Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-3.19-take2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
Second round of changes for KVM for arm/arm64 for v3.19; fixes reboot
problems, clarifies VCPU init, and fixes a regression concerning the
VGIC init flow.
Conflicts:
arch/ia64/kvm/kvm-ia64.c [deleted in HEAD and modified in kvmarm]
This reverts commit 85c8555ff0 ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn.
The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code
based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should
be mapped as device memory.
However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin,
and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which
suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn'
from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on
it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake
and the patch above should be reverted.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...
- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.
This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.
Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.
- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.
- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.
There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.
2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask. Add @gfp to
percpu_counter_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used

We could have left percpu_counter_init() alone and added
percpu_counter_init_gfp(); however, the number of users isn't that
high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would
be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion. This is the one with
the most users. Other percpu data structures are a lot easier to

The following events can lead to an incorrect KVM_EXIT_MMIO bubbling
up to userspace:
(1) Guest accesses gpa X without a memory slot. The gfn is cached in
struct kvm_vcpu_arch (mmio_gfn). On Intel EPT-enabled hosts, KVM sets
the SPTE write-execute-noread so that future accesses cause
EPT_MISCONFIGs.
(2) Host userspace creates a memory slot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
covering the page just accessed.
(3) Guest attempts to read or write to gpa X again. On Intel, this
generates an EPT_MISCONFIG. The memory slot generation number that
was incremented in (2) would normally take care of this but we fast
path mmio faults through quickly_check_mmio_pf(), which only checks
the per-vcpu mmio cache. Since we hit the cache, KVM passes a
KVM_EXIT_MMIO up to userspace.
This patch fixes the issue by using the memslot generation number
to validate the mmio cache.

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.
If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.
We can prevent the following case:
vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1)
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------
1 vm exit |
2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
3 decide to cache something based on |
old memslots |
4 | change memslots
| (increments generation)
5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
6 retrieve generation # from new memslots |
7 tag cache with new memslot generation |
8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
... |
<action based on cache occurs even |
though the caching decision was based |
on the old memslots> |
... |
<action *continues* to occur until next |
memslot generation change, which may |
be never> |
|
By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).
Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.
To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

Now we can flush all the TLBs out of the mmu lock without TLB corruption when
write-proect the sptes, it is because:
- we have marked large sptes readonly instead of dropping them that means we
just change the spte from writable to readonly so that we only need to care
the case of changing spte from present to present (changing the spte from
present to nonpresent will flush all the TLBs immediately), in other words,

Relax the tlb flush condition since we will write-protect the spte out of mmu
lock. Note lockless write-protection only marks the writable spte to readonly
and the spte can be writable only if both SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE and
SPTE_MMU_WRITEABLE are set (that are tested by spte_is_locklessly_modifiable)
This patch is used to avoid this kind of race:
VCPU 0 VCPU 1
lockless wirte protection:
set spte.w = 0
lock mmu-lock
write protection the spte to sync shadow page,
see spte.w = 0, then without flush tlb
unlock mmu-lock
!!! At this point, the shadow page can still be
writable due to the corrupt tlb entry

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later
read can fault on that spte. Actually, we can make the large spte readonly
instead of making them un-present, the page fault caused by read access can
be avoided
The idea is from Avi:
| As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea,
| since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces
| jitter. This removes the need for the return value.
This version has fixed the issue reported in 6b73a9606, the reason of that
issue is that fast_page_fault() directly sets the readonly large spte to
writable but only dirty the first page into the dirty-bitmap that means
other pages are missed. Fixed it by only the normal sptes (on the
PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL level) can be fast fixed

Read-only large sptes can be created due to read-only faults as
follows:
- QEMU pagetable entry that maps guest memory is read-only
due to COW.
- Guest read faults such memory, COW is not broken, because
it is a read-only fault.
- Enable dirty logging, large spte not nuked because it is read-only.
- Write-fault on such memory causes guest to loop endlessly
(which must go down to level 1 because dirty logging is enabled).

