Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Radix do not clear partition scoped page table when page fault races with other vCPUs.

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 22:48:42 +1000

KVM with an SMP radix guest can get into storms of page faults and
tlbies due to the partition scopd page tables being invalidated and
TLB flushed if they were found to race with another page fault that
set them up.

This tends to cause vCPUs to pile up if several hit common addresses,
then page faults will get serialized on common locks, and then they
each invalidate the previous entry and it's long enough before installing
the new entry that will cause more CPUs to hit page faults and they will
invalidate that new entry.

There doesn't seem to be a need to invalidate in the case of an existing
entry. This solves the tlbie storms.
