Hi Suzuki,
Why not making use of fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping()? Let it do
some checks for us.
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping() was intended to do a *two-step*
check to tell us that can we create stage2 huge block mappings, and this
check is both for hugetlbfs and THP. With commit a80868f398554842b14,
we pass PAGE_SIZE as "map_size" for normal size pages (which turned out
to be almost meaningless), and unfortunately the THP check no longer
works.
Thats correct.
So we want to rework *THP* check process. Your patch fixes the first
checking-step, but the second is still missed, am I wrong?
It fixes the step explicitly for the THP by making sure that the GPA and
the HVA are aligned to the map size.
Yes, I understand how your patch had fixed the issue. But what I'm
really concerned about here is the *second* checking-step in
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping().
We have to check if we are mapping a non-block aligned or non-block
sized memslot, if so, we can not create block mappings for the beginning
and end of this memslot. This is what the second part of
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping() had done.
I haven't seen this checking-step in your patch, did I miss something?
Can you please give a look at the below diff?
thanks,
zenghui

Somehow, I'd prefer keeping the VM_BUG_ON() here, let it report some
potential issues in the future (of course I hope none:) )
I don't think this calls for a VM_BUG_ON(). It is simply a case where
the GPA is not aligned to HVA, but for normal VMA that could be made THP.
We had this VM_BUG_ON(), which would have never hit because we would
have set force_pte if they were not aligned.
Yes, I agree.

Rework fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping(), let it check THP again.

This looks hackish. What is we support PUD_SIZE huge page in the future
?
Yes, this might make the code a little difficult to understand. But by
doing so, we follow the same logic before commit a80868f398554842b14,
that said, we do the two-step checking for normal size pages in
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping(), to decide if we can create THP
mappings for these pages.
As for PUD_SIZE THPs, to be honest, I have no idea now :(
thanks,

But personally I don't think this is the right way to fix it. And as
mentioned, the VM_BUG_ON() is unnecessary and could easily be triggered
by the user by using unaligned GPA/HVA. All we need to do is, use page
mapping in such cases, which we do with my patch.
Cheers
Suzuki
