Subject: [PATCH V3 00/10] KVM: x86: MMU: Clean up x86's mmu code for future work
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 17:40:05 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151120174005.9880b89f54eee2cec2422da5@lab.ntt.co.jp> (raw)
It seems like you all are busy now, so I've made this patch set so that
mechanical and trivial changes come before.
V2->V3:
Patch 01: Rebased and moved here. Updated stale comments.
We may also want to use a union, inside the struct, to eliminate casting to
(u64 *) type when spte is in the head in the future.
Patch 02-05: No change.
About patch 03: There was a comment on the usage of braces for a single line
else-if statement from Xiao. As I answered, checkpatch did not complain about
this, and when the corresponding if block has multiple lines, some developers
prefer/recommend this style. Feel free to modify it if you don't like it.
Patch 06: Changed WARN_ON to BUG_ON as Marcelo suggested.
Patch 07: Removed unnecessary zero-initialization of sp->parent_ptes as Xiao
suggested.
I think these seven patches are ready for inclusion.
Patch 08-10: No change now, though there were a few comments.
This patch set is not intended to optimize anything, so these patches try to
keep the way mark_unsync() gets called as much as possible: the only changes
are when this gets called for the new parent_pte and when
mmu_page_add_parent_pte() gets called.
For these three, I'm not sure what we should do now, still RFC?
We can also consider other approaches, e.g. moving link_shadow_page() in the
kvm_get_mmu_page() as Paolo suggested before.
