Drivers: hv: vmbus: Improve the logic of reserving fb_mmio on Gen2 VMs
[ Upstream commit 016a25e4b0df4d77e7c258edee4aaf982e4ee809 ] If vmbus_reserve_fb() in the kdump/kexec kernel fails to properly reserve the framebuffer MMIO range (which is below 4GB) due to a Gen2 VM's screen.lfb_base being zero [1], there is an MMIO conflict between the drivers hyperv-drm and pci-hyperv: when the driver pci-hyperv's hv_allocate_config_window() calls vmbus_allocate_mmio() to get an MMIO range, typically it gets a 32-bit MMIO range that overlaps with the framebuffer MMIO range, and later hv_pci_enter_d0() fails with an error message "PCI Pass-through VSP failed D0 Entry with status" since the host thinks that PCI devices must not use MMIO space that the host has assigned to the framebuffer. This is especially an issue if pci-hyperv is built-in and hyperv-drm is built as a module. Consequently, the kdump/kexec kernel fails to detect PCI devices via pci-hyperv, and may fail to mount the root file system, which may reside in a NVMe disk. The issue described here has existed for SR-IOV VF NICs since day one of the pci-hyperv driver, and has been worked around on x64 when possible. With the recent introduction of ARM64 VMs that boot from NVMe, there is no workaround, so we need a formal fix. On Gen2 VMs, if the screen.lfb_base is 0 in the kdump/kexec kernel [1], fall back to the low MMIO base, which should be equal to the framebuffer MMIO base [2] (the statement is true according to my testing on x64 Windows Server 2016, and on x64 and ARM64 Windows Server 2025 and on Azure. I checked with the Hyper-V team and they said the statement should continue to be true for Gen2 VMs). In the first kernel, screen.lfb_base is not 0; if the user specifies a very high resolution, it's not enough to only reserve 8MB: let's always reserve half of the space below 4GB, but cap the reservation to 128MB, which is the required framebuffer size of the highest resolution 7680*4320 supported by Hyper-V. While at it, fix the comparison "end > VTPM_BASE_ADDRESS" by changing the > to >=. Here the 'end' is an inclusive end (typically, it's 0xFFFF_FFFF for the low MMIO range). Note: vmbus_reserve_fb() now also reserves an MMIO range at the beginning of the low MMIO range on CVMs, which have no framebuffers (the 'screen.lfb_base' in vmbus_reserve_fb() is 0 for CVMs), just in case the host might treat the beginning of the low MMIO range specially [3]. BTW, the OpenHCL kernel is not affected by the change, because that kernel boots with DeviceTree rather than ACPI (so vmbus_reserve_fb() won't run there), and there is no framebuffer device for that kernel. Note: normally Gen1 VMs don't have the MMIO conflict issue because the framebuffer MMIO range (which is hardcoded to base=4GB-128MB and size=64MB for Gen1 VMs by the host) is always reported via the legacy PCI graphics device's BAR, so the kdump/kexec kernel can reserve the 64MB MMIO range; however, if the VM is configured to use a very high resolution and the required framebuffer size exceeds 64MB (AFAIK, in practice, this isn't a typical configuration by users), the hyperv-drm driver may need to allocate an MMIO range above 4GB and change the framebuffer MMIO location to the allocated MMIO range -- in this case, there can still be issues [4] which can't be easily fixed: any possible affected Gen1 users would have to use a resolution whose framebuffer size is <= 64MB, or switch to Gen2 VMs. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/SA1PR21MB692176C1BC53BFC9EAE5CF8EBF51A@SA1PR21MB6921.namprd21.prod.outlook.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/SA1PR21MB69218F955B62DFF62E3E88D2BF222@SA1PR21MB6921.namprd21.prod.outlook.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/SN6PR02MB415726B17D5A6027CD1717E8D4342@SN6PR02MB4157.namprd02.prod.outlook.com/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/all/SA1PR21MB69213486F821CA5A2C793C81BF342@SA1PR21MB6921.namprd21.prod.outlook.com/ Fixes: 4daace0d8ce8 ("PCI: hv: Add paravirtual PCI front-end for Microsoft Hyper-V VMs") CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@outlook.com> Tested-by: Krister Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> Tested-by: Matthew Ruffell <matthew.ruffell@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
