Much of the stage-2 manipulation logic relies on being able to destroy block mappings if e.g. installing a smaller mapping in the range. The rationale for this behaviour is that stage-2 mappings can always be re-created lazily. However, this gets more complicated when the stage-2 page-table is used to store metadata about the underlying pages. In such cases, destroying a block mapping may lead to losing part of the state, and confuse the user of those metadata (such as the hypervisor in nVHE protected mode). To avoid this, introduce a callback function in the pgtable struct which is called during all map operations to determine whether the mappings can use blocks, or should be forced to page granularity. This is used by the hypervisor when creating the host stage-2 to force page-level mappings when using non-default protection attributes.

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.
