[PATCH v2 5/7] KVM: x86/mmu: Leverage vcpu->last_used_slot for rmap_add and rmap_recycle

David Matlack <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.kvm-ppc,org.kernel.vger.kvm
Message-ID <[email protected]>
rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() both run in the context of the vCPU and
thus we can use kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() to look up the memslot. This
enables rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() to take advantage of
vcpu->last_used_slot and avoid expensive memslot searching.

This change improves the performance of "Populate memory time" in
dirty_log_perf_test with tdp_mmu=N. In addition to improving the
performance, "Populate memory time" no longer scales with the number
of memslots in the VM.

Command                         | Before           | After
------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------
./dirty_log_perf_test -v64 -x1  | 15.18001570s     | 14.99469366s
./dirty_log_perf_test -v64 -x64 | 18.71336392s     | 14.98675076s
