This keeps a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries. On a page fault, if the entry exists in the cache, we can avoid some time-consuming paths, for example, looking up HPT, locking HPTE twice and searching mmio gfn from memslots, then directly call kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio(). In current implenment, we limit the size of cache to four. We think it's enough to cover the high-frequency MMIO HPTEs in most case. For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to 1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed, we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future. Signed-off-by: Yongji Xie <xyjxie@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> |
