Subject: KVM: MMU: Avoid handling same rmap_pde in kvm_handle_hva_range()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bcd3ef58283a471d6b65855b83f78bd39eb55391;p=linux-beck.git

KVM: MMU: Avoid handling same rmap_pde in kvm_handle_hva_range()

When we invalidate a THP page, we call the handler with the same
rmap_pde argument 512 times in the following loop:

  for each guest page in the range
    for each level
      unmap using rmap

This patch avoids these extra handler calls by changing the loop order
like this:

  for each level
    for each rmap in the range
      unmap using rmap

With the preceding patches in the patch series, this made THP page
invalidation more than 5 times faster on our x86 host: the host became
more responsive during swapping the guest's memory as a result.
