Subject: [PATCH v4 06/17] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate DPAMT pages for vCPU-induced page split
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:10:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928091005.15567-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928090729.15468-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Extend the TDP MMU to allocate Dynamic PAMT backing pages (DPAMT pages) for
vCPU-induced huge page splits in mirror roots when DPAMT is enabled.

Leverage the .topup_external_cache() interface to topup the DPAMT cache
when allocating a new child page table for splitting. The DPAMT cache is
currently a per-vCPU thread-local list. When a vCPU-induced page split
occurs, DPAMT pages can be drawn locklessly from the list.

Pass min_nr_spts as 1 to .topup_external_cache(), indicating there's one
new S-EPT page table page. So, tdx_topup_external_pamt_cache() will
allocate DPAMT page pairs for both the newly added S-EPT page table page
and the demoted guest private page.

tdp_mmu_alloc_sp_for_split() is currently not reachable from a non-vCPU
context for mirror roots, since dirty page tracking is not yet allowed on
mirror roots. So, simply add a WARN if tdx_topup_external_pamt_cache() is
invoked under a non-vCPU context.
