Peter Anvin, x86, kvm, yu.c.zhang, yi.z.zhang This patch series depends on dax pages not being PageReserved. Once that is in place, these changes will let KVM use huge pages with dax-backed files. Without the PageReserved change, KVM and DAX still work with these patches, simply without huge pages - which is the current situation.

The existing check is trying to determine if the mapping for the pfn is a huge mapping or not. For non-DAX maps, e.g. hugetlbfs, that means checking PageTransCompound. For DAX, we can check the page table itself. Note that KVM already faulted in the page (or huge page) in the host's page table, and we hold the KVM mmu spinlock (grabbed before checking the mmu seq).

I hear that's going on in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/154145268025.30046.11742652345962594283.stgit-+uVpp3jiz/RcxmDmkzA3yGt3HXsI98Cx0E9HWUfgJXw@public.gmane.org/ Though it looks like it's speeding up page initialization, and not explicitly making the PageReserved change, yet. Alternatively, I could change kvm_is_reserved_pfn() to single out zone_device pages if we don't want to wait or if there is a concern that it won't happen. On a related note, there are two places in KVM where we check PageReserved outside of kvm_is_reserved_pfn(). For reference: bool kvm_is_reserved_pfn(kvm_pfn_t pfn) { if (pfn_valid(pfn)) return PageReserved(pfn_to_page(pfn)); return true; } One caller of PageReserved(): void kvm_set_pfn_dirty(kvm_pfn_t pfn) { if (!kvm_is_reserved_pfn(pfn)) { struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn); if (!PageReserved(page)) SetPageDirty(page); } } In that one, the PageReserved() check looks redundant, since if the page was PageReserved, then it would have been kvm_is_reserved. The other is: static bool kvm_is_mmio_pfn(kvm_pfn_t pfn) { if (pfn_valid(pfn)) return !is_zero_pfn(pfn) && PageReserved(pfn_to_page(pfn)) && /* * Some reserved pages, such as those from NVDIMM * DAX devices, are not for MMIO, and can be mapped * with cached memory type for better performance. * However, the above check misconceives those pages * as MMIO, and results in KVM mapping them with UC * memory type, which would hurt the performance. * Therefore, we check the host memory type in addition * and only treat UC/UC-/WC pages as MMIO. */ (!pat_enabled() || pat_pfn_immune_to_uc_mtrr(pfn)); return true; } Where the PAT stuff was motivated by DAX. The PageReserved check here looks like a broken-out version of kvm_is_reserved_pfn(), so that we can make some extra checks around it. Anyway, I can get rid of those two PageReserved checks and/or have kvm_is_reserved_pfn() just check DAX pages, if everyone is OK with that.

Since this one is indeed motivated by DAX, it can be left in for now and it will DTRT. But when DAX is not PageReserved anymore, then this second part of the condition can be reverted.

For testing, I used the following patch. It's not 100%, since it intercepts at kvm_is_reserved_pfn(), and not PageReserved() directly. The only difference is with kvm_set_pfn_dirty() I think.

Peter Anvin, yi.z.zhang-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w This patch series depends on dax pages not being PageReserved. Once that is in place, these changes will let KVM use huge pages with dax-backed files. Without the PageReserved change, KVM and DAX still work with these patches, simply without huge pages - which is the current situation.

Peter Anvin, yi.z.zhang-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w This change allows KVM to map DAX-backed files made of huge pages with huge mappings in the EPT/TDP. DAX pages are not PageTransCompound. The existing check is trying to determine if the mapping for the pfn is a huge mapping or not. For non-DAX maps, e.g. hugetlbfs, that means checking PageTransCompound. For DAX, we can check the page table itself. Note that KVM already faulted in the page (or huge page) in the host's page table, and we hold the KVM mmu spinlock. We grabbed that lock in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end, before checking the mmu seq.

I can keep my eye out for his patches and repost once that's done. Alternatively, if you all want to merge this before the PageReserved / DAX changes, then I can repost - just Ack/Review tags. It's harmless with the existing PageReserved behavior.

I've been trying to work out a few different issues but not having much luck. It seems like the main issue is that the PageReserved bit is being used to indicate 2 different things in a few spots throughout the kernel. The definition of the PG_reserved flag reads like it should apply to DAX pages: PG_reserved is set for special pages, which can never be swapped out. Some of them might not even exist... PageReserved essentially means you aren't supposed to be migrating or swapping the page. The problem here is that I believe this logic should apply to DAX pages and so in many cases it makes sense to leave the flag set for DAX pages. Otherwise you have to go through and start special casing all the spots where normal memory falls through and add a check to see if we have a DAX page. The second use for the PG_reserved flag is to test for if you can pin the page or not. This I think is the reason why many are just assuming PageReserved == MMIO like KVM does. However this is a bad assumption to be making since the introduction of DAX, HMM, and P2PDMA allows MMIO memory to start doing different things like supporting pinning. I also believe it would be a bad reason to clear the flag for DAX pages.
