Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] recover hardware corrupted page by virtio balloon
Date: Wed, 25 May 2022 13:16:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPcxDJ5pduUyMA0rf+-aTjK_2eBvig05UTiTptX1nVkWE-_g8w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Some points to consider:

The injected MCE has _done_ the damages to guest workload. Recovering
the guest poisoned memory doesn't help with the already happened guest
workload memory corruption / loss / interruption due to injected MCEs.

The hypervisor _must_ emulate poisons identified in guest physical
address space (could be transported from the source VM), this is to
prevent silent data corruption in the guest. With a paravirtual
approach like this patch series, the hypervisor can clear some of the
poisoned HVAs knowing for certain that the guest OS has isolated the
poisoned page. I wonder how much value it provides to the guest if the
guest and workload are _not_ in a pressing need for the extra KB/MB
worth of memory.

Thanks,
-Jue
