[PATCH V2 0/4] Fix kvm misconceives NVDIMM pages as reserved mmio

[PATCH V2 0/4] Fix kvm misconceives NVDIMM pages as reserved mmio

[Zhang Yi]

For device specific memory space, when we move these area of pfn to
memory zone, we will set the page reserved flag at that time, some of
these reserved for device mmio, and some of these are not, such as
NVDIMM pmem.

Now, we map these dev_dax or fs_dax pages to kvm for DIMM/NVDIMM
backend, since these pages are reserved. the check of
kvm_is_reserved_pfn() misconceives those pages as MMIO. Therefor, we
introduce 2 page map types, MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX/MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX,
to indentify these pages are from NVDIMM pmem. and let kvm treat these
as normal pages.

Without this patch, Many operations will be missed due to this
mistreatment to pmem pages. For example, a page may not have chance to
be unpinned for KVM guest(in kvm_release_pfn_clean); not able to be
marked as dirty/accessed(in kvm_set_pfn_dirty/accessed) etc.

V1:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/4/91

V2:
*Add documentation for MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX memory type in comment block
*Add is_dax_page() in mm.h to differentiate the pages is from DAX device.
*Remove the function kvm_is_nd_pfn().

Zhang Yi (4):
  kvm: remove redundant reserved page check
  mm: introduce memory type MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX
  mm: add a function to differentiate the pages is from DAX device
    memory
  kvm: add a check if pfn is from NVDIMM pmem.

[PATCH V2 1/4] kvm: remove redundant reserved page check

[Zhang Yi]

PageReserved() is already checked inside kvm_is_reserved_pfn(),
remove it from kvm_set_pfn_dirty().

[PATCH V2 2/4] mm: introduce memory type MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX

[Zhang Yi]

Currently, NVDIMM pages will be marked 'PageReserved'. However, unlike
other reserved PFNs, pages on NVDIMM shall still behave like normal ones
in many cases, i.e. when used as backend memory of KVM guest. This patch
introduces a new memory type, MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX. And set this flag
while dax driver hotplug the device memory.

So I believe the description should be in terms of what kind of memory is
the MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX type, not how users use this type. See comments
for other memory types...

[PATCH V2 3/4] mm: add a function to differentiate the pages is from DAX device memory

[Zhang Yi]

DAX driver hotplug the device memory and move it to memory zone, these
pages will be marked reserved flag, however, some other kernel componet
will misconceive these pages are reserved mmio (ex: we map these dev_dax
or fs_dax pages to kvm for DIMM/NVDIMM backend). Together with the type
MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX, we can use is_dax_page() to differentiate the pages
is DAX device memory or not.
