[PATCH v4 0/4] Enable async page faults on s390

From: Dominik Dingel
Date: Wed Jul 10 2013 - 09:01:45 EST


Gleb, Paolo,

based on the work from Martin and Carsten, this implementation enables async page faults.
To the guest it will provide the pfault interface, but internally it uses the
async page fault common code.

The inital submission and it's discussion can be followed on http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg63359.html .

There is a slight modification for common code to move from a pull to a push based approch on s390.
As s390 we don't want to wait till we leave the guest state to queue the notification interrupts.

To use this feature the controlling userspace hase to enable the capability.
With that knob we can later on disable this feature for live migration.

v3 -> v4
- Change "done" interrupts from local to floating
- Add a comment for clarification
- Change KVM_HAVE_ERR_BAD to move s390 implementation to s390 backend

v2 -> v3
- Reworked the architecture specific parts, to only provide on addtional
implementation
- Renamed function to kvm_async_page_present_(sync|async)
- Fixing KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD handling

v1 -> v2:
- Adding other architecture backends
- Adding documentation for the ioctl
- Improving the overall error handling
- Reducing the needed modifications on the common code

Dominik Dingel (4):
PF: Add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT for guest fault
PF: Make KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD usable on s390
PF: Provide additional direct page notification
PF: Async page fault support on s390
