ept identity pagetable and apic access page in kvm are pinned in memory.
As a result, they cannot be migrated/hot-removed.
But actually they don't need to be pinned in memory.
[For ept identity page]
Just do not pin it. When it is migrated, guest will be able to find the
new page in the next ept violation.
[For apic access page]
The hpa of apic access page is stored in VMCS APIC_ACCESS_ADDR pointer.
When apic access page is migrated, we update VMCS APIC_ACCESS_ADDR pointer
for each vcpu in addition.
Change log v1 -> v2:
1. Add [PATCH 4/5] to remove unnecessary kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable.
2. In [PATCH 3/5], only introduce KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD request.
s/[PATCH 3/5]/[PATCH 5/5]
3. In [PATCH 3/5], add set_apic_access_page_addr() for svm.
s/[PATCH 3/5]/[PATCH 5/5]
Tang Chen (5):
kvm: Add gfn_to_page_no_pin() to translate gfn to page without
pinning.
kvm: Use APIC_DEFAULT_PHYS_BASE macro as the apic access page address.
kvm, mem-hotplug: Do not pin ept identity pagetable in memory.
kvm: Remove ept_identity_pagetable from struct kvm_arch.
kvm, mem-hotplug: Do not pin apic access page in memory.
