[PATCH 13/16] KVM: x86/mmu: Move calls to thp_adjust() down a level

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Dec 06 2019 - 18:57:58 EST


Move the calls to thp_adjust() down a level from the page fault handlers
to the map/fetch helpers and remove the page count shuffling done in
thp_adjust().

Despite holding a reference to the underlying page while processing a
page fault, the page fault flows don't actually rely on holding a
reference to the page when thp_adjust() is called. At that point, the
fault handlers hold mmu_lock, which prevents mmu_notifier from completing
any invalidations, and have verified no invalidations from mmu_notifier
have occurred since the page reference was acquired (which is done prior
to taking mmu_lock).

The kvm_release_pfn_clean()/kvm_get_pfn() dance in thp_adjust() is a
quirk that is necessitated because thp_adjust() modifies the pfn that is
consumed by its caller. Because the page fault handlers call
kvm_release_pfn_clean() on said pfn, thp_adjust() needs to transfer the
reference to the correct pfn purely for correctness when the pfn is
released.

Calling thp_adjust() from __direct_map() and FNAME(fetch) means the pfn
adjustment doesn't change the pfn as seen by the page fault handlers,
i.e. the pfn released by the page fault handlers is the same pfn that
was returned by gfn_to_pfn().
