Subject: [PATCH 11/21] KVM: x86/mmu: Zero allocate shadow pages (outside of mmu_lock)
Date: Fri,  5 Jun 2020 14:38:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200605213853.14959-12-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200605213853.14959-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>

Set __GFP_ZERO for the shadow page memory cache and drop the explicit
clear_page() from kvm_mmu_get_page().  This moves the cost of zeroing a
page to the allocation time of the physical page, i.e. when topping up
the memory caches, and thus avoids having to zero out an entire page
while holding mmu_lock.
