Subject: [PATCH v7 00/23] KVM: Extend Eager Page Splitting to the shadow MMU

For the description of the "why" of this patch, I'll just direct you to
David's excellent cover letter from v6, which can be found at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220516232138.1783324-1-dmatlack@google.com.

This version mostly does the following:

- apply the feedback from Sean and other reviewers, which is mostly
  aesthetic

- replace the refactoring of drop_large_spte()/__drop_large_spte()
  with my own version.  The insight there is that drop_large_spte()
  is always followed by {,__}link_shadow_page(), so the call is
  moved there

- split the TLB flush optimization into a separate patch, mostly
  to perform the previous refactoring independent of the optional
  TLB flush

- rename a few functions from *nested_mmu* to *shadow_mmu*

David Matlack (21):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Optimize MMU page cache lookup for all direct SPs
  KVM: x86/mmu: Use a bool for direct
  KVM: x86/mmu: Stop passing "direct" to mmu_alloc_root()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Derive shadow MMU page role from parent
  KVM: x86/mmu: Always pass 0 for @quadrant when gptes are 8 bytes
  KVM: x86/mmu: Decompose kvm_mmu_get_page() into separate functions
  KVM: x86/mmu: Consolidate shadow page allocation and initialization
  KVM: x86/mmu: Rename shadow MMU functions that deal with shadow pages
  KVM: x86/mmu: Move guest PT write-protection to account_shadowed()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Pass memory caches to allocate SPs separately
  KVM: x86/mmu: Replace vcpu with kvm in kvm_mmu_alloc_shadow_page()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Pass kvm pointer separately from vcpu to
    kvm_mmu_find_shadow_page()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Allow NULL @vcpu in kvm_mmu_find_shadow_page()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Pass const memslot to rmap_add()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Decouple rmap_add() and link_shadow_page() from kvm_vcpu
  KVM: x86/mmu: Update page stats in __rmap_add()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Cache the access bits of shadowed translations
  KVM: x86/mmu: Extend make_huge_page_split_spte() for the shadow MMU
  KVM: x86/mmu: Zap collapsible SPTEs in shadow MMU at all possible
    levels
  KVM: Allow for different capacities in kvm_mmu_memory_cache structs
  KVM: x86/mmu: Extend Eager Page Splitting to nested MMUs

Paolo Bonzini (2):
  KVM: x86/mmu: pull call to drop_large_spte() into __link_shadow_page()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Avoid unnecessary flush on eager page split
