    KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all mmio sptes · f8f55942
    Xiao Guangrong authored
    This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
    all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
    
    KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
    kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
    generation-number into his available bits when it is created
    
    When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
    generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
    then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
    generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
    it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
    
    Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
    mmio sptes when the number is round
