Commit 5e9859699aba ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Outline of KVM-HV HPT resizing
implementation", 2016-12-20) added code that tries to exclude any use
or update of the hashed page table (HPT) while the HPT resizing code
is iterating through all the entries in the HPT. It does this by
taking the kvm->lock mutex, clearing the kvm->arch.hpte_setup_done
flag and then sending an IPI to all CPUs in the host. The idea is
that any VCPU task that tries to enter the guest will see that the
hpte_setup_done flag is clear and therefore call kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma,
which also takes the kvm->lock mutex and will therefore block until
we release kvm->lock.
However, any VCPU that is already in the guest, or is handling a
hypervisor page fault or hypercall, can re-enter the guest without
rechecking the hpte_setup_done flag. The IPI will cause a guest exit
of any VCPUs that are currently in the guest, but does not prevent
those VCPU tasks from immediately re-entering the guest.
The result is that after resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() has made a HPTE
absent, a hypervisor page fault can occur and make that HPTE present
again. This includes updating the rmap array for the guest real page,
meaning that we now have a pointer in the rmap array which connects
with pointers in the old rev array but not the new rev array. In
fact, if the HPT is being reduced in size, the pointer in the rmap
array could point outside the bounds of the new rev array. If that
happens, we can get a host crash later on such as this one:

To fix this, we tighten up the way that the hpte_setup_done flag is
checked to ensure that it does provide the guarantee that the resizing
code needs. In kvmppc_run_core(), we check the hpte_setup_done flag
after disabling interrupts and refuse to enter the guest if it is
clear (for a HPT guest). The code that checks hpte_setup_done and
calls kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma() is moved from kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv()
to a point inside the main loop in kvmppc_run_vcpu(), ensuring that
we don't just spin endlessly calling kvmppc_run_core() while
hpte_setup_done is clear, but instead have a chance to block on the
kvm->lock mutex.
Finally we also check hpte_setup_done inside the region in
kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() where the HPTE is locked and we are about
to update the HPTE, and bail out if it is clear. If another CPU is
inside kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_commit) and has cleared hpte_setup_done,
then we know that either we are looking at a HPTE
that resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() has not yet processed, which is OK,
or else we will see hpte_setup_done clear and refuse to update it,
because of the full barrier formed by the unlock of the HPTE in
resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() combined with the locking of the HPTE
in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault().
