(Oliver) - Dropped the comment on the next-mapping lookup. (Vincent) - Collected Reviewed-by from Vincent on patch 2. (thanks!) Two patches that make stage-2 teardown take time proportional to what is mapped, rather than to the size of the IPA space as it has since 4ddfab5436b6. Under QEMU TCG ('-cpu max', 16K pages with LPA2), destroying even an empty VM takes about 7 seconds in pKVM. Without pKVM it takes about 19 seconds if the VM requests a 52-bit IPA (crosvm requests the host's limit). With the series, both take well under a second. Tested only under QEMU. The first has the page-table walk return where it stopped, so that the teardown steps over an invalid entry larger than a block-sized chunk in one go. The second has pKVM return where its next mapping starts. Based on Linux 7.4-rc1 (6628e7d4c6b25).
