[PATCH 0/6] KVM: Remove uses of struct page from x86 and arm64 MMU

KVM supports mapping VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory into the guest by using
follow_pte in gfn_to_pfn. However, the resolved pfns may not have
assoicated struct pages, so they should not be passed to pfn_to_page.
This series removes such calls from the x86 and arm64 secondary MMU. To
do this, this series modifies gfn_to_pfn to return a struct page in
addition to a pfn, if the hva was resolved by gup. This allows the
caller to call put_page only when necessated by gup.

This series provides a helper function that unwraps the new return type
of gfn_to_pfn to provide behavior identical to the old behavior. As I
have no hardware to test powerpc/mips changes, the function is used
there for minimally invasive changes. Additionally, as gfn_to_page and
gfn_to_pfn_cache are not integrated with mmu notifier, they cannot be
easily changed over to only use pfns.

This addresses CVE-2021-22543 on x86 and arm64.

David Stevens (6):
  KVM: x86/mmu: release audited pfns
  KVM: mmu: also return page from gfn_to_pfn
  KVM: x86/mmu: avoid struct page in MMU
  KVM: arm64/mmu: avoid struct page in MMU
  KVM: mmu: remove over-aggressive warnings
  drm/i915/gvt: use gfn_to_pfn's page instead of pfn
