From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <[email protected]> Use control page helpers for allocating and freeing TD control structures, such that these operations can work for Dynamic PAMT. The TDX module tracks some state for each page of physical memory that it might use. It calls this state the PAMT. It includes separate state for each page size a physical page could be utilized at within the TDX module (1GB, 2MB, 4KB). In Dynamic PAMT, only the 4KB page size state is allocated dynamically. So the kernel must ensure PAMT backing is installed for any 4KB page being gifted to the TDX module, and must tear down the backing when all associated gifted pages are reclaimed. TD scoped control pages (TDR, TDCS) and vCPU scoped control pages (TDVPR, TDCX) are all handed to the TDX module at 4KB page size and are therefore subject to this requirement. Replace the raw alloc_page()/__free_page() calls for these pages with tdx_alloc/free_control_page(). Switching between special Dynamic PAMT operations or normal page alloc/free operations is handled internally in tdx_alloc/free_control_page(). So don't check for Dynamic PAMT around these calls. Just call them unconditionally. Similarly, drop the NULL checks before freeing, as tdx_free_control_page() handles NULL internally. No functional change intended when Dynamic PAMT is not in use.
