Vitaly Kuznetsov 557a961abb KVM: x86: acknowledgment mechanism for async pf page ready notifications ... If two page ready notifications happen back to back the second one is not delivered and the only mechanism we currently have is kvm_check_async_pf_completion() check in vcpu_run() loop. The check will only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event delivery. As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.
