Subject: [PATCH 00/15] Currently disabling dirty logging with the TDP MMU is extremely slow. On a 96 vCPU / 96G VM it takes ~45 seconds to disable dirty logging with the TDP MMU, as opposed to ~3.5 seconds with the legacy MMU. This series optimizes TLB flushes and introduces in-place large page promotion, to bring the disable dirty log time down to ~2 seconds.
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 15:45:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211115234603.2908381-1-bgardon@google.com> (raw)
Testing:
Ran KVM selftests and kvm-unit-tests on an Intel Skylake. This
series introduced no new failures.
Performance:
To collect these results I needed to apply Mingwei's patch
"selftests: KVM: align guest physical memory base address to 1GB"
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/29/310
David Matlack is going to send out an updated version of that patch soon.

Patch breakdown:
Patches 1 eliminates extra TLB flushes while disabling dirty logging.
Patches 2-8 remove the need for a vCPU pointer to make_spte
Patches 9-14 are small refactors in perparation for patch 19
Patch 15 implements in-place largepage promotion when disabling dirty logging
Changelog:
RFC -> v1:
Dropped the first 4 patches from the series. Patch 1 was sent
separately, patches 2-4 will be taken over by Sean Christopherson.
