We still need to reset the bitmap here, clearing and re-adding the
pages that are still pinned.

I thought you agreed on my reply to it

As coded, dirty bits are only ever set in the bitmap, never cleared.
If a page is unpinned between iterations of the user recording the
dirty bitmap, it should be marked dirty in the iteration immediately
after the unpinning and not marked dirty in the following iteration.
That doesn't happen here. We're reporting cumulative dirty pages since
logging was enabled, we need to be reporting dirty pages since the user
last retrieved the dirty bitmap. The bitmap should be cleared and
currently pinned pages re-added after copying to the user. Thanks,
Does that mean, we have to track every iteration? do we really need that
tracking?
Generally the flow is:
- vendor driver pin x pages
- Enter pre-copy-phase where vCPUs are running - user starts dirty pages
tracking, then user asks dirty bitmap, x pages reported dirty by
VFIO_IOMMU_DIRTY_PAGES ioctl with _GET flag
- In pre-copy phase, vendor driver pins y more pages, now bitmap
consists of x+y bits set
- In pre-copy phase, vendor driver unpins z pages, but bitmap is not
updated, so again bitmap consists of x+y bits set.
- Enter in stop-and-copy phase, vCPUs are stopped, mdev devices are stopped
- user asks dirty bitmap - Since here vCPU and mdev devices are stopped,
pages should not get dirty by guest driver or the physical device.
Hence, x+y dirty pages would be reported.
I don't think we need to track every iteration of bitmap reporting.
Thanks,
