Need to talk to Paolo too. Good thing is that we have everything in place for guests now (HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE is enabled globaly on x86). Please see the microbenchmark attached. Adjust defines in the beginning to match your needs. It is not anything smart, basically just a TLB trasher.

Ingo, this series ended up being 'almost merged' - you merged all but the last two patches to 'x86/platform' branch when Peter reported an issue with pagetable walkers. Now as we have 'x86/mm: Enable RCU based page table freeing (CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y)' merged to 'x86/mm' this is resolved and we can hopefully proceed with this series. Could you please let me know if I need to resend these last two patches or if you can take them from v10? Thanks, -- Vitaly

Sorry :-( I think the best way to handle this (and having in mind upcoming PV spinlocks for Hyper-V) is something like diff --git a/drivers/hv/Kconfig b/drivers/hv/Kconfig index c29cd5387a35..50b89ea0e60f 100644 --- a/drivers/hv/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/hv/Kconfig @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ menu "Microsoft Hyper-V guest support" config HYPERV tristate "Microsoft Hyper-V client drivers" depends on X86 && ACPI && PCI && X86_LOCAL_APIC && HYPERVISOR_GUEST + select PARAVIRT help Select this option to run Linux as a Hyper-V client operating system. added to PATCH7 of the series. In case nobody objects, would you like me to resend the patch or do the whole v11 submission? Thanks and sorry for the breakage, -- Vitaly

Yeah, the patches are arch/x86/-heavy, so that would be the ideal workflow - it's just that the series coincided with x86 maintainers vacation time! I've picked them up now into tip:x86/platform (they look good to me) and will push them out after some testing. Thanks, Ingo
