When a secure memslot is dropped, all the pages backed in the secure
device (aka really backed by secure memory by the Ultravisor)
should be paged out to a normal page. Previously, this was
achieved by triggering the page fault mechanism which is calling
kvmppc_svm_page_out() on each pages.
This can't work when hot unplugging a memory slot because the memory
slot is flagged as invalid and gfn_to_pfn() is then not trying to access
the page, so the page fault mechanism is not triggered.
Since the final goal is to make a call to kvmppc_svm_page_out() it seems
simpler to call directly instead of triggering such a mechanism. This
way kvmppc_uvmem_drop_pages() can be called even when hot unplugging a
memslot.
Since kvmppc_uvmem_drop_pages() is already holding kvm->arch.uvmem_lock,
the call to __kvmppc_svm_page_out() is made. As
__kvmppc_svm_page_out needs the vma pointer to migrate the pages,
the VMA is fetched in a lazy way, to not trigger find_vma() all
the time. In addition, the mmap_sem is held in read mode during
that time, not in write mode since the virual memory layout is not
impacted, and kvm->arch.uvmem_lock prevents concurrent operation
on the secure device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
