Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: Introduce kvm_unmap_hva_range() for kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 20:33:15 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120615203315.ce122966.yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120615203007.4f61bb17.yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp>

When we tested KVM under memory pressure, with THP enabled on the host,
we noticed that MMU notifier took a long time to invalidate huge pages.

Since the invalidation was done with mmu_lock held, it not only wasted
the CPU but also made the host harder to respond.

This patch mitigates this by using kvm_handle_hva_range().

On our x86 host, with a minimum configuration for the guest, the
invalidation became 40% faster on average and the worst case was also
improved to the same degree.
