KVM: fix overflow of zero page refcount with ksm running
We are testing Virtual Machine with KSM on v5.4-rc2 kernel, and found the zero_page refcount overflow. The cause of refcount overflow is increased in try_async_pf (get_user_page) without being decreased in mmu_set_spte() while handling ept violation. In kvm_release_pfn_clean(), only unreserved page will call put_page. However, zero page is reserved. So, as well as creating and destroy vm, the refcount of zero page will continue to increase until it overflows. step1: echo 10000 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/pages_to_scan echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/run echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/use_zero_pages step2: just create several normal qemu kvm vms. And destroy it after 10s. Repeat this action all the time. After a long period of time, all domains hang because of the refcount of zero page overflow. Qemu print error log as follow: … error: kvm run failed Bad address EAX=00006cdc EBX=00000008 ECX=80202001 EDX=078bfbfd ESI=ffffffff EDI...
