[PATCH v5 00/12] KVM: x86/xen: Add in-kernel Xen event channel delivery

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

 



Introduce the basic concept of 2 level event channels for kernel delivery,
which is just a simple matter of a few test_and_set_bit calls on a mapped
shared info page.

This can be used for routing MSI of passthrough devices to PIRQ event
channels in a Xen guest, and we can build on it for delivering IPIs and
timers directly from the kernel too.

v1: Use kvm_map_gfn() although I didn't quite see how it works.

v2: Avoid kvm_map_gfn() and implement a safe mapping with invalidation
    support for myself.

v3: Reinvent gfn_to_pfn_cache with sane invalidation semantics, for my
    use case as well as nesting.

v4: Rework dirty handling, as it became apparently that we need an active
    vCPU context to mark pages dirty so it can't be done from the MMU
    notifier duing the invalidation; it has to happen on unmap.

v5: Fix sparse warnings reported by kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>.

    Fix revalidation when memslots change but the resulting HVA stays
    the same. We can use the same kernel mapping in that case, if the
    HVA → PFN translation was valid before. So that probably means we
    shouldn't unmap the "old_hva". Augment the test case to exercise
    that one too.

    Include the fix for the dirty ring vs. Xen shinfo oops reported
    by butt3rflyh4ck <butterflyhuangxx@xxxxxxxxx>.


As in the previous two rounds, the last patch (this time patch 12) is
included as illustration of how we *might* use this for fixing the UAF
bugs in nesting, but isn't intended to be applied as-is. Patches 1-11 are.
