Subject: [PATCH v5 6/7] KVM: arm64: Don't advertise eager page splitting under pKVM
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:03:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717130317.1953574-7-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717130317.1953574-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

Under pKVM the stage-2 walker resolves to pkvm_pgtable_stage2_split(), a
WARN_ON_ONCE(1) stub, yet KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE is still
enabled and reported for non-protected guests: the capability check keys
on the per-VM protected state while the walker dispatch keys on the
host-global mode. Enabling the cap and then dirty-logging the guest
reaches the stub, splatting a userspace-reachable WARN.

Reject the capability, and stop reporting a chunk size and the
supported block sizes, for every VM once pKVM is enabled, keyed on the
host-global mode like the split dispatch. Gating only protected VMs
would leave the non-protected guests that reach the stub still able to
enable it. Userspace decides whether eager splitting is available from
the block-size bitmap (QEMU falls back to no eager splitting when it
reads 0), so leaving it advertised steers an explicit request into the
enable failure instead of the fallback.
