[PATCH 1/3] KVM: VMX: Retry APIC-access page reload if invalidation is in-progress
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Jun 01 2023 - 21:15:31 EST
Re-request an APIC-access page reload if there is a relevant mmu_notifier
invalidation in-progress when KVM retrieves the backing pfn, i.e. stall
vCPUs until the backing pfn for the APIC-access page is "officially"
stable. Relying on the primary MMU to not make changes after invoking
->invalidate_range() works, e.g. any additional changes to a PRESENT PTE
would also trigger an ->invalidate_range(), but using ->invalidate_range()
to fudge around KVM not honoring past and in-progress invalidations is a
bit hacky.
Honoring invalidations will allow using KVM's standard mmu_notifier hooks
to detect APIC-access page reloads, which will in turn allow removing
KVM's implementation of ->invalidate_range() (the APIC-access page case is
a true one-off).
Opportunistically add a comment to explain why doing nothing if a memslot
isn't found is functionally correct.
