[PATCH v3 1/2] KVM: x86: count actual tlb flushes

From: Liang Chen
Date: Thu Sep 18 2014 - 12:40:17 EST


From: Radim KrÄmÃÅ <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx>

- we count KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH requests, not actual flushes
(KVM can have multiple requests for one flush)
- flushes from kvm_flush_remote_tlbs aren't counted
- it's easy to make a direct request by mistake

Solve these by postponing the counting to kvm_check_request().
