[PATCH v3 kvm/queue 14/16] KVM: Handle page fault for private memory

From: Chao Peng
Date: Thu Dec 23 2021 - 07:33:13 EST


When a page fault from the secondary page table while the guest is
running happens in a memslot with KVM_MEM_PRIVATE, we need go
different paths for private access and shared access.

- For private access, KVM checks if the page is already allocated in
the memory backend, if yes KVM establishes the mapping, otherwise
exits to userspace to convert a shared page to private one.

- For shared access, KVM also checks if the page is already allocated
in the memory backend, if yes then exit to userspace to convert a
private page to shared one, otherwise it's treated as a traditional
hva-based shared memory, KVM lets existing code to obtain a pfn with
get_user_pages() and establish the mapping.

The above code assume private memory is persistent and pre-allocated in
the memory backend so KVM can use this information as an indicator for
a page is private or shared. The above check is then performed by
calling kvm_memfd_get_pfn() which currently is implemented as a
pagecache search but in theory that can be implemented differently
(i.e. when the page is even not mapped into host pagecache there should
be some different implementation).
