KVM: x86/mmu: Batch zap MMU pages when shrinking the slab
Use the recently introduced kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() to batch zap
MMU pages when shrinking a slab. This fixes a long standing issue where
KVM's shrinker implementation is completely ineffective due to zapping
only a single page. E.g. without batch zapping, forcing a scan via
drop_caches basically has no impact on a VM with ~2k shadow pages. With
batch zapping, the number of shadow pages can be reduced to a few
hundred pages in one or two runs of drop_caches.
Note, if the default batch size (currently 128) is problematic, e.g.
zapping 128 pages holds mmu_lock for too long, KVM can bound the batch
size by setting @batch in mmu_shrinker.
