    KVM: x86/mmu: Consider the hva in mmu_notifier retry · 4a42d848
    David Stevens authored
    Track the range being invalidated by mmu_notifier and skip page fault
    retries if the fault address is not affected by the in-progress
    invalidation. Handle concurrent invalidations by finding the minimal
    range which includes all ranges being invalidated. Although the combined
    range may include unrelated addresses and cannot be shrunk as individual
    invalidation operations complete, it is unlikely the marginal gains of
    proper range tracking are worth the additional complexity.
    
    The primary benefit of this change is the reduction in the likelihood of
    extreme latency when handing a page fault due to another thread having
    been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.
