Create memslot 0 at 0x100000000 (4GiB) to avoid it overlapping with KVM's private memslot for the APIC-access page. Without this change running large-enough selftests (high number of vCPUs and/or guest memory) can result in KVM_CREATE_VCPU failing because the APIC-access page memslot overlaps memslot 0 created by the selftest: $ ./dirty_log_perf_test -v 256 -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -b 4G Test iterations: 2 Testing guest mode: PA-bits:ANY, VA-bits:48, 4K pages ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/kvm_util.c:1341: vcpu->fd >= 0 pid=53654 tid=53654 errno=17 - File exists (stack trace empty) KVM_CREATE_VCPU failed, rc: -1 errno: 17 (File exists) Signed-off-by: David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/processor.h | 6 ++++++ tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c | 7 ++++++- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/processor.h b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/processor.h index 3bd03b088dda..ee33528007ee 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/processor.h +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/x86_64/processor.h @@ -20,6 +20,12 @@ #include "../kvm_util.h" +/* + * Create memslot 0 at 4GiB to avoid overlapping with KVM's private memslot for + * the APIC-access page at 0xfee00000. + */ +#define KVM_UTIL_MEMSLOT0_GPA 0x100000000ULL + extern bool host_cpu_is_intel; extern bool host_cpu_is_amd; diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c index b2262b5fad9e..c8d7e66d308d 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c @@ -20,6 +20,10 @@ #define KVM_UTIL_MIN_PFN 2 +#ifndef KVM_UTIL_MEMSLOT0_GPA +#define KVM_UTIL_MEMSLOT0_GPA 0ULL +#endif + static int vcpu_mmap_sz(void); int open_path_or_exit(const char *path, int flags) @@ -418,7 +422,8 @@ struct kvm_vm *__vm_create(struct vm_shape shape, uint32_t nr_runnable_vcpus, vm = ____vm_create(shape); - vm_userspace_mem_region_add(vm, VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0, nr_pages, 0); + vm_userspace_mem_region_add(vm, VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS, + KVM_UTIL_MEMSLOT0_GPA, 0, nr_pages, 0); for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_REGIONS; i++) vm->memslots[i] = 0; base-commit: 0c64952fec3ea01cb5b09f00134200f3e7ab40d5 -- 2.44.0.278.ge034bb2e1d-goog
