[PATCH v5 4/7] KVM: guest_memfd: Fold __kvm_gmem_prepare_folio() into its sole caller
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jul 14 2026 - 19:11:28 EST
Fold __kvm_gmem_prepare_folio() into kvm_gmem_prepare_folio() and extend
the #ifdef guard to cover all of the kvm_gmem_prepare_folio(). Take care
to align the gfn _before_ computing the index, otherwise KVM would end up
with a mismatched gfn+pfn pair for folios larger than order-0 (this detail
was subtly handled by recomputing gfn in the helper using the aligned pfn).
Providing a single-use, ~2 line tail-call helper adds no value. In fact,
due to having to reconstitute the gfn, *and* effectively hiding the
alignment adjustment for hugepages, the separate helper is very arguably a
net negative.
Opportunistically convert the existing WARN in the prepare flow to a only
fire once, e.g. so that a guest_memfd bug doesn't unintentionally Dos the
kernel by spamming the log.
No functional change intended.
