[PATCH 00/10] KVM: Clean up 'struct page' / pfn helpers

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Apr 28 2022 - 21:04:28 EST


Clean up KVM's struct page / pfn helpers to reduce the number of
pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() conversions. E.g. kvm_release_pfn_dirty()
makes 6 (if I counted right) calls to pfn_to_page() when releasing a dirty
pfn that backed by a vanilla struct page. That is easily trimmed down to
a single call.

And perhaps more importantly, rename and refactor kvm_is_reserved_pfn() to
try and better reflect what it actually queries, which at this point is
effectively whether or not the pfn is backed by a refcounted page.

Sean Christopherson (10):
KVM: Do not zero initialize 'pfn' in hva_to_pfn()
KVM: Drop bogus "pfn != 0" guard from kvm_release_pfn()
KVM: Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for ZERO_PAGE
KVM: Avoid pfn_to_page() and vice versa when releasing pages
KVM: nVMX: Use kvm_vcpu_map() to get/pin vmcs12's APIC-access page
KVM: Don't WARN if kvm_pfn_to_page() encounters a "reserved" pfn
KVM: Remove kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_page() and kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page()
KVM: Take a 'struct page', not a pfn in kvm_is_zone_device_page()
KVM: Rename/refactor kvm_is_reserved_pfn() to
kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page()
KVM: x86/mmu: Shove refcounted page dependency into
host_pfn_mapping_level()
