There is no point in recalculating from scratch the total number of pages
in all memslots each time a memslot is created or deleted.

Just cache the value and update it accordingly on each such operation so
the code doesn't need to traverse the whole memslot array each time.

"memslots_pages" is a bit of a misnomer.  Any objection to avoiding naming problems
by explicitly casting to an "unsigned long" and simply operating on nr_mmu_pages?

		nr_mmu_pages = (unsigned long)kvm->arch.n_memslots_pages;
		nr_mmu_pages *= (KVM_PERMILLE_MMU_PAGES / 1000);
		nr_mmu_pages = max(nr_mmu_pages, KVM_MIN_ALLOC_MMU_PAGES);
		kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(kvm, nr_mmu_pages);

E.g. the whole thing can be

	if (!kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages &&
	    (change == KVM_MR_CREATE || change == KVM_MR_DELETE)) {
		unsigned long nr_mmu_pages;

		if (change == KVM_MR_CREATE) {
			kvm->arch.n_memslots_pages += new->npages;
		} else {
			WARN_ON(kvm->arch.n_memslots_pages < old->npages);
			kvm->arch.n_memslots_pages -= old->npages;
		}

		nr_mmu_pages = (unsigned long)kvm->arch.n_memslots_pages;
		nr_mmu_pages *= (KVM_PERMILLE_MMU_PAGES / 1000);

The above line will set nr_mmu_pages to zero since KVM_PERMILLE_MMU_PAGES
is 20, so when integer-divided by 1000 will result in a multiplication
coefficient of zero.

		nr_mmu_pages = max(nr_mmu_pages, KVM_MIN_ALLOC_MMU_PAGES);
		kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(kvm, nr_mmu_pages);
	}

+		kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(kvm, nr_mmu_pages);
+	}
kvm_mmu_slot_apply_flags(kvm, old, new, change);

Thanks,
Maciej
