KVM/arm64 relies on TLBI RANGE feature to flush TLBs when the dirty
bitmap is collected by VMM and the corresponding PTEs need to be
write-protected again. Unfortunately, the operand passed to the TLBI
RANGE instruction isn't correctly sorted out by commit d1d3aa98b1d4
("arm64: tlb: Use the TLBI RANGE feature in arm64"). It leads to
crash on the destination VM after live migration because some of the
dirty pages are missed.

For example, I have a VM where 8GB memory is assigned, starting from
0x40000000 (1GB). Note that the host has 4KB as the base page size.
All TLBs for VM can be covered by one TLBI RANGE operation. However,
I receives 0xffff708000040000 as the operand, which is wrong and the
correct one should be 0x00007f8000040000. From the wrong operand, we
have 3 and 1 for SCALE (bits[45:44) and NUM (bits943:39], only 1GB
instead of 8GB memory is covered.

Fix the macro __TLBI_RANGE_NUM() so that the correct NUM and TLBI
RANGE operand are provided.

This looks pretty wrong, by the very definition of the comment that's
just above:

<quote>
/*

* __flush_tlb_range() loop below.
*/
</quote>

With your change, num can't ever be negative, and that breaks
__flush_tlb_range_op():

<quote>
num = __TLBI_RANGE_NUM(pages, scale); \
if (num >= 0) { \
addr = __TLBI_VADDR_RANGE(start >> shift, asid, \
scale, num, tlb_level); \
__tlbi(r##op, addr); \
if (tlbi_user) \
__tlbi_user(r##op, addr); \
start += __TLBI_RANGE_PAGES(num, scale) << PAGE_SHIFT; \
pages -= __TLBI_RANGE_PAGES(num, scale); \
} \
scale--; \
</quote>

We'll then shove whatever value we've found in the TLBI operation,
leading to unknown results instead of properly adjusting the scale to
issue a smaller invalidation.


Marc, thanks for your review and comments.

Indeed, this patch is incomplete at least. I think we need __TLBI_RANGE_NUM()
to return [-1 31] instead of [-1 30], to be consistent with MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES.
-1 will be rejected in the following loop. I'm not 100% sure if I did the correct
calculation though.

/*
* Generate 'num' values in range [-1 31], but -1 will be rejected
* by the __flush_tlb_range() loop below.
*/
#define __TLBI_RANGE_NUM(pages, scale) \
({ \
int __next = (pages) & (1ULL << (5 * (scale) + 6)); \
int __mask = ((pages) >> (5 * (scale) + 1)) & TLBI_RANGE_MASK; \
int __num = (((pages) >> (5 * (scale) + 1)) - 1) & \
TLBI_RANGE_MASK; \
(__next || __mask) ? __num : -1; \
})

I'm afraid I don't follow the logic here, and it looks awfully
complex. I came up with something simpler with this:

Thanks, Marc. Both your changes and mine worked, my issue can be fixed at least.
Your version is certainly simpler and clearer. I will integrate your changes to
v2 with TLB_RANGE_MASK dropped since no one will uses it any more.

Alternatively, we can also limit the number of pages to be invalidated from
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/pgtable.c::kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range() because the maximal
capacity is (MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES - 1) instead of MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES, as
the comments for __flush_tlb_range_nosync() say.

- inval_pages = min(pages, MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES);
+ inval_pages = min(pages, MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES - 1);


static inline void __flush_tlb_range_nosync(...)
{
:
/*

if ((!system_supports_tlb_range() &&
(end - start) >= (MAX_DVM_OPS * stride)) ||
pages >= MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES) {
flush_tlb_mm(vma->vm_mm);
return;
}
}

Please let me know which way is better.

I would really prefer to fix the range stuff itself instead of
papering over the problem by reducing the reach of the range
invalidation.


Yes, Agreed.


I think the problem is that you are triggering NUM=31 and SCALE=3,
which the current code cannot handle as per the comment above
__flush_tlb_range_op() (we can't do NUM=30 and SCALE=4, obviously).


Yes, exactly.

Can you try the untested patch below?

Thanks, but I don't think it's going to work. The loop will be running infinitely
because the condition 'if (num >= 0)' can't be met when @pages is 0x200000 when
@scale is 3/2/1/0 until @scale becomes negative and positive again, but @scale
isn't in range [0 3]. I ported the chunk of code to user-space and I can see this
with added printf() messages.

Yeah, we lose num==0, which is silly. Hopefully the hack above helps a
bit.


Yes, the hack works. Thank you again.

Thanks,
Gavin
