Spec said:
"and len the total of bytes written into the buffer."
For inflateq, deflateq and statsq, we don't process in_sg so the used
length should be zero. For free_page_vq, tough the pages could be
changed by the device (in the destination), spec said:
"Note: len is particularly useful for drivers using untrusted buffers:
if a driver does not know exactly how much has been written by the
device, the driver would have to zero the buffer in advance to ensure
no data leakage occurs."

The subsection name for page-poison was typo'd as:
vitio-balloon-device/page-poison
Note the missing 'r' in virtio.
When we have a machine type that enables page poison, and the guest
enables it (which needs a new kernel), things fail rather unpredictably.
The fallout from this is that most of the other subsections fail to
load, including things like the feature bits in the device, one
possible fallout is that the physical addresses of the queues
then get aligned differently and we fail with an error about
last_avail_idx being wrong.
It's not obvious to me why this doesn't produce a more obvious failure,
but virtio's vmstate loading is a bit open-coded.

Postcopy never worked properly with 'free-page-hint=on', as there are
at least two issues:
1) With postcopy, the guest will never receive a VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE
and consequently won't release free pages back to the OS once
migration finishes.
The issue is that for postcopy, we won't do a final bitmap sync while
the guest is stopped on the source and
virtio_balloon_free_page_hint_notify() will only call
virtio_balloon_free_page_done() on the source during
PRECOPY_NOTIFY_CLEANUP, after the VM state was already migrated to
the destination.
2) Once the VM touches a page on the destination that has been excluded
from migration on the source via qemu_guest_free_page_hint() while
postcopy is active, that thread will stall until postcopy finishes
and all threads are woken up. (with older Linux kernels that won't
retry faults when woken up via userfaultfd, we might actually get a
SEGFAULT)
The issue is that the source will refuse to migrate any pages that
are not marked as dirty in the dirty bmap -- for example, because the
page might just have been sent. Consequently, the faulting thread will
stall, waiting for the page to be migrated -- which could take quite
a while and result in guest OS issues.
While we could fix 1) comparatively easily, 2) is harder to get right and
might require more involved RAM migration changes on source and destination
[1].
As it never worked properly, let's not start free page hinting in the
precopy notifier if the postcopy migration capability was enabled to fix
it easily. Capabilities cannot be enabled once migration is already
running.
Note 1: in the future we might either adjust migration code on the source
to track pages that have actually been sent or adjust
migration code on source and destination to eventually send
pages multiple times from the source and and deal with pages
that are sent multiple times on the destination.
Note 2: virtio-mem has similar issues, however, access to "unplugged"
memory by the guest is very rare and we would have to be very
lucky for it to happen during migration. The spec states
"The driver SHOULD NOT read from unplugged memory blocks ..."
and "The driver MUST NOT write to unplugged memory blocks".
virtio-mem will move away from virtio_balloon_free_page_done()
soon and handle this case explicitly on the destination.

The bulk stage is kind of weird: migration_bitmap_find_dirty() will
indicate a dirty page, however, ram_save_host_page() will never save it, as
migration_bitmap_clear_dirty() detects that it is not dirty.
We already fill the bitmap in ram_list_init_bitmaps() with ones, marking
everything dirty - it didn't used to be that way, which is why we needed
an explicit first bulk stage.
Let's simplify: make the bitmap the single source of thuth. Explicitly
handle the "xbzrle_enabled after first round" case.
Regarding XBZRLE (implicitly handled via "ram_bulk_stage = false" right
now), there is now a slight change in behavior:
- Colo: When starting, it will be disabled (was implicitly enabled)
until the first round actually finishes.
- Free page hinting: When starting, XBZRLE will be disabled (was implicitly
enabled) until the first round actually finished.
- Snapshots: When starting, XBZRLE will be disabled. We essentially only
do a single run, so I guess it will never actually get disabled.
Postcopy seems to indirectly disable it in ram_save_page(), so there
shouldn't be really any change.

There is already locking in place when we are stopping free page hinting
but there is not similar protections in place when we start. I can only
assume this was overlooked as in most cases the page hinting should not be
occurring when we are starting the hinting, however there is still a chance
we could be processing hints by the time we get back around to restarting
the hinting so we are better off making sure to protect the state with the
mutex lock rather than just updating the value with no protections.

Based on code review it appears possible for the driver to force the device
out of a stopped state when hinting by repeating the last ID it was
provided.
Prevent this by only allowing a transition to the start state when we are
in the requested state. This way the driver is only allowed to send one
descriptor that will transition the device into the start state. All others
will leave it in the stop state once it has finished.

