[PATCH v11 1/3] xen/domain: unify domain ID allocation
Posted by dmkhn@proton.me 3 months ago
From: Denis Mukhin <dmukhin@ford.com> 

Currently, there are two different domain ID allocation implementations:

  1) Sequential IDs allocation in dom0less Arm code based on max_init_domid;

  2) Sequential IDs allocation in XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain; does not use
     max_init_domid (both Arm and x86).

The domain ID allocation covers dom0 or late hwdom, predefined domains,
post-boot domains, excluding Xen system domains (domid >=
DOMID_FIRST_RESERVED).

It makes sense to have a common helper code for such task across architectures
(Arm and x86) and between dom0less / toolstack domU allocation.

Note, fixing dependency on max_init_domid is out of scope of this patch.

Wrap the domain ID allocation as an arch-independent function domid_alloc() in
new common/domid.c based on the bitmap.

Allocation algorithm:
- If an explicit domain ID is provided, verify its availability and use it if
  ID is not used;
- If DOMID_INVALID is provided, search the range [1..DOMID_FIRST_RESERVED-1],
  starting from the last used ID. IDs are not wrapped around in dom0less case.
  Implementation guarantees that two consecutive calls will never return the
  same ID. ID#0 is reserved for the first boot domain (currently, dom0) and
  excluded from the allocation range.

Remove is_free_domid() helper as it is not needed now.

No functional change intended.

Changes since v10:
- fixup #ifdefs in domid_alloc()
- corrected use of domid_free() in domain_destroy()
- rebased
- moved domid_{alloc,free}() to common/domid.c so the functional test could be
  added later

I can see why. The console switch code is a bit annoying. It's unfortunate it
relies on that global for the early wraparound.

Why cf_check? That's only needed when using indirection (i.e) function pointers
so the call works with IBT. I don't think that's needed here?

This hunk with the guards breaks dom0less-capable Xen booting a non-dom0less
system (which effectively means any defconfig arm build). dom0 boots must wrap
around, irrespective of whether that same build could boot from a DTB.

The point of not wrapping around is merely a conservative check to ensure
dom0less-build can find a free domid by bump-allocating. This is already the
case with your code, so there's no need to special-case dom0less.

Just remove it.

Like before, this must be without the ifdef guards. Otherwise it breaks
non-dom0less runs on dom0less-enabled builds.

Might be worth asserting the bit is set. That way we'll catch XSAs in CI if
we try to incorrectly move the current calls to domid_free().

Neither of them should need the cf_check. Also, could you perhaps move the
explanation of how the allocation scheme works from the commit message into
the domid_alloc() prototype? That way callers can reason about the API without
git-blaming to find out.

Yep, I have a series which removes `max_init_domid` here:
