Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/arm: Add support for 16 bit VMIDs



Hi Bhupinder,

On 25/11/16 10:33, Bhupinder Thakur wrote:
VMID space is increased to 16-bits from 8-bits in ARMv8 8.1 revision.
This allows more than 256 VMs to be supported by Xen.

This change adds support for 16-bit VMIDs in Xen based on whether the
architecture supports it.

The tag reviewed-by has a strong meaning, it means that the person has fully reviewed the code and he agrees with the modifications (i.e the code is good to be pushed). For more details see a good description in in Linux doc (see [1]).

In this case, neither Stefano nor I gave it. So please drop them until one of us formally gave him. (e.g Reviewed-by: Name <email>).

vmid_mask = NULL;

However, the NULL is not necessary here as global variable are initialized to 0 by default.

I still think this is very confusing to consider 16-bit VMID by default as this is an enhancement in a newer architecture.

I would prefer to see the loop inverted, i.e checking whether all the CPUs support 16-bit and set max_vmid to 16 bit if supported.

If you disagree please explain why.

I am not sure why we have to initialize the VMID allocator far before setting up the stage-2 translation (see call setup_virt_paging).

Overall, VMID are part of stage-2 subsystem. So I think it would be better to move this call in setup_virt_paging.

With that you could take advantage of the for_each_online loop in setup_virt_paging and avoid to have go through again all CPUs.

So what I would like to see is:
   - Patch #1: move p2m_vmid_allocator_init in setup_virt_paging
   - Patch #2: Add support for 16 bit VMIDs
