Free TDP MMU roots from vCPU context while holding mmu_lock for read, it is completely legal to invoke kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root() as a reader. This eliminates the last mmu_lock writer in the TDP MMU's "fast zap" path after requesting vCPUs to reload roots, i.e. allows KVM to zap invalidated roots, free obsolete roots, and allocate new roots in parallel. On large VMs, e.g. 100+ vCPUs, allowing the bulk of the "fast zap" operation to run in parallel with freeing and allocating roots reduces the worst case latency for a vCPU to reload a root from 2-3ms to <100us.

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.
