[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't zap "direct" non-leaf SPTEs on memslot removal

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

 



When doing a targeted zap during memslot removal (DELETE or MOVE) zap only
leaf SPTEs and non-leaf SPTEs with gPTEs, as zapping non-leaf SPTEs without
gPTEs is unnecessary and weird because sp->gfn for such SPTEs is rounded,
i.e. night tightly coupled to the memslot.

Massage the related documentation so that KVM doesn't get stuck maintaining
undesirable ABI (again), and opportunistically add a lockdep assertion in
kvm_unmap_gfn_range() (largely because I keep forgetting that memslot updates
are special).

Sean Christopherson (3):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only SPs that shadow gPTEs when deleting memslot
  KVM: x86/mmu: Add lockdep assert to enforce safe usage of
    kvm_unmap_gfn_range()
  KVM: x86: Clean up documentation for KVM_X86_QUIRK_SLOT_ZAP_ALL