Not exactly elegant, I'm afraid.
The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming
if (fun(args, &err)) {
goto out
}
...
out:
error_propagate(errp, err);
even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate().
For an actual example, see sclp_realize().
Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(),
incorrectly. I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that
it helps here.
The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure
out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err". For
an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable().
Silently fails to convert hw/arm/armsse.c, because Coccinelle gets
confused by ARMSSE being used both as typedef and function-like macro

If something goes wrong during precopy, before stopping the VM, we will
never send a S_DONE indication to the VM, resulting in the hinted pages
not getting released to be used by the guest OS (e.g., Linux).
Easy to reproduce:
1. Start migration (e.g., HMP "migrate -d 'exec:gzip -c > STATEFILE.gz'")
2. Cancel migration (e.g., HMP "migrate_cancel")
3. Oberve in the guest (e.g., cat /proc/meminfo) that there is basically
no free memory left.
While at it, add similar locking to virtio_balloon_free_page_done() as
done in virtio_balloon_free_page_stop. Locking is still weird, but that
has to be sorted out separately.
There is nothing to do in the PRECOPY_NOTIFY_COMPLETE case. Add some
comments regarding S_DONE handling.

Add support for free page reporting. The idea is to function very similar
to how the balloon works in that we basically end up madvising the page as
not being used. However we don't really need to bother with any deflate
type logic since the page will be faulted back into the guest when it is
read or written to.
This provides a new way of letting the guest proactively report free
pages to the hypervisor, so the hypervisor can reuse them. In contrast to
inflate/deflate that is triggered via the hypervisor explicitly.

We need to make certain to advertise support for page poison reporting if
we want to actually get data on if the guest will be poisoning pages.
Add a value for reporting the poison value being used if page poisoning is
enabled in the guest. With this we can determine if we will need to skip
free page reporting when it is enabled in the future.
The value currently has no impact on existing balloon interfaces. In the
case of existing balloon interfaces the onus is on the guest driver to
reapply whatever poison is in place.
When we add free page reporting the poison value is used to determine if
we can perform in-place page reporting. The expectation is that a reported
page will already contain the value specified by the poison, and the
reporting of the page should not change that value.

Devices may have component devices and buses.
Device realization may fail. Realization is recursive: a device's
realize() method realizes its components, and device_set_realized()
realizes its buses (which should in turn realize the devices on that
bus, except bus_set_realized() doesn't implement that, yet).
When realization of a component or bus fails, we need to roll back:
unrealize everything we realized so far. If any of these unrealizes
failed, the device would be left in an inconsistent state. Must not
happen.
device_set_realized() lets it happen: it ignores errors in the roll
back code starting at label child_realize_fail.
Since realization is recursive, unrealization must be recursive, too.
But how could a partly failed unrealize be rolled back? We'd have to
re-realize, which can fail. This design is fundamentally broken.
device_set_realized() does not roll back at all. Instead, it keeps
unrealizing, ignoring further errors.
It can screw up even for a device with no buses: if the lone
dc->unrealize() fails, it still unregisters vmstate, and calls
listeners' unrealize() callback.
bus_set_realized() does not roll back either. Instead, it stops
unrealizing.
Fortunately, no unrealize method can fail, as we'll see below.
To fix the design error, drop parameter @errp from all the unrealize
methods.
Any unrealize method that uses @errp now needs an update. This leads
us to unrealize() methods that can fail. Merely passing it to another
unrealize method cannot cause failure, though. Here are the ones that
do other things with @errp:
* virtio_serial_device_unrealize()
Fails when qbus_set_hotplug_handler() fails, but still does all the
other work. On failure, the device would stay realized with its
resources completely gone. Oops. Can't happen, because
qbus_set_hotplug_handler() can't actually fail here. Pass
&error_abort to qbus_set_hotplug_handler() instead.
* hw/ppc/spapr_drc.c's unrealize()
Fails when object_property_del() fails, but all the other work is
already done. On failure, the device would stay realized with its
vmstate registration gone. Oops. Can't happen, because
object_property_del() can't actually fail here. Pass &error_abort
to object_property_del() instead.
* spapr_phb_unrealize()
Fails and bails out when remove_drcs() fails, but other work is
already done. On failure, the device would stay realized with some
of its resources gone. Oops. remove_drcs() fails only when
chassis_from_bus()'s object_property_get_uint() fails, and it can't
here. Pass &error_abort to remove_drcs() instead.
Therefore, no unrealize method can fail before this patch.
device_set_realized()'s recursive unrealization via bus uses
object_property_set_bool(). Can't drop @errp there, so pass
&error_abort.
We similarly unrealize with object_property_set_bool() elsewhere,
always ignoring errors. Pass &error_abort instead.
Several unrealize methods no longer handle errors from other unrealize
methods: virtio_9p_device_unrealize(),
virtio_input_device_unrealize(), scsi_qdev_unrealize(), ...
Much of the deleted error handling looks wrong anyway.
One unrealize methods no longer ignore such errors:
usb_ehci_pci_exit().
Several realize methods no longer ignore errors when rolling back:
v9fs_device_realize_common(), pci_qdev_unrealize(),
spapr_phb_realize(), usb_qdev_realize(), vfio_ccw_realize(),
virtio_device_realize().

