[RFC PATCH 25/39] KVM: guest_memfd: Split HugeTLB pages for guest_memfd use

From: Ackerley Tng
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 19:53:53 EST


From: Vishal Annapurve <vannapurve@xxxxxxxxxx>

In this patch, newly allocated HugeTLB pages are split to 4K regular
pages before providing them to the requester (fallocate() or KVM).

The pages are then reconstructed/merged to HugeTLB pages before
the HugeTLB pages are returned to HugeTLB.

This is an intermediate step to build page splitting/merging
functionality before allowing guest_memfd files to be mmap()ed.
