KVM: MMU: collapse TLB flushes when zap all pages
kvm_zap_obsolete_pages uses lock-break technique to zap pages, it will flush tlb every time when it does lock-break We can reload mmu on all vcpus after updating the generation number so that the obsolete pages are not used on any vcpus, after that we do not need to flush tlb when obsolete pages are zapped It will do kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page many times and use one kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page to collapse tlb flush, the side-effects is that causes obsolete pages unlinked from active_list but leave on hash-list, so we add the comment around the hash list walker Note: kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page is still needed before free the pages since other vcpus may be doing locklessly shadow page walking Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>
