Subject: [PATCH v2 00/22] Huge mapping support for protected VMs
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:50:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911135053.146435-1-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)

Currently, pKVM handles stage-2 mappings and ownership tracking strictly
at the PAGE_SIZE level. This series extends pKVM to support PMD_SIZE
block mappings, thereby enabling Transparent Huge Pages (THP) for
protected guests. hugetlbfs is currently unsupported as it does not
appear as swapbacked.

Summary of changes:

1. Enable host stage-2 block-level annotations:

The host stage-2 being annotated with the GFN of the guest on the
host->guest donation transitions, we allow block-level annotations to
ensure the host stage-2 mapping size matches the guest stage-2.

2. Expand ownership transition HVCs:

Enable the ownership test to work with PMD_SIZE so we can test
transitions supporting more than PAGE_SIZE.

3. Implements the PKVM_HYP_REQ_SPLIT hypervisor request:

Allows the hypervisor to ask the host to split a mapping. This ensures
the guest s2, pkvm_mapping tree and host s2 are always using the same
mapping size.

4. Wires up THP support for protected VMs:

Use a PMD_SIZE mapping for protected VMs whenever
transparent_hugepage_adjust() acknowledge the presence of a huge-mapping
in the VMM stage-1.

Changelog:

v2:
  - Reorder patches to make the series bisectable.
  - Check memcache and WARN_ON if stage-2 split fails in __pkvm_host_split_guest()
  - __pkvm_pgtable_stage2_split(): return 0 if the block is already split.
  - kvm_pgtable_stage2_table_install() to let mem_protect handle the stage-2 splitting.
  - Refactor fix_host_ownership() (Wei-Lin)
  - Handle non-linear mappings in fix_host_ownership()
  - Drop _page_ from __pkvm_host_reclaim_page_guest and __pkvm_reclaim_dying_guest_page() (Wei-Lin)
  - Make a separate patch for hyp_poison_range() (Wei-Lin)
  - Use folio_add_pins in __pkvm_pgtable_stage2_split() (Wei-Lin)
  - Hold the mmap_read_lock() for transparent_hugepage_adjust() (Sashiko)
  - Catch 2MiB fault on existing 4KiB fault (Sashiko)
  - Add share/unshare testing of split blocks.
  - Rebased on 7.3-rc2
