[PATCH v9 08/15] KVM: pfncache: allow a cache to be activated with a fixed (userspace) HVA

From: Paul Durrant
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 07:20:30 EST


From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some pfncache 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.

v9:
- Pass both GPA and HVA into __kvm_gpc_refresh() rather than overloading
the address paraneter and using a bool flag to indicated what it is.

v8:
- Re-worked to avoid messing with struct gfn_to_pfn_cache.
