Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Use "standard" mmu_notifier hook for APIC page
Date: Thu,  1 Jun 2023 18:15:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230602011518.787006-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

Convert VMX's handling of mmu_notifier invalidations of the APIC-access page
from invalidate_range() to KVM's standard invalidate_range_{start,end}().

KVM (ab)uses invalidate_range() to fudge around not stalling vCPUs until
relevant in-flight invalidations complete.  Abusing invalidate_range() works,
but it requires one-off code in KVM, sets a bad precedent in KVM, and is
blocking improvements to mmu_notifier's definition of invalidate_range()
due to KVM's usage diverging wildly from the original intent of notifying
IOMMUs of changes to shared page tables.

Clean up the mess by hooking x86's implementation of kvm_unmap_gfn_range()
and stalling vCPUs by re-requesting KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD until the
invalidation completes.
