[PATCH v2 02/24] KVM: arm64: Allow non-coalescable pages in a hyp_pool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Quentin Perret <qperret@xxxxxxxxxx>

All the contiguous pages used to initialize a hyp_pool are considered
coalescable, which means that the hyp page allocator will actively
try to merge them with their buddies on the hyp_put_page() path.
However, using hyp_put_page() on a page that is not part of the inital
memory range given to a hyp_pool() is currently unsupported.

In order to allow dynamically extending hyp pools at run-time, add a
check to __hyp_attach_page() to allow inserting 'external' pages into
the free-list of order 0. This will be necessary to allow lazy
donation of pages from the host to the hypervisor when allocating guest
stage-2 page-table pages at EL2.
