[PATCH 08/28] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Reset reverse-map chains when resetting the HPT

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

 



From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx>

With HV-style KVM, we maintain reverse-mapping lists that enable us to
find all the HPT (hashed page table) entries that reference each guest
physical page, with the heads of the lists in the memslot->arch.rmap
arrays.  When we reset the HPT (i.e. when we reboot the VM), we clear
out all the HPT entries but we were not clearing out the reverse
mapping lists.  The result is that as we create new HPT entries, the
lists get corrupted, which can easily lead to loops, resulting in the
host kernel hanging when it tries to traverse those lists.

This fixes the problem by zeroing out all the reverse mapping lists
when we zero out the HPT.  This incidentally means that we are also
zeroing our record of the referenced and changed bits (not the bits
in the Linux PTEs, used by the Linux MM subsystem, but the bits used
by the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, and those used by kvm_age_hva() and
kvm_test_age_hva()).
