If we just worry about the IPI, can we do something like in vhost_invalidate_vq_start()?         if (map) {                 /* In order to avoid possible IPIs with                  * synchronize_rcu_expedited() we use call_rcu() +                  * completion. */ init_completion(&c.completion);                 call_rcu(&c.rcu_head, vhost_finish_vq_invalidation); wait_for_completion(&c.completion);                 vhost_set_map_dirty(vq, map, index); vhost_map_unprefetch(map);         } ? > There's one other thing that bothers me, and that is that > for large rings which are not physically contiguous > we don't implement the optimization. > > For sure, that can wait, but I think eventually we should > vmap large rings. Yes, worth to try. But using direct map has its own advantage: it can use hugepage that vmap can't Thanks
