But we are on the ioctl context and the paths we are optimizing for have heavy workload, disabling interrupt is not good for the system performance We add a indicator into kvm struct (kvm->arch.rcu_free_shadow_page), then use call_rcu() to free the shadow page if that indicator is set. Set/Clear the indicator are protected by slot-lock, so it need not be atomic and does not hurt the performance and the scalability Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong --- arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 6 +++++- arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h index 531f47c..dc842b6 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h @@ -226,7 +226,10 @@ struct kvm_mmu_page { /* The page is obsolete if mmu_valid_gen != kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen. */ unsigned long mmu_valid_gen; - DECLARE_BITMAP(unsync_child_bitmap, 512); + union { + DECLARE_BITMAP(unsync_child_bitmap, 512); + struct rcu_head rcu; + }; #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 /* @@ -545,6 +548,7 @@ struct kvm_arch { */ struct list_head active_mmu_pages; struct list_head zapped_obsolete_pages; + bool rcu_free_shadow_page; struct list_head assigned_dev_head; struct iommu_domain *iommu_domain; diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c index f8fc0cc..7f3391f 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c @@ -2322,6 +2322,22 @@ static int kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_mmu_page *sp, return ret; } +static void free_pages_rcu(struct rcu_head *head) +{ + struct kvm_mmu_page *next, *sp; + + sp = container_of(head, struct kvm_mmu_page, rcu); + while (sp) { + if (!list_empty(&sp->link)) + next = list_first_entry(&sp->link, + struct kvm_mmu_page, link); + else + next = NULL; + kvm_mmu_free_page(sp); + sp = next; + } +} + static void kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page(struct kvm *kvm, struct list_head *invalid_list) { @@ -2342,6 +2358,13 @@ static void kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page(struct kvm *kvm, */ kvm_flush_remote_tlbs(kvm); + if (kvm->arch.rcu_free_shadow_page) { + sp = list_first_entry(invalid_list, struct kvm_mmu_page, link); + list_del_init(invalid_list); + call_rcu(&sp->rcu, free_pages_rcu); + return; + } + list_for_each_entry_safe(sp, nsp, invalid_list, link) { WARN_ON(!sp->role.invalid || sp->root_count); kvm_mmu_free_page(sp); diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h index 5b59c57..85405f1 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h @@ -115,4 +115,26 @@ static inline bool permission_fault(struct kvm_mmu *mmu, unsigned pte_access, } void kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_all_pages(struct kvm *kvm); + +/* + * The caller should ensure that these two functions should be + * serially called. + */ +static inline void kvm_mmu_rcu_free_page_begin(struct kvm *kvm) +{ + rcu_read_lock(); + + kvm->arch.rcu_free_shadow_page = true; + /* Set the indicator before access shadow page. */ + smp_mb(); +} + +static inline void kvm_mmu_rcu_free_page_end(struct kvm *kvm) +{ + /* Make sure that access shadow page has finished. */ + smp_mb(); + kvm->arch.rcu_free_shadow_page = false; + + rcu_read_unlock(); +} #endif -- 1.8.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
