[PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Skip mmu_notifier changes when possible

From: David Stevens <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-28 06:07:03
Also in: kvm, kvmarm, linux-mips, lkml

These patches reduce how often mmu_notifier updates block guest page
faults. The primary benefit of this is the reduction in the likelihood
of extreme latency when handling a page fault due to another thread
having been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.

v2 -> v3:
 - Added patch to skip check for MMIO page faults
 - Style changes
