[GIT PULL] KVM: x86: MMU changes for 6.12

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

 



The bulk of the changes are to clean up the thorny "unprotect and retry" mess
that grew over time.  The other notable change is to support yielding in the
shadow MMU when zapping rmaps (simply a historic oversight, AFAICT).

The following changes since commit 47ac09b91befbb6a235ab620c32af719f8208399:

  Linux 6.11-rc4 (2024-08-18 13:17:27 -0700)

  KVM: x86/mmu: Use KVM_PAGES_PER_HPAGE() instead of an open coded equivalent (2024-09-09 20:22:08 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.12:

 - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify cases
   where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry paths against
   putting the guest into an infinite retry loop.

 - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping rmaps in
   the shadow MMU.

 - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in prepartion for
   adding MGLRU support in KVM.

 - Misc cleanups
