Subject: [PATCH v1 01/12] KVM: arm64: Enable eager hugepage splitting if HDBSS is available
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:14:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430111424.3479613-3-leo.bras@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430111424.3479613-2-leo.bras@arm.com>

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.
