This series contains a few cleanups that didn't make it into previous
series, including some cosmetic changes and small bug fixes. The series
also lays the groundwork for a memslot modification test which stresses
the memslot update and page fault code paths in an attempt to expose races.
Tested: dirty_log_perf_test, memslot_modification_stress_test, and
demand_paging_test were run, with all the patches in this series
applied, on an Intel Skylake machine.
echo Y > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu; \
./memslot_modification_stress_test -i 1000 -v 64 -b 1G; \
./memslot_modification_stress_test -i 1000 -v 64 -b 64M -o; \
./dirty_log_perf_test -v 64 -b 1G; \
./dirty_log_perf_test -v 64 -b 64M -o; \
./demand_paging_test -v 64 -b 1G; \
./demand_paging_test -v 64 -b 64M -o; \
echo N > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu; \
./memslot_modification_stress_test -i 1000 -v 64 -b 1G; \
./memslot_modification_stress_test -i 1000 -v 64 -b 64M -o; \
./dirty_log_perf_test -v 64 -b 1G; \
./dirty_log_perf_test -v 64 -b 64M -o; \
./demand_paging_test -v 64 -b 1G; \
./demand_paging_test -v 64 -b 64M -o
The tests behaved as expected, and fixed the problem of the
population stage being skipped in dirty_log_perf_test. This can be
seen in the output, with the population stage taking about the time
dirty pass 1 took and dirty pass 1 falling closer to the times for
the other passes.
Note that when running these tests, the -o option causes the test to take
much longer as the work each vCPU must do increases proportional to the
number of vCPUs.
