Re: [PATCH 5/7] KVM: x86: Implement KVM_HYPERV_SET_TLB_FLUSH_INHIBIT

Nikolas Wipper nikwip@amazon.de writes:

Implement KVM_HYPERV_SET_TLB_FLUSH_INHIBIT for x86. Apart from setting/ clearing the internal TLB flush inhibit flag this ioctl also wakes up vCPUs suspended and waiting on this vCPU.

When the flag is set, a vCPU trying to flush the inhibited vCPUs TLB with a Hyper-V hyper-call suspendeds until the bit is cleared again. The hyper- call finishes internally, but the instruction isn't skipped, and execution doesn't return to the guest. This behaviour and the suspended state itself are specified in Microsoft's "Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification" (TLFS).

To maintain thread safety during suspension and unsuspension, the IOCTL uses the KVM SRCU. After flipping the flush inhibit flag, it synchronizes SRCU to ensure that all running TLB flush attempts that saw the old state, finish before the IOCTL exits. If the flag was changed to inhibit new TLB flushes, this guarantees that no TLB flushes happen once the ioctl exits. If the flag was changed to no longer inhibit TLB flushes, the synchronization ensures that all suspended CPUs finished entering the suspended state properly, so they can be unsuspended again.

Once TLB flushes are no longer inhibited, all suspended vCPUs are unsuspended.

This is basically boolean, right? And we only make it 'int' to be able to store 'u8' from the ioctl? This doesn't look very clean. Do you envision anything but '1'/'0' in 'inhibit'? If not, maybe we can just make it a flag (and e.g. extend 'flags' to be u32/u64)? This way we can convert 'tlb_flush_inhibit' to a normal bool.

These READ_ONCEs make me think I misunderstand something here, please bear with me :-).

Like we're trying to protect against 'tlb_flush_inhibit' being read somewhere in the beginning of the function and want to generate real memory accesses. But what happens if tlb_flush_inhibit changes right _after_ we checked it here and _before_ we actuall do kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask()? Wouldn't it be a problem? In case it would, I think we need to reverse the order: do kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() anyway and after it go through vcpu_mask checking whether any of the affected vCPUs has 'tlb_flush_inhibit' and if it does, suspend the caller.
