virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3. Support for other architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example usage (virtio-mem-pci is introduced in follow-up patches): Start QEMU with two virtio-mem devices (one per NUMA node): $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G,maxmem=20G \ -smp sockets=2,cores=2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ [...] -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,requested-size=0M \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm1,memdev=mem1,node=1,requested-size=1G Query the configuration: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 0 size: 0 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 1073741824 size: 1073741824 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 Add some memory to node 0: (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 500M Remove some memory from node 1: (qemu) qom-set vm1 requested-size 200M Query the configuration again: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 524288000 size: 524288000 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 209715200 size: 209715200 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311171422.10484-1-david@redhat.com Cc: "Michael S.

virtio-mem: Support "x-ignore-shared" migration To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should not touch RAM content. As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration. Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So once migration finished we'll have a consistent state. The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state). Note that something like VM templating -- see commit b17fbbe55cba ("migration: allow private destination ram with x-ignore-shared") -- is currently incompatible with virtio-mem and ram_block_discard_range() will warn in case a private file mapping is supplied by virtio-mem. For VM templating with virtio-mem, it makes more sense to either (a) Create the template without the virtio-mem device and hotplug a virtio-mem device to the new VM instances using proper own memory backend. (b) Use a virtio-mem device that doesn't provide any memory in the template (requested-size=0) and use private anonymous memory.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Proper support for preallocation with migration Ordinary memory preallocation runs when QEMU starts up and creates the memory backends, before processing the incoming migration stream. With virtio-mem, we don't know which memory blocks to preallocate before migration started. Now that we migrate the virtio-mem bitmap early, before migrating any RAM content, we can safely preallocate memory for all plugged memory blocks before migrating any RAM content. This is especially relevant for the following cases: (1) User errors With hugetlb/files, if we don't have sufficient backend memory available on the migration destination, we'll crash QEMU (SIGBUS) during RAM migration when running out of backend memory. Preallocating memory before actual RAM migration allows for failing gracefully and informing the user about the setup problem. (2) Excluded memory ranges during migration For example, virtio-balloon free page hinting will exclude some pages from getting migrated. In that case, we won't crash during RAM migration, but later, when running the VM on the destination, which is bad. To fix this for new QEMU machines that migrate the bitmap early, preallocate the memory early, before any RAM migration. Warn with old QEMU machines. Getting postcopy right is a bit tricky, but we essentially now implement the same (problematic) preallocation logic as ordinary preallocation: preallocate memory early and discard it again before precopy starts. During ordinary preallocation, discarding of RAM happens when postcopy is advised. As the state (bitmap) is loaded after postcopy was advised but before postcopy starts listening, we have to discard memory we preallocated immediately again ourselves. Note that nothing (not even hugetlb reservations) guarantees for postcopy that backend memory (especially, hugetlb pages) are still free after they were freed ones while discarding RAM. Still, allocating that memory at least once helps catching some basic setup problems. Before this change, trying to restore a VM when insufficient hugetlb pages are around results in the process crashing to to a "Bus error" (SIGBUS). With this change, QEMU fails gracefully: qemu-system-x86_64: qemu_prealloc_mem: preallocating memory failed: Bad address qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device '0000:00:03.0/virtio-mem-device-early' qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Cannot allocate memory And we can even introspect the early migration data, including the bitmap: $ ./scripts/analyze-migration.py -f STATEFILE { "ram (2)": { "section sizes": { "0000:00:03.0/mem0": "0x0000000780000000", "0000:00:04.0/mem1": "0x0000000780000000", "pc.ram": "0x0000000100000000", "/rom@etc/acpi/tables": "0x0000000000020000", "pc.bios": "0x0000000000040000", "0000:00:02.0/e1000.rom": "0x0000000000040000", "pc.rom": "0x0000000000020000", "/rom@etc/table-loader": "0x0000000000001000", "/rom@etc/acpi/rsdp": "0x0000000000001000" } }, "0000:00:03.0/virtio-mem-device-early (51)": { "tmp": "00 00 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00", "size": "0x0000000040000000", "bitmap": "ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [...] }, "0000:00:04.0/virtio-mem-device-early (53)": { "tmp": "00 00 00 08 c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00", "size": "0x00000001fa400000", "bitmap": "ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [...] }, [...] Reported-by: Jing Qi <jinqi@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3. Support for other architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example usage (virtio-mem-pci is introduced in follow-up patches): Start QEMU with two virtio-mem devices (one per NUMA node): $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G,maxmem=20G \ -smp sockets=2,cores=2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ [...] -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,requested-size=0M \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm1,memdev=mem1,node=1,requested-size=1G Query the configuration: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 0 size: 0 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 1073741824 size: 1073741824 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 Add some memory to node 0: (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 500M Remove some memory from node 1: (qemu) qom-set vm1 requested-size 200M Query the configuration again: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 524288000 size: 524288000 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 209715200 size: 209715200 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311171422.10484-1-david@redhat.com Cc: "Michael S.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Support "prealloc=on" option For scarce memory resources, such as hugetlb, we want to be able to prealloc such memory resources in order to not crash later on access. On simple user errors we could otherwise easily run out of memory resources an crash the VM -- pretty much undesired. For ordinary memory devices, such as DIMMs, we preallocate memory via the memory backend for such use cases; however, with virtio-mem we're dealing with sparse memory backends; preallocating the whole memory backend destroys the whole purpose of virtio-mem. Instead, we want to preallocate memory when actually exposing memory to the VM dynamically, and fail plugging memory gracefully + warn the user in case preallocation fails. A common use case for hugetlb will be using "reserve=off,prealloc=off" for the memory backend and "prealloc=on" for the virtio-mem device. This way, no huge pages will be reserved for the process, but we can recover if there are no actual huge pages when plugging memory. Libvirt is already prepared for this. Note that preallocation cannot protect from the OOM killer -- which holds true for any kind of preallocation in QEMU. It's primarily useful only for scarce memory resources such as hugetlb, or shared file-backed memory. It's of little use for ordinary anonymous memory that can be swapped, KSM merged, ... but we won't forbid it.

