In our armv8a server (QDF2400), I noticed a WARN_ON as follows:

Which kernel version is that? I don't have a WARN_ON() at this line in
4.17. Do you have a reproducer?
My running kernel version is v4.14-15, but I can reproduced it in 4.17 (start 20 guests and run memhog in the host)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The root cause might be: we can't guarantee that the parameter start and end
in handle_hva_to_gpa is PAGE_SIZE aligned, let alone hva_start and hva_end.
So why not aligning them the first place?
at the first place of handle_hva_to_gpa()?
but boundary check is needed in each loop of kvm_for_each_memslot. Am I missing anything here?

This bug is introduced by commit 056aad67f836 ("kvm: arm/arm64: Rework gpa
callback handlers")

It fixes the bug by use pfn size converted.

Fixes: 056aad67f836 ("kvm: arm/arm64: Rework gpa callback handlers")

But we're looking for the mapping in the same memslot, so the distance
between hva and hva_end is the same as the one between gpa and gpa_end
if you didn't align it.
maybe not, sometimes hva_end-hva != gpa_end-gpa
start=fffdc37f0200,hva_start=fffdc37f0200,end=fffdc3800200,hva_end=fffdc3800000,gpa=3ff0000,gfn_end=4000000

but sometimes it is:

IMO, the unalignment is caused by the ksm stable page flag STABLE_FLAG. I will
propose another ksm patch to fix itã
But from handle_hva_to_gpa's point of view, arm kvm needs to void the followup
exception, just like what powerpc andx86 have done.


As far as I can see this is triggered by someone (in this page_referenced_one via ksm?)
triggering a clear_flush_young for a page, with a non-aligned page address.

If you look at the code path, the __mmu_notifier_clear_flush_young is invoked
via 2 code paths with the "given" address.

ptep_clear_flush_young_notify(), in which case the end is set to + PAGE_SIZE
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify(), in which case the end is set to + PMD_SIZE

We were supposed to only clear_flush_young for *the page* containing
address (start), but we do a clear_flush_young for the next page
as well, which (I think) is not something intended. So to me, it looks like, either
page_referenced_one() or its caller must align the address to the PAGE_SIZE
or PMD_SIZE depending on what it really wants to do, to avoid touching
the adjacent entries (page or block pages).

Suzuki

Suzuki, thanks for the comments.

I proposed another ksm patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/3/1042
The root cause is ksm will add some extra flags to indicate that the page
is in/not_in the stable tree. This makes address not be aligned with PAGE_SIZE.

From arm kvm mmu point of view, do you think handle_hva_to_gpa still need to handle
the unalignment case?
IMO, the PAGE_SIZE alignment is still needed because we should not let the bottom function
kvm_age_hva_handler to handle the exception. Please refer to the implementation in X86 and
powerpc kvm_handle_hva_range(). They both aligned the hva with hva_to_gfn_memslot.

Cheers,
Jia

So why not align both start and end and skip the double lookup?

I'll let Suzuki comment on this, but I'm a bit suspicious of this patch.
sure, more comments, more clear for the issue.
