Re: [PATCH 1/3] mm: userfaultfd: add new UFFDIO_SIGBUS ioctl

The basic idea here is to "simulate" memory poisoning for VMs. A VM running on some host might encounter a memory error, after which some page(s) are poisoned (i.e., future accesses SIGBUS). They expect that once poisoned, pages can never become "un-poisoned". So, when we live migrate the VM, we need to preserve the poisoned status of these pages.

When live migrating, we try to get the guest running on its new host as quickly as possible. So, we start it running before all memory has been copied, and before we're certain which pages should be poisoned or not.

So the basic way to use this new feature is:

• On the new host, the guest's memory is registered with userfaultfd, in either MISSING or MINOR mode (doesn't really matter for this purpose).
• On any first access, we get a userfaultfd event. At this point we can communicate with the old host to find out if the page was poisoned.
• If so, we can respond with a UFFDIO_SIGBUS - this places a swap marker

[as used to suggest..] maybe UFFDIO_POISON sounds better.

so any future accesses will SIGBUS. Because the pte is now "present", future accesses won't generate more userfaultfd events, they'll just SIGBUS directly.

UFFDIO_SIGBUS does not handle unmapping previously-present PTEs. This isn't needed, because during live migration we want to intercept all accesses with userfaultfd (not just writes, so WP mode isn't useful for this). So whether minor or missing mode is being used (or both), the PTE won't be present in any case, so handling that case isn't needed.

[as used to suggest..] I'd consider reusing SWAPIN_ERROR directly.

Actually.. I think maybe we should have 1 patch changing SWAPIN_ERROR from VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.

Let's imagine a VM having anonymous page backing and got a swapin error when faulted on one of the guest page. Instead of crashing the hypervisor with sigbus we should probably make it a MCE injected into the guest too, because there's no page corrupt in bare metal in this specific case, however to the guest it's the same as having one page corrupted just like a real MCE.
