[PATCH v4 1/3] x86/hyperv: Use slow_virt_to_phys() in page transition hypervisor callback

From: mhkelley58
Date: Mon Jan 15 2024 - 21:21:24 EST


From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In preparation for temporarily marking pages not present during a
transition between encrypted and decrypted, use slow_virt_to_phys()
in the hypervisor callback. As long as the PFN is correct,
slow_virt_to_phys() works even if the leaf PTE is not present.
The existing functions that depend on vmalloc_to_page() all
require that the leaf PTE be marked present, so they don't work.

Update the comments for slow_virt_to_phys() to note this broader usage
and the requirement to work even if the PTE is not marked present.
