SubjectRE: [PATCH v3 4/9] x86/mm/tlb: Flush remote and local TLBs concurrently
Date
From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2019 5:59 PM
>
> To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
> concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. Introduce
> paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
> and hyper-v are only compile-tested).
>
> While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
> a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
> function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
> might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
> changes.
>
> Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
> is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
> requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
> updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.
