Subject: kvm: explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in hva_to_pfn_slow()
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2023 16:32:04 +0200

KVM is *the* case we know that really wants to honor NUMA hinting falls.
As we want to stop setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT implicitly, set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT whenever we might obtain pages on behalf of a VCPU
to map them into a secondary MMU, and add a comment why.

Do that unconditionally in hva_to_pfn_slow() when calling
get_user_pages_unlocked().

kvmppc_book3s_instantiate_page(), hva_to_pfn_fast() and
gfn_to_page_many_atomic() are similarly used to map pages into a
secondary MMU. However, FOLL_WRITE and get_user_page_fast_only() always
implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults -- as documented for
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT -- so we can limit this change to a single location
for now.

Don't set it in check_user_page_hwpoison(), where we really only want to
check if the mapped page is HW-poisoned.

We won't set it for other KVM users of get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages()
* arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c: not used to map pages into a
  secondary MMU.
* arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c: only used on shared TLB pages with userspace
* arch/s390/kvm/*: s390x only supports a single NUMA node either way
* arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c: not used to map pages into a secondary MMU.

This is a preparation for making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT no longer
implicitly be set by get_user_pages() and friends.