After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Support "x-ignore-shared" migration To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should not touch RAM content. As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration. Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So once migration finished we'll have a consistent state. The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state). Note that something like VM templating -- see commit b17fbbe55cba ("migration: allow private destination ram with x-ignore-shared") -- is currently incompatible with virtio-mem and ram_block_discard_range() will warn in case a private file mapping is supplied by virtio-mem. For VM templating with virtio-mem, it makes more sense to either (a) Create the template without the virtio-mem device and hotplug a virtio-mem device to the new VM instances using proper own memory backend. (b) Use a virtio-mem device that doesn't provide any memory in the template (requested-size=0) and use private anonymous memory.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Support "x-ignore-shared" migration To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should not touch RAM content. As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration. Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So once migration finished we'll have a consistent state. The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state).

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3. Support for other architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example usage (virtio-mem-pci is introduced in follow-up patches): Start QEMU with two virtio-mem devices (one per NUMA node): $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G,maxmem=20G \ -smp sockets=2,cores=2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ [...] -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,requested-size=0M \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm1,memdev=mem1,node=1,requested-size=1G Query the configuration: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 0 size: 0 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 1073741824 size: 1073741824 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 Add some memory to node 0: (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 500M Remove some memory from node 1: (qemu) qom-set vm1 requested-size 200M Query the configuration again: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 524288000 size: 524288000 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 209715200 size: 209715200 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311171422.10484-1-david@redhat.com Cc: "Michael S.

virtio-mem: Proper support for preallocation with migration Ordinary memory preallocation runs when QEMU starts up and creates the memory backends, before processing the incoming migration stream. With virtio-mem, we don't know which memory blocks to preallocate before migration started. Now that we migrate the virtio-mem bitmap early, before migrating any RAM content, we can safely preallocate memory for all plugged memory blocks before migrating any RAM content. This is especially relevant for the following cases: (1) User errors With hugetlb/files, if we don't have sufficient backend memory available on the migration destination, we'll crash QEMU (SIGBUS) during RAM migration when running out of backend memory. Preallocating memory before actual RAM migration allows for failing gracefully and informing the user about the setup problem. (2) Excluded memory ranges during migration For example, virtio-balloon free page hinting will exclude some pages from getting migrated. In that case, we won't crash during RAM migration, but later, when running the VM on the destination, which is bad. To fix this for new QEMU machines that migrate the bitmap early, preallocate the memory early, before any RAM migration. Warn with old QEMU machines. Getting postcopy right is a bit tricky, but we essentially now implement the same (problematic) preallocation logic as ordinary preallocation: preallocate memory early and discard it again before precopy starts. During ordinary preallocation, discarding of RAM happens when postcopy is advised. As the state (bitmap) is loaded after postcopy was advised but before postcopy starts listening, we have to discard memory we preallocated immediately again ourselves. Note that nothing (not even hugetlb reservations) guarantees for postcopy that backend memory (especially, hugetlb pages) are still free after they were freed ones while discarding RAM. Still, allocating that memory at least once helps catching some basic setup problems. Before this change, trying to restore a VM when insufficient hugetlb pages are around results in the process crashing to to a "Bus error" (SIGBUS). With this change, QEMU fails gracefully: qemu-system-x86_64: qemu_prealloc_mem: preallocating memory failed: Bad address qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device '0000:00:03.0/virtio-mem-device-early' qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Cannot allocate memory And we can even introspect the early migration data, including the bitmap: $ ./scripts/analyze-migration.py -f STATEFILE { "ram (2)": { "section sizes": { "0000:00:03.0/mem0": "0x0000000780000000", "0000:00:04.0/mem1": "0x0000000780000000", "pc.ram": "0x0000000100000000", "/rom@etc/acpi/tables": "0x0000000000020000", "pc.bios": "0x0000000000040000", "0000:00:02.0/e1000.rom": "0x0000000000040000", "pc.rom": "0x0000000000020000", "/rom@etc/table-loader": "0x0000000000001000", "/rom@etc/acpi/rsdp": "0x0000000000001000" } }, "0000:00:03.0/virtio-mem-device-early (51)": { "tmp": "00 00 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00", "size": "0x0000000040000000", "bitmap": "ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [...] }, "0000:00:04.0/virtio-mem-device-early (53)": { "tmp": "00 00 00 08 c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00", "size": "0x00000001fa400000", "bitmap": "ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [...] }, [...] Reported-by: Jing Qi <jinqi@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

