We are testing Virtual Machine with KSM on v5.4-rc2 kernel,
and found the zero_page refcount overflow.
The cause of refcount overflow is increased in try_async_pf
(get_user_page) without being decreased in mmu_set_spte()
while handling ept violation.
In kvm_release_pfn_clean(), only unreserved page will call
put_page. However, zero page is reserved.
So, as well as creating and destroy vm, the refcount of
zero page will continue to increase until it overflows.
step1:
echo 10000 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/pages_to_scan
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/run
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/use_zero_pages
step2:
just create several normal qemu kvm vms.
And destroy it after 10s.
Repeat this action all the time.
After a long period of time, all domains hang because
of the refcount of zero page overflow.
Qemu print error log as follow:
…
