[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] make sure PGC_extra pages are dealt with properly

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] make sure PGC_extra pages are dealt with properly

[Paul Durrant]

This series was formerly called "remove one more shared xenheap page:
shared_info" but I have dropped the patches actually changing shared_info
and just left the PGC_extra clean-up that was previously intertwined.

Paul Durrant (3):
  mm: keep PGC_extra pages on a separate list
  x86 / ioreq: use a MEMF_no_refcount allocation for server pages...
  mm: add 'is_special_page' inline function...

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] mm: keep PGC_extra pages on a separate list

[Paul Durrant]

This patch adds a new page_list_head into struct domain to hold PGC_extra
pages. This avoids them getting confused with 'normal' domheap pages where
the domain's page_list is walked.

A new dump loop is also added to dump_pageframe_info() to unconditionally
dump the 'extra page list'.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 2/3] x86 / ioreq: use a MEMF_no_refcount allocation for server pages...

[Paul Durrant]

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>

... now that it is safe to assign them.

This avoids relying on libxl (or whatever toolstack is in use) setting
max_pages up with sufficient 'slop' to allow all necessary ioreq server
pages to be allocated.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 3/3] mm: add 'is_special_page' inline function...

[Paul Durrant]

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>

... to cover xenheap and PGC_extra pages.

PGC_extra pages are intended to hold data structures that are associated
with a domain and may be mapped by that domain. They should not be treated
as 'normal' guest pages (i.e. RAM or page tables). Hence, in many cases
where code currently tests is_xen_heap_page() it should also check for
the PGC_extra bit in 'count_info'.

This patch therefore defines is_special_page() to cover both cases and
converts tests of is_xen_heap_page() (or open coded tests of PGC_xen_heap)
to is_special_page() where the page is assigned to a domain.

v7:
 - Fixed some uses of is_xen_heap_mfn() that I'd missed
 - Updated commit comment to point out that only tests on assigned xenheap
   pages are candidates for conversion

v6:
 - Convert open-coded checks of PGC_xen_heap to use is_special_page()
   where appropriate

v4:
 - Use inline function instead of macro
 - Add missing conversions from is_xen_heap_page()

v3:
 - Delete obsolete comment.

So I'm confused - I had just replied twice to v6 patch 5/5. This
series calls itself v4 and consists of the middle three patches
of what v6 was. What's the deal? Is this really v7, and the two
patches have been dropped / postponed?

Sorry, I clearly got confused with numbering against one of my other series. Yes, this should be v7.

I wanted to send the patches that clear up use of PGC_extra, separating from the change to shared_info since I'm pressed for time to complete all the other conversions from xenheap pages such that I can send them as a single series.
