[PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Skip mmu_notifier changes when possible

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

 



These patches reduce how often mmu_notifier updates block guest page
faults. The primary benefit of this is the reduction in the likelihood
of extreme latency when handling a page fault due to another thread
having been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.

v2 -> v3:
 - Added patch to skip check for MMIO page faults
 - Style changes
