hybrid: the driver is killed, and the driver comes back
H2 of docs/plan/hybrid.md -- the milestone the plan itself calls the one
that proves the whole idea, and the one that cannot be skipped.
# cat /proc/schinit
1 4 11 os.schos.vgpud
# kill 4
schinitd: restarting os.schos.vgpud
vgpud: claimed
vgpud: pid 8 drew a test pattern from userspace
The test pattern ends in a twelve-block tally of the drawing process's
pid, because a second run that redraws an identical picture is
indistinguishable from a first run that never stopped. Read off the
virtio-gpu scanout across four generations it says 4, 8, 10, 12, and the
DMA arena hands back the same physical address every time.
What it took:
* A halt the kernel can apply to a device it does not understand.
Clearing PCI_CMD_BUS_MASTER is the only one there is, and it has to
happen before the DMA goes back to the arena -- a dead driver's device
keeps reading a framebuffer the kernel is about to give to somebody
else. Claim sets the bit, release clears it; pcitest shows it in a bm
column, with a third state so a failed read is never printed as off.
* A refusal. vgpu_release() asks vga_fb_restore() whether there is a
framebuffer to put the console back on, and declines to hand over the
device if there is not. The rule that the kernel keeps a minimal
driver for everything on the path to a shell is worth writing down
only if something enforces it.
* The DMA arena not being owned by two allocators at once. This is the
bug that stopped H2: freevm() frees every mapped page below PHYSTOP
and the arena is the top 16 MB of exactly that range, so a DMA block
mapped into a driver went onto the page allocator's free list when the
driver died, while pciuser_release_all() handed the same pages back to
the arena. The restarted vgpud asked for its framebuffer, got pages
kalloc() had already given out -- including its own page tables -- and
dma_alloc()'s zeroing wiped them, so it died inside the ioctl on the
return from a syscall whose stack had stopped existing. do_dma() now
records a VMA with no_free set, the way shared memory does.
* One exit status. KeepAlive must restart a driver that crashed and must
not restart one that has looked at the machine and found its device
absent: on hardware with no virtio-gpu that was fifteen spawns in
forty-five seconds, each printing a line to the console, for ever.
SCHINIT_EXIT_NORESTART is 78, sysexits.h's EX_CONFIG. It is not a new
manifest key -- the wait status has always travelled from PID 1 to the
supervisor, and note_exit() simply stopped discarding it.
The milestone's third clause, "the compositor reattaches", is not done
and is not claimed: there is no compositor running. That is recorded in
the plan as a Schcom milestone rather than counted here.
Closes the register row "A released PCI device" in docs/plan/1.0.md.
