[RFC PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: gmem: Truncate pages on punch hole

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Thu Sep 21 2023 - 16:41:15 EST


From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

Although kvm_gmem_punch_hole() keeps all pages in mapping on punching hole,
it's common expectation that pages are truncated. Truncate pages on
punching hole. As page contents can be encrypted, avoid zeroing partial
folio by refusing partial punch hole.
