[Qemu-stable] [PATCH 24/55] memory: Share special empty FlatView


From: Michael Roth
Subject: [Qemu-stable] [PATCH 24/55] memory: Share special empty FlatView
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 13:16:17 -0600

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <address@hidden>

This shares an cached empty FlatView among address spaces. The empty
FV is used every time when a root MR renders into a FV without memory
sections which happens when MR or its children are not enabled or
zero-sized. The empty_view is not NULL to keep the rest of memory
API intact; it also has a dispatch tree for the same reason.

On POWER8 with 255 CPUs, 255 virtio-net, 40 PCI bridges guest this halves
the amount of FlatView's in use (557 -> 260) and dispatch tables
(~800000 -> ~370000).  In an unrelated experiment with 112 non-virtio
devices on x86 ("-M pc"), only 4 FlatViews are alive, and about ~2000
are created at startup.
