The vfio-pci huge_fault handler doesn't make any attempt to insert a
mapping containing the faulting address, it only inserts mappings if the
faulting address and resulting pfn are aligned. This works in a lot of
cases, particularly in conjunction with QEMU where DMA mappings linearly
fault the mmap. However, there are configurations where we don't get
that linear faulting and pages are faulted on-demand.
The scenario reported in the bug below is such a case, where the physical
address width of the CPU is greater than that of the IOMMU, resulting in a
VM where guest firmware has mapped device MMIO beyond the address width of
the IOMMU. In this configuration, the MMIO is faulted on demand and
tracing indicates that occasionally the faults generate a VM_FAULT_OOM.
Given the use case, this results in a "error: kvm run failed Bad address",
killing the VM.
The host is not under memory pressure in this test, therefore it's
suspected that VM_FAULT_OOM is actually the result of a NULL return from
__pte_offset_map_lock() in the get_locked_pte() path from insert_pfn().
This suggests a potential race inserting a pte concurrent to a pmd, and
maybe indicates some deficiency in the mm layer properly handling such a
case.
Nevertheless, Peter noted the inconsistency of vfio-pci's huge_fault
handler where our mapping granularity depends on the alignment of the
faulting address relative to the order rather than aligning the faulting
address to the order to more consistently insert huge mappings. This
change not only uses the page tables more consistently and efficiently, but
as any fault to an aligned page results in the same mapping, the race
condition suspected in the VM_FAULT_OOM is avoided.
