| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes bz 450641. This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for 509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located. It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2 (if it diverges from the first indirect block).

| * | KVM: VMX: Fix host msr corruption with preemption enabledAvi Kivity2008-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall. Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr switching during bootup. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: ioapic: fix lost interrupt when changing a device's irqAvi Kivity2008-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ioapic acknowledge path translates interrupt vectors to irqs. It currently uses a first match algorithm, stopping when it finds the first redirection table entry containing the vector. That fails however if the guest changes the irq to a different line, leaving the old redirection table entry in place (though masked). Result is interrupts not making it to the guest. Fix by always scanning the entire redirection table. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: MMU: Fix oops on guest userspace access to guest pagetableAvi Kivity2008-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables, it also oopses. This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply remove it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped. Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault handling path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit. It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen. For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable(). If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until a host interrupt is triggered. Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption, but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when the user space variable needs to be fixed up. The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user space. User space has no way to fixup that state. When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash bucket lock at this point to handle the fault. After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the user space variable: - the task which acquired the rtmutex - the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the first task already faulted the page in. One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the pi_state owner has been modified already.
