[PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: Fix refaulting due to page table update
From: Punit Agrawal
Date: Mon Aug 13 2018 - 06:44:07 EST
Contention when updating a page table entry can lead to unnecessary
refaults. The issue was reported by a user when testing PUD hugepage
support[1] but also exists for PMD and PTE updates though with a lower
probability.
This version -
* fixes a nit reported by Suzuki
* Re-orders the checks when setting PMD hugepage
* drops mistakenly introduced Change-id in the commit message
Thanks,
Punit