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.
In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

KVM's existing shadow MMU code already supports nested TDP. To use it, we
need to set up a new "MMU context" for nested EPT, and create a few callbacks
for it (nested_ept_*()). This context should also use the EPT versions of
the page table access functions (defined in the previous patch).
Then, we need to switch back and forth between this nested context and the
regular MMU context when switching between L1 and L2 (when L1 runs this L2
with EPT).

This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's
nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use
EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest
to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1
getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the
previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page
tables over shadow page tables).
This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h.
paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code
for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so
paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once
with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions.
There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables
and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a
third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow
EPT table.
So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed
with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables.

Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when
the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen). It then returns
to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent.
This causes an infinite loop.
Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when
1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host
the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call
fault-page path with error_code = 0
2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered
since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after
memslot changed for 150 times
Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

The current kvm_mmu_zap_all is really slow - it is holding mmu-lock to
walk and zap all shadow pages one by one, also it need to zap all guest
page's rmap and all shadow page's parent spte list. Particularly, things
become worse if guest uses more memory or vcpus. It is not good for
scalability
In this patch, we introduce a faster way to invalidate all shadow pages.
KVM maintains a global mmu invalid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen and every shadow page stores the current global
generation-number into sp->mmu_valid_gen when it is created
When KVM need zap all shadow pages sptes, it just simply increase the
global generation-number then reload root shadow pages on all vcpus.
Vcpu will create a new shadow page table according to current kvm's
generation-number. It ensures the old pages are not used any more.
Then the obsolete pages (sp->mmu_valid_gen != kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen)
are zapped by using lock-break technique

What this function is doing is to ensure that the number of shadow pages
does not exceed the maximum limit stored in n_max_mmu_pages: so this is
placed at every code path that can reach kvm_mmu_alloc_page().
Although it might have some sense to spread this function in each such
code path when it could be called before taking mmu_lock, the rule was
changed not to do so.
Taking this background into account, this patch moves it into
kvm_mmu_alloc_page() and simplifies the code.
Note: the unlikely hint in kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() guarantees that the
overhead of this function is almost zero except when we actually need to
allocate some shadow pages, so we do not need to care about calling it
multiple times in one path by doing kvm_mmu_get_page() a few times.

When we create or move a memory slot, we need to zap mmio sptes.
Currently, zap_all() is used for this and this is causing two problems:
- extra page faults after zapping mmu pages
- long mmu_lock hold time during zapping mmu pages
For the latter, Marcelo reported a disastrous mmu_lock hold time during
hot-plug, which made the guest unresponsive for a long time.
This patch takes a simple way to fix these problems: do not zap mmu
pages unless they are marked mmio cached. On our test box, this took
only 50us for the 4GB guest and we did not see ms of mmu_lock hold time
any more.
Note that we still need to do zap_all() for other cases. So another
work is also needed: Xiao's work may be the one.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of
memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for
a long time such as tens of milliseconds. This patch controls the lock
hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others.
One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing
mmu_lock. But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not
only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a
whole, we should pay for that.
In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair
amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment,
cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory
even without THP. We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work
later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed.

No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect
kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() and kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access()
together by mmu_lock in kvm_arch_commit_memory_region(): the former
calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself.
Note: we do not need to protect kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages by
mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly.

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally
in a later patch. Although this may increase the time needed to protect
the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow
the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a
long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it
is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages.
Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of
slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number
of slots further.

We have two issues in current code:
- if target gfn is used as its page table, guest will refault then kvm will use
small page size to map it. We need two #PF to fix its shadow page table
- sometimes, say a exception is triggered during vm-exit caused by #PF
(see handle_exception() in vmx.c), we remove all the shadow pages shadowed
by the target gfn before go into page fault path, it will cause infinite
loop:
delete shadow pages shadowed by the gfn -> try to use large page size to map
the gfn -> retry the access ->...
To fix these, we can adjust page size early if the target gfn is used as page
table

If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
readonly to writable
Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
sp.role
It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
and drop two parameters in set_spte

There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte:
1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level()
and acquiring mmu-lock.
2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when
guest uses the target gfn as its page table.
In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case,
it works not good:
- for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and
do expensive instruction emulation.
- for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing
the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as
huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then
guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation.
Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it
will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is
performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe,
cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap.
Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a
bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change
(cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error
code, pte access permissions).
The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP
fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0.

