Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] KVM: arm64: Distinguish cases of memcache allocations completely
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2021 11:36:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210409033652.28316-3-wangyanan55@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210409033652.28316-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com>
With a guest translation fault, the memcache pages are not needed if KVM
is only about to install a new leaf entry into the existing page table.
And with a guest permission fault, the memcache pages are also not needed
for a write_fault in dirty-logging time if KVM is only about to update
the existing leaf entry instead of collapsing a block entry into a table.
By comparing fault_granule and vma_pagesize, cases that require allocations
from memcache and cases that don't can be distinguished completely.
