Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: MMU: fix kvm_is_mmio_pfn()
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 10:25:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171027022524.22589-1-haozhong.zhang@intel.com> (raw)

[I just copy the commit message from patch 3]

By default, KVM treats a reserved page as for MMIO purpose, and maps
it to guest with UC memory type.  However, some reserved pages are not
for MMIO, such as pages of DAX device (e.g., /dev/daxX.Y). Mapping
them with UC memory type will harm the performance.  In order to
exclude those cases, we check the host cache mode in addition and only
treat UC/UC- pages as MMIO.

  x86/mm: expose track_pfn_insert()
  KVM: add converters between pfn_t and kvm_pfn_t
