Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:29:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334075375-25442-1-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

This patch is a significant performance improvement for the
m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device.

Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a
__flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL.  Batching all the calls together
is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall
total rather than two hypercall per page.
If paravirt_lazy_mode is set PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, all these calls are
going to be batched together, otherwise they are issued one at a time.

Adding arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode/arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode around the
m2p_add/remove_override calls forces paravirt_lazy_mode to
PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, therefore makes sure that they are always batched.


Changes in v3:
- do not call arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode in xen_blkbk_unmap, that
can be called in interrupt context.
