[PATCH net V2 1/4] vhost: make sure used idx is seen before log in vhost_add_used_n()

[Jason Wang]

We miss a write barrier that guarantees used idx is updated and seen
before log. This will let userspace sync and copy used ring before
used idx is update. Fix this by adding a barrier before log_write().

[PATCH net V2 2/4] vhost_net: switch to use mutex_trylock() in vhost_net_busy_poll()

[Jason Wang]

We used to hold the mutex of paired virtqueue in
vhost_net_busy_poll(). But this will results an inconsistent lock
order which may cause deadlock if we try to bring back the protection
of device IOTLB with vq mutex that requires to hold mutex of all
virtqueues at the same time.

Fix this simply by switching to use mutex_trylock(), when fail just
skip the busy polling. This can happen when device IOTLB is under
updating which should be rare.

[PATCH net V2 3/4] Revert "net: vhost: lock the vqs one by one"

[Jason Wang]

This reverts commit 78139c94dc8c96a478e67dab3bee84dc6eccb5fd. We don't
protect device IOTLB with vq mutex, which will lead e.g use after free
for device IOTLB entries. And since we've switched to use
mutex_trylock() in previous patch, it's safe to revert it without
having deadlock.

[PATCH net V2 4/4] vhost: log dirty page correctly

[Jason Wang]

Vhost dirty page logging API is designed to sync through GPA. But we
try to log GIOVA when device IOTLB is enabled. This is wrong and may
lead to missing data after migration.

To solve this issue, when logging with device IOTLB enabled, we will:

1) reuse the device IOTLB translation result of GIOVA->HVA mapping to
   get HVA, for writable descriptor, get HVA through iovec. For used
   ring update, translate its GIOVA to HVA
2) traverse the GPA->HVA mapping to get the possible GPA and log
   through GPA. Pay attention this reverse mapping is not guaranteed
   to be unique, so we should log each possible GPA in this case.

This fix the failure of scp to guest during migration. In -next, we
will probably support passing GIOVA->GPA instead of GIOVA->HVA.

I'd try to put this in 4.20 if we can
and it's needed for -stable I think.

Also looks like we should allow iotlb entries per vq
to improve locking. What do you think?

It's a nasty bug for sure but it's been like this for a long
time so I'm inclined to say let's put it in 4.21,
and queue for stable.

So please split this out from this series.

Also, I'd like to see a feature bit that allows GPA in IOTLBs.

Maybe it should but userspace can trigger this easily I think.
We need to stop the device not warn in kernel log.

Also there's an error fd: VHOST_SET_VRING_ERR, need to wake it up.

This change seems questionable. used ring writes 
use their own machinery it does not go through iotlb.
Same should apply to log I think.

Same thing here. translation failures can be triggered from guest.
warn on is not a good error handling strategy ...

Ok.

Just to make sure I understand this. It looks to me we should:

- allow passing GIOVA->GPA through UAPI

- cache GIOVA->GPA somewhere but still use GIOVA->HVA in device IOTLB 
for performance

Is this what you suggest?

Thanks

The problem is used ring may not be physically contiguous with Device 
IOTLB enabled. So it should go through it.

Not really. We already have GPA->HVA, so I suggested a flag to pass
GIOVA->GPA in the IOTLB.

This has advantages for security since a single table needs
then to be validated to ensure guest does not corrupt
QEMU memory.

I wonder how much we can gain through this. Currently, qemu IOMMU gives 
GIOVA->GPA mapping, and qemu vhost code will translate GPA to HVA then 
pass GIOVA->HVA to vhost. It looks no difference to me.

The difference is in security not in performance.  Getting a bad HVA
corrupts QEMU memory and it might be guest controlled. Very risky.  If
translations to HVA are done in a single place through a single table
it's safer as there's a single risky place.

How can this be controlled by guest? HVA was generated from qemu ram 
blocks which is totally under the control of qemu memory core instead of 
guest.

It is ultimately under guest influence as guest supplies IOVA->GPA
translations.  qemu translates GPA->HVA and gives the translated result
to the kernel.  If it's not buggy and kernel isn't buggy it's all
fine.

But that's the approach that was proven not to work in the 20th century.
In the 21st century we are trying defence in depth approach.

My point is that a single code path that is responsible for
the HVA translations is better than two.

If qemu provides buggy GPA->HVA, we can't workaround this. And I don't 
get the point why we even want to try this. Buggy qemu code can crash 
itself in many ways.

So the difference whether or not use memory table information:

Current:

1) SET_MEM_TABLE: GPA->HVA

2) Qemu GIOVA->GPA

3) Qemu GPA->HVA

4) IOTLB_UPDATE: GIOVA->HVA

If I understand correctly you want to drop step 3 consider it might be 
buggy which is just 19 lines of code in qemu 
(vhost_memory_region_lookup()). This will ends up:

1) Do GPA->HVA translation in IOTLB_UPDATE path (I believe we won't want 
to do it during device IOTLB lookup).

2) Extra bits to enable this capability.

So this looks need more codes in kernel than what qemu did in 
userspace.  Is this really worthwhile?

Thanks

So there are several points I would like to make

1. At the moment without an iommu it is possible to
   change GPA-HVA mappings and everything keeps working
   because a change in memory tables flushes the rings.
   However I don't see the iotlb cache being invalidated
   on that path - did I miss it? If it is not there it's
   a related minor bug.

2. qemu already has a GPA. Discarding it and re-calculating
   when logging is on just seems wrong.
   However if you would like to *also* keep the HVA in the iotlb
   to avoid doing extra translations, that sounds like a
   reasonable optimization.

3. it also means that the hva->gpa translation only runs
   when logging is enabled. That is a rarely excercised
   path so any bugs there will not be caught.

So I really would like us long term to move away from
hva->gpa translations, keep them for legacy userspace only
but I don't really mind how we do it.

How about
- a new flag to pass an iotlb with *both* a gpa and hva
- for legacy userspace, calculate the gpa on iotlb update
  so the device then uses a shared code path

what do you think?

Interesting, I don't know this before. But when can this happen?

It might have a bug. But a question is consider the case without IOMMU. 
We only update mem table (SET_MEM_TABLE), but not vring address. This 
looks like a bug as well?

Yes, traverse GPA->HVA mapping seems unnecessary.

I wonder maybe some kind of unit-test may help here.

I don't object this idea so I can try, just want to figure out why it 
was a must.

It doesn't happen with existing qemu. But it seems like a valid
thing to do to remap memory at a different address.

I think that without an iommu it can only work without races if backend is
stopped or if the vring isn't in guest memory with ring aliasing).

Not a must but I think it's a good interface extension.

Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

also for 4.20 and seems like a stable candidate.

Hello Jason.

Look like Michael wants you to split out patch #4 and target
net-next with it.

So please do that and respin the first 3 patches here with Michael's
ACKs.

Thanks.