virtio-mem: Support "x-ignore-shared" migration To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should not touch RAM content. As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration. Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So once migration finished we'll have a consistent state. The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state).

virtio-mem: Proper support for preallocation with migration Ordinary memory preallocation runs when QEMU starts up and creates the memory backends, before processing the incoming migration stream. With virtio-mem, we don't know which memory blocks to preallocate before migration started. Now that we migrate the virtio-mem bitmap early, before migrating any RAM content, we can safely preallocate memory for all plugged memory blocks before migrating any RAM content. This is especially relevant for the following cases: (1) User errors With hugetlb/files, if we don't have sufficient backend memory available on the migration destination, we'll crash QEMU (SIGBUS) during RAM migration when running out of backend memory. Preallocating memory before actual RAM migration allows for failing gracefully and informing the user about the setup problem. (2) Excluded memory ranges during migration For example, virtio-balloon free page hinting will exclude some pages from getting migrated. In that case, we won't crash during RAM migration, but later, when running the VM on the destination, which is bad. To fix this for new QEMU machines that migrate the bitmap early, preallocate the memory early, before any RAM migration. Warn with old QEMU machines. Getting postcopy right is a bit tricky, but we essentially now implement the same (problematic) preallocation logic as ordinary preallocation: preallocate memory early and discard it again before precopy starts. During ordinary preallocation, discarding of RAM happens when postcopy is advised. As the state (bitmap) is loaded after postcopy was advised but before postcopy starts listening, we have to discard memory we preallocated immediately again ourselves. Note that nothing (not even hugetlb reservations) guarantees for postcopy that backend memory (especially, hugetlb pages) are still free after they were freed ones while discarding RAM.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

vfio: Support for RamDiscardManager in the vIOMMU case vIOMMU support works already with RamDiscardManager as long as guests only map populated memory. Both, populated and discarded memory is mapped into &address_space_memory, where vfio_get_xlat_addr() will find that memory, to create the vfio mapping. Sane guests will never map discarded memory (e.g., unplugged memory blocks in virtio-mem) into an IOMMU - or keep it mapped into an IOMMU while memory is getting discarded. However, there are two cases where a malicious guests could trigger pinning of more memory than intended. One case is easy to handle: the guest trying to map discarded memory into an IOMMU. The other case is harder to handle: the guest keeping memory mapped in the IOMMU while it is getting discarded. We would have to walk over all mappings when discarding memory and identify if any mapping would be a violation. Let's keep it simple for now and print a warning, indicating that setting RLIMIT_MEMLOCK can mitigate such attacks. We have to take care of incoming migration: at the point the IOMMUs get restored and start creating mappings in vfio, RamDiscardManager implementations might not be back up and running yet: let's add runstate priorities to enforce the order when restoring.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3. Support for other architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example usage (virtio-mem-pci is introduced in follow-up patches): Start QEMU with two virtio-mem devices (one per NUMA node): $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G,maxmem=20G \ -smp sockets=2,cores=2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ [...] -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,requested-size=0M \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm1,memdev=mem1,node=1,requested-size=1G Query the configuration: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 0 size: 0 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 1073741824 size: 1073741824 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 Add some memory to node 0: (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 500M Remove some memory from node 1: (qemu) qom-set vm1 requested-size 200M Query the configuration again: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 524288000 size: 524288000 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 209715200 size: 209715200 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311171422.10484-1-david@redhat.com Cc: "Michael S.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Exclude unplugged memory during migration (via precopy notifier). 2. Handle remapping of memory. 3. Support for other architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example usage (virtio-mem-pci is introduced in follow-up patches): Start QEMU with two virtio-mem devices (one per NUMA node): $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G,maxmem=20G \ -smp sockets=2,cores=2 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \ [...] -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,requested-size=0M \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=8G \ -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm1,memdev=mem1,node=1,requested-size=1G Query the configuration: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 0 size: 0 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 1073741824 size: 1073741824 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 Add some memory to node 0: (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 500M Remove some memory from node 1: (qemu) qom-set vm1 requested-size 200M Query the configuration again: (qemu) info memory-devices Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm0" memaddr: 0x140000000 node: 0 requested-size: 524288000 size: 524288000 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem0 Memory device [virtio-mem]: "vm1" memaddr: 0x340000000 node: 1 requested-size: 209715200 size: 209715200 max-size: 8589934592 block-size: 2097152 memdev: /objects/mem1 [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311171422.10484-1-david@redhat.com Cc: "Michael S.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2.

