Hi Yanan, On 3/26/21 3:16 AM, Yanan Wang wrote:With a guest translation fault, the memcache pages are not needed if KVM is only about to install a new leaf entry into the existing page table. And with a guest permission fault, the memcache pages are also not needed for a write_fault in dirty-logging time if KVM is only about to update the existing leaf entry instead of collapsing a block entry into a table. By comparing fault_granule and vma_pagesize, cases that require allocations from memcache and cases that don't can be distinguished completely.

Thanks again for this, Alex! Hi Marc, Will, Any thoughts about this patch? Thanks, Yanan
