[PATCH 5/5] KVM: pfncache: Wait for pending invalidations instead of spinning

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

 



The busy loop in hva_to_pfn_retry() is worse than a normal page fault
retry loop because it spins even while it's waiting for the invalidation
to complete. It isn't just that a page might get faulted out again before
it's actually accessed.

Introduce a wait queue to be woken when kvm->mn_active_invalidate_count
reaches zero, and wait on it if there is any pending invalidation which
affects the GPC being refreshed.
