Subject: [PATCH v2 10/14] x86/domain_page: drop redundant create_perdomain_mapping() call
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 10:43:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-asi-part2-10-ecc269f268b7@xenproject.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-asi-part2-0-ecc269f268b7@xenproject.org>
From: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
We want to change per-domain mappings to be per-vCPU mappings. In
preparation for that, we want to arrange that
create_perdomain_mapping() work either with a single perdomain area,
or with a per-vCPU perdomain area.
One of the current calls in a domain context turns out to be
unnecessary:
mapcache_domain_init() pre-plumbs L1 tables over the whole
inuse/garbage bitmap range (sized for the full MAPCACHE_ENTRIES
capacity), without populating any data pages. The plumbing is
redundant: mapcache_vcpu_init() installs the bitmap pages the domain
will actually use with populate=true calls, which allocate any missing
page-table structure on demand -- and since d->max_vcpus is fixed
before any vCPU is created, the range those calls cover never grows.
The pre-plumbed tail beyond it backs virtual addresses that are never
populated at all.
Drop the call. With the only fallible operation gone,
mapcache_domain_init() becomes void, and arch_domain_create()'s error
handling for it goes away.

Changes in v2:
- Added to the series (split out of the following patch).
Changes since the previously posted version:
- Split out of "x86/mm: switch {create,destroy}_perdomain_mapping()
domain parameter to vCPU", where the removal was folded into the
parameter switch without its own rationale.
