[PATCH v5 1/9] KVM: Add lockless memslot walk to KVM

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

 



Provide flexibility to the architecture to synchronize as optimally as
they can instead of always taking the MMU lock for writing.

Architectures that do their own locking must select
CONFIG_KVM_MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_LOCKLESS.

The immediate application is to allow architectures to implement the
test/clear_young MMU notifiers more cheaply.
