The Ultravisor is expected to explicitly call H_SVM_PAGE_IN for all the pages of the SVM before calling H_SVM_INIT_DONE. This causes a huge delay in tranistioning the VM to SVM. The Ultravisor is only interested in the pages that contain the kernel, initrd and other important data structures. The rest contain throw-away content. However if not all pages are requested by the Ultravisor, the Hypervisor continues to consider the GFNs corresponding to the non-requested pages as normal GFNs. This can lead to data-corruption and undefined behavior. In H_SVM_INIT_DONE handler, move all the PFNs associated with the SVM's GFNs to secure-PFNs. Skip the GFNs that are already Paged-in or Shared or Paged-in followed by a Paged-out.

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.
