[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [PATCH V4 03/15] x86/pv: Rewrite how building PV dom0 handles domheap mappings
Hi,
I've been trying to run this series for a while, but it crashes very
frequentyly starting from the patch that generalizes the mapcache. I think I've
tracked it down to this patch.

In here l4start is mapped on the idle domain perdomain area, but...

... l4start is not unmapped here. This is a problem, because we're about to
change the page tables into dom0's and start using its mapcache.
IMO, we should be unmapping here, and remapping in dom0's context. Otherwise
l4start becomes a transiently stale pointer. Any remaining pointer obtained via
map_domain_page() is a dangling pointer after the mapcache+pagetable switch.

As it is, this unmap is operating on the wrong mapcache, I think. I don't quite
understand why I see intermittent boot crashes and not constant ones, but this
seems like a bug.
What we want, I think, is:
1. Increase the scope of l4start_mfn to be function-level.
2. Do UNMAP_DOMAIN_PAGE(l4start) along with l1start, l2start and l3start.
3. Include a pair of map_domain_page() and UNMAP_DOMAIN_PAGE() within the
conditional, surrounding pv_shim_setup_dom.

I'll keep testing it in case I missed something, but this seems to work.
Cheers,
Alejandro
