Linux Virtualization - Jun 2019 - [PATCH v12 2/7] virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver

This patch series is ready to be merged via nvdimm tree
 as discussed with Dan. We have ack/review on XFS, EXT4
 & VIRTIO patches. Device mapper change is also reviewed. 

 Mike, Can you please provide ack for device mapper change
 i.e patch4. 

 This version has changed implementation for patch 4 as
 suggested by 'Mike'. Keeping all the existing r-o-bs. Jakob
 CCed also tested the patch series and confirmed the working
 of v9.
 ---

 This patch series has implementation for "virtio pmem". 
 "virtio pmem" is fake persistent memory(nvdimm) in guest 
 which allows to bypass the guest page cache. This also
 implements a VIRTIO based asynchronous flush mechanism.  
 
 Sharing guest kernel driver in this patchset with the 
 changes suggested in v4. Tested with Qemu side device 
 emulation [5] for virtio-pmem. Documented the impact of
 possible page cache side channel attacks with suggested
 countermeasures.

 Details of project idea for 'virtio pmem' flushing interface 
 is shared [3] & [4].

 Implementation is divided into two parts:
 New virtio pmem guest driver and qemu code changes for new 
 virtio pmem paravirtualized device.

1. Guest virtio-pmem kernel driver
---------------------------------
   - Reads persistent memory range from paravirt device and 
     registers with 'nvdimm_bus'.  
   - 'nvdimm/pmem' driver uses this information to allocate 
     persistent memory region and setup filesystem operations 
     to the allocated memory. 
   - virtio pmem driver implements asynchronous flushing 
     interface to flush from guest to host.

2. Qemu virtio-pmem device
---------------------------------
   - Creates virtio pmem device and exposes a memory range to 
     KVM guest. 
   - At host side this is file backed memory which acts as 
     persistent memory. 
   - Qemu side flush uses aio thread pool API's and virtio 
     for asynchronous guest multi request handling. 

 Virtio-pmem security implications and countermeasures:
 -----------------------------------------------------

 In previous posting of kernel driver, there was discussion [7]
 on possible implications of page cache side channel attacks with 
 virtio pmem. After thorough analysis of details of known side 
 channel attacks, below are the suggestions:

 - Depends entirely on how host backing image file is mapped 
   into guest address space. 

 - virtio-pmem device emulation, by default shared mapping is used
   to map host backing file. It is recommended to use separate
   backing file at host side for every guest. This will prevent
   any possibility of executing common code from multiple guests
   and any chance of inferring guest local data based based on 
   execution time.

 - If backing file is required to be shared among multiple guests 
   it is recommended to don't support host page cache eviction 
   commands from the guest driver. This will avoid any possibility
   of inferring guest local data or host data from another guest. 

 - Proposed device specification [6] for virtio-pmem device with 
   details of possible security implications and suggested 
   countermeasures for device emulation.

 Virtio-pmem errors handling:
 ----------------------------------------
  Checked behaviour of virtio-pmem for below types of errors
  Need suggestions on expected behaviour for handling these errors?

  - Hardware Errors: Uncorrectable recoverable Errors: 
  a] virtio-pmem: 
    - As per current logic if error page belongs to Qemu process, 
      host MCE handler isolates(hwpoison) that page and send SIGBUS. 
      Qemu SIGBUS handler injects exception to KVM guest. 
    - KVM guest then isolates the page and send SIGBUS to guest 
      userspace process which has mapped the page. 
  
  b] Existing implementation for ACPI pmem driver: 
    - Handles such errors with MCE notifier and creates a list 
      of bad blocks. Read/direct access DAX operation return EIO 
      if accessed memory page fall in bad block list.
    - It also starts backgound scrubbing.  
    - Similar functionality can be reused in virtio-pmem with MCE 
      notifier but without scrubbing(no ACPI/ARS)? Need inputs to 
      confirm if this behaviour is ok or needs any change?

This patch adds functionality to perform flush from guest
to host over VIRTIO. We are registering a callback based
on 'nd_region' type. virtio_pmem driver requires this special
flush function. For rest of the region types we are registering
existing flush function. Report error returned by host fsync
failure to userspace.

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

This patch adds 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag which is set
for nd_region doing synchronous flush. This later
is used to disable MAP_SYNC functionality for
ext4 & xfs filesystem for devices don't support
synchronous flush.

This patch sets dax device 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag if all the target
devices of device mapper support synchrononous DAX. If device
mapper consists of both synchronous and asynchronous dax devices,
we don't set 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag.

'dm_table_supports_dax' is refactored to pass
'iterate_devices_fn'
as argument so that the callers can pass the appropriate functions.

This patch introduces 'daxdev_mapping_supported' helper
which checks if 'MAP_SYNC' is supported with filesystem
mapping. It also checks if corresponding dax_device is
synchronous. Virtio pmem device is asynchronous and
does not not support VM_SYNC.

Dont support 'MAP_SYNC' with non-DAX files and DAX files
with asynchronous dax_device. Virtio pmem provides
asynchronous host page cache flush mechanism. We don't
support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem and ext4.

I don't see an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for this function... should it get
one, or should it be made static?

Hm... by the comment above I would have thought that this is not really
an error, but rather a temporary condition? Maybe downgrade this to
dev_info()?

Does it make sense to kick if you couldn't add at all?

If this is dev_info, I think the error above really should be dev_info
as well (and maybe also log the error value)?

Thanks, and for the benefit of others, passing function pointers like
this is perfectly fine IMHO because this code is _not_ in the fast
path.  These methods are only for device creation.
