Subject: [RFC PATCH kernel vfio] mm: vfio: Move pages out of CMA before pinning
This is about VFIO aka PCI passthrough used from QEMU.
KVM is irrelevant here.
QEMU is a machine emulator. It allocates guest RAM from anonymous memory
and these pages are movable which is ok. They may happen to be allocated
from the contiguous memory allocation zone (CMA). Which is also ok as
long they are movable.
However if the guest starts using VFIO (which can be hotplugged into
the guest), in most cases it involves DMA which requires guest RAM pages
to be pinned and not move once their addresses are programmed to
the hardware for DMA.
So we end up in a situation when quite many pages in CMA are not movable
anymore. And we get bunch of these:
[77306.513966] alloc_contig_range: [1f3800, 1f78c4) PFNs busy
[77306.514448] alloc_contig_range: [1f3800, 1f78c8) PFNs busy
[77306.514927] alloc_contig_range: [1f3800, 1f78cc) PFNs busy
This is a very rough patch to start the conversation about how to move
pages properly. mm/page_alloc.c does this and
arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_context_iommu.c exploits it.
Please do not comment on the style and code placement,
this is just to give some context :)
Obviously, this does not work well - it manages to migrate only few pages
and crashes as it is missing locks/disabling interrupts and I probably
should not just remove pages from LRU list (normally, I guess, only these
can migrate) and a million of other things.
The questions are:
- what is the correct way of telling if the page is in CMA?
is (get_pageblock_migratetype(page) == MIGRATE_CMA) good enough?
- how to tell MM to move page away? I am calling migrate_pages() with
an get_new_page callback which allocates a page with GFP_USER but without
GFP_MOVABLE which should allocate new page out of CMA which seems ok but
there is a little convern that we might want to add MOVABLE back when
VFIO device is unplugged from the guest.
- do I need to isolate pages by using isolate_migratepages_range,
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list like __alloc_contig_migrate_range does?
I dropped them for now and the patch uses only @migratepages from
the compact_control struct.
- are there any flags in madvise() to address this (could not
locate any relevant)?
- what else is missing? disabled interrupts? locks?
Thanks!
