| |
Excise the MMU's one-off self-changing mapping logic and instead detect self-changing mappings in the primary "walk" flow, and rely on kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() to naturally handle "disallowed hugepage due to shadow page" conditions.
When is_self_change_mapping() was first added, KVM did hugepage adjustments before the primary walk, and so didn't account for shadow pages that were allocated for the current page fault, i.e. effectively consumed a stale disallow_lpage. Now that KVM adjust after allocating new shadow pages, the one-off code is superfluous.
Dropping the one-off code fixes an issue where KVM will force 4KiB pages for a 1GiB guest page even when using a 2MiB would be safe (1GiB overlaps a shadow page but 2MiB does not).
v2: - Track the "write #PF to shadow page" using an EMULTYPE flag. - Split the main patch in two.
