[PATCH v2 06/15] KVM: arm64: Tear down unlinked stage-2 subtree after break-before-make

Oliver Upton oliver.upton at linux.dev
Fri Oct 7 16:28:09 PDT 2022


The break-before-make sequence is a bit annoying as it opens a window
wherein memory is unmapped from the guest. KVM should replace the PTE
as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary work in between.

Presently, the stage-2 map walker tears down a removed table before
installing a block mapping when coalescing a table into a block. As the
removed table is no longer visible to hardware walkers after the
DSB+TLBI, it is possible to move the remaining cleanup to happen after
installing the new PTE.

Reshuffle the stage-2 map walker to install the new block entry in
the pre-order callback. Unwire all of the teardown logic and replace
it with a call to kvm_pgtable_stage2_free_removed() after fixing
the PTE. The post-order visitor is now completely unnecessary, so drop
it. Finally, touch up the comments to better represent the now
simplified map walker.

Note that the call to tear down the unlinked stage-2 is indirected
as a subsequent change will use an RCU callback to trigger tear down.
RCU is not available to pKVM, so there is a need to use different
implementations on pKVM and non-pKVM VMs.

 /*
- * This is a little fiddly, as we use all three of the walk flags. The idea
- * is that the TABLE_PRE callback runs for table entries on the way down,
- * looking for table entries which we could conceivably replace with a
- * block entry for this mapping. If it finds one, then it sets the 'anchor'
- * field in 'struct stage2_map_data' to point at the table entry, before
- * clearing the entry to zero and descending into the now detached table.
- *
- * The behaviour of the LEAF callback then depends on whether or not the
- * anchor has been set. If not, then we're not using a block mapping higher
- * up the table and we perform the mapping at the existing leaves instead.
- * If, on the other hand, the anchor _is_ set, then we drop references to
- * all valid leaves so that the pages beneath the anchor can be freed.
+ * The TABLE_PRE callback runs for table entries on the way down, looking
+ * for table entries which we could conceivably replace with a block entry
+ * for this mapping. If it finds one it replaces the entry and calls
+ * kvm_pgtable_mm_ops::free_removed_table() to tear down the detached table.
  *
- * Finally, the TABLE_POST callback does nothing if the anchor has not
- * been set, but otherwise frees the page-table pages while walking back up
- * the page-table, installing the block entry when it revisits the anchor
- * pointer and clearing the anchor to NULL.
+ * Otherwise, the LEAF callback performs the mapping at the existing leaves
+ * instead.
