Hi Suzuki,
Why not making use of fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping()? Let
it do
some checks for us.
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping() was intended to do a *two-step*
check to tell us that can we create stage2 huge block mappings,
and this
check is both for hugetlbfs and THP. With commit
a80868f398554842b14,
we pass PAGE_SIZE as "map_size" for normal size pages (which
turned out
to be almost meaningless), and unfortunately the THP check no longer
works.
Thats correct.
So we want to rework *THP* check process. Your patch fixes the first
checking-step, but the second is still missed, am I wrong?
It fixes the step explicitly for the THP by making sure that the
GPA and
the HVA are aligned to the map size.
Yes, I understand how your patch had fixed the issue. But what I'm
really concerned about here is the *second* checking-step in
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping().
We have to check if we are mapping a non-block aligned or non-block
sized memslot, if so, we can not create block mappings for the
beginning
and end of this memslot. This is what the second part of
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping() had done.
I haven't seen this checking-step in your patch, did I miss something?
I see.
I don't think this calls for a VM_BUG_ON(). It is simply a case where
the GPA is not aligned to HVA, but for normal VMA that could be
made THP.
We had this VM_BUG_ON(), which would have never hit because we would
have set force_pte if they were not aligned.
Yes, I agree.

Yes, this might make the code a little difficult to understand. But by
doing so, we follow the same logic before commit a80868f398554842b14,
that said, we do the two-step checking for normal size pages in
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping(), to decide if we can create THP
mappings for these pages.
As for PUD_SIZE THPs, to be honest, I have no idea now :(

(One minor concern: With this change, it seems that we no longer need

much related to what we're fixing.)
I would still leave the force_pte there to avoid checking for a THP case
in a situation where we forced to PTE level mapping on a hugepage backed
VMA. It would serve to avoid another check.
Hi Suzuki,
Yes, I agree, thanks.
Cool, I have a patch to fix this properly and two other patches to clean up
and unify the way we handle the THP backed hugepages. Will send them out after
a bit of testing, later today.
Cheers

This looks hackish. What is we support PUD_SIZE huge page in the future

Yes, this might make the code a little difficult to understand. But by
doing so, we follow the same logic before commit a80868f398554842b14,
that said, we do the two-step checking for normal size pages in
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping(), to decide if we can create THP
mappings for these pages.
As for PUD_SIZE THPs, to be honest, I have no idea now :(

Hi Suzuki,
Why not making use of fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping()? Let it do
some checks for us.
fault_supports_stage2_huge_mapping() was intended to do a *two-step*
check to tell us that can we create stage2 huge block mappings, and this
check is both for hugetlbfs and THP. With commit a80868f398554842b14,
we pass PAGE_SIZE as "map_size" for normal size pages (which turned out
to be almost meaningless), and unfortunately the THP check no longer
works.
Thats correct.
So we want to rework *THP* check process. Your patch fixes the first
checking-step, but the second is still missed, am I wrong?
It fixes the step explicitly for the THP by making sure that the GPA and
the HVA are aligned to the map size.
Can you please give a look at the below diff?
thanks,
zenghui

But personally I don't think this is the right way to fix it. And as
mentioned, the VM_BUG_ON() is unnecessary and could easily be triggered
by the user by using unaligned GPA/HVA. All we need to do is, use page
mapping in such cases, which we do with my patch.
Cheers

I was able to reproduce this issue on v5.1-rc3 on a SoftIron Overdrive 1000
(AMD Seattle (Rev.B1)) with defconfig+ARM64_64K_PAGES with:
qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu host -machine type=virt,accel=kvm -nographic -smp 4
-m 4096 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-7-arm64 --append "console=ttyAMA0
default_hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256"
The 'default_hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256' had no effect on the reproducibility,
however the guest only intermittently failed to boot. Applying the above
patch fixed this and the guest boots every time.
