[PATCH kernel v2] KVM: PPC: Allocate guest TCEs on demand too

Fri Mar 1 12:38:27 AEDT 2019


We already allocate hardware TCE tables in multiple levels and skip
intermediate levels when we can, now it is a turn of the KVM TCE tables.
Thankfully these are allocated already in 2 levels.

This moves the table's last level allocation from the creating helper to
kvmppc_tce_put() and kvm_spapr_tce_fault().

This adds kvmppc_rm_ioba_validate() to do an additional test if
the consequent kvmppc_tce_put() needs a page which has not been allocated;
if this is the case, we bail out to virtual mode handlers.

Changes:
v2:
* added kvm mutex around alloc_page to prevent races; in both place we
test the pointer, if NULL, then take a lock and check again so on a fast
path we do not take a lock at all


---
For NVLink2 passthrough guests with 128TiB DMA windows and very fragmented
system RAM the difference is gigabytes of RAM.
