[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM/X86: Introduce a new guest mapping interface

[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM/X86: Introduce a new guest mapping interface

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

Guest memory can either be directly managed by the kernel (i.e. have a "struct
page") or they can simply live outside kernel control (i.e. do not have a
"struct page"). KVM mostly support these two modes, except in a few places
where the code seems to assume that guest memory must have a "struct page".

This patchset introduces a new mapping interface to map guest memory into host
kernel memory which also supports PFN-based memory (i.e. memory without 'struct
page'). It also converts all offending code to this interface or simply
read/write directly from guest memory.

As far as I can see all offending code is now fixed except the APIC-access page
which I will handle in a seperate patch.

[PATCH v2 01/12] X86/nVMX: handle_vmon: Read 4 bytes from guest memory

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

Read the data directly from guest memory instead instead of the
map->read->unmap sequence. This also avoids using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page()
and kmap() which assumes that there is a "struct page" for guest memory.

If you want to use kvm_write_guest_page, this can also be

		if (kvm_write_guest_page(vcpu->kvm,
					 gpa_to_gfn(vmcs12->pml_address), &gpa,
					 sizeof(gpa) * vmcs12->guest_pml_index,
					 sizeof(gpa)))

(I should have been more verbose on _why_ I suggested that function; my bad).

[PATCH v2 04/12] X86/KVM: Handle PFNs outside of kernel reach when touching GPTEs

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

From: Filippo Sironi <sironi@amazon.de>

cmpxchg_gpte() calls get_user_pages_fast() to retrieve the number of
pages and the respective struct page to map in the kernel virtual
address space.
This doesn't work if get_user_pages_fast() is invoked with a userspace
virtual address that's backed by PFNs outside of kernel reach (e.g., when
limiting the kernel memory with mem= in the command line and using
/dev/mem to map memory).

If get_user_pages_fast() fails, look up the VMA that back the userspace
virtual address, compute the PFN and the physical address, and map it in
the kernel virtual address space with memremap().

[PATCH v2 05/12] KVM: Introduce a new guest mapping API

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

In KVM, specially for nested guests, there is a dominant pattern of:

	=> map guest memory -> do_something -> unmap guest memory

In addition to all this unnecessarily noise in the code due to boiler plate
code, most of the time the mapping function does not properly handle memory
that is not backed by "struct page". This new guest mapping API encapsulate
most of this boiler plate code and also handles guest memory that is not
backed by "struct page".

Keep in mind that memremap is horribly slow, so this mapping API should not
be used for high-frequency mapping operations. But rather for low-frequency
mappings.

[PATCH v2 07/12] KVM/nVMX: Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the virtual APIC page

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the virtual APIC page since using
kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest memory that has

One additional semantic change is that the virtual host mapping lifecycle
has changed a bit. It now has the same lifetime of the pinning of the
virtual APIC page on the host side.

[PATCH v2 08/12] KVM/nVMX: Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the posted interrupt descriptor table

[KarimAllah Ahmed]

Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the posted interrupt descriptor table since
using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest memory
that has a "struct page".

One additional semantic change is that the virtual host mapping lifecycle
has changed a bit. It now has the same lifetime of the pinning of the
interrupt descriptor table page on the host side.

I assume the caching will also be a separate patch.

It looks good except that I'd squash patches 4 and 9 together.  But I'd
like a second set of eyes to look at it.

Yup, do you want me to include it in this one? I already have it, I
just thought that I get those bits out first.

Yup, makes sense. I should have squashed them when I removed the 
lifecycle change!

Thanks for the review :)

Did anybody else end up reviewing these patches? And would it make sense
to repost a new version with the #4 and #9 squashed? Thanks.

No, no second review yet. I will squash and repost a new version.

BTW, Why did you want to squash these 2 patches specifically? They are 
very unrelated to me. The only common thing is that they switch from 
code that supports only "struct page" to code that supports PFN only
but this is also common for all other patches.

Probably at the time I was thinking they both affect cmpxchg, but really
they are gpte and emulator respectively.  Looks like I have 12 more
patches on my review queue then! *ouch*
