[PATCH 3/6] KVM: x86/mmu: Speed up dirty logging in tdp_mmu_map_handle_target_level

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

 



The existing TDP MMU methods to handle dirty logging are vcpu-agnostic
since they can be driven by MMU notifiers and other non-vcpu-specific
events in addition to page faults. However this means that the TDP MMU
is not benefiting from the new vcpu->lru_slot_index. Fix that by special
casing dirty logging in tdp_mmu_map_handle_target_level.

This improves "Populate memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test by 5%:

Command                         | Before           | After
------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------
./dirty_log_perf_test -v64 -x64 | 5.472321072s     | 5.169832886s
