[PATCH v4 13/15] arm64: Reschedule process on aync PF

From: Gavin Shan
Date: Sat Aug 14 2021 - 21:03:25 EST


The page-not-present notification is delivered by SDEI event. The
guest reschedules current process to another one when the SDEI event
is received. It's not safe to do so in the SDEI event handler because
the SDEI event should be acknowledged as soon as possible.

So the rescheduling is postponed until the current process switches
from kernel to user mode. In order to trigger the switch, the SDEI
event handler sends (reschedule) IPI to current CPU and it's delivered
in time after the SDEI event is acknowledged.

A new thread flag (TIF_ASYNC_PF) is introduced in order to track the
state for the process, to be rescheduled. With the flag is set, there
is a head of wait-queue is associated with the process. The process
keeps rescheduling itself until the flag is cleared when page-ready
notification is received through (PPI) interrupt.
