For each secondary MMU, I > think you're saying that there's one and only one mm_struct. Is that right? Yes, that is my understanding (at least with KVM). It's a secondary MMU derived from exactly one primary MMU (MM context -> page table hierarchy). The sophisticated ( :) ) notifier mechanism when updating the primary MMU will result in keeping the secondary MMU in sync (of course, what to sync, and how to, depends in KVM on the memory slot that define how the guest physical memory layout is derived from the process virtual address space). > >> * Maintains separate tables/PTEs, in completely separate page table >>   hierarchy > > This is the case for KVM and the VMX/SVM MMUs, but it's not generally > true about hardware. IOMMUs can walk x86 page tables and populate the > IOTLB from the _same_ page table hierarchy as the CPU. Yes, of course. -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
