If KVM_GMEM_NO_DIRECT_MAP is set, and KVM tries to internally access
guest-private memory inside kvm_{read,write}_guest, or via a
gfn_to_pfn_cache, temporarily restore the direct map entry.
To avoid race conditions between two threads restoring or zapping direct
map entries for the same page and potentially interfering with each
other (e.g. unfortune interweavings of map->read->unmap in the form of
map(A)->map(B)->read(A)->unmap(A)->read(B) [BOOM]), the following
invariant is upheld in this patch:
- Only a single gfn_to_pfn_cache can exist for any given pfn, and
- All non-gfn_to_pfn_cache code paths that temporarily restore direct
map entries complete the entire map->access->unmap critical section
while holding the folio lock.
To remember whether a given folio currently has a direct map entry, use
the PG_private flag. If this flag is set, then the folio is removed from
the direct map, otherwise it is present in the direct map.
Modifications of this flag, together with the corresponding direct map
manipulations, must happen while holding the folio's lock.
A gfn_to_pfn_cache cannot hold the folio lock for its entire lifetime,
so it operates as follows: In gpc_map, under folio lock, restore the
direct map entry and set PG_private to 0. In gpc_unmap, zap the direct
map entry again and set PG_private back to 1.
If inside gpc_map the cache finds a folio that has PG_private set to 0,
it knows that another gfn_to_pfn_cache is currently active for the given
pfn (as this is the only scenario in which PG_private can be 0 without
the folio lock being held), and so it returns -EINVAL.
The only other interesting scenario is then if kvm_{read,write}_guest is
called for a gfn whose translation is currently cached inside a
gfn_to_pfn_cache. In this case, kvm_{read,write}_guest notices that
PG_private is 0 and skips all direct map manipulations. Since it is
holding the folio lock, it can be sure that gpc_unmap cannot
concurrently zap the direct map entries while kvm_{read,write}_guest
still needs them.
Note that this implementation is slightly too restrictive, as sometimes
multiple gfn_to_pfn_caches need to be active for the same gfn (for
example, each vCPU has its own kvm-clock structure, which they all try
to put into the same gfn).
