If migration of a VM with hugepages is canceled midway, KVM will adjust
the stage-2 table mappings back to block mappings. We currently use BBM
to replace the table entry with a block entry. Take adjustment of 1G block
mapping as an example, with BBM procedures, we have to invalidate the old
table entry of level 1 first, flush TLB and unmap the old table mappings,
right before installing the new block entry.
So there will be a bit long period when the table entry of level 1 is
invalid before installation of block entry, if other vCPUs access any
guest page within the 1G range during this period and find the table
entry invalid, they will all exit from guest with an translation fault.
Actually, these translation faults are not necessary, because the block
mapping will be built later. Besides, KVM will try to build 1G block
mappings for these translation faults, and will perform cache maintenance
operations, page table walk, etc.
Approaches of TTRem level 1,2 ensure that there will be not a moment when
the old table entry is invalid before installation of the new block entry,
so no unnecessary translation faults will be caused. But level-2 method
will possibly lead to a TLB conflict which is bothering, so we use nT both
at level-1 and level-2 case to avoid handling TLB conflict aborts.
