Subject: pvh dom0: memory leak from iomem map
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 18:29:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140603182948.073180cf@mantra.us.oracle.com> (raw)
Hi Tim,
When building a dom0 pvh, we populate the p2m with 0..N pfns upfront. Then
in pvh_map_all_iomem, we walk the e820 and map all iomem 1:1. As such
any iomem range below N would cause those ram frames to be silently dropped.
Since the holes could be pretty big, I am concenred this could result
in significant loss of frames.
In my very early patches I had:
set_typed_p2m_entry():
...
else if ( p2m_is_ram(ot) )
{
if ( is_pvh_domain(d) ) <---
free_domheap_page(mfn_to_page(omfn)); <---
ASSERT(mfn_valid(omfn));
set_gpfn_from_mfn(mfn_x(omfn), INVALID_M2P_ENTRY);
..
I'd like you to reconsider it. Since there is a dislike using is_pvh,
I suppose one alternative could be, 'if ( gfn_p2mt == p2m_mmio_direct)'.
If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to them. LMK your thoughts..
Thanks,
Mukesh
