[PATCH v3 0/4] Fix RCU warnings in TDP MMU

[PATCH v3 0/4] Fix RCU warnings in TDP MMU

[Ben Gardon]

The Linux Test Robot found a few RCU warnings in the TDP MMU:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg3845500.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg3845521.html

Fix these warnings and cleanup a hack in tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched.

Tested by compiling as suggested in the test robot report and confirmed
that the warnings go away with this series applied. Also ran
kvm-unit-tests on an Intel Skylake machine with the TDP MMU enabled and
confirmed that the series introduced no new failures.

[PATCH v3 1/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix RCU usage in handle_removed_tdp_mmu_page

[Ben Gardon]

The pt passed into handle_removed_tdp_mmu_page does not need RCU
protection, as it is not at any risk of being freed by another thread at
that point. However, the implicit cast from tdp_sptep_t to u64 * dropped
the __rcu annotation without a proper rcu_derefrence. Fix this by
passing the pt as a tdp_ptep_t and then rcu_dereferencing it in
the function.

[PATCH v3 3/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Factor out tdp_iter_return_to_root

[Ben Gardon]

In tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched there is a call to tdp_iter_start which
causes the iterator to continue its walk over the paging structure from
the root. This is needed after a yield as paging structure could have
been freed in the interim.

The tdp_iter_start call is not very clear and something of a hack. It
requires exposing tdp_iter fields not used elsewhere in tdp_mmu.c and
the effect is not obvious from the function name. Factor a more aptly
named function out of tdp_iter_start and call it from
tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched and tdp_iter_start.

No functional change intended.

[PATCH v3 4/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Store the address space ID in the TDP iterator

[Ben Gardon]

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Store the address space ID in the TDP iterator so that it can be
retrieved without having to bounce through the root shadow page.  This
streamlines the code and fixes a Sparse warning about not properly using
rcu_dereference() when grabbing the ID from the root on the fly.
