Linux Virtualization - Nov 2017 - [PATCH v17 0/6] Virtio-balloon Enhancement

This patch series enhances the existing virtio-balloon with the following
new features:
1) fast ballooning: transfer ballooned pages between the guest and host in
chunks using sgs, instead of one array each time; and
2) free page block reporting: a new virtqueue to report guest free pages
to the host.

The second feature can be used to accelerate live migration of VMs. Here
are some details:

Live migration needs to transfer the VM's memory from the source machine
to the destination round by round. For the 1st round, all the VM's memory
is transferred. From the 2nd round, only the pieces of memory that were
written by the guest (after the 1st round) are transferred. One method
that is popularly used by the hypervisor to track which part of memory is
written is to write-protect all the guest memory.

The second feature enables the optimization of the 1st round memory
transfer - the hypervisor can skip the transfer of guest free pages in the
1st round. It is not concerned that the memory pages are used after they
are given to the hypervisor as a hint of the free pages, because they will
be tracked by the hypervisor and transferred in the next round if they are
used and written.

ChangeLog:
v16->v17:
1) patch 1: please check the commit log there;
2) patch 3: included Michael S. Tsirkin patch to fix the potential
deadlock issue;
3) patch 4: use BUG_ON if virtqueue_add_ returns error, which is
expected never to happen;
4) patch 4: add leak_balloon_sg_oom, which is used in the oom case when
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG is in use;
5) patch 6: use config registers, instead of a vq, as the command channel
between the host and guest;
6) patch 6: add the command sequence id support.

v15->v16:
1) mm: stop reporting the free pfn range if the callback returns false;
2) mm: move some implementaion of walk_free_mem_block into a function to
make the code layout looks better;
3) xbitmap: added some optimizations suggested by Matthew, please refer to
the ChangLog in the xbitmap patch for details.
4) xbitmap: added a test suite
5) virtio-balloon: bail out with a warning when virtqueue_add_inbuf returns
an error
6) virtio-balloon: some small code re-arrangement, e.g. detachinf used buf
from the vq before adding a new buf

v14->v15:
1) mm: make the report callback return a bool value - returning 1 to stop
walking through the free page list.
2) virtio-balloon: batching sgs of balloon pages till the vq is full
3) virtio-balloon: create a new workqueue, rather than using the default
system_wq, to queue the free page reporting work item.
4) virtio-balloon: add a ctrl_vq to be a central control plane which will
handle all the future control related commands between the host and guest.
Add free page report as the first feature controlled under ctrl_vq, and
the free_page_vq is a data plane vq dedicated to the transmission of free
page blocks.

v13->v14:
1) xbitmap: move the code from lib/radix-tree.c to lib/xbitmap.c.
2) xbitmap: consolidate the implementation of xb_bit_set/clear/test into
one xb_bit_ops.
3) xbitmap: add documents for the exported APIs.
4) mm: rewrite the function to walk through free page blocks.
5) virtio-balloon: when reporting a free page blcok to the device, if the
vq is full (less likey to happen in practice), just skip reporting this
block, instead of busywaiting till an entry gets released.
6) virtio-balloon: fail the probe function if adding the signal buf in
init_vqs fails.

v12->v13:
1) mm: use a callback function to handle the the free page blocks from the
report function. This avoids exposing the zone internal to a kernel
module.
2) virtio-balloon: send balloon pages or a free page block using a single
sg each time. This has the benefits of simpler implementation with no new
APIs.
3) virtio-balloon: the free_page_vq is used to report free pages only (no
multiple usages interleaving)
4) virtio-balloon: Balloon pages and free page blocks are sent via input
sgs, and the completion signal to the host is sent via an output sg.

v11->v12:
1) xbitmap: use the xbitmap from Matthew Wilcox to record ballooned pages.
2) virtio-ring: enable the driver to build up a desc chain using vring
desc.
3) virtio-ring: Add locking to the existing START_USE() and END_USE()
macro to lock/unlock the vq when a vq operation starts/ends.
4) virtio-ring: add virtqueue_kick_sync() and virtqueue_kick_async()
5) virtio-balloon: describe chunks of ballooned pages and free pages
blocks directly using one or more chains of desc from the vq.

v10->v11:
1) virtio_balloon: use vring_desc to describe a chunk;
2) virtio_ring: support to add an indirect desc table to virtqueue;
3)  virtio_balloon: use cmdq to report guest memory statistics.

v9->v10:
1) mm: put report_unused_page_block() under CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON;
2) virtio-balloon: add virtballoon_validate();
3) virtio-balloon: msg format change;
4) virtio-balloon: move miscq handling to a task on system_freezable_wq;
5) virtio-balloon: code cleanup.

v8->v9:
1) Split the two new features, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_BALLOON_CHUNKS and
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MISC_VQ, which were mixed together in the previous
implementation;
2) Simpler function to get the free page block.

v7->v8:
1) Use only one chunk format, instead of two.
2) re-write the virtio-balloon implementation patch.
3) commit changes
4) patch re-org

2.7.4

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox at microsoft.com>

The eXtensible Bitmap is a sparse bitmap representation which is
efficient for set bits which tend to cluster.  It supports up to
'unsigned long' worth of bits, and this commit adds the bare bones --
xb_set_bit(), xb_clear_bit(), xb_clear_bit_range(), xb_test_bit(),
xb_find_next_set_bit(), xb_find_next_zero_bit().

More possible optimizations to add in the future:
1) xb_set_bit_range: set a range of bits.
2) when searching a bit, if the bit is not found in the slot, move on to
the next slot directly.
3) add Tags to help searching.

Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel at I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>

v16->v17 ChangeLog:
1) xb_preload: allocate ida bitmap before __radix_tree_preload() to avoid
kmalloc with preemption disabled. Also change this function to return with
preemption not disabled on error.
2) xb_preload_and_set_bit: a wrapper of xb_preload and xb_set_bit, for
the convenience of usage.

v15->v16 ChangeLog:
1) coding style - separate small functions for bit set/clear/test;
2) Clear a range of bits in a more efficient way:
   A) clear a range of bits from the same ida bitmap directly rather than
      search the bitmap again for each bit;
   B) when the range of bits to clear covers the whole ida bitmap,
      directly free the bitmap - no need to zero the bitmap first.
3) more efficient bit searching, like 2.A.

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox at microsoft.com>

Add the following tests for xbitmap:
1) single bit test: single bit set/clear/find;
2) bit range test: set/clear a range of bits and find a 0 or 1 bit in
the range.

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst.redhat.com>

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.

To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside
the lock.

Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:

In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&vb->balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup. Thus, do not wait for vb->balloon_lock mutex if
leak_balloon() is called from out_of_memory().

Thread1                                Thread2
fill_balloon()
 takes a balloon_lock
  balloon_page_enqueue()
   alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)
    direct reclaim (__GFP_FS context)  takes a fs lock
     waits for that fs lock             alloc_page(GFP_NOFS)
                                         __alloc_pages_may_oom()
                                          takes the oom_lock
                                           out_of_memory()
                                            blocking_notifier_call_chain()
                                             leak_balloon()
                                               tries to take that
					       balloon_lock and deadlocks

2.7.4

Add a new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG, which enables the transfer
of balloon (i.e. inflated/deflated) pages using scatter-gather lists
to the host.

The implementation of the previous virtio-balloon is not very
efficient, because the balloon pages are transferred to the
host one by one. Here is the breakdown of the time in percentage
spent on each step of the balloon inflating process (inflating
7GB of an 8GB idle guest).

1) allocating pages (6.5%)
2) sending PFNs to host (68.3%)
3) address translation (6.1%)
4) madvise (19%)

It takes about 4126ms for the inflating process to complete.
The above profiling shows that the bottlenecks are stage 2)
and stage 4).

This patch optimizes step 2) by transferring pages to the host in
sgs. An sg describes a chunk of guest physically continuous pages.
With this mechanism, step 4) can also be optimized by doing address
translation and madvise() in chunks rather than page by page.

With this new feature, the above ballooning process takes ~492ms
resulting in an improvement of ~88%.

TODO: optimize stage 1) by allocating/freeing a chunk of pages
instead of a single page each time.

This patch adds support to walk through the free page blocks in the
system and report them via a callback function. Some page blocks may
leave the free list after zone->lock is released, so it is the caller's
responsibility to either detect or prevent the use of such pages.

One use example of this patch is to accelerate live migration by skipping
the transfer of free pages reported from the guest. A popular method used
by the hypervisor to track which part of memory is written during live
migration is to write-protect all the guest memory. So, those pages that
are reported as free pages but are written after the report function
returns will be captured by the hypervisor, and they will be added to the
next round of memory transfer.

2.7.4

Negotiation of the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_VQ feature indicates the
support of reporting hints of guest free pages to the host via
virtio-balloon. The host requests the guest to report the free pages by
sending commands via the virtio-balloon configuration registers.

When the guest starts to report, the first element added to the free page
vq is a sequence id of the start reporting command. The id is given by
the host, and it indicates whether the following free pages correspond
to the command. For example, the host may stop the report and start again
with a new command id. The obsolete pages for the previous start command
can be detected by the id dismatching on the host. The id is added to the
vq using an output buffer, and the free pages are added to the vq using
input buffer.

Here are some explainations about the added configuration registers:
- host2guest_cmd: a register used by the host to send commands to the
guest.
- guest2host_cmd: written by the guest to ACK to the host about the
commands that have been received. The host will clear the corresponding
bits on the host2guest_cmd register. The guest also uses this register
to send commands to the host (e.g. when finish free page reporting).
- free_page_cmd_id: the sequence id of the free page report command
given by the host.

Want __must_check annotation, for __radix_tree_preload() is marked
with __must_check annotation. By error failing to check result of
xb_preload() will lead to preemption kept disabled unexpectedly.

Please drop "Thus, do not wait for vb->balloon_lock mutex if
leak_balloon()
is called from out_of_memory()." part. This is not what this patch will do.

Please describe why tell_host_sgs() can work without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM
allocation,
for tell_host_sgs() is called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held.

Isn't this leaking "page" ?

If this is inside vb->balloon_lock mutex (isn't this?), xb_set_page()
must not
use __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation, for leak_balloon_sg_oom() will be blocked
on vb->balloon_lock mutex.

Umm.  No.  You've duplicated xbitmap.c into the test framework, so now it
can
slowly get out of sync with the one in lib/.  That's not OK.

Put it back the way it was, with the patch I gave you as patch 1/n
(relocating xbitmap.c from tools/testing/radix-tree to lib/).
Then add your enhancements as patch 2/n.  All you should need to
change in your 1/n from
http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax.git/commit/727e401bee5ad7d37e0077291d90cc17475c6392
is a bit of Makefile tooling.  Leave the test suite embedded in the file;
that way people might remember to update the test suite when adding
new functionality.

Ping for comments, thanks.

I think there's an issue here: if pages are poisoned and hypervisor
subsequently drops them, testing them after allocation will
trigger a false positive.

The specific configuration:

PAGE_POISONING on
PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY off
PAGE_POISONING_ZERO off


Solutions:
1. disable the feature in that configuration
	suggested as an initial step
2. pass poison value to host so it can validate page content
   before it drops it
3. pass poison value to host so it can init allocated pages with that value

In fact one nice side effect would be that unmap
becomes safe even though free list is not locked anymore.

It would be interesting to see whether this last has
any value performance-wise.
