[PATCH v5.5 00/30] KVM: Scalable memslots implementation
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Nov 03 2021 - 20:28:45 EST
This series is an iteration of Maciej's scalable memslots work. It
addresses most, but not all, of my feedback from v5, hence the "5.5"
moniker. Specifically, I did not touch the iteration over gfn and hva
ranges as I would likely do more harm than good, especially in the gfn
iterator.
The core functionality of the series is unchanged from v5 (or at least,
it should be). Patches "Resolve memslot ID via a hash table" and "Keep
memslots in tree-based structures" are heavily reworked (the latter in
particular) to provide better continuity between patches and to avoid
the swap() logic when working with the "inactive" set of memslots. But
again, the changes are intended to be purely cosmetic.
Paolo, ideally I'd like get to patch 03 (and therefore patch 02) into 5.16.
The patch technically breaks backwards compatibility with 32-bit KVM, but
I'm quite confident none of the existing 32-bit architectures can possibly
work. RISC-V is the one exception where it's not obvious that creating
more guest memslot pages than can fit in an unsigned long won't fall on its
face. Since RISC-V is new in 5.16, I'd like to get that change in before
RISC-V can gain any users doing bizarre things.
s390 folks, please look closely at patch 11, "KVM: s390: Use "new" memslot
instead of userspace memory region". There's a subtle/weird functional
change in there that I can't imagine would negatively affect userspace,
but the end result is odd nonetheless.
Claudio, I dropped your R-b from "KVM: Integrate gfn_to_memslot_approx()
into search_memslots()" because I changed the code enough to break the s390
build at least once :-)
Patches 01 and 02 are bug fixes.
Patch 03 is fix of sorts to require that the total number of pages across
all memslots fit in an unsigned long. The existing 32-bit KVM
architectures don't correctly handle this case, and fixing those issues
would quite gross and a waste of time.
Patches 04-18 are cleanups throughout common KVM and all architectures
to fix some warts in the memslot APIs that allow for a cleaner (IMO)
of the tree-based memslots code. They also prep for more improvements
that are realized in the final patch.
Patches 19-28 are the core of Maciej's scalable memslots work.
Patches 29-30 take advantage of the tree-based memslots to avoid creating
a dummy "new" memslot on the stack, which simplifies the MOVE case and
aligns it with the other three memslot update cases.
v5.5
* Add all the pre- and post-work cleanups.
* Rebase to kvm/queue, commit 0d7d84498fb4 ("KVM: x86: SGX must...")
* Name innermost helper ____gfn_to_memslot() instead of ...approx. [Sean]
* Rework hash list patch and all subsequent tree modifications to use
common kvm_memslot_replace() helper. [Sean]
* Rework tree-based approach to avoid swap() by always pulling the
invalid memslot tree on-demand, and by relying on precise variables
names and comments (for the invidual memslot pointers).
v5:
* https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1632171478.git.maciej.szmigiero@xxxxxxxxxx
* Rebase onto v5.15-rc2 (torvalds/master),
* Fix 64-bit division of n_memslots_pages for 32-bit KVM,
* Collect Claudio's Reviewed-by tags for some of the patches.
