      KVM: s390: pv: asynchronous destroy for reboot · fb491d55
      Claudio Imbrenda authored
      Until now, destroying a protected guest was an entirely synchronous
      operation that could potentially take a very long time, depending on
      the size of the guest, due to the time needed to clean up the address
      space from protected pages.
      
      This patch implements an asynchronous destroy mechanism, that allows a
      protected guest to reboot significantly faster than previously.
      
      This is achieved by clearing the pages of the old guest in background.
      In case of reboot, the new guest will be able to run in the same
      address space almost immediately.
      
      The old protected guest is then only destroyed when all of its memory
      has been destroyed or otherwise made non protected.
      
      Two new PV commands are added for the KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND ioctl:
      
      KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE: set aside the current protected VM for
      later asynchronous teardown. The current KVM VM will then continue
      immediately as non-protected. If a protected VM had already been
      set aside for asynchronous teardown, but without starting the teardown
      process, this call will fail. There can be at most one VM set aside at
      any time. Once it is set aside, the protected VM only exists in the
      context of the Ultravisor, it is not associated with the KVM VM
      anymore. Its protected CPUs have already been destroyed, but not its
      memory. This command can be issued again immediately after starting
      KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM, without having to wait for completion.
      
      KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM: tears down the protected VM previously
      set aside using KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE. Ideally the
      KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM PV command should be issued by userspace
      from a separate thread. If a fatal signal is received (or if the
      process terminates naturally), the command will terminate immediately
      without completing. All protected VMs whose teardown was interrupted
      will be put in the need_cleanup list. The rest of the normal KVM
      teardown process will take care of properly cleaning up all remaining
      protected VMs, including the ones on the need_cleanup list.

      Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
      
       - memory leak fixes
      
       - fixes for directory leases, including an important one which fixes a
         problem noticed by git functional tests
      
       - fixes relating to missing free_xid calls (helpful for
         tracing/debugging of entry/exit into cifs.ko)
      
       - a multichannel fix
      
       - a small cleanup fix (use of list_move instead of list_del/list_add)
