If we want to keep sp live while it it's out of kvm->mmu_lock protection,
we can increase sp->active_count.
Then, the invalid page is not only for active root but also unsync sp, we
should filter those out when we make a page to unsync.
And move 'hlist_del(&sp->hash_link)' into kvm_mmu_free_page(

Hi Avi, Marcelo,
patch 5 and patch 6 are can't apply to current kvm tree, i'll
rebase those two patches.
Marcelo, does this patchset fix your issue? I have tested it with
Fedora12/Ubuntu/CentOS 32/64 guests, it works well.
Thanks,

Originally VMCLEAR/VMPTRLD is called on vcpu migration. To
support hosted VMM coexistance, VMCLEAR is executed on vcpu

This could also eliminate the IPI when doing VMCLEAR.

SDM suggests VMXON should be called before VMPTRLD, and VMXOFF
should be called after doing VMCLEAR.
Therefore in vmm coexistence case, we should firstly call VMXON

operation is done.

The design of iofuzz is simple: it just generate random I/O port
activity inside the virtual machine. The correctness of the device

As the instrcutions are randomly generated, guest may enter the wrong

We keep a qlist of assigned devices for irq updates, but we forgot to

Two cases maybe happen in kvm_mmu_get_page() function:
- one case is, the goal sp is already in cache, if the sp is unsync,
we only need update it to assure this mapping is valid, but not
mark it sync and not write-protect sp->gfn since it not broke unsync
rule(one shadow page for a gfn)
-
In current code, shadow page can become asynchronous only if one
shadow page for a gfn, this rule is too strict, in fact, we can
let all last mapping page(i.e, it's the pte page) become unsync,
and sync them at invlpg or flush tlb time.
This patch allow more page become asynchronous at gfn mapping

Hi,
I have been toying around with kvm / libvirt / virt-manager and it's migration
feature.
Both host machines are running a 2.6.33 Kernel.
One host is a Dual Quad Core Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.27GHz and the other is a
Dual Quad Core Intel E5420 @ 2.

Hi Avi, Marcelo,
here is a set of patches which fix problems in kvm-amd. Patch 1 fixes a
stupid problem with the event-reinjection introduced by me in my
previous patchset. Patch 2 was a helper to find the bug patch 3 fixes.

Originally VMCLEAR/VMPTRLD is called on vcpu migration. To
support hosted VMM coexistance, VMCLEAR is executed on vcpu
schedule out, and VMPTRLD is executed on vcpu schedule in.
This could also eliminate the IPI when doing VMCLEAR.

Currently all fpu state access is through tsk->thread.xstate. Since we wish
to generalize fpu access to non-task contexts, wrap the state in a new
'struct fpu' and convert existing access to use an fpu API.
Signal frame handlers are not converted to the API since they will remain

Currently all fpu accessors are wedded to task_struct. However kvm also uses
the fpu in a different context. Introduce an FPU API, and replace the
current uses with the new API.
While this patchset is oriented towards deeper changes, as a first step it
simlifies xsave for kvm.

The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as
a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors.
The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to
avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all

Intel SDM also suggests that VMXOFF should be called after doing
VMCLEAR. Therefore VMXON should be called before VMPTRLD.

Main changes from v1:
1) Add an module option "vmm_coexistence" to decide whether to
enable this feature. Currently it is off defaultly.
2) Each time when a KVM vcpu is scheduled in, it will invalidate EPT
and VPID TLBs to avoid conflict between different VMMs.

Can't we run with the host xcr0? isn't it guaranteed to be a superset
