[RFC PATCH v2 08/10] kvm: pfncache: Support caching gmem pfns

From: Patrick Roy
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 12:35:05 EST


Inside the `hva_to_pfn_retry` loop, for gpa based gpcs, check whether
the gpa has KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE set, and if so, use
`kvm_gmem_get_pfn` with `KVM_GMEM_GET_PFN_SHARED` to resolve the pfn.
Ignore uhva based gpcs for now, as they are only used with Xen, and we
don't have guest_memfd there (yet). Gmem pfns that are cached by a gpc
have their sharing refcount elevated until the gpc gets invalidated (or
rather: until it gets refreshed after invalidation) or deactivated.

Since during the refresh loop the memory attributes could change between
private shared, store a uhva anyway, even if it will not be used in the
translation in the end.
