Subject: [PATCH v3 10/11] KVM: arm64: Add hardware-accelerated dirty-ring cleaning routine
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 11:45:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729104548.3439958-11-leo.bras@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729104548.3439958-1-leo.bras@arm.com>
Implement arm64 version of kvm_arch_dirty_ring_clear() making use of
FEAT_HACDBS.
It works by transversing the dirty-ring and converting its entries into
HDBSS entries based on the slot offset.
The resulting HDBSS array is then fed to the HACDBS mechanism that walks
the pagetable marking writable-dirty pages as writable-clean.
Only successfully cleaned entries are set as invalid on the dirty-ring, so
in case of error, falling back to generic software cleaning will take care
of any remaining entry in the dirty-ring.
