From e7d11c7a894986a13817c1c001e1e7668c5c4eb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiao Guangrong Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 08:36:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: zap pages in batch Zap at lease 10 pages before releasing mmu-lock to reduce the overload caused by requiring lock After the patch, kvm_zap_obsolete_pages can forward progress anyway, so update the comments [ It improves the case 0.6% ~ 1% that do kernel building meanwhile read PCI ROM. ] Note: i am not sure that "10" is the best speculative value, i just guessed that '10' can make vcpu do not spend long time on kvm_zap_obsolete_pages and do not cause mmu-lock too hungry.
