Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] KVM: arm64: Enable eager hugepage splitting if HDBSS is available
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 18:40:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709104026.2612599-2-zhengtian10@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709104026.2612599-1-zhengtian10@huawei.com>
From: Leonardo Bras <leo.bras@arm.com>
FEAT_HDBSS speeds up guest memory dirty tracking by avoiding a page fault
and saving the entry in a tracking structure.
That may be a problem when we have guest memory backed by hugepages or
transparent huge pages, as it's not possible to do on-demand hugepage
splitting, relying only on eager hugepage splitting.
So, at stage2 initialization, enable eager hugepage splitting with
chunk = 256K * PAGE_SIZE if the system supports HDBSS.
