots here.

That's goofy.  If the single device owns the entire region, it should 
region the entire region instead of relying on subpage functionality.

If just requires a switch() on the address to dispatch to the 
appropriate functions.  It should be easy enough to fix.

There are two cases that share this code path:
1) same driver registers multiple regions in the same page
2) different drivers register regions in the same page

This is case 1, and as you say, we could add a switch statement to
handle it. I did not look closely to see how many other callers fall
into this category.

However, are you suggesting that case 2 is also "goofy" and will never
work with KVM? It works in qemu today. As long as case 2 works, case 1
will work too, so why change anything?

I don't see why it would be wrong to register multiple regions within
the same page. It means that you can catch accesses to unassigned
addresses between the regions.

There are two instances of Sparc32 DMA controller, one to serve ESP
and the other for Lance. These are at addresses dma_base and dma_base
+ 16. Before subpage, this was handled with a switch, but now we rely
on the subpage mechanism instead.

Perhaps it would be better to register a reset handler in kvm_init?

If it has to run last, then we can add priority to the reset handlers.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/7] kvm: Cleanup unmap condition in kvm_set_phys_mem

[Jan Kiszka]

Testing for TLB_MMIO on unmap makes no sense as A) that flag belongs to
CPUTLBEntry and not to io_memory slots or physical addresses and B) we
already use a different condition before mapping. So make this test

[Jan Kiszka]

In theory, there are no more quirks in the KVM slot management that
requires dirty log start/stop all over the place. We just have to start
the logging each time the mapping may have changed. This patch drops
vga_dirty_log_stop for both standard and cirrus VGA. It also reverts
#6851 as it was obviously a tribute to the old slot system.

I've applied this series but please submit a cleanup to #1.

I decided to just apply this to trunk.  It's a lot of churn for stable 
and I consider KVM experimental for 0.10.x.  If you think it should go 
in stable though, I'm willing to reconsider.

Thanks,
