Always drop mmu_lock to allocate shadow pages in the TDP MMU when doing eager page splitting. Dropping mmu_lock during eager page splitting is cheap since KVM does not have to flush remote TLBs, and avoids stalling vCPU threads that are taking page faults while KVM is eager splitting under mmu_lock held for write. This change reduces 20%+ dips in MySQL throughput during live migration in a 160 vCPU VM while userspace is issuing CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctls (tested with 1GiB and 8GiB CLEARs). Userspace could issue finer-grained CLEARs, which would also reduce contention on mmu_lock, but doing so will increase the rate of remote TLB flushing, since KVM must flush TLBs before returning from CLEAR_DITY_LOG. When there isn't contention on mmu_lock[1], this change does not regress the time it takes to perform eager page splitting (the cost of releasing and re-acquiring an uncontended lock is minimal on x86). [1] Tested with dirty_log_perf_test, which does not run vCPUs during eager page splitting, and with a 16 vCPU VM Live Migration with manual-protect disabled (where mmu_lock is held for read).

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.
