Subject: [PATCH 03/20] KVM: arm64: Allow block-level stage-2 annotation
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 11:08:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803100904.3563942-4-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803100904.3563942-1-vdonnefort@google.com>
On host to guest donation, pKVM annotates the host stage-2 invalid
entries with the GFN. Now that the host stage-2 preserves annotations on
block split, we can allow these annotations at block-level. This enables
safe support for guest stage-2 huge mappings.
Allowing block-level annotations also reduces stage-2 fragmentation when
unmapping a huge region, and reduces host stage-2 memory usage by
avoiding the allocation of intermediate page tables.
