Subject: [PATCH 00/17] KVM: arm64: More user_mem_abort() rework
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 17:54:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316175451.1866175-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
Piqued by Fuad's initial set of patches[1] splitting user_mem_abort()
into more "edible" functions, I've added my on take on top of it with
a few goals in mind:
- contextualise the state by splitting kvm_s2_fault into more granular
structures
- reduce the amount of state that is visible and/or mutable by any
single function
- reduce the number of variable that simply cache state that is
already implicitly available (and often only a helper away)
I find the result reasonably attractive, and throwing it at a couple
of machines didn't result in anything out of the ordinary.
For those interested, I have stashed a branch at [2], and I'd
appreciate some feedback on the outcome.
