This patch is causing new warnings to appear when testing migration, like this: [ 142.090159] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 142.090160] find_kvm_secondary_pte called with kvm mmu_lock not held [ 142.090176] WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 5341 at arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_book3s_64.h:644 kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_radix+0x2e4/0x340 [kvm_hv] [ 142.090177] Modules linked in: xt_conntrack nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 libcrc32c bridge stp llc ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_filter ip6_tables bpfilter overlay binfmt_misc input_leds raid_class scsi_transport_sas sch_fq_codel sunrpc kvm_hv kvm [ 142.090188] CPU: 23 PID: 5341 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Tainted: G W 5.7.0-rc5-kvm-00211-g9ccf10d6d088 #432 [ 142.090189] NIP: c008000000fe848c LR: c008000000fe8488 CTR: 0000000000000000 [ 142.090190] REGS: c000001e19f077e0 TRAP: 0700 Tainted: G W (5.7.0-rc5-kvm-00211-g9ccf10d6d088) [ 142.090191] MSR: 9000000000029033 <SF,HV,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 42222422 XER: 20040000 [ 142.090196] CFAR: c00000000012f5ac IRQMASK: 0 GPR00: c008000000fe8488 c000001e19f07a70 c008000000ffe200 0000000000000039 GPR04: 0000000000000001 c000001ffc8b4900 0000000000018840 0000000000000007 GPR08: 0000000000000003 0000000000000001 0000000000000007 0000000000000001 GPR12: 0000000000002000 c000001fff6d9400 000000011f884678 00007fff70b70000 GPR16: 00007fff7137cb90 00007fff7dcb4410 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 GPR20: 000000000ffe0000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 GPR24: 8000000000000000 0000000000000001 c000001e1f67e600 c000001e1fd82410 GPR28: 0000000000001000 c000001e2e410000 0000000000000fff 0000000000000ffe [ 142.090217] NIP [c008000000fe848c] kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_radix+0x2e4/0x340 [kvm_hv] [ 142.090223] LR [c008000000fe8488] kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_radix+0x2e0/0x340 [kvm_hv] [ 142.090224] Call Trace: [ 142.090230] [c000001e19f07a70] [c008000000fe8488] kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_radix+0x2e0/0x340 [kvm_hv] (unreliable) [ 142.090236] [c000001e19f07b50] [c008000000fd42e4] kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log_hv+0x33c/0x3c0 [kvm_hv] [ 142.090292] [c000001e19f07be0] [c008000000eea878] kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log+0x30/0x50 [kvm] [ 142.090300] [c000001e19f07c00] [c008000000edc818] kvm_vm_ioctl+0x2b0/0xc00 [kvm] [ 142.090302] [c000001e19f07d50] [c00000000046e148] ksys_ioctl+0xf8/0x150 [ 142.090305] [c000001e19f07da0] [c00000000046e1c8] sys_ioctl+0x28/0x80 [ 142.090307] [c000001e19f07dc0] [c00000000003652c] system_call_exception+0x16c/0x240 [ 142.090309] [c000001e19f07e20] [c00000000000d070] system_call_common+0xf0/0x278 [ 142.090310] Instruction dump: [ 142.090312] 7d3a512a 4200ffd0 7ffefb78 4bfffdc4 60000000 3c820000 e8848468 3c620000 [ 142.090317] e86384a8 38840010 4800673d e8410018 <0fe00000> 4bfffdd4 60000000 60000000 [ 142.090322] ---[ end trace 619d45057b6919e0 ]--- Indeed, kvm_radix_test_clear_dirty() tests the PTE dirty bit locklessly, and only takes the kvm->mmu_lock once it finds a dirty PTE. I think that is important for performance, since on any given scan of the guest real address space we may only find a small proportion of the guest pages to be dirty. Are you now relying on the kvm->mmu_lock to protect the existence of the PTEs, or just their content? Paul.
