[PATCH v7 05/11] KVM: pfncache: allow a cache to be activated with a fixed (userspace) HVA

From: Paul Durrant
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 05:58:09 EST


From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some cached pages may actually be overlays on guest memory that have a
fixed HVA within the VMM. It's pointless to invalidate such cached
mappings if the overlay is moved so allow a cache to be activated directly
with the HVA to cater for such cases. A subsequent patch will make use
of this facility.
