Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "xen: properly account for _PAGE_NUMA during xen pte translations"
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:18:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395425902-29817-2-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1395425902-29817-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com>

This reverts commit a9c8e4beeeb64c22b84c803747487857fe424b68.

PTEs in Xen PV guests must contain machine addresses if _PAGE_PRESENT
is set and pseudo-physical addresses is _PAGE_PRESENT is clear.

This is because during a domain save/restore (migration) the page
table entries are "canonicalised" and uncanonicalised". i.e., MFNs are
converted to PFNs during domain save so that on a restore the page
table entries may be rewritten with the new MFNs on the destination.

This change resulted in writing PTEs with MFNs if _PAGE_NUMA was set
but _PAGE_PRESENT was clear.  These PTEs would be migrated as-is which
would result in unexpected behaviour in the destination domain.
Either a) the MFN would be translated to the wrong PFN/page; b)
setting the _PAGE_PRESENT bit would clear the PTE because the MFN is
no longer owned by the domain; or c) the present bit would not get
set.

Symptoms include "Bad page" reports when unmapping after migrating a
domain.
