Subject: [PATCH 4/7] x86/xen: support nested lazy_mmu sections (again)
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 13:57:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904125736.3918646-5-kevin.brodsky@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904125736.3918646-1-kevin.brodsky@arm.com>
Commit 49147beb0ccb ("x86/xen: allow nesting of same lazy mode")
originally introduced support for nested lazy sections (LAZY_MMU and
LAZY_CPU). It later got reverted by commit c36549ff8d84 as its
implementation turned out to be intolerant to preemption.
Now that the lazy_mmu API allows enter() to pass through a state to
the matching leave() call, we can support nesting again for the
LAZY_MMU mode in a preemption-safe manner. If xen_enter_lazy_mmu() is
called inside an active lazy_mmu section, xen_lazy_mode will already
be set to XEN_LAZY_MMU and we can then return LAZY_MMU_NESTED to
instruct the matching xen_leave_lazy_mmu() call to leave
xen_lazy_mode unchanged.
The only effect of this patch is to ensure that xen_lazy_mode
remains set to XEN_LAZY_MMU until the outermost lazy_mmu section
ends. xen_leave_lazy_mmu() still calls xen_mc_flush()
unconditionally.
