From a5338093bfb462256f70f3450c08f73e59543e26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:36:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_range The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM guest with lots of memory. This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM guests. This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings are first encountered. The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should never trigger this problem to begin with.