The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists. Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.
Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.
We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.
The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.
Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.
When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.
Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.
There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

- We are not indicating VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST, therefore
guests (esp. legacy guests) will reuse pages without deflating,
turning the PBP stale. Adding that would require compat handling.
Instead, let's use the PBP only temporarily, when processing one bulk of

We are using the wrong functions to set/clear bits, effectively touching
multiple bits, writing out of range of the bitmap, resulting in memory
corruptions. We have to use set_bit()/clear_bit() instead.
Can easily be reproduced by starting a qemu guest on hugetlbfs memory,
inflating the balloon. QEMU crashes. This never could have worked
properly - especially, also pages would have been discarded when the
first sub-page would be inflated (the whole bitmap would be set).
While testing I realized, that on hugetlbfs it is pretty much impossible
to discard a page - the guest just frees the 4k sub-pages in random order
most of the time. I was only able to discard a hugepage a handful of
times - so I hope that now works correctly.

qemu-system-x86_64: get_pci_config_device: Bad config data: i=0x10 read: a1 device: 1 cmask: ff wmask: c0 w1cmask:0

Introduce a qdev property called "qemu-4-0-config-size" and enable it
only for the QEMU 4.0 machine types. This way <4.0 machine types use
the old size, 4.0 uses the larger size, and >4.0 machine types use the
appropriate size depending on enabled virtio-balloon features.

Prior to f6deb6d9 "virtio-balloon: Remove unnecessary MADV_WILLNEED on
deflate", the balloon device issued an madvise() MADV_WILLNEED on
pages removed from the balloon. That would hint to the host kernel
that the pages were likely to be needed by the guest in the near
future.
It's unclear if this is actually valuable or not, and so f6deb6d9
removed this, essentially ignoring balloon deflate requests. However,
concerns have been raised that this might cause a performance
regression by causing extra latency for the guest in certain
configurations.
So, until we can get actual benchmark data to see if that's the case,
this restores the old behaviour, issuing a MADV_WILLNEED when a page is

This fixes a balloon bug with a nasty consequence - potentially
corrupting guest memory - but which is extremely unlikely to be
triggered in practice.
The balloon always works in 4kiB units, but the host could have a
larger page size on certain platforms. Since ed48c59 "virtio-balloon:
Safely handle BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE < host page size" we've handled this
by accumulating requests to balloon 4kiB subpages until they formed a
full host page. Since f6deb6d "virtio-balloon: Remove unnecessary
MADV_WILLNEED on deflate" we essentially ignore deflate requests.
Suppose we have a host with 8kiB pages, and one host page has subpages
A & B. If we get this sequence of events -
inflate A
deflate A
inflate B
- the current logic will discard the whole host page. That's
incorrect because the guest has deflated subpage A, and could have
written important data to it.
This patch fixes the problem by adjusting our state information about
partially ballooned host pages when deflate requests are received.

The new feature enables the virtio-balloon device to receive hints of
guest free pages from the free page vq.
A notifier is registered to the migration precopy notifier chain. The
notifier calls free_page_start after the migration thread syncs the dirty
bitmap, so that the free page optimization starts to clear bits of free
pages from the bitmap. It calls the free_page_stop before the migration
thread syncs the bitmap, which is the end of the current round of ram
save. The free_page_stop is also called to stop the optimization in the
case when there is an error occurred in the process of ram saving.
Note: balloon will report pages which were free at the time of this call.
As the reporting happens asynchronously, dirty bit logging must be
enabled before this free_page_start call is made. Guest reporting must be
disabled before the migration dirty bitmap is synchronized.

