Linux kernel source tree
rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() both run in the context of the vCPU and thus we can use kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() to look up the memslot. This enables rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() to take advantage of vcpu->last_used_slot and avoid expensive memslot searching. This change improves the performance of "Populate memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test with tdp_mmu=N. In addition to improving the performance, "Populate memory time" no longer scales with the number of memslots in the VM.

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.
