What I have in v2 is RCU based. I hope Oliver or someone else can help make that work. Otherwise we can just drop this for now and revisit later. (I have no problems with this patch if the Arm folks think the RCU-based version doesn't have a good ROI.)

Entirely up to you, but I would still want to credit everyone who contributed to a feature even if the underlying implementation has changed since the original attempt. > What I have in v2 is RCU based. I hope Oliver or someone else can help > make that work. Why? If there's data to show that RCU has a material benefit over taking the MMU lock for read then I'm all for it. Otherwise, the work required to support page-table walkers entirely outside of the MMU lock isn't justified. In addition to ensuring that page table teardown is always RCU-safe, we'd need to make sure all of the walkers that take the write lock are prepared to handle races. > Otherwise we can just drop this for now and revisit > later. I really wouldn't get hung up on the locking as the make-or-break for whether arm64 supports this MMU notifier.

Quite the opposite. This sort of comment actually indicates that the author has at least understood some of the complexity behind the proposed changes. It is a qualitative comment that conveys useful information to reviewers, and even more to the maintainers of this code. That's the difference between a human developer and a bot, and I'm not overly fond of bots. M.

Participate in bitmap-based aging while grabbing the KVM MMU lock for reading. Ideally we wouldn't need to grab this lock at all, but that would require a more intrustive and risky change. Also pass KVM_PGTABLE_WALK_SHARED, as this software walker is safe to run in parallel with other walkers. It is safe only to grab the KVM MMU lock for reading as the kvm_pgtable is destroyed while holding the lock for writing, and freeing of the page table pages is either done while holding the MMU lock for writing or after an RCU grace period. When mkold == false, record the young pages in the passed-in bitmap. When mkold == true, only age the pages that need aging according to the passed-in bitmap.
