    xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls · f62805f1
    Stefano Stabellini authored
    This patch is a significant performance improvement for the
    m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device.
    
    Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a
    __flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL.  Batching all the calls together
    is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall
    total rather than two hypercall per page.
    If paravirt_lazy_mode is set PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, all these calls are
    going to be batched together, otherwise they are issued one at a time.
    
    Adding arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode/arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode around the
    m2p_add/remove_override calls forces paravirt_lazy_mode to
    PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, therefore makes sure that they are always batched.
    
    However it is not safe to call arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode if we are in
    interrupt context or if we are already in PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU mode, so
    check for both conditions before doing so.
    
    Changes in v4:
    - rebased on 3.4-rc4: all the m2p_override users call gnttab_unmap_refs
    and gnttab_map_refs;
    - check whether we are in interrupt context and the lazy_mode we are in
    before calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode.
    
    Changes in v3:
    - do not call arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode in xen_blkbk_unmap, that
    can be called in interrupt context.
