[PATCH v7 10/13] KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Try to merge pages into a large page

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Mon Jan 22 2024 - 20:05:31 EST


From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

When a large page is passed to the KVM page fault handler and some of sub
pages are already populated, try to merge sub pages into a large page.
This situation can happen when the guest converts small pages into shared
and convert it back into private.

When a large page is passed to KVM mmu page fault handler and the spte
corresponding to the page is non-leaf (one or more of sub pages are already
populated at lower page level), the current kvm mmu zaps non-leaf spte at a
large page level, and populate a leaf spte at that level. Thus small pages
are converted into a large page. However, it doesn't work for TDX because
zapping and re-populating results in zeroing page content. Instead,
populate all small pages and merge them into a large page.

Merging pages into a large page can fail when some sub pages are accepted
and some are not. In such case, with the assumption that guest tries to
accept at large page size for performance when possible, don't try to be
smart to identify which page is still pending, map all pages at lower page
level, and let vcpu re-execute.

v7:
- typo freezed => frozen
- return 0 when page is merged into 2M large page instead of -EAGAIN

v5:
- Fix memory leak
