Changelog v1->v2:
The condition in patch 1 was changed like this:
npages && (mem->flags & KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES)
This patch set makes kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() rmap based and
adds conditional rescheduling to it.
The motivation for this change is of course to reduce the mmu_lock hold
time when we start dirty logging for a large memory slot. You may not
see the problem if you just give 8GB or less of the memory to the guest
with THP enabled on the host -- this is for the worst case.
Takuya Yoshikawa (7):
KVM: Write protect the updated slot only when dirty logging is enabled
KVM: MMU: Remove unused parameter level from __rmap_write_protect()
KVM: MMU: Make kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() rmap based
KVM: Remove unused slot_bitmap from kvm_mmu_page
KVM: Make kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() take mmu_lock by itself
KVM: Make kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() take mmu_lock by itself
KVM: MMU: Conditionally reschedule when kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() takes a long time
