[PATCH v2] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix NX page unaccounting for TDP MMU pages

From: Carlos López

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 06:08:43 EST


unaccount_nx_huge_page() unconditionally passes KVM_SHADOW_MMU to
untrack_possible_nx_huge_page(), which is incorrect, particularly on
the path from kvm_recover_nx_huge_pages(), which handles pages from
both MMUs.

Fix this by adding a helper to retrieve the MMU type of a page and use
it to pass the correct variant down.

v2:
* Use a helper to retrieve the MMU type to avoid referencing KVM_TDP_MMU for
32 bit builds (Sashiko).
