v4 splits out a new patch (3) that makes use of KVM MMU invalidation logic
introduced into the RMP fault handling in patch 2 to avoid warning on a
benign case.

When handling an RMP fault, KVM attempts to split a 2MB page via PSMASH.
If PSMASH fails, the only expected return value is FAIL_BADADDR, which does
not distinguish the reason for the bad address. Hence, another RMP entry
lookup is required to determine whether the failure was benign.

Specifically, KVM re-checks the RMP entry to determine if another CPU raced
and already smashed the entry into 4KB pages.

A concurrent operation (such as guest_memfd truncation or hole punching)
can also race and transition the page to shared, removing the page from the
RMP table and causing PSMASH to fail. This can happen even if the page is
still referenced by KVM, because guest_memfd reclaim transitions the RMP
entry to shared when the folio is removed from the page cache.

Treat an unassigned RMP entry as an expected race when re-checking after a
failed PSMASH, and skip logging an error warning.

Rework KVM's handling of RMP faults to rely on MMU invalidation logic for
safety, instead of the current approach of holding onto a folio reference
until the RMP operations are complete.  I.e. drop the reference gifted by
guest_memfd immediately after getting the PFN, and instead do RMP updates
under mmu_lock, after checking for relevant MMU invalidations.

This will allow dropping guest_memfd's reference gifting entirely, which is
ideally how KVM would operate for all "follow PFN" operations (GUP has many
more complications, which is why KVM holds a reference across page
faults *on top* of the standard MMU invalidation logic).

When handling an RMP fault, KVM looks up the RMP entry for the backing
PFN to determine if a 2MB page needs to be split via PSMASH. If the RMP
entry is not assigned (or lookup fails), KVM logs a rate-limited warning
under the assumption that private memory should always have an assigned
RMP entry.

However, a concurrent invalidation (such as guest_memfd hole punching) can
race with RMP fault handling and transition the page to shared, unassigning
the RMP entry after KVM fetched the PFN. In such cases, not finding an
assigned RMP entry is benign.

Check mmu_invalidate_retry_gfn() under mmu_lock before warning about a
missing or unassigned RMP entry, and suppress the spurious warning if an
invalidation occurred for the faulting GFN.

When reloading the guest VMSA for an SEV-SNP vCPU, KVM retrieves the PFN
from guest_memfd.

Drop the page reference immediately after retrieving the PFN instead of
holding it across MMU lock acquisition in preparation for a follow-up patch
to stop returning page pointers from guest_memfd PFN lookups.

This is safe because the page's validity and presence are governed by KVM's
MMU invalidation protocol rather than the page reference.

No functional change intended.

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

KVM currently expects guest_memfd PFN lookups to return a refcounted struct
page, which callers hold across fault handling.

Drop the page's refcount before returning from kvm_gmem_get_pfn() to
prepare for the in-place conversions series.

CoCo shared-to-private conversion handling must inspect folio refcounts to
ensure exclusive ownership by guest_memfd. A concurrent guest page fault
taking a temporary reference on the folio causes conversions to fail due to
an elevated refcount.

While this refcount is also taken on host userspace page faults, that
refcount is taken on behalf of the host userspace page tables. This
refcount will be dropped when conversions unmaps the page. Either way, once
there's an mmap() or userspace mapping, the pages are open to way more
refcounts, transient or not. This patch focuses on just dropping refcounts
before handing KVM a page.

guest_memfd already notifies KVM of page invalidations, so callers within
KVM only need to respect the MMU invalidation protocol to safely rely on
guest_memfd for page presence.

Since the page refcounts are dropped, don't return the struct page pointer.

Not returning the struct page from the guest_memfd PFN lookup moves KVM
closer toward supporting memory backends that are not backed by struct
page.

Here are some notes on the cleanup in the callers of kvm_gmem_get_pfn():

kvm_release_faultin_page() in ARM's gmem_abort() originally also serves to
set the page dirty and accessed under some conditions. The dirty and
accessed flags don't matter for guest_memfd anyway, so it is safe to just
drop the call to kvm_release_faultin_page().

For ARM's kvm_translate_vncr(), the local page pointer must be initialized
to NULL so that the shared cleanup path that releases faulted-in pages
safely no-ops for guest_memfd.

For x86, no additional changes are required in the MMU fault path because
the page fault tracking structure is zero-initialized at the start of page
fault handling, ensuring the refcounted page pointer is already NULL.
