[PATCH v9 6/6] KVM: SEV: Perform RMP optimizations on SNP guest shutdown
From: Ashish Kalra
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 17:59:46 EST
From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>
Pages are converted from shared to private as SNP guests are launched.
This destroys exisiting RMPOPT optimizations in the regions where
pages are converted.
Conversely, guest pages are converted back to shared during SNP guest
termination and their region may become eligible for RMPOPT
optimization.
To take advantage of this, perform RMPOPT after guest termination.
Do it after a delay so that a single RMPOPT pass can be done if
multiple guests terminate in a short period of time.
