When using two-dimensional paging, the mmu_page_hash (which provides lookups for existing kvm_mmu_page structs), becomes imbalanced; with too many collisions in buckets 0 and 512. This has been seen to cause mmu_lock to be held for multiple milliseconds in kvm_mmu_get_page on VMs with a large amount of RAM mapped with 4K pages. The current hash function uses the lower 10 bits of gfn to index into mmu_page_hash. When doing shadow paging, gfn is the address of the guest page table being shadow. These tables are 4K-aligned, which makes the low bits of gfn a good hash. However, with two-dimensional paging, no guest page tables are being shadowed, so gfn is the base address that is mapped by the table. Thus page tables (level=1) have a 2MB aligned gfn, page directories (level=2) have a 1GB aligned gfn, etc. This means hashes will only differ in their 10th bit. hash_64() provides a better hash. For example, on a VM with ~200G (99458 direct=1 kvm_mmu_page structs): hash max_mmu_page_hash_collisions -------------------------------------------- low 10 bits 49847 hash_64 105 perfect 97 While we're changing the hash, increase the table size by 4x to better support large VMs (further reduces number of collisions in 200G VM to 29). Note that hash_64() does not provide a good distribution prior to commit ef703f49 ("Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64()"). Signed-off-by:
