[PATCH v3 1/1] KVM: arm64: Allow cacheable stage 2 mapping using VMA flags

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

 



From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@xxxxxxxxxx>

Today KVM forces the memory to either NORMAL or DEVICE_nGnRE
based on pfn_is_map_memory (which tracks whether the device memory
is added to the kernel) and ignores the per-VMA flags that indicates the
memory attributes. The KVM code is thus restrictive and allows only for
the memory that is added to the kernel to be marked as cacheable.

The device memory such as on the Grace Hopper/Blackwell systems
is interchangeable with DDR memory and retains properties such as
cacheability, unaligned accesses, atomics and handling of executable
faults. This requires the device memory to be mapped as NORMAL in
stage-2.

Given that the GPU device memory is not added to the kernel (but is rather
VMA mapped through remap_pfn_range() in nvgrace-gpu module which sets
VM_PFNMAP), pfn_is_map_memory() is false and thus KVM prevents such memory
to be mapped Normal cacheable. The patch aims to solve this use case.

A cachebility check is made if the VM_PFNMAP is set in VMA flags by
consulting the VMA pgprot value. If the pgprot mapping type is MT_NORMAL,
it is safe to be mapped cacheable as the KVM S2 will have the same
Normal memory type as the VMA has in the S1 and KVM has no additional
responsibility for safety. Checking pgprot as NORMAL is thus a KVM
sanity check.

Introduce a new variable cacheable_devmem to indicate a safely
cacheable mapping. Do not set the device variable when cacheable_devmem
is true. This essentially have the effect of setting stage-2 mapping
as NORMAL through kvm_pgtable_stage2_map.

Add check for COW VM_PFNMAP and refuse such mapping.

No additional checks for MTE are needed as kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region()
already tests it at an early stage during memslot creation. There would
not even be a fault if the memslot is not created.

Note when FWB is not enabled, the kernel expects to trivially do
cache management by flushing the memory by linearly converting a
kvm_pte to phys_addr to a KVA, see kvm_flush_dcache_to_poc(). The
cache management thus relies on memory being mapped. So do not allow
!FWB.
