[PATCH v3 1/8] KVM: x86: Cache total page count to avoid traversing the memslot array

From: Maciej S. Szmigiero
Date: Sun May 16 2021 - 17:45:25 EST


From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is no point in recalculating from scratch the total number of pages
in all memslots each time a memslot is created or deleted.

Just cache the value and update it accordingly on each such operation so
the code doesn't need to traverse the whole memslot array each time.
