Currently, during the operations such as a hugepage collapse, KVM would flush the entire VM's context using 'vmalls12e1is' TLBI operation. Specifically, if the VM is faulting on many hugepages (say after dirty-logging), it creates a performance penalty for the guest whose pages have already been faulted earlier as they would have to refill their TLBs again. Instead, leverage kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range() for table entries. If the system supports it, only the required range will be flushed. Else, it'll fallback to the previous mechanism.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
