[PATCH 0/2] Simplify RCU freeing of shadow pages

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

 



This patchset simplifies the freeing by RCU of mmu pages.

Xiao, I'm sure you thought of always freeing by RCU.  Why didn't you choose
this way?  I saves a couple of atomics in the fast path.

  KVM: MMU: Always free shadow pages using RCU
  KVM: MMU: Recover space used by rcu_head in struct kvm_mmu_page
