All of this falls in the "premature optimisation" bucket. Why should
we bother with any of this when not even 'AT S1' works correctly,
making it trivial to prevent a guest from making forward progress? You
also show no numbers that would hint at a measurable improvement under
any particular workload.
I am genuinely puzzled that you are wasting valuable engineering time
on *this*.

Isn't that the very definition of "!in_hyp_ctxt()"? You are abusing
the hw_mmu pointer to derive something, but the source of truth is the
translation regime, as defined by HCR_EL2.{E2H,TGE} and PSTATE.M.

Why isn't this a maple tree? If there is no overlap between mappings
(and it really shouldn't be any), why should we use a bare-bone rb-tree?
> + rwlock_t mmu_lock;
Hell no. We have plenty of locking already, and there is no reason why
this should gain its own locking. I can't see a case where you would
take this lock outside of holding the *real* mmu_lock -- extra bonus
point for the ill-chosen name.

I don't understand this condition. If nested is non-NULL, it's because
we're using a shadow S2. So why the additional condition?

All this should be removed in favour of simply using a maple tree.

What guarantees that the mapping you have for L1 has the same starting
address as the one you have for L2? L1 could have a 2MB mapping and L2
only 4kB *in the middle*.

Why would you drop the lock here....

... if taking it again here? What could have changed in between?

So simply hitting in the reverse mapping structure *frees* it? Meaning
that you cannot use it as a way to update a mapping?

There are a bunch of worrying issues with this patch. But more
importantly, this looks like a waste of effort until the core issues
that NV still has are solved, and I will not consider anything of the
sort until then.
I get the ugly feeling that you are trying to make it look as if it
was "production ready", which it won't be for another few years,
specially if the few interested people (such as you) are ignoring the
core issues in favour of marketing driven features ("make it fast").
Thanks,
M.
