[Qemu-devel] [RFC/BUG] xen-mapcache: buggy invalidate map cache?

[hrg]

Hi,

In xen_map_cache_unlocked(), map to guest memory maybe in entry->next
instead of first level entry (if map to rom other than guest memory
comes first), while in xen_invalidate_map_cache(), when VM ballooned
out memory, qemu did not invalidate cache entries in linked
list(entry->next), so when VM balloon back in memory, gfns probably
mapped to different mfns, thus if guest asks device to DMA to these
GPA, qemu may DMA to stale MFNs.

So I think in xen_invalidate_map_cache() linked lists should also be
checked and invalidated.

What’s your opinion? Is this a bug? Is my analyze correct?

There is a real issue with the xen-mapcache corruption in fact. I encountered
it a few months ago while experimenting with Q35 support on Xen. Q35 emulation
uses an AHCI controller by default, along with NCQ mode enabled. The issue can
be (somewhat) easily reproduced there, though using a normal i440 emulation
might possibly allow to reproduce the issue as well, using a dedicated test
code from a guest side. In case of Q35+NCQ the issue can be reproduced "as is".

The issue occurs when a guest domain performs an intensive disk I/O, ex. while
guest OS booting. QEMU crashes with "Bad ram offset 980aa000"
message logged, where the address is different each time. The hard thing with
this issue is that it has a very low reproducibility rate.

The corruption happens when there are multiple I/O commands in the NCQ queue.
So there are overlapping emulated DMA operations in flight and QEMU uses a
sequence of mapcache actions which can be executed in the "wrong" order thus
leading to an inconsistent xen-mapcache - so a bad address from the wrong
entry is returned.

The bad thing with this issue is that QEMU crash due to "Bad ram offset"
appearance is a relatively good situation in the sense that this is a caught
error. But there might be a much worse (artificial) situation where the returned
address looks valid but points to a different mapped memory.

The fix itself is not hard (ex. an additional checked field in MapCacheEntry),
but there is a need of some reliable way to test it considering the low
reproducibility rate.

Yes, you are right. We need to go through the list for each element of
the array in xen_invalidate_map_cache. Can you come up with a patch?

I spoke too soon. In the regular case there should be no locked mappings
when xen_invalidate_map_cache is called (see the DPRINTF warning at the
beginning of the functions). Without locked mappings, there should never
be more than one element in each list (see xen_map_cache_unlocked:
entry->lock == true is a necessary condition to append a new entry to
the list, otherwise it is just remapped).

Can you confirm that what you are seeing are locked mappings
when xen_invalidate_map_cache is called? To find out, enable the DPRINTK
by turning it into a printf or by defininig MAPCACHE_DEBUG.

In fact, I think the DPRINTF above is incorrect too. In
pci_add_option_rom(), rtl8139 rom is locked mapped in
pci_add_option_rom->memory_region_get_ram_ptr (after
memory_region_init_ram). So actually I think we should remove the
DPRINTF warning as it is normal.

Let me explain why the DPRINTF warning is there: emulated dma operations
can involve locked mappings. Once a dma operation completes, the related
mapping is unlocked and can be safely destroyed. But if we destroy a
locked mapping in xen_invalidate_map_cache, while a dma is still
ongoing, QEMU will crash. We cannot handle that case.

However, the scenario you described is different. It has nothing to do
with DMA. It looks like pci_add_option_rom calls
memory_region_get_ram_ptr to map the rtl8139 rom. The mapping is a
locked mapping and it is never unlocked or destroyed.

It looks like "ptr" is not used after pci_add_option_rom returns. Does
the append patch fix the problem you are seeing? For the proper fix, I
think we probably need some sort of memory_region_unmap wrapper or maybe
a call to address_space_unmap.

Let me explain why the DPRINTF warning is there: emulated dma operations
can involve locked mappings. Once a dma operation completes, the related
mapping is unlocked and can be safely destroyed. But if we destroy a
locked mapping in xen_invalidate_map_cache, while a dma is still
ongoing, QEMU will crash. We cannot handle that case.

However, the scenario you described is different. It has nothing to do
with DMA. It looks like pci_add_option_rom calls
memory_region_get_ram_ptr to map the rtl8139 rom. The mapping is a
locked mapping and it is never unlocked or destroyed.

It looks like "ptr" is not used after pci_add_option_rom returns. Does
the append patch fix the problem you are seeing? For the proper fix, I
think we probably need some sort of memory_region_unmap wrapper or maybe
a call to address_space_unmap.

Hmm, for some reason my message to the Xen-devel list got rejected but was sent
to Qemu-devel instead, without any notice. Sorry if I'm missing something
obvious as a list newbie.

Stefano, hrg,

There is an issue with inconsistency between the list of normal MapCacheEntry's
and their 'reverse' counterparts - MapCacheRev's in locked_entries.
When bad situation happens, there are multiple (locked) MapCacheEntry
entries in the bucket's linked list along with a number of MapCacheRev's. And
when it comes to a reverse lookup, xen-mapcache picks the wrong entry from the
first list and calculates a wrong pointer from it which may then be caught with
the "Bad RAM offset" check (or not). Mapcache invalidation might be related to
this issue as well I think.

I'll try to provide a test code which can reproduce the issue from the
guest side using an emulated IDE controller, though it's much simpler to achieve
this result with an AHCI controller using multiple NCQ I/O commands. So far I've
seen this issue only with Windows 7 (and above) guest on AHCI, but any block I/O
DMA should be enough I think.

Yes, I think there may be other bugs lurking, considering the complexity, though we need to reproduce it if we want to delve into it.

Yes, I think there may be other bugs lurking, considering the complexity, though we need to reproduce it if we want to delve into it.

That would be helpful. Please see if you can reproduce it after fixing
the other issue (http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=149195042500707&w=2).

Would you be up for sending a proper patch and testing it? We cannot call
xen_invalidate_map_cache_entry directly from pci.c though, it would need
to be one of the other functions like address_space_unmap for example.
