[RFC KVM 09/27] kvm/isolation: function to track buffers allocated for the KVM page table

From: Alexandre Chartre
Date: Mon May 13 2019 - 10:42:29 EST


The KVM page table will have direct references to the kernel page table,
at different levels (PGD, P4D, PUD, PMD). When freeing the KVM page table,
we should make sure that we free parts actually allocated for the KVM
page table, and not parts of the kernel page table referenced from the
KVM page table. To do so, we will keep track of buffers when building
the KVM page table.