dgilbert: Dropped kernel header update, fixed up CMD_ID_* name change
The virtio-balloon always works in units of 4kiB (BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE), but
we can only actually discard memory in units of the host page size.
Now, we handle this very badly: we silently ignore balloon requests that
aren't host page aligned, and for requests that are host page aligned we
discard the entire host page. The latter can corrupt guest memory if its
page size is smaller than the host's.
The obvious choice would be to disable the balloon if the host page size is
not 4kiB. However, that would break the special case where host and guest
have the same page size, but that's larger than 4kiB. That case currently
works by accident[1] - and is used in practice on many production POWER
systems where 64kiB has long been the Linux default page size on both host
and guest.
To make the balloon safe, without breaking that useful special case, we
need to accumulate 4kiB balloon requests until we have a whole contiguous
host page to discard.
We could in principle do that across all guest memory, but it would require
a large bitmap to track. This patch represents a compromise: we track
ballooned subpages for a single contiguous host page at a time. This means
that if the guest discards all 4kiB chunks of a host page in succession,
we will discard it. This is the expected behaviour in the (host page) ==
(guest page) != 4kiB case we want to support.
If the guest scatters 4kiB requests across different host pages, we don't
discard anything, and issue a warning. Not ideal, but at least we don't
corrupt guest memory as the previous version could.
Warning reporting is kind of a compromise here. Determining whether we're
in a problematic state at realize() time is tricky, because we'd have to
look at the host pagesizes of all memory backends, but we can't really know
if some of those backends could be for special purpose memory that's not
subject to ballooning.
Reporting only when the guest tries to balloon a partial page also isn't
great because if the guest page size happens to line up it won't indicate
that we're in a non ideal situation. It could also cause alarming repeated
warnings whenever a migration is attempted.
So, what we do is warn the first time the guest attempts balloon a partial
host page, whether or not it will end up ballooning the rest of the page
immediately afterwards.
[1] Because when the guest attempts to balloon a page, it will submit
requests for each 4kiB subpage. Most will be ignored, but the one
which happens to be host page aligned will discard the whole lot.

Currently, virtio-balloon uses madvise() with MADV_DONTNEED to actually
discard RAM pages inserted into the balloon. This is basically a Linux
only interface (MADV_DONTNEED exists on some other platforms, but doesn't
always have the same semantics). It also doesn't work on hugepages and has
some other limitations.
It turns out that postcopy also needs to discard chunks of memory, and uses
a better interface for it: ram_block_discard_range(). It doesn't cover
every case, but it covers more than going direct to madvise() and this
gives us a single place to update for more possibilities in future.
There are some subtleties here to maintain the current balloon behaviour:
* For now, we just ignore requests to balloon in a hugepage backed region.
That matches current behaviour, because MADV_DONTNEED on a hugepage would
simply fail, and we ignore the error.
* If host page size is > BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE we can frequently call this on
non-host-page-aligned addresses. These would also fail in madvise(),
which we then ignored. ram_block_discard_range() error_report()s calls
on unaligned addresses, so we explicitly check that case to avoid
spamming the logs.
* We now call ram_block_discard_range() with the *host* page size, whereas
we previously called madvise() with BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE. Surprisingly,
this also matches existing behaviour. Although the kernel fails madvise
on unaligned addresses, it will round unaligned sizes *up* to the host
page size. Yes, this means that if BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE < guest page size
we can incorrectly discard more memory than the guest asked us to. I'm
planning to address that soon.
Errors other than the ones discussed above, will now be reported by
ram_block_discard_range(), rather than silently ignored, which means we
have a much better chance of seeing when something is going wrong.

The virtio-balloon device's verification of the address given to it by the
guest has a number of faults:
* The addresses here are guest physical addresses, which should be
'hwaddr' rather than 'ram_addr_t' (the distinction is admittedly
pretty subtle and confusing)
* We don't check for section.mr being NULL, which is the main way that
memory_region_find() reports basic failures. We really need to check
that before looking at any other section fields, because
memory_region_find() doesn't initialize them on the failure path
* We're passing a length of '1' to memory_region_find(), but really the
guest is requesting that we put the entire page into the balloon,
so it makes more sense to call it with BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE

When the balloon is inflated, we discard memory place in it using madvise()
with MADV_DONTNEED. And when we deflate it we use MADV_WILLNEED, which
sounds like it makes sense but is actually unnecessary.
The misleadingly named MADV_DONTNEED just discards the memory in question,
it doesn't set any persistent state on it in-kernel; all that's necessary
to bring the memory back is to touch it. MADV_WILLNEED in contrast
specifically says that the memory will be used soon and faults it in.
This patch simplify's the balloon operation by dropping the madvise()
on deflate. This might have an impact on performance - it will move a
delay at deflate time until that memory is actually touched, which
might be more latency sensitive. However:
* Memory that's being given back to the guest by deflating the
balloon *might* be used soon, but it equally could just sit around
in the guest's pools until needed (or even be faulted out again if
the host is under memory pressure).
* Usually, the timescale over which you'll be adjusting the balloon
is long enough that a few extra faults after deflation aren't
going to make a difference.
