[PATCH 2/7] KVM: MMU: introduce possible_writable_spte_bitmap

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It is used to track possible writable sptes on the shadow page on
which the bit is set to 1 for the sptes that are already writable
or can be locklessly updated to writable on the fast_page_fault
path, also a counter for the number of possible writable sptes is
introduced to speed up bitmap walking

Later patch will benefit good performance by using this bitmap and
counter to fast figure out writable sptes and write protect them
