[PATCH v4 09/12] KVM: x86/mmu: serialize vCPUs to zap gfn when guest MTRRs are honored

From: Yan Zhao
Date: Fri Jul 14 2023 - 03:21:56 EST


Serialize concurrent and repeated calls of kvm_zap_gfn_range() from every
vCPU for CR0.CD toggles and MTRR updates when guest MTRRs are honored.

During guest boot-up, if guest MTRRs are honored by TDP, TDP zaps are
triggered several times by each vCPU for CR0.CD toggles and MTRRs updates.
This will take unexpected longer CPU cycles because of the contention of
kvm->mmu_lock.

Therefore, introduce a mtrr_zap_list to remove duplicated zap and an atomic
mtrr_zapping to allow only one vCPU to do the real zap work at one time.
