Zap invalidated TDP MMU roots at maximum granularity, i.e. with more frequent conditional resched checkpoints, in order to avoid running for an extended duration (milliseconds, or worse) without honoring a reschedule request. And for kernels running with full or real-time preempt models, zapping at 4KiB granularity also provides significantly reduced latency for other tasks that are contending for mmu_lock (which isn't necessarily an overall win for KVM, but KVM should do its best to honor the kernel's preemption model). To keep KVM's assertion that zapping at 1GiB granularity is functionally ok, which is the main reason 1GiB was selected in the past, skip straight to zapping at 1GiB if KVM is configured to prove the MMU. Zapping roots is far more common than a vCPU replacing a 1GiB page table with a hugepage, e.g. generally happens multiple times during boot, and so keeping the test coverage provided by root zaps is desirable, just not for production.

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.
