Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] hv_netvsc: back GPADL buffers with kmalloc + decrypt + vmap
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:56:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721195633.1438361-3-kameroncarr@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721195633.1438361-1-kameroncarr@linux.microsoft.com>

Allocate the buffer as a list of physically-contiguous chunks using
alloc_pages_node() starting at MAX_PAGE_ORDER and falling back to smaller
orders. Each chunk is transitioned to host-visible via
set_memory_decrypted() on its direct-map address, then all chunks are
stitched together via vmap() into a single virtually-contiguous address.

Use vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted() so the vmbus layer doesn't
try to decrypt the virtual address. At teardown, vunmap() the range and
re-encrypt and free each chunk individually; any chunk that fails
re-encryption is leaked to prevent accidentally freeing decrypted memory.

Because vunmap() and set_memory_encrypted() must run in process context,
replace the rcu_head/call_rcu() pair used to defer free_netvsc_device()
with rcu_work/queue_rcu_work().
