Subject: [PATCH v6 13/18] KVM: arm64: Alloc pkvm_hyp_vm using pKVM heap allocator
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 15:28:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001142849.3367614-14-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001142849.3367614-1-vdonnefort@google.com>
Transition the allocation of the hypervisor VM state structure
(pkvm_hyp_vm) from the host to the hypervisor using
the new pKVM heap allocator (hyp_alloc()).
Previously, the host was responsible for calculating the size of,
allocating, and donating memory for pkvm_hyp_vm during VM creation. With
the heap allocator in place, the hypervisor now allocates this structure
dynamically at EL2.
Use the pkvm_call_hyp_req() wrapper in the host to invoke
__pkvm_init_vm, which automatically handles any top-up requests if the
hypervisor runs out of heap memory during allocation.
