[PATCH v8 09/11] KVM: x86/mmu: Add support for lockless walks of rmap SPTEs

From: James Houghton
Date: Tue Nov 05 2024 - 13:49:03 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a lockless version of for_each_rmap_spte(), which is pretty much the
same as the normal version, except that it doesn't BUG() the host if a
non-present SPTE is encountered. When mmu_lock is held, it should be
impossible for a different task to zap a SPTE, _and_ zapped SPTEs must
be removed from their rmap chain prior to dropping mmu_lock. Thus, the
normal walker BUG()s if a non-present SPTE is encountered as something is
wildly broken.

When walking rmaps without holding mmu_lock, the SPTEs pointed at by the
rmap chain can be zapped/dropped, and so a lockless walk can observe a
non-present SPTE if it runs concurrently with a different operation that
is zapping SPTEs.
