Subject: [v5 0/3] KVM: irqchip: synchronize srcu only if needed

From: Yi Wang <[email protected]>

We found that it may cost more than 20 milliseconds very accidentally
to enable cap of KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP on a host which has many vms
already.

The reason is that when vmm(qemu/CloudHypervisor) invokes
KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP kvm will call synchronize_srcu_expedited() and
might_sleep and kworker of srcu may cost some delay during this period.
One way makes sence is setup empty irq routing when creating vm and
so that x86/s390 don't need to setup empty/dummy irq routing.

Note: I have no s390 machine so this patch has not been tested
thoroughly on s390 platform. Thanks to Christian for a quick test on
s390 and it still seems to work[1].

Changelog:
----------
v5:
- rename new function to kvm_init_irq_routing as Sean suggested.
- move invok of function of setting up empty before kvm_arch_init_vm.
- Add necessary comment.

v4:
- replace loop with memset when setup empty irq routing table.

v3:
- squash setup empty routing function and use of that into one commit
- drop the comment in s390 part

v2:
- setup empty irq routing in kvm_create_vm
- don't setup irq routing in x86 KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP
- don't setup irq routing in s390 KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP

v1:

Subject: [v5 1/3] KVM: setup empty irq routing when create vm

From: Yi Wang <[email protected]>

Add a new function to setup empty irq routing in kvm path, which
can be invoded in non-architecture-specific functions. The difference
compared to the kvm_setup_empty_irq_routing() is this function just
alloc the empty irq routing and does not need synchronize srcu, as
we will call it in kvm_create_vm().

Using the new adding function, we can setup empty irq routing when
kvm_create_vm(), so that x86 and s390 no longer need to set
empty/dummy irq routing when creating an IRQCHIP 'cause it avoid
an synchronize_srcu.
