Subject: [PATCH v8 5/8] KVM: x86: Carve out common dirty logging update
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 06:39:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907063906.1964557-6-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907063906.1964557-1-nikunj@amd.com>
Move the PML enable/disable decision logic from the VMX into a new
common wrapper kvm_update_cpu_dirty_logging() in x86.c to avoid
code duplication. Update the update_cpu_dirty_logging() signature to
accept a bool enable parameter accordingly.
Note, this subtly changes the ordering for VMX: currently
guard(vmx_vmcs01) is taken before the atomic_read of
nr_memslots_dirty_logging; after this refactoring the atomic_read
happens in common code before guard(vmx_vmcs01) is taken. The ordering
flip is harmless as a concurrent change to nr_memslots_dirty_logging
will queue another update request.
No functional change intended for VMX, restructuring to prepare for SVM
PML support.
