Avi Kivity c142786c62 KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking ... Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable. We also have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which isn't good for scaling. Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer (kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the processor with interrupts enabled. We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.
