Subject: [PATCH V2 7/9] vhost: do not use RCU to synchronize MMU notifier with worker
We used to use RCU to synchronize MMU notifier with worker. This leads
calling synchronize_rcu() in invalidate_range_start(). But on a busy
system, there would be many factors that may slow down the
synchronize_rcu() which makes it unsuitable to be called in MMU
notifier.
A solution is SRCU but its overhead is obvious with the expensive full
memory barrier. Another choice is to use seqlock, but it doesn't
provide a synchronization method between readers and writers. The last
choice is to use vq mutex, but it need to deal with the worst case
that MMU notifier must be blocked and wait for the finish of swap in.
So this patch switches use a counter to track whether or not the map
was used. The counter was increased when vq try to start or finish
uses the map. This means, when it was even, we're sure there's no
readers and MMU notifier is synchronized. When it was odd, it means
there's a reader we need to wait it to be even again then we are
synchronized. To avoid full memory barrier, store_release +
load_acquire on the counter is used.
Consider the read critical section is pretty small the synchronization
should be done very fast.
Note the patch lead about 3% PPS dropping.
