PATCH RESEND v2 1/1 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA

From: Balbir Singh <[email protected]>
Subject: [RESEND][v2][PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA

When PCI Device pass-through is enabled via VFIO, KVM-PPC will pin pages using get_user_pages_fast(). One of the downsides of the pinning is that the page could be in CMA region. The CMA region is used for other allocations like the hash page table. Ideally we want the pinned pages to be from non CMA region.

This patch (currently only for KVM PPC with VFIO) forcefully migrates the pages out (huge pages are omitted for the moment). There are more efficient ways of doing this, but that might be elaborate and might impact a larger audience beyond just the kvm ppc implementation.

The magic is in new_iommu_non_cma_page() which allocates the new page from a non CMA region.

I've tested the patches lightly at my end, but there might be bugs For example if after lru_add_drain(), the page is not isolated is this a BUG?

Thanks! I tested this patch against latest mainline and here are the test results

System RAM - 64GB

VM instance 1 - size 55GB

Before patch - nr_free_cma after launch 8900
After patch - nr_free_cma after launch 39500

Also should not

I don't think that is required, may be I can do a VM_WARN_ON for debugging

I guess I asked this last time. Shouldn't this be lru_add_drain_all() ? What if the page is in other cpu's pagevec ?

From: Balbir Singh <[email protected]>
Subject: [RESEND][v2][PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA

When PCI Device pass-through is enabled via VFIO, KVM-PPC will pin pages using get_user_pages_fast(). One of the downsides of the pinning is that the page could be in CMA region. The CMA region is used for other allocations like the hash page table. Ideally we want the pinned pages to be from non CMA region.

This patch (currently only for KVM PPC with VFIO) forcefully migrates the pages out (huge pages are omitted for the moment). There are more efficient ways of doing this, but that might be elaborate and might impact a larger audience beyond just the kvm ppc implementation.

The magic is in new_iommu_non_cma_page() which allocates the new page from a non CMA region.

I've tested the patches lightly at my end, but there might be bugs For example if after lru_add_drain(), the page is not isolated is this a BUG?

Doesn't a PageCompound check cover all ?

Yes, I was being overly conservative with the checks

lru_add_drain_all() is too expensive for a per-page migration. This is best effort. If it is on the pagevec of another CPU, we skip it -- see v3

I say gup, because we'll do gup after this point if migration fails and that we reacquire the reference lost here.

Yes, it is a TODO. Here is my order of preference

1. get this in
2. Get THP migration in -- larger workset
3. Do page aggregation for both 1 and 2
