Subject: [PATCH 16/17] KVM: x86: Move error handling inside free_external_spt()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 13:14:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327201421.2824383-17-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327201421.2824383-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Move the logic for TDX’s specific need to leak pages when reclaim
fails inside the free_external_spt() op, so this can be done in TDX
specific code and not the generic MMU.

Do this by passing the SP in instead of the external page table
pointer. This way TDX code can set sp->external_spt to NULL. Since the
error is now handled internally, change the op to return void. This way
it also operated like a normal free in that success is guaranteed from
the callers perspective.

Opportunistically, drop the unused level arg while adjusting the sp arg.

Notable changes since last discussion
 - Since free_external_sp() is dropped in the latter DPAMT patches, don't
   bother renaming free_external_spt().
