[RFC PATCH V2] vhost: don't use kmap() to log dirty pages

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

 



Vhost log dirty pages directly to a userspace bitmap through GUP and
kmap_atomic() since kernel doesn't have a set_bit_to_user()
helper. This will cause issues for the arch that has virtually tagged
caches. The way to fix is to keep using userspace virtual
address. Fortunately, futex has arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() which
could be used for setting a bit to user.

Note:
- There're archs (few non popular ones) that don't implement futex
  helper, we can't log dirty pages. We can fix them e.g for non
  virtually tagged archs implement a kmap fallback on top or simply
  disable LOG_ALL features of vhost.
- The helper also requires userspace pointer is located at 4-byte
  boundary, need to check during dirty log setting
