xen/balloon: set ballooned out pages as invalid in p2m

2014-07-04T14:17:43+00:00

Since cd9151e26d31048b2b5e00fd02e110e07d2200c9 (xen/balloon: set a
mapping for ballooned out pages), a ballooned out page had its entry
in the p2m set to the MFN of one of the scratch pages.  This means
that the p2m will contain many entries pointing to the same MFN.

During a domain save, these many-to-one entries are not identified as
such and the scratch page is saved multiple times. On restore the
ballooned pages are populated with new frames and the domain may use
up its allocation before all pages can be restored.

Since the original fix only needed to keep a mapping for the ballooned
page it is safe to set ballooned out pages as INVALID_P2M_ENTRY in the
p2m (as they were before). Thus preventing them from being saved and
re-populated on restore.

Pull CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat
  (with a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple
  subsystems that use CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to
  register them that will not lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline
  operations as described in the changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f ("CPU
  hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration
  functions").

  The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document
  it and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers
  and converts them to using the new method"

xen/balloon: flush persistent kmaps in correct position

2014-03-25T10:38:30+00:00

Xen balloon driver will update ballooned out pages' P2M entries to point
to scratch page for PV guests. In 24f69373e2 ("xen/balloon: don't alloc
page while non-preemptible", kmap_flush_unused was moved after updating
P2M table. In that case for 32 bit PV guest we might end up with

  P2M    X -----> S  (S is mfn of balloon scratch page)
  M2P    Y -----> X  (Y is mfn in persistent kmap entry)

kmap_flush_unused() iterates through all the PTEs in the kmap address
space, using pte_to_page() to obtain the page. If the p2m and the m2p
are inconsistent the incorrect page is returned.  This will clear
page->address on the wrong page which may cause subsequent oopses if
that page is currently kmap'ed.

Move the flush back between get_page and __set_phys_to_machine to fix
this.

xen, balloon: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration

2014-03-20T12:43:48+00:00

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

The xen balloon driver doesn't take get/put_online_cpus() around this code,
but that is also buggy, since it can miss CPU hotplug events in between the
initialization and callback registration:

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);
		   ^
		   |  Race window; Can miss CPU hotplug events here.
		   v
	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

Interestingly, the balloon code in xen can simply be reorganized as shown
below, to have a race-free method to register hotplug callbacks, without even
taking get/put_online_cpus(). This is because the initialization performed for
already online CPUs is exactly the same as that performed for CPUs that come
online later. Moreover, the code has checks in place to avoid double
initialization.

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the balloon code in xen this way to fix the issues with CPU
hotplug callback registration.

xen: simplify balloon_first_page() with list_first_entry_or_null()

2014-01-06T15:07:29+00:00

Replace the code logic at balloon_first_page() by calling
list_first_entry_or_null() directly.  since here is only
one user of that routine, therefore we can just remove it.

xen/balloon: Seperate the auto-translate logic properly (v2)

2013-12-13T16:20:30+00:00

The auto-xlat logic vs the non-xlat means that we don't need to for
auto-xlat guests (like PVH, HVM or ARM):
 - use P2M
 - use scratch page.

However the code in increase_reservation does modify the p2m for
auto_translate guests, but not in decrease_reservation.

Fix that by avoiding any p2m modifications in both increase_reservation
and decrease_reservation for auto_translated guests.

And also avoid allocating or using scratch pages for auto_translated guests.

Lastly, since !auto-xlat is really another way of saying 'xen_pv'
remove the redundant 'xen_pv_domain' check.

xen: delete new instances of added __cpuinit

2013-11-08T20:13:16+00:00

commit 6efa20e49b9cb1db1ab66870cc37323474a75a13
("xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs") and
commit cd9151e26d31048b2b5e00fd02e110e07d2200c9
( "xen/balloon: set a mapping for ballooned out pages")
added new instances of __cpuinit usage.

We removed this a couple versions ago; we now want to remove
the compat no-op stubs.  Introducing new users is not what
we want to see at this point in time, as it will break once
the stubs are gone.

xen/balloon: Set balloon's initial state to number of existing RAM pages

2013-11-08T20:13:03+00:00

Currently balloon's initial value is set to max_pfn which includes
non-RAM ranges such as MMIO hole. As result, initial memory target
(specified by guest's configuration file) will appear smaller than
what balloon driver perceives to be the current number of available
pages. Thus it will balloon down "extra" pages, decreasing amount of
available memory for no good reason.

get_balloon_scratch_page() disables preemption so we cannot call

The BUG_ON in increase_reservation is wrong as we have P2M entry
