[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Free previous EQ page when setting up a new one

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

 



The EQ page is allocated by the guest and then passed to the hypervisor
with the H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG hcall. A reference is taken on the page
before handing it over to the HW. This reference is dropped either when
the guest issues the H_INT_RESET hcall or when the KVM device is released.
But, the guest can legitimately call H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG several times
to reset the EQ (vCPU hot unplug) or set a new EQ (guest reboot). In both
cases the EQ page reference is leaked. This is especially visible when
the guest memory is backed with huge pages: start a VM up to the guest
userspace, either reboot it or unplug a vCPU, quit QEMU. The leak is
observed by comparing the value of HugePages_Free in /proc/meminfo before
and after the VM is run.

Note that the EQ reset path seems to be calling put_page() but this is
done after xive_native_configure_queue() which clears the qpage field
in the XIVE queue structure, ie. the put_page() block is a nop and the
previous page pointer was just overwritten anyway. In the other case of
configuring a new EQ page, nothing seems to be done to release the old
one.

Fix both cases by always calling put_page() on the existing EQ page in
kvmppc_xive_native_set_queue_config(). This is a seemless change for the
EQ reset case. However this causes xive_native_configure_queue() to be
called twice for the new EQ page case: one time to reset the EQ and another
time to configure the new page. This is needed because we cannot release
the EQ page before calling xive_native_configure_queue() since it may still
be used by the HW. We cannot modify xive_native_configure_queue() to drop
the reference either because this function is also used by the XICS-on-XIVE
device which requires free_pages() instead of put_page(). This isn't a big
deal anyway since H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG isn't a hot path.
