We repeat the same drill for the other page_track_notifier as well ...
I was thinking it would be nice to have something like:
void kvm_page_track_flush_slot(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_memory_slot *slot)
{
struct kvm_page_track_notifier_node *n;
int i;
kvm_for_each_track_notifier(n, &kvm->arch.track_notifier_head, i)
if (n->track_flush_slot)
n->track_flush_slot(kvm, slot);
}
which requires this monster:
#define kvm_for_each_track_notifier(notifier, head, tmp) \
for (tmp = !hlist_empty(&(head)->track_notifier_list); \
tmp && ({tmp = srcu_read_lock(&(head)->track_srcu); true;}); \
srcu_read_unlock(&(head)->track_srcu, tmp), tmp = 0) \
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(notifier, &(head)->track_notifier_list, node)
so waiting for more notifiers doesn't seem that bad. :)
