Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all mmio sptes
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 16:51:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370595088-3315-1-git-send-email-xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Changelog:
V3:
All of these changes are from Gleb's review:
1) rename RET_MMIO_PF_EMU to RET_MMIO_PF_EMULATE.
2) smartly adjust kvm generation number in kvm_current_mmio_generatio()
to avoid kvm_memslots->generation overflow.
V2:
- rename kvm_mmu_invalid_mmio_spte to kvm_mmu_invalid_mmio_sptes
- use kvm->memslots->generation as kvm global generation-number
- fix comment and codestyle
- init kvm generation close to mmio wrap-around value
- keep kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes
The current way is holding hot mmu-lock and walking all shadow pages, this
is not scale. This patchset tries to introduce a very simple and scale way
to fast invalidate all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold
any locks.
The idea is simple:
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round
Xiao Guangrong (6):
KVM: MMU: retain more available bits on mmio spte
KVM: MMU: store generation-number into mmio spte
KVM: MMU: make return value of mmio page fault handler more readable
KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all mmio sptes
KVM: MMU: add tracepoint for check_mmio_spte
KVM: MMU: init kvm generation close to mmio wrap-around value