virtio-mem: Support "prealloc=on" option For scarce memory resources, such as hugetlb, we want to be able to prealloc such memory resources in order to not crash later on access. On simple user errors we could otherwise easily run out of memory resources an crash the VM -- pretty much undesired. For ordinary memory devices, such as DIMMs, we preallocate memory via the memory backend for such use cases; however, with virtio-mem we're dealing with sparse memory backends; preallocating the whole memory backend destroys the whole purpose of virtio-mem. Instead, we want to preallocate memory when actually exposing memory to the VM dynamically, and fail plugging memory gracefully + warn the user in case preallocation fails. A common use case for hugetlb will be using "reserve=off,prealloc=off" for the memory backend and "prealloc=on" for the virtio-mem device. This way, no huge pages will be reserved for the process, but we can recover if there are no actual huge pages when plugging memory. Libvirt is already prepared for this. Note that preallocation cannot protect from the OOM killer -- which holds true for any kind of preallocation in QEMU. It's primarily useful only for scarce memory resources such as hugetlb, or shared file-backed memory. It's of little use for ordinary anonymous memory that can be swapped, KSM merged, ... but we won't forbid it.

We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

On arm64 (which was added later), we never had legacy guests and don't even allow to configure it, essentially always having "unplugged-inaccessible=on". At this point, all guests we care about should be supporting VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, so let's change the default for the 8.1 machine. This change implies that also memory that supports the shared zeropage (private anonymous memory) will now require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE in the driver in order to be usable by the guest -- as default, one can still manually set the unplugged-inaccessible property. Disallowing the guest to read unplugged memory will be important for some future features, such as memslot optimizations or protection of unplugged memory, whereby we'll actually no longer allow the guest to even read from unplugged memory.

Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1. Resizeable memory regions: Use resizeable allocations/RAM blocks to grow/shrink along with the usable region size. This avoids creating initially very big VMAs, RAM blocks, and KVM slots. 2. Protection of unplugged memory: Make sure the gust cannot actually make use of unplugged memory. Other follow-up items that are in the works: 1.

virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory. Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed easily. Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes) that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE. We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare for different targets already. Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets: - "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy guests working. - "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests from using the device. - "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage. Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the shared zeropage. For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup. Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines. Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines. Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests completely. The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto" will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated explicitly.

virtio-mem: Expose device memory dynamically via multiple memslots if enabled Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM. KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite some memory waste. Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g., 1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating a significant amount of memory for metadata: (1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %) With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets allocated lazily when required for nested VMs (2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %) (3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB -> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %) (4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page -> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %) So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM. Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 5 GiB * Without SMM: 2.5 GiB Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around: * With SMM: 1 GiB * Without SMM: 512 MiB ... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB). Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our device memory region container. The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires "unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default. Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices, we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used. The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now ("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually, because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends. Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots *may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots *must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots". Message-ID: <20230926185738.277351-17-david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug This is the very basic/initial version of virtio-mem. An introduction to virtio-mem can be found in the Linux kernel driver [1]. While it can be used in the current state for hotplug of a smaller amount of memory, it will heavily benefit from resizeable memory regions in the future. Each virtio-mem device manages a memory region (provided via a memory backend). After requested by the hypervisor ("requested-size"), the guest can try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within that region, in order to reach the requested size. Initially, and after a reboot, all memory is unplugged (except in special cases - reboot during postcopy). The guest may only try to plug/unplug blocks of memory within the usable region size. The usable region size is a little bigger than the requested size, to give the device driver some flexibility. The usable region size will only grow, except on reboots or when all memory is requested to get unplugged. The guest can never plug more memory than requested. Unplugged memory will get zapped/discarded, similar to in a balloon device. The block size is variable, however, it is always chosen in a way such that THP splits are avoided (e.g., 2MB). The state of each block (plugged/unplugged) is tracked in a bitmap. As virtio-mem devices (e.g., virtio-mem-pci) will be memory devices, we now expose "VirtioMEMDeviceInfo" via "query-memory-devices". -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two important follow-up items that are in the works: 1.
