[GIT PULL 1/2] KVM: s390: pv: fix asynchronous teardown for small VMs

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

 



On machines without the Destroy Secure Configuration Fast UVC, the
topmost level of page tables is set aside and freed asynchronously
as last step of the asynchronous teardown.

Each gmap has a host_to_guest radix tree mapping host (userspace)
addresses (with 1M granularity) to gmap segment table entries (pmds).

If a guest is smaller than 2GB, the topmost level of page tables is the
segment table (i.e. there are only 2 levels). Replacing it means that
the pointers in the host_to_guest mapping would become stale and cause
all kinds of nasty issues.

This patch fixes the issue by disallowing asynchronous teardown for
guests with only 2 levels of page tables. Userspace should (and already
does) try using the normal destroy if the asynchronous one fails.

Update s390_replace_asce so it refuses to replace segment type ASCEs.
This is still needed in case the normal destroy VM fails.
