This patch provide generic page_track infrastructure for write-protected guest page. The old page_track logic gets rewrote and now stays in a new standalone page_track.c. This page track infrastructure can be both used by vGUC and GTT shadowing. The important change is that it uses radix tree instead of hash table. We don't have a predictable number of pages that will be tracked. Here is some performance data (duration in us) of looking up a element: Before: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_tracked_page) 0.091 0.089 0.090 ... 0.093 0.091 0.087 ... 0.292 0.285 0.292 0.291 After: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_page_track) 0.104 0.105 0.100 0.102 0.102 0.100 ... 0.101 0.101 0.105 0.105 The hash table has good performance at beginning, but turns bad with more pages being tracked even no 3D applications are running. As expected, radix tree has stable duration and very quick. The overall benchmark (tested with Heaven Benchmark) marginally improved since this is not the bottleneck. What we benefit more from this change is scalability. Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyuw@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
