[PATCH v8 3/8] KVM: mmu: Make __kvm_follow_pfn not imply FOLL_GET

David Stevens stevensd at chromium.org

From: David Stevens <stevensd at chromium.org>

Make it so that __kvm_follow_pfn does not imply FOLL_GET. This allows
callers to resolve a gfn when the associated pfn has a valid struct page
that isn't being actively refcounted (e.g. tail pages of non-compound
higher order pages). For a caller to safely omit FOLL_GET, all usages of
the returned pfn must be guarded by a mmu notifier.

This also adds a is_refcounted_page out parameter to kvm_follow_pfn that
is set when the returned pfn has an associated struct page with a valid
refcount. Callers that don't pass FOLL_GET should remember this value
and use it to avoid places like kvm_is_ad_tracked_page that assume a
non-zero refcount.
