Note that there can be a slight difference with the old/new code, in that
an (especially malicious) userapp can logically ignore the DIRTY_RING_FULL
vmexit and keep kicking VCPU_RUN with the new code.
Unlike the old code, the 2nd/3rd/... KVM_RUN will still run in the new code
until the next dirty pfn being pushed to the ring, then it'll request ring
full exit again.
Each time it exits the ring grows 1.
At last iiuc it can easily hit the ring full and trigger the warning at the
entry of kvm_dirty_ring_push():
/* It should never get full */
WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_dirty_ring_full(ring));
We did that because kvm_dirty_ring_push() was previously designed to not be
able to fail at all (e.g., in the old bitmap world we never will fail too).
We can't because we can't lose any dirty page or migration could silently
fail too (consider when we do user exit due to ring full and migration just
completed; there could be unsynced pages on src/dst).
So even though the old approach will need to read kvm->dirty_ring_size for
every entrance which is a pity, it will avoid issue above.
Side note: for x86 the dirty ring check was put at the entrance not because
it needs to be the highest priority - it should really be the same when
check kvm requests. It's just that it'll be the fastest way to fail
properly if needed before loading mmu, disabling preemption/irq, etc.
