Subject: [PATCH 00/12] KVM: MMU: cleanup around kvm_sync_page, and a few micro-optimizations
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:17:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456319873-34182-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

This series started from looking at mmu_unsync_walk for the ubsan thread.
Patches 1 and 2 are the result of the discussions in that thread.

Patches 3 to 9 do more cleanups in __kvm_sync_page and its callers.
Among other changes, it removes kvm_sync_page_transient and avoids
duplicate code between __kvm_sync_page and kvm_sync_pages.

I stopped where I had questions about the existing kvm_mmu_get_page
code (see patch 8 for the question).  However perhaps more cleanups
are possible, also thanks to Takuya's work on that function and
link_shadow_page.

Patches 10 to 12 are just micro-optimizations.

Guangrong, it would be great if you took a look since you know this part
of KVM very well.

I have tested this series minus patch 9, and it survived installation
of various Linux and Windows guests with EPT disabled.  Of course before
committing the patches I will retest with patch 9 included.
