v2: Re-base patch one on top of altp2m series. New patch 2.

[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/HVM: hvm_map_guest_frame_rw() adjustments

[Jan Beulich]

... and its callers.

While all non-nested users are made fully honor the semantics of that
type, doing so in the nested case seemed insane (if doable at all,
considering VMCS shadowing), and hence there the respective operations
are simply made fail.

One case not (yet) taken care of is that of a page getting transitioned
to this type after a mapping got established.

v2: Cover new altp2m use too (all previous tags dropped).

[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/HVM: correct page dirty marking in hvm_map_guest_frame_rw()

[Jan Beulich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5080 bytes --]

Rather than dirtying a page when establishing a (permanent) mapping,
dirty it when the page gets unmapped, or - if still mapped - on the
final iteration of a save operation. (Transient mappings continue to
get dirtied upon getting mapped, to avoid the overhead of tracking.)

Map and unmap of non-permenant pages will happen in a stacked fashion,
so putting non-persistent pages on the head of the list will be more
efficient when walking the list for removal.

This is potentially a long running operation.  It might be easier to
ASSERT() an upper limit of mapped pages than to make this restartable.

I am not sure whether this is useful.  There are situations such as
memory snapshot where it is insufficient, as the domain doesn't suspend.

It would probably be better to hook this off a specific request from the
toolstack, as the migration code is in a far better position to know
whether this information is needed or can be deferred to the next iteration.

But this is dealing with permanent mappings.

I don't think I can come up with a sensible upper limit - do you have a
good suggestion (including a rationale)? Also I don't view this as an
immediate problem - as long as we're limiting HVM guests to 128 vCPU-s
we're not going to see many more than 128 such mappings, and even
those only from nested HVM code. (So to answer my question - 256
would seem a reasonable limit for now.)

Perhaps the condition could be refined then? And then - isn't
memory snapshot what Remus does (which I checked does a
suspend in the tool stack)?

Which next iteration (when we're talking about the final one)?

I considered tool stack involvement, but would like to go that
route only if unavoidable.

XenServer live memory snapshots of windows VMs uses a windows API to
quiesce IO, pauses the domain, performs a non-live save, then unpauses
the domain.

Such an action would want the these bits in the bitmap, but would not
match those conditions.

It is wrong for Xen to guess.  The toolstack should explicitly ask for
them when it wants them.

I have just written my slides for Seattle, which cover some of the
outstanding issues with regards to guests and logdirty.  As migration
with nested virt doesn't function at all, fixing these entries in the
logdirty bitmap is not urgent if you don't fancy extending/tweaking
xen_domctl_shadow_op.

As said - the conditions could be adjusted (e.g. to also include
tool stack paused domains).

Agreed - while I'd like patch 1 to go in for 4.6, this one can wait.

Is this a bug fix? I think so, but the title only says adjustment so I'd
better be sure.

Yes, it is (I had hoped that the description would be sufficient to
tell).

And I only now realize that I screwed up the title - what is here
was what 0/2 had; this patch really is supposed to be named
"x86/HVM: honor p2m_ram_ro in hvm_map_guest_frame_rw()"
just like its v1 was. I'm sorry for that.
