Subject: [PATCH v4 05/17] KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Alloc external_spt page for mirror page table splitting
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:09:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928090946.15551-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928090729.15468-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com>
From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@intel.com>
Enhance tdp_mmu_alloc_sp_for_split() to allocate a page table page for the
external page table in preparation for splitting the mirror page table.
When the mirror page table is split in tdp_mmu_split_huge_page(), the
corresponding external page table also needs to be split. Therefore,
allocate external_spt in tdp_mmu_alloc_sp_for_split() to prepare for the
splitting.
The external_spt will be gifted to the TDX module and mapped as a page
table page in the S-EPT during splitting. Since the TDX module will
initialize the page content in the DEMOTE SEAMCALL, there is no need to
zero external_spt.

v4:
- "bool mirror" --> "bool is_mirror_sp". (Sean)
- Use __get_free_page() instead of get_zeroed_page(). (Sean)
- let is_mirror_root be const and called once. (Sean)
v3:
- Removed unnecessary declaration of tdp_mmu_alloc_sp_for_split(). (Kai)
- Fixed a typo in the patch log. (Kai)
RFC v2:
- NO change.
RFC v1:
- Rebased and simplified the code.
