But take a > shot :) Yes, that is exactly the issue I hit when I attempted it. :) The locks need to be release if we do something different on the next loop iteration. It complicates the code and not sure if it is worth it in the long run. On x86 atleast, I don't see any perf issues with the TLB-flush per-PMD move, so the patch is Ok there. On arm64, it negates the performance benefit even though its not any worse than what we are doing currently at the PTE level. My thinking is to take it slow and get the patch in in its current state, since it improves x86. Then as a next step, look into why the arm64 tlb flushes are that expensive and look into optimizing that. On arm64 I am testing on a 4.9 kernel so I'm wondering there are any optimizations since 4.9 that can help speed it up there. After that, if all else fails about speeding up arm64, then I look into developing the cleanest possible solution where we can keep the lock held for longer and flush lesser. thanks, - Joel
