Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: limit deferred TLB flushing to PV owned pages
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 09:24:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909072451.67324-1-roger@xenproject.org> (raw)
The current logic on x86 will mark all domain owned pages as needed a TLB
flush before being re-used. However such TLB flushing is only strictly
needed for PV domain owned pages, as those can keep a reference to the page
in the TLB after it has been freed.
Limit the requirement of a flush to pages that are owned by PV domains.
