KVM: x86: Trigger I/O APIC route rescan in kvm_arch_irq_routing_update()

2025-06-20T20:52:41Z

Trigger the I/O APIC route rescan that's performed for a split IRQ chip after userspace updates IRQ routes in kvm_arch_irq_routing_update(), i.e. before dropping kvm->irq_lock. Calling kvm_make_all_cpus_request() under a mutex is perfectly safe, and the smp_wmb()+smp_mb__after_atomic() pair in __kvm_make_request()+kvm_check_request() ensures the new routing is visible to vCPUs prior to the request being visible to vCPUs. In all likelihood, commit b053b2aef25d ("KVM: x86: Add EOI exit bitmap inference") somewhat arbitrarily made the request outside of irq_lock to avoid holding irq_lock any longer than is strictly necessary. And then commit abdb080f7ac8 ("kvm/irqchip: kvm_arch_irq_routing_update renaming split") took the easy route of adding another arch hook instead of risking a functional change. Note, the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited() does NOT provide ordering guarantees with respect to vCPUs scanning the new routing; as above, the request infrastructure provides the necessary ordering. I.e. there's no need to wait for kvm_scan_ioapic_routes() to complete if it's actively running, because regardless of whether it grabs the old or new table, the vCPU will have another KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC pending, i.e. will rescan again and see the new mappings.

KVM: Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM

2024-06-11T21:18:34Z

Setup empty IRQ routing during VM creation so that x86 and s390 don't need to set empty/dummy IRQ routing during KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP (in future patches). Initializing IRQ routing before there are any potential readers allows KVM to avoid the synchronize_srcu() in kvm_set_irq_routing(), which can introduces 20+ milliseconds of latency in the VM creation path. Ensuring that all VMs have non-NULL IRQ routing also hardens KVM against misbehaving userspace VMMs, e.g. RISC-V dynamically instantiates its interrupt controller, but doesn't override kvm_arch_intc_initialized() or kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed(), and so can likely reach kvm_irq_map_gsi() without fully initialized IRQ routing.

KVM: replace direct irq.h inclusion

2022-11-09T17:31:37Z

virt/kvm/irqchip.c is including "irq.h" from the arch-specific KVM source directory (i.e. not from arch/*/include) for the sole purpose of retrieving irqchip_in_kernel. Making the function inline in a header that is already included, such as asm/kvm_host.h, is not possible because it needs to look at struct kvm which is defined after asm/kvm_host.h is included. So add a kvm_arch_irqchip_in_kernel non-inline function; irqchip_in_kernel() is only performance critical on arm64 and x86, and the non-inline function is enough on all other architectures. irq.h can then be deleted from all architectures except x86.

KVM: irqchip: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()

2019-06-05T12:14:48Z

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

kvm: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations

2019-02-20T21:48:29Z

There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. If the allocations aren't tied to the process, the OOM killer will not know that killing the process will free the associated kernel memory. Add __GFP_ACCOUNT flags to many of the allocations which are not yet being charged to the VM process's cgroup. Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch introduced no new failures. Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch memory and then checks that the kernel memory allocated for the process is within certain bounds. With this patch we account for much more of the vmalloc and slab memory allocated for the VM. There remain a few allocations which should be charged to the VM's cgroup but are not. In they include: vcpu->run kvm->coalesced_mmio_ring There allocations are unaccounted in this patch because they are mapped to userspace, and accounting them to a cgroup causes problems. This should be addressed in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Gardon Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: don't hold kvm->lock in KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING

2017-05-02T12:45:45Z

We needed the lock to avoid racing with creation of the irqchip on x86. As kvm_set_irq_routing() calls srcu_synchronize_expedited(), this lock might be held for a longer time. Let's introduce an arch specific callback to check if we can actually add irq routes. For x86, all we have to do is check if we have an irqchip in the kernel. We don't need kvm->lock at that point as the irqchip is marked as inititalized only when actually fully created.
