[PATCH v2 20/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Extend Eager Page Splitting to the shadow MMU

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

 



Extend KVM's eager page splitting to also split huge pages that are
mapped by the shadow MMU. Specifically, walk through the rmap splitting
all 1GiB pages to 2MiB pages, and splitting all 2MiB pages to 4KiB
pages.

Splitting huge pages mapped by the shadow MMU requries dealing with some
extra complexity beyond that of the TDP MMU:

(1) The shadow MMU has a limit on the number of shadow pages that are
    allowed to be allocated. So, as a policy, Eager Page Splitting
    refuses to split if there are KVM_MIN_FREE_MMU_PAGES or fewer
    pages available.

(2) Huge pages may be mapped by indirect shadow pages which have the
    possibility of being unsync. As a policy we opt not to split such
    pages as their translation may no longer be valid.

(3) Splitting a huge page may end up re-using an existing lower level
    shadow page tables. This is unlike the TDP MMU which always allocates
    new shadow page tables when splitting.  This commit does *not*
    handle such aliasing and opts not to split such huge pages.

(4) When installing the lower level SPTEs, they must be added to the
    rmap which may require allocating additional pte_list_desc structs.
    This commit does *not* handle such cases and instead opts to leave
    such lower-level SPTEs non-present. In this situation TLBs must be
    flushed before dropping the MMU lock as a portion of the huge page
    region is being unmapped.

  Splitting from Peter in Google's kernel from 2016. ]
