If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for a long time such as tens of milliseconds. This patch controls the lock hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others. One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing mmu_lock. But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a whole, we should pay for that. In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment, cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory even without THP. We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed.

No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() and kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() together by mmu_lock in kvm_arch_commit_memory_region(): the former calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself. Note: we do not need to protect kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages by mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly.

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally in a later patch. Although this may increase the time needed to protect the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages. Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number of slots further.

We have two issues in current code: - if target gfn is used as its page table, guest will refault then kvm will use small page size to map it. We need two #PF to fix its shadow page table - sometimes, say a exception is triggered during vm-exit caused by #PF (see handle_exception() in vmx.c), we remove all the shadow pages shadowed by the target gfn before go into page fault path, it will cause infinite loop: delete shadow pages shadowed by the gfn -> try to use large page size to map the gfn -> retry the access ->... To fix these, we can adjust page size early if the target gfn is used as page table Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from readonly to writable Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table, means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into sp.role It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function and drop two parameters in set_spte Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte: 1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level() and acquiring mmu-lock. 2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when guest uses the target gfn as its page table. In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case, it works not good: - for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and do expensive instruction emulation. - for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation. Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NGleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe, cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap. Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change (cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error code, pte access permissions). The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0. Noted by Xiao Guangrong. The result is short, branch-free code. Reviewed-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to set the dirty bit). It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.

Although the possible race described in commit 85b70591 KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of mmu_shrink() introduced by commit 19526396 KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink() Here is the bug: if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) { if (!nr_to_scan--) break; continue; } We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others: in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake. This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero. Note that we also add comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

When we invalidate a THP page, we call the handler with the same rmap_pde argument 512 times in the following loop: for each guest page in the range for each level unmap using rmap This patch avoids these extra handler calls by changing the loop order like this: for each level for each rmap in the range unmap using rmap With the preceding patches in the patch series, this made THP page invalidation more than 5 times faster on our x86 host: the host became more responsive during swapping the guest's memory as a result.
