Subject: [PATCH v3 05/15] KVM: x86: Add support for KVM userfault exits
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 04:24:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618042424.330664-6-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250618042424.330664-1-jthoughton@google.com>
Only a few changes are needed to support KVM userfault exits on x86:
1. Adjust kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() to force pages to be mapped at 4K
while KVM_MEM_USERFAULT is enabled.
2. Return -EFAULT when kvm_do_userfault() when it reports that the page
is userfault. (Upon failure to read from the bitmap,
kvm_do_userfault() will return true without setting up a memory fault
exit, so we'll return a bare -EFAULT).
For hugepage recovery, the behavior when disabling KVM_MEM_USERFAULT
should match the behavior when disabling KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES; make
changes to kvm_mmu_slot_apply_flags() to recover hugepages when
KVM_MEM_USERFAULT is disabled.
