I'm still reviewing 10 and 14-18. 10 is a huge change and the diff is pretty hard to parse. > > Patches 11-13 move arm64, MIPS, and PPC to the new APIs. > > Patch 14 yanks out the old APIs. > > Patch 15 adds the mmu_lock elision, but only for unpaired notifications. Reading through all this code and considering the changes I'm preparing for the TDP MMU have me wondering if it might help to have a more general purpose MMU lock context struct which could be embedded in the structs added in this patch. I'm thinking something like: enum kvm_mmu_lock_mode { KVM_MMU_LOCK_NONE, KVM_MMU_LOCK_READ, KVM_MMU_LOCK_WRITE, }; struct kvm_mmu_lock_context { enum kvm_mmu_lock_mode lock_mode; bool can_block; bool can_yield; bool flush; }; This could yield some grossly long lines, but it would also have potential to unify a bunch of ad-hoc handling. The above struct could also fit into a single byte, so it'd be pretty easy to pass it around. > > Patch 16 adds mmu_lock elision for paired .invalidate_range_{start,end}(). > This is quite nasty and no small part of me thinks the patch should be > burned with fire (I won't spoil it any further), but it's also the most > problematic scenario for our particular use case. :-/ > > Patches 17-18 are additional x86 cleanups. > > Sean Christopherson (18): > KVM: x86/mmu: Coalesce TDP MMU TLB flushes when zapping collapsible > SPTEs > KVM: x86/mmu: Move flushing for "slot" handlers to caller for legacy > MMU > KVM: x86/mmu: Coalesce TLB flushes when zapping collapsible SPTEs > KVM: x86/mmu: Coalesce TLB flushes across address spaces for gfn range > zap > KVM: x86/mmu: Pass address space ID to __kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_gfn_range() > KVM: x86/mmu: Pass address space ID to TDP MMU root walkers > KVM: x86/mmu: Use leaf-only loop for walking TDP SPTEs when changing > SPTE > KVM: Move prototypes for MMU notifier callbacks to generic code > KVM: Move arm64's MMU notifier trace events to generic code > KVM: Move x86's MMU notifier memslot walkers to generic code > KVM: arm64: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks > KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks > KVM: PPC: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks > KVM: Kill off the old hva-based MMU notifier callbacks > KVM: Take mmu_lock when handling MMU notifier iff the hva hits a > memslot > KVM: Don't take mmu_lock for range invalidation unless necessary > KVM: x86/mmu: Allow yielding during MMU notifier unmap/zap, if > possible > KVM: x86/mmu: Drop trace_kvm_age_page() tracepoint > > arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 5 - > arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c | 118 ++---- > arch/arm64/kvm/trace_arm.h | 66 ---- > arch/mips/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 5 - > arch/mips/kvm/mmu.c | 97 +---- > arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_book3s.h | 12 +- > arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 7 - > arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_ppc.h | 9 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c | 18 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.h | 10 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c | 98 ++--- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_radix.c | 25 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c | 12 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c | 56 +-- > arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c | 29 +- > arch/powerpc/kvm/trace_booke.h | 15 - > arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 6 +- > arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c | 180 ++++----- > arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu_internal.h | 10 + > arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.c | 344 +++++++----------- > arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.h | 31 +- > include/linux/kvm_host.h | 22 +- > include/trace/events/kvm.h | 90 +++-- > tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c | 4 - > .../selftests/kvm/lib/x86_64/processor.c | 2 + > virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 312 ++++++++++++---- > 26 files changed, 697 insertions(+), 886 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.31.0.291.g576ba9dcdaf-goog >
