Subject: [PATCH 0/8] KVM: Optimize MMU notifier's THP page invalidation -v4

v3->v4: Resolved trace_kvm_age_page() issue -- patch 6,7
v2->v3: Fixed intersection calculations. -- patch 3, 8

	Takuya

Takuya Yoshikawa (8):
  KVM: MMU: Use __gfn_to_rmap() to clean up kvm_handle_hva()
  KVM: Introduce hva_to_gfn_memslot() for kvm_handle_hva()
  KVM: MMU: Make kvm_handle_hva() handle range of addresses
  KVM: Introduce kvm_unmap_hva_range() for kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
  KVM: Separate rmap_pde from kvm_lpage_info->write_count
  KVM: MMU: Add memslot parameter to hva handlers
  KVM: MMU: Push trace_kvm_age_page() into kvm_age_rmapp()
  KVM: MMU: Avoid handling same rmap_pde in kvm_handle_hva_range()

>From v2:

The new test result was impressively good, see below, and THP page
invalidation was more than 5 times faster on my x86 machine.
