KVM: x86/mmu: Revert "Revert "KVM: MMU: zap pages in batch""
Now that the fast invalidate mechanism has been reintroduced, restore the performance tweaks for fast invalidation that existed prior to its removal. Paraphrashing the original changelog: Zap at least 10 shadow pages before releasing mmu_lock to reduce the overhead associated with re-acquiring the lock. Note: "10" is an arbitrary number, speculated to be high enough so that a vCPU isn't stuck zapping obsolete pages for an extended period, but small enough so that other vCPUs aren't starved waiting for mmu_lock. This reverts commit 43d2b14b. Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
