I was trying to understand xen_drop_mm_ref() to update it for some
changes I'm working on, and I'm wondering whether we need
xen_exit_mmap() at all.

AFAICS the intent is to force all CPUs to drop their lazy uses of the
mm being destroyed so it can be unpinned before tearing down the page
tables, thus making it faster to tear down the page tables.  This
seems like it'll speed up xen_set_pud() and xen_set_pmd(), but this
seems like it may be of rather limited value.  Could we get away with
deleting it?

Also, this code in drop_other_mm_ref() looks dubious to me:

    /* If this cpu still has a stale cr3 reference, then make sure
       it has been flushed. */
    if (this_cpu_read(xen_current_cr3) == __pa(mm->pgd))
        load_cr3(swapper_pg_dir);

If cr3 hasn't been flushed to the hypervisor because we're in a lazy
mode, why would load_cr3() help?  Shouldn't this be xen_mc_flush()
instead?

Anyway, the whitespace-damaged patch below seems to result in a
fully-functional kernel:

Why do you think it's of limited value? Without it we will end up with a
hypercall for each update.

Or is your point that the number of those update is relatively small
when we are tearing down?

load_cr3() actually ends with xen_mc_flush() by way of xen_write_cr3()
-> xen_mc_issue().

The latter.  Also, unless I'm missing something, xen_set_pte() doesn't
have the optimization.  I haven't looked at exactly how page table
teardown works, but if it clears each PTE individually, then that's
the bulk of the work.

xen_mc_issue() does:

        if ((paravirt_get_lazy_mode() & mode) == 0)
                xen_mc_flush();

I assume the load_cr3() is intended to deal with the case where we're
in lazy mode, but we'll still be in lazy mode, right?  Or does it
serve some other purpose?

Of course. I can't read (I ignored the "== 0" part).

Apparently the early version had an explicit flush but then it 
disappeared (commit 9f79991d4186089e228274196413572cc000143b).

The point of CR3 loading here, I believe, is to make sure the hypervisor 
knows that the (v)CPU is no longer using the the mm's cr3 (we are 
loading swapper_pgdir here).

But that's what leave_mm() does.  To be fair, the x86 lazy TLB
management is a big mess, and this came up because I'm trying to clean
it up without removing it.

I suppose I can try to keep xen_exit_mmap() working.  Is there a
simple way to try to unpin but to not treat it as an error if the
hypervisor rejects it?

Ha, ob'sidenote: the preferred form to write this is:

	if (!(paravirt_get_lazy_mode() & mode))
		xen_mc_flush();

... exactly due to the readability problem you ran into: a 'pre' negation is much 
easier to read, plus '==' tends to trigger 'equal to' attributes in the brain, 
which is the opposite of negation. So it's very easy to mis-read such syntactic 
constructs even if they are technically correct.

I think '== 0' should be forbidden in all cases where the purpose is a logic 
operation and should be used strictly only in cases where we do explicit integer 
arithmetics.

(Bools and '== false' are suboptimal for similar reasons.)

... but I digress!

Correct, or else there would still be a non-zero refcount for the
page tables hanging off of that CR3, disallowing those pages to
become writable, and in turn disallowing the use of direct writes
instead of hypercalls to clear the individual entries (or to be
precise, direct writes would still be allowed, but their use would
be even slower than using hypercalls because they would trap
into the hypervisor for emulation).

True. I don't know though if you can guarantee that leave_mm() (or
load_cr3() inside it) is actually called if we are in lazy mode.

Even if we managed to craft a call in Linux to do this (current
xen_pgd_unpin() will result in a WARNing in xen_mc_flush()) this will
still cause a bunch of warnings in the hypervisor (if it is built as
DEBUG, but bad nevertheless).

But even without that, it is an error for a reason so how are you
planning to continue if you ignore it?

The code just before that makes these calls.

Anyway, I propose to rewrite the whole thing like this:

I was imagining that we'd just try to unpin and carry on if it fails.
We can always unpin later in xen_pgd_free().

Yes, and I was unsure whether we always get to make these calls, based
on mm and cpu_tlbstate. I think we do and with your changes it is made
even more clear.

Can you explain xen_pgd_free() change? When do you expect
xen_exit_mmap() to fail unpinning (compared to what we have now)?

I don't expect it to fail, but I made fairly extensive changes.
