Currently, when a nested MMU is repurposed for some other MMU context, KVM unmaps everything during vcpu_load() while holding the MMU lock for write. This is quite a performance bottleneck for large nested VMs, as all vCPU scheduling will spin until the unmap completes. Start punting the MMU cleanup to a vCPU request, where it is then possible to periodically release the MMU lock and CPU in the presence of contention. Ensure that no vCPU winds up using a stale MMU by tracking the pending unmap on the S2 MMU itself and requesting an unmap on every vCPU that finds it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
