We currently uniformly perform CMOs of D-cache and I-cache in function user_mem_abort before calling the fault handlers. If we get concurrent guest faults(e.g. translation faults, permission faults) or some really unnecessary guest faults caused by BBM, CMOs for the first vcpu are necessary while the others later are not. By moving CMOs to the fault handlers, we can easily identify conditions where they are really needed and avoid the unnecessary ones. As it's a time consuming process to perform CMOs especially when flushing a block range, so this solution reduces much load of kvm and improve efficiency of the stage-2 page table code. We can imagine two specific scenarios which will gain much benefit: 1) In a normal VM startup, this solution will improve the efficiency of handling guest page faults incurred by vCPUs, when initially populating stage-2 page tables. 2) After live migration, the heavy workload will be resumed on the destination VM, however all the stage-2 page tables need to be rebuilt at the moment. So this solution will ease the performance drop during resuming stage.
