[PATCH v4 0/4] KVM: x86: Dynamically allocate hashed page list

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

 



Allocate the hashed list of shadow pages dynamically (separate from
struct kvm), and on-demand.  The hashed list is 32KiB, i.e. absolutely
belongs in a separate allocation, and is worth skipping if KVM isn't
shadowing guest PTEs for the VM.

I double checked that padding kvm_arch with a 4KiB array trips the assert,
but padding with 2KiB does not.  So knock on wood, I finally got the assert
right.  Maybe.

v4:
 - Use smp_store_release() and smp_load_acquire() instead of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE,
   and update the comments accordingly. [Paolo, James]
 - Move the kvm_tdx assert to tdx.c. [Paolo]
 - Fix the assertion, again.  [Vipin, in spirit if not in reality]
 - Add a patch to move TDX hardware setup to tdx.c.

v3:
 -  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250516215422.2550669-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
 - Add comments explaining the {READ,WRITE}_ONCE logic, and why it's safe
   to set the list outside of mmu_lock. [Vipin]
 - Make the assertions actually work. [Vipin]
 - Refine the assertions so they (hopefully) won't fail on kernels with
   a bunch of debug crud added.

v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250401155714.838398-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
 - Actually defer allocation when using TDP MMU. [Vipin]
 - Free allocation on MMU teardown. [Vipin]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250315024010.2360884-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
