[RFC PATCH v2 07/10] kvm: pfncache: invalidate when memory attributes change

From: Patrick Roy
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 12:34:02 EST


Invalidate gfn_to_pfn_caches when the memory attributes of the gfn it
contains change.

Since gfn_to_pfn_caches are not hooked up to KVM's MMU notifiers, but
rather have to be invalidated right _before_ KVM's MMU notifiers are
triggers, adopt the approach used by
kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start for invalidating gpcs inside
kvm_vm_set_mem_attributes.