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also
write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a
write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but
correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a
read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to
set the dirty bit).
It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code
readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into
a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.

Although the possible race described in
commit 85b7059169
KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of
mmu_shrink() introduced by
commit 1952639665
KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink()
Here is the bug:
if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) {
if (!nr_to_scan--)
break;
continue;
}
We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others:
in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake.
This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from
the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero. Note that we also add
comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically
important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call
kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to
invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page:
for each page
for each memslot
if page is in memslot
unmap using rmap
This means although every page in that range is expected to be found in
the same memslot, we are forced to check unrelated memslots many times.
If the guest has more memslots, the situation will become worse.
Furthermore, if the range does not include any pages in the guest's
memory, the loop over the pages will just consume extra time.
This patch, together with the following patches, solves this problem by
introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() which makes the loop look like this:
for each memslot
for each page in memslot
unmap using rmap
In this new processing, the actual work is converted to a loop over rmap
which is much more cache friendly than before.

Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging
is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active.
This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will
write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its
old value and this is what the guest sees.
This bug did not have any effect until now because:
- with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a
mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is
ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3
is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging
However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3
instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable
by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest.
The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3
reload. This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same
thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing
that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix.

/*
The reason I think is that the compiler assumes that
the rmap value could be 0, so
static u64 *rmap_get_first(unsigned long rmap, struct rmap_iterator
*iter)
{
if (!rmap)
return NULL;
if (!(rmap & 1)) {
iter->desc = NULL;
return (u64 *)rmap;
}
iter->desc = (struct pte_list_desc *)(rmap & ~1ul);
iter->pos = 0;
return iter->desc->sptes[iter->pos];
}
will not initialize iter.desc, but the compiler isn't
smart enough to see that
for (sptep = rmap_get_first(*rmapp, &iter); sptep;
sptep = rmap_get_next(&iter)) {
will immediately exit in this case.
I checked by adding
if (!*rmapp)
goto out;
on top which is clearly equivalent but disables the warning.
This patch uses uninitialized_var to disable the warning without
increasing code size.

mmu_shrink() needlessly iterates over all VMs even though it will not
attempt to free mmu pages from more than one on them. Fix that and also
check used mmu pages count outside of VM lock to skip inactive VMs faster.

The huge page size is 4M on non-PAE host, but 2M page size is used in
transparent_hugepage_adjust(), so the page we get after adjust the
mapping level is not the head page, the BUG_ON() will be triggered

Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable. We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.
Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.
We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

Its much cleaner to use PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL than its numeric value.

Iteration using rmap_next(), the actual body is pte_list_next(), is
inefficient: every time we call it we start from checking whether rmap
holds a single spte or points to a descriptor which links more sptes.
In the case of shadow paging, this quadratic total iteration cost is a
problem. Even for two dimensional paging, with EPT/NPT on, in which we
almost always have a single mapping, the extra checks at the end of the
iteration should be eliminated.
This patch fixes this by introducing rmap_iterator which keeps the
iteration context for the next search. Furthermore the implementation
of rmap_next() is splitted into two functions, rmap_get_first() and
rmap_get_next(), to avoid repeatedly checking whether the rmap being
iterated on has only one spte.
Although there seemed to be only a slight change for EPT/NPT, the actual
improvement was significant: we observed that GET_DIRTY_LOG for 1GB
dirty memory became 15% faster than before. This is probably because
the new code is easy to make branch predictions.
Note: we just remove pte_list_next() because we can think of parent_ptes
as a reverse mapping.

We have PTE_LIST_EXT + 1 pointers in this structure and these 40/20
bytes do not fit cache lines well. Furthermore, some allocators may
use 64/32-byte objects for the pte_list_desc cache.
This patch solves this problem by changing PTE_LIST_EXT from 4 to 3.
For shadow paging, the new size is still large enough to hold both the
kernel and process mappings for usual anonymous pages. For file
mappings, there may be a slight change in the cache usage.
Note: with EPT/NPT we almost always have a single spte in each reverse
mapping and we will not see any change by this.
