Subject: [PATCH 16/18] KVM: Don't take mmu_lock for range invalidation unless necessary
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2021 19:19:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210326021957.1424875-17-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210326021957.1424875-1-seanjc@google.com>

Avoid taking mmu_lock for unrelated .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications.  Because mmu_notifier_count must be modified while holding
mmu_lock for write, and must always be paired across start->end to stay
balanced, lock elision must happen in both or none.  To meet that
requirement, add a rwsem to prevent memslot updates across range_start()
and range_end().

For notifiers that disallow blocking, e.g. OOM reaping, simply go down
the slow path of unconditionally acquiring mmu_lock.  The sane
alternative would be to try to acquire the lock and force the notifier
to retry on failure.  But since OOM is currently the _only_ scenario
where blocking is disallowed attempting to optimize a guest that has been
marked for death is pointless.

Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.

Based heavily on code from Ben Gardon.
