From 91648ec09c1ef69c4d840ab6dab391bfb452d554 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: pingfan liu Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 16:35:00 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: kvm: fix rare but potential deadlock scene Since kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() is called from both virtmode and realmode, so it can trigger the deadlock. Suppose the following scene: Two physical cpuM, cpuN, two VM instances A, B, each VM has a group of vcpus. If on cpuM, vcpu_A_1 holds bitlock X (HPTE_V_HVLOCK), then is switched out, and on cpuN, vcpu_A_2 try to lock X in realmode, then cpuN will be caught in realmode for a long time. What makes things even worse if the following happens, On cpuM, bitlockX is hold, on cpuN, Y is hold. vcpu_B_2 try to lock Y on cpuM in realmode vcpu_A_2 try to lock X on cpuN in realmode Oops! deadlock happens Signed-off-by: Liu Ping Fan Reviewed-by: Paul Mackerras CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf --- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c | 6 +++++- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c index 47bbeaf2d320..c5d148434c08 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c @@ -469,11 +469,14 @@ static int kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_hv_xlate(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, gva_t eaddr, slb_v = vcpu->kvm->arch.vrma_slb_v; } + preempt_disable(); /* Find the HPTE in the hash table */ index = kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte(kvm, eaddr, slb_v, HPTE_V_VALID | HPTE_V_ABSENT); - if (index < 0) + if (index < 0) { + preempt_enable(); return -ENOENT; + } hptep = (unsigned long *)(kvm->arch.hpt_virt + (index << 4)); v = hptep[0] & ~HPTE_V_HVLOCK; gr = kvm->arch.revmap[index].guest_rpte; @@ -481,6 +484,7 @@ static int kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_hv_xlate(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, gva_t eaddr, /* Unlock the HPTE */ asm volatile("lwsync" : : : "memory"); hptep[0] = v; + preempt_enable(); gpte->eaddr = eaddr; gpte->vpage = ((v & HPTE_V_AVPN) << 4) | ((eaddr >> 12) & 0xfff); diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c index fddbf989f37e..1931aa341a72 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c @@ -749,6 +749,10 @@ static int slb_base_page_shift[4] = { 20, /* 1M, unsupported */ }; +/* When called from virtmode, this func should be protected by + * preempt_disable(), otherwise, the holding of HPTE_V_HVLOCK + * can trigger deadlock issue. + */ long kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte(struct kvm *kvm, gva_t eaddr, unsigned long slb_v, unsigned long valid) { -- 2.39.5
