A 128 GiB reserved mapping holds about 33.6 million 4KiB pfns, and vfio_unpin_pages_remote() walks every one of them whenever dma->has_rsvd is set, because reserved and non-reserved pfns might be mixed. For a mapping that contains only reserved pfns every put_pfn() is a no-op, but each one still pays for the pfn_valid()/PageReserved() classification. Seen on GPU-passthrough hosts running 6.13 with the v6.18 type1 series backported, where a single VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA held a CPU past the soft-lockup watchdog (host identification, register dump and module list trimmed): watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#261 stuck for 22s!

Track whether the mapping also contains non-reserved pfns and skip the walk entirely for reserved-only mappings. Mixed mappings keep the existing per-pfn walk, and ordinary mappings keep the existing batched unpin path. Tested on an affected host: reserved-only mappings up to 128 GiB take the new path and complete in microseconds. The ordinary-page path was exercised unchanged. Suggested-by: Alex Williamson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260803154707.71cc0d6b@shazbot.org/ Signed-off-by: Samuel Crossley --- This is the reserved-only fast path you suggested on v1, tested on the affected hosts. There is indeed no evidence that the non-reserved VFIO path needs chunking, and agree any such change to unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() would belong in mm, so not including it in this patch. --- Changes in v2: - Replace v1's cond_resched() chunking with the reserved-only fast path. - Tested on an affected host; reserved-only mappings up to 128 GiB now complete in microseconds instead of walking ~33.6M pfns. - Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260723-vfio-v1-1-3b59579916c6@gmail.com --- drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c b/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c index c8151ba54de3..f7addfbe1aab 100644 --- a/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c +++ b/drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c @@ -94,6 +94,7 @@ struct vfio_dma { bool lock_cap; /* capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK) */ bool vaddr_invalid; bool has_rsvd; /* has 1 or more rsvd pfns */ + bool has_non_rsvd; /* has 1 or more !rsvd pfns */ struct task_struct *task; struct rb_root pfn_list; /* Ex-user pinned pfn list */ unsigned long *bitmap; @@ -791,6 +792,7 @@ static long vfio_pin_pages_remote(struct vfio_dma *dma, unsigned long vaddr, out: dma->has_rsvd |= rsvd; + dma->has_non_rsvd |= !rsvd; ret = vfio_lock_acct(dma, lock_acct, false); unpin_out: @@ -821,11 +823,13 @@ static long vfio_unpin_pages_remote(struct vfio_dma *dma, dma_addr_t iova, long unlocked = 0, locked = vpfn_pages(dma, iova, npage); if (dma->has_rsvd) { - unsigned long i; + if (dma->has_non_rsvd) { + unsigned long i; - for (i = 0; i < npage; i++) - if (put_pfn(pfn++, dma->prot)) - unlocked++; + for (i = 0; i < npage; i++) + if (put_pfn(pfn++, dma->prot)) + unlocked++; + } } else { put_valid_unreserved_pfns(pfn, npage, dma->prot); unlocked = npage; --- base-commit: 4e3c1fc8abcb8eff062150b4340fa4569696d645 change-id: 20260723-vfio-decd86bf3cf6 Best regards, -- Samuel Crossley
