Subject[PATCH] kexec: unmap reserved pages for each error-return way
Message-ID<qVwLN-2Tu-29@gated-at.bofh.it>
For allocation of kimage failure or kexec_prepare or load segments
errors there is no need to keep crashkernel memory mapped.
It will affect only s390 as map/unmap hook defined only for it.
As on unmap s390 also changes os_info structure let's check return code
and add info only on success.

This conflicts (both mechanically and somewhat conceptually) with
Xunlei Pang's "kexec: Introduce a protection mechanism for the
crashkernel reserved memory" and "kexec: provide
arch_kexec_protect(unprotect)_crashkres()".

Hmm, It looks to me that arch_kexec_(un)protect_crashkres() has exactly
the same semantics as crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().

On s390 we don't have the crashkernel memory mapped and therefore need
crash_map_reserved_pages() before loading something into crashkernel
memory.

Perhaps I missed something?

I don't know s390, just curious, if s390 doesn't have crash kernel memory mapped,
what's the purpose of the commit(558df7209e)  for s390 as the reserved crash memory
with no kernel mapping already means the protection is on?

Xunlei

When we reserve crashkernel memory on s390 ("crashkernel=" kernel parameter),
we create a memory hole without page tables.

Commit (558df7209e) was necessary to load a kernel/ramdisk into
the memory hole with the kexec() system call.

We create a temporary mapping with crash_map_reserved_pages(), then
copy the kernel/ramdisk and finally remove the mapping again
via crash_unmap_reserved_pages().

We did that all in order to protect the preloaded kernel and ramdisk.

I forgot the details why commit(558df7209e) wasn't necessary before.
AFAIK it became necessary because of some kdump (mmap?) rework.

Thanks for the explanation.
So, on s390 the physical memory address has the same value as its kernel virtual address,
and kmap() actually returns the value of the physical address of the page, right?

Uh, this is indeed strange.

Correct. On s390 kmap() always return the physical address of the page.

We have an 1:1 mapping for all the physical memory. For this area
virtual=real. In addition to that we have the vmalloc area above
the 1:1 mapping where some of the memory is mapped a second time.

Yeah, as Michael said, "memblock_remove(crash_base, crash_size)" creates a big hole in the kernel pgtable.
In order to have one united arch-helper, I guess we can forbid this to let the pgtable setup for crash memory,
then we can easily move the logic of crash_map_reserved_pages() to arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres(),  and
move crash_unmap_reserved_pages() to arch_kexec_protect_crashkres(). After that crash_map_reserved_pages()
called in crash_shrink_memory() can be safely removed as well.

I think it doesn't hurt doing os_info_crashkernel_add() multiple times which will make
the code cleaner.

Shouldn't we do the similar thing for kexec_file_load()?

If using arch_kexec_unprotect/protect_crashkres(), we don't need this since there's a judge at the entry :-)
    if (kexec_crash_image) {
        ret = -ENOENT;
        goto unlock;
    }

Hi, Dmitry.

Previously, I sent a patch to fix this issue. You can refer it in
following link.

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2015-July/013960.html

And this patch is fixed from kexec.

If crash_map_reserved_pages fails to map reserved memory, is it
necessary to continue the process on s390? If no, it is better to enter
the error handle path, then return. Thus there is no need to pass the
parameter to indicate the error or not.

It is fine to cleanup this function. And add the logic into function
crash_unmap_reserved_pages.

Oh, scratch my patch - I'm fine with yours, wanted to do the similar thing

There were a bunch of patches tossed around in that thread but I'm not
sure that anything actually got applied?  Perhaps some resending is
needed.

Hi, Andrew.

I will work on it to update a new patch.
