[PATCH 0/4] Improve dirty ring warning report

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

 



It has been known case where no running VCPU context exists when the
vgic/its tables are saved. There are other two unknown cases where we
don't have the running VCPU context: (a) saving vgic3 LPI pending status
and (b) saving vgic3 pending tables. Besides, the warning reports in
mark_page_dirty_in_slot() is triggered even the dirty ring hasn't been
enabled by the user space. It's not the unexpected behaviour.

PATCH[1 - 2] Fixes the no-running VCPU context issue when vgic3 LPI
             and vgic3 pending table are saved.
PATCH[3 - 4] Improve the warning reports by enabling them when the
             dirty ring has been enabled by the user space.

Gavin Shan (4):
  KVM: arm64: Allow saving vgic3 LPI pending status in no running vcpu
    context
  KVM: arm64: Allow saving vgic3 pending tables in no running vcpu
    context
  KVM: Refactor mark_page_dirty_in_slot()
  KVM: Improve warning report in mark_page_dirty_in_slot()
