[PATCH RFC 4/4] kvm/x86: Allow to respond to generic signals during slow page faults

From: Peter Xu
Date: Thu Jun 16 2022 - 21:42:20 EST


All the facilities should be ready for this, what we need to do is to add a
new KVM_GTP_INTERRUPTIBLE flag showing that we're willing to be interrupted
by common signals during the __gfn_to_pfn_memslot() request, and wire it up
with a FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that we've just introduced.

Note that only x86 slow page fault routine will set this new bit. The new
bit is not used in non-x86 arch or on other gup paths even for x86.
However it can actually be used elsewhere too but not yet covered.

When we see the PFN fetching was interrupted, do early exit to userspace
with an KVM_EXIT_INTR exit reason.
