Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] ... and FWB for all
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 19:16:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123191637.715429-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)

[Yes, I have since learned that FWB doesn't always mean "Force Write
 Back". I'm not judging.]

This is v2 for this small series teaching pKVM about the benefits
(haha) of using FWB on the host S2 page-tables.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Dropped the stage2_pte_cacheable() hack after both Will and Alex
    made the valid point that I can't read

  - Killed stage2_has_fwb() altogether

  - Collected RBs and TBs, thanks to Joey and Fuad!
