[PATCH v3 4/5] KVM: pfncache: Move invalidation to invalidate_range_end hook

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

 



From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

By performing the invalidation from the 'end' hook, the process is a lot
cleaner and simpler because it is guaranteed that ->needs_invalidation
will be cleared after hva_to_pfn() has been called, so the only thing
that hva_to_pfn_retry() needs to do is *wait* for there to be no pending
invalidations.

Another false positive on the range based checks is thus removed as well.
