[PATCH v2 2/2] kvm: mmu: Used range based flushing in slot_handle_level_range

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

 



Replace kvm_flush_remote_tlbs with kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address
in slot_handle_level_range. When range based flushes are not enabled
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address falls back to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs.

This changes the behavior of many functions that indirectly use
slot_handle_level_range, iff the range based flushes are enabled. The
only potential problem I see with this is that kvm->tlbs_dirty will be
cleared less often, however the only caller of slot_handle_level_range that
checks tlbs_dirty is kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start which
checks it and does a kvm_flush_remote_tlbs after calling
kvm_unmap_hva_range anyway.

Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and
	without this patch. The patch introduced no new failures.
