[Patch v2 0/5] Optimize clear dirty log

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

 



Hi,

This patch series has optimized control flow of clearing dirty log and
improved its performance by ~38%. Patch 2 has more details about
optimization.

It also got rid of many variants of the handle_changed_spte family of
functions and converged logic to one handle_changed_spte() function. It
also remove tdp_mmu_set_spte_no_[acc_track|dirty_log] and various
booleans for controlling them.

Thanks
Vipin

v2:
- Clear dirty log and age gfn range does not go through
  handle_changed_spte, they handle their SPTE changes locally to improve
  their speed.
- Clear only specific bits atomically when updating SPTEs in clearing
  dirty log and aging gfn range functions.
- Removed tdp_mmu_set_spte_no_[acc_track|dirty_log] APIs.
- Converged all handle_changed_spte related functions to one place.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230125213857.824959-1-vipinsh@xxxxxxxxxx/
