Currently disabling dirty logging with the TDP MMU is extremely slow. On a 96 vCPU / 96G VM backed with gigabyte pages, it takes ~200 seconds to disable dirty logging with the TDP MMU, as opposed to ~4 seconds with the shadow MMU. When disabling dirty logging, zap non-leaf parent entries to allow replacement with huge pages instead of recursing and zapping all of the child, leaf entries. This reduces the number of TLB flushes required. and reduces the disable dirty log time with the TDP MMU to ~3 seconds. Opportunistically add a WARN() to catch GFNs that are mapped at a higher level than their max level.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
