Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] vfio/type1: Synchronous locked page accounting

v4: vfio_lock_acct() should not fail due to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK if task
has CAP_IPC_LOCK capability. Introduced 2nd patch to remove
redundancy from vfio_pin_page_external() and fix return value.

Please re-review. Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] vfio/type1: Remove locked page accounting workqueue

If the mmap_sem is contented then the vfio type1 IOMMU backend will
defer locked page accounting updates to a workqueue task. This has a
few problems and depending on which side the user tries to play, they
might be over-penalized for unmaps that haven't yet been accounted or
race the workqueue to enter more mappings than they're allowed. The
original intent of this workqueue mechanism seems to be focused on
reducing latency through the ioctl, but we cannot do so at the cost
of correctness. Remove this workqueue mechanism and update the
callers to allow for failure. We can also now recheck the limit under
write lock to make sure we don't exceed it.

vfio_pin_pages_remote() also now necessarily includes an unwind path
which we can jump to directly if the consecutive page pinning finds
that we're exceeding the user's memory limits. This avoids the
current lazy approach which does accounting and mapping up to the
fault, only to return an error on the next iteration to unwind the
entire vfio_dma.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] vfio/type1: Prune vfio_pin_page_external()

With vfio_lock_acct() testing the locked memory limit under mmap_sem,
it's redundant to do it here for a single page. We can also reorder
our tests such that we can avoid testing for reserved pages if we're
not doing accounting, and test the process CAP_IPC_LOCK only if we
are doing accounting. Finally, this function oddly returns 1 on
success. Update to return zero on success, -errno on error. Since
the function only pins a single page, there's no need to return the
number of pages pinned.

N.B. vfio_pin_pages_remote() can pin a large contiguous range of pages
before calling vfio_lock_acct(). If we were to similarly remove the
extra test there, a user could temporarily pin far more pages than
they're allowed.

Nit: maybe we can avoid passing in lock_cap in all the callers of
vfio_lock_acct() and fetch it via has_capability() only if npage < 0?
IMHO that'll keep the vfio_lock_acct() interface cleaner, and we won't
need to pass in "false" any time when doing unpins.

I just didn't notice this in previous review, but... do we need to
check against !rsvd as well here before doing the accounting?

Thanks!

Maybe this suggested-by honor should be for Kirti only? :)

For the patch, I think it's good to me as long as we have the
accounting check in vfio_lock_acct() which is just introduced in
previous patch, so:

Unfortunately vfio_pin_pages_remote() needs to know about lock_cap
since it tests whether the user is exceeding their locked memory
limit. The other callers could certainly get away with
vfio_lock_acct() testing the capability itself but that would add a
redundant call for the most common user. I'm not a big fan of passing
a lock_cap bool either, but it seemed the best fix for now. The
cleanest alternative I can up with is this (untested):

rsvd is taken care of above, lock_acct is only incremented for
non-reserved pages, so a block of rsvd pages would call vfio_lock_acct
with 0 pages, which will immediately return. Thanks,

Sorry, I mis-attributed this, Eric suggested that
vfio_pin_page_external() should have a standard return value. I'll
change the Suggested-by.

In my opinion, passing 'bool lock_cap' looks much clean and simple.

Thanks. This looks clean.
Just a nit pick, if vfio_lock_acct() returns -ENOMEM, its better to have
warning about task's mlock limit exceeded, which got removed in the
cleanup. No need to review again.

Well shoot, I was just starting to warm up to the bool*. I like that
we're not presuming the polarity for the callers we expect to be
removing pages and I generally just dislike passing fixed bool
parameters to change the function behavior. I've cleaned it up a bit
further and was starting to do some testing on this which I'd propose
for v5. Does it change your opinion?

vfio/type1: Remove locked page accounting workqueue

If the mmap_sem is contented then the vfio type1 IOMMU backend will
defer locked page accounting updates to a workqueue task. This has a
few problems and depending on which side the user tries to play, they
might be over-penalized for unmaps that haven't yet been accounted or
race the workqueue to enter more mappings than they're allowed. The
original intent of this workqueue mechanism seems to be focused on
reducing latency through the ioctl, but we cannot do so at the cost
of correctness. Remove this workqueue mechanism and update the
callers to allow for failure. We can also now recheck the limit under
write lock to make sure we don't exceed it.

vfio_pin_pages_remote() also now necessarily includes an unwind path
which we can jump to directly if the consecutive page pinning finds
that we're exceeding the user's memory limits. This avoids the
current lazy approach which does accounting and mapping up to the
fault, only to return an error on the next iteration to unwind the
entire vfio_dma.

Patch 2/2 would clearly change the &lock_cap in
vfio_pin_page_external() to a NULL, so only _remote passes a pointer
there. Thanks,

If passing fixed bool parameter is the concern then I would lean towards
Peter's suggestion. vfio_pin_pages_remote() will check lock capability
outside vfio_lock_acct() and again in vfio_lock_acct(). At other places,
it will be takes care within vfio_lock_acct()

Thanks,

Sorry, I don't see that as a viable option. Testing for CAP_IPC_LOCK in
both vfio_pin_pages_remote() and vfio_lock_acct() results in over a
10% performance hit on the mapping path with a custom micro-benchmark.
In fact, it suggests we should probably pass that from even higher in
the call stack. Thanks,

Alex
