[PATCH 12/14] Revert "KVM: x86: use the fast way to invalidate all pages"

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

 



Revert to a slow kvm_mmu_zap_all() for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all().
Flushing all shadow entries is only done during VM teardown, i.e.
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() is only called when the associated MM struct
is being released or when the VM instance is being freed.

In normal operation there aren't any active vCPUs to defer to, and in an
unexpected teardown KVM deferring to running vCPUs is not desirable.

An argument can be made that KVM should still schedule voluntarily
during VM teardown (since it's a common path) to play nice with the rest
of the kernel, but during teardown that can be done without the fast
invalidate mechanism, e.g. marking the VM as dead to prevent MMU
activity.

This reverts commit 6ca18b6950f8dee29361722f28f69847724b276f.
