[PATCH fixed] KVM: x86/mmu: Fast invalidation for TDP MMU

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Apr 19 2021 - 18:04:50 EST


From: Ben Gardon <bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx>

Provide a real mechanism for fast invalidation by marking roots as
invalid so that their reference count will quickly fall to zero
and they will be torn down.

One negative side affect of this approach is that a vCPU thread will
likely drop the last reference to a root and be saddled with the work of
tearing down an entire paging structure. This issue will be resolved in
a later commit.
