Subject: [PATCH] arm64/kvm: Enable eager hugepage splitting if HDBSS is available
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:20:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <acQna2hLwdr1juTN@devkitleo> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <acQj5grOdZT8LUGp@devkitleo>
FEAT_HDBSS speeds up guest memory dirty tracking by avoiding a page fault
and saving the entry in a tracking structure.
That may be a problem when we have guest memory backed by hugepages or
transparent huge pages, as it's not possible to do on-demand hugepage
splitting, relying only on eager hugepage splitting.
So, at stage2 initialization, enable eager hugepage splitting with
chunk = PAGE_SIZE if the system supports HDBSS.
