[Patch] KVM: x86/mmu: Make optimized __handle_changed_spte() for clear dirty log

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

 



Use a tone down version of __handle_changed_spte() when clearing dirty
log. Remove checks which will not be needed when dirty logs are cleared.

This change shows ~13% improvement in clear dirty log calls in
dirty_log_perf_test

Before tone down version:
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 10.006764203s. (Avg 3.335588067s/iteration)

After tone down version:
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 8.686433554s. (Avg 2.895477851s/iteration)
