H A Dkvm_page_track.hb83ab124 Fri Jul 28 20:35:24 CDT 2023 Yan Zhao <yan.y.zhao@intel.com> KVM: x86: Add a new page-track hook to handle memslot deletion

Add a new page-track hook, track_remove_region(), that is called when a
memslot DELETE operation is about to be committed. The "remove" hook
will be used by KVMGT and will effectively replace the existing
track_flush_slot() altogether now that KVM itself doesn't rely on the
"flush" hook either.

The "flush" hook is flawed as it's invoked before the memslot operation
is guaranteed to succeed, i.e. KVM might ultimately keep the existing
memslot without notifying external page track users, a.k.a. KVMGT. In
practice, this can't currently happen on x86, but there are no guarantees
that won't change in the future, not to mention that "flush" does a very
poor job of describing what is happening.

Pass in the gfn+nr_pages instead of the slot itself so external users,
i.e. KVMGT, don't need to exposed to KVM internals (memslots). This will
help set the stage for additional cleanups to the page-track APIs.

Opportunistically align the existing srcu_read_lock_held() usage so that
the new case doesn't stand out like a sore thumb (and not aligning the
new code makes bots unhappy).
