[PATCH v2 2/3] KVM: TDX: Do not retry locally when the retry is caused by invalid memslot

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Avoid local retries within the TDX EPT violation handler if a retry is
triggered by faulting in an invalid memslot, indicating that the memslot is
undergoing a removal process.

This prevents the slot removal process from being blocked while waiting for
the VMExit handler to release the SRCU lock.

Opportunistically, export symbol kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() to allow for
per-vCPU acceleration of gfn_to_memslot translation.

[Yan: Wrote patch log, comment, fixed a minor error, function export]
