[PATCH v4 5/7] KVM: x86: Relax locking for kvm_test_age_gfn and kvm_age_gfn

Wed May 29 11:05:08 PDT 2024


Walk the TDP MMU in an RCU read-side critical section. This requires a
way to do RCU-safe walking of the tdp_mmu_roots; do this with a new
macro. The PTE modifications are now done atomically, and
kvm_tdp_mmu_spte_need_atomic_write() has been updated to account for the
fact that kvm_age_gfn can now lockless update the accessed bit and the
R/X bits).

If the cmpxchg for marking the spte for access tracking fails, we simply
retry if the spte is still a leaf PTE. If it isn't, we return false
to continue the walk.

Harvesting age information from the shadow MMU is still done while
holding the MMU write lock.
