[PATCH v4 0/6] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix wrong usages of range-based tlb flushing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit c3134ce240eed ("KVM: Replace old tlb flush function with new one
to flush a specified range.") replaces old tlb flush function with
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address() to do tlb flushing. However, the
gfn range of tlb flushing is wrong in some cases. E.g., when a spte is
dropped, the start gfn of tlb flushing should be the gfn of spte not the
base gfn of SP which contains the spte. Although, as Paolo said, Hyper-V
may treat a 1-page flush the same if the address points to a huge page,
and no fixes are reported so far. So it seems that it works well for
Hyper-V. But it would be better to use the correct size for huge page.
So this patchset would fix them and introduce some helper functions as
David suggested to make the code clear.

Changed from v3:
- Move patch 1 after kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_sptep() is introduced,
  Drop kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_direct_sp() helper and use
  kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_sptep() instead.
- Wrap changelogs at ~75 chars.

Changed from v2:
- Introduce kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_gfn() in Patch 1 early.
- Move round_gfn_for_level() in tdp_iter.c into mmu_internal.h for
  common usage and cleanup the call sites of rounding down the GFN.
- Drop Patch 6.

Changed from v1:
- Align down gfn in kvm_set_pte_rmapp() instead of change iterator->gfn
  in rmap_walk_init_level() in Patch 2.
- Introduce some helper functions for common operations as David
  suggested.
