[PATCH v2 09/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Move huge page split sp allocation code to mmu.c

Thu Mar 10 16:25:11 PST 2022


Move the code that allocates a new shadow page for splitting huge pages
into mmu.c. Currently this code is only used by the TDP MMU but it will
be reused in subsequent commits to also split huge pages mapped by the
shadow MMU.

While here, also shove the GFP complexity down into the allocation
function so that it does not have to be duplicated when the shadow MMU
needs to start allocating SPs for splitting.

No functional change intended.
