[PATCH v13 51/85] KVM: VMX: Use __kvm_faultin_page() to get APIC access page/pfn

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2024-10-10 18:26:42
Also in: kvm, kvm-riscv, kvmarm, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, linux-riscv, lkml, loongarch
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Use __kvm_faultin_page() get the APIC access page so that KVM can
precisely release the refcounted page, i.e. to remove yet another user
of kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page().  While the path isn't handling a guest
page fault, the semantics are effectively the same; KVM just happens to
be mapping the pfn into a VMCS field instead of a secondary MMU.
