[PATCH v5 08/11] powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Applies counting method to monitor lockless pgtbl walks

Leonardo Bras leonardo at linux.ibm.com
Thu Oct 3 11:33:22 AEST 2019


Applies the counting-based method for monitoring all book3s_hv related
functions that do lockless pagetable walks.

Adds comments explaining that some lockless pagetable walks don't need
protection due to guest pgd not being a target of THP collapse/split, or
due to being called from Realmode + MSR_EE = 0

kvmppc_do_h_enter: Fixes where local_irq_restore() must be placed (after
the last usage of ptep).

Given that some of these functions can be called in real mode, and others
always are, we use __{begin,end}_lockless_pgtbl_walk so we can decide when
to disable interrupts.
