Subject: [PATCH v2 09/20] KVM: x86/xen: Don't dirty track "vCPU info" page
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 09:51:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529165114.748639-10-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529165114.748639-1-seanjc@google.com>

Give the Xen per-vCPU info page the same treatment as the per-VM shared
info page, and never mark it dirty, as KVM clearly relies on userspace to
assume the page is always dirty.  While the page is marked dirty on writes
via kvm_xen_inject_pending_events(), it's not marked dirty when written by
__kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast().

Furthermore, as was the case with the shared info page, writes in the event
channel fastpath may be done without an active vCPU, e.g. when called via
timer callback or irqfd injection.  I.e. attempting to fix the faspath
would run afoul of same issue that was fixed by commit ("KVM: x86: Fix wall
clock writes in Xen shared_info not to mark page dirty").
