Subject: [PATCH v2 02/13] KVM: arm64: Enable eager hugepage splitting if HDBSS is available
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:17:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629111820.1873540-3-leo.bras@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629111820.1873540-1-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 = 256K * PAGE_SIZE if the system supports HDBSS.
