Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: s390: Replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() for sie_page2 and CMMA
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 09:15:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-s390-kvm-v1-4-3bc0986550b1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-s390-kvm-v1-0-3bc0986550b1@kernel.org>

kvm_arch_init_vm() allocates struct sie_page2 that holds the facility
list and the crypto control block of a VM and kvm_s390_vcpu_setup_cmma()
allocates the CMMA collaborative memory management block referenced by
the SIE control block. Both are passed to the hardware as physical
addresses and must be page aligned.

kmalloc() guarantees that a power of two sized allocation is aligned to
its size, so a PAGE_SIZE allocation is page aligned as well.

These buffers can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about them to go directly to the page allocator.

kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.

Performance difference between kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not
measurable as both allocators take an object/page from a per-CPU list for
fast path allocations.

For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.

The sie_page allocated in kvm_arch_vcpu_create() is left alone because it
is mapped to userspace with virt_to_page() in kvm_arch_vcpu_fault() and
therefore really needs a struct page.

Replace use of get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() and free_page() with
kfree().
