Oliver Upton 5994bc9e05 KVM: arm64: Limit stage2_apply_range() batch size to largest block
Presently stage2_apply_range() works on a batch of memory addressed by a
stage 2 root table entry for the VM. Depending on the IPA limit of the
VM and PAGE_SIZE of the host, this could address a massive range of
memory. Some examples:

  4 level, 4K paging -> 512 GB batch size

  3 level, 64K paging -> 4TB batch size

Unsurprisingly, working on such a large range of memory can lead to soft
lockups. When running dirty_log_perf_test:

  ./dirty_log_perf_test -m -2 -s anonymous_thp -b 4G -v 48

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 45s! [dirty_log_perf_:16703]

Use the largest supported block mapping for the configured page size as
the batch granularity. In so doing the walker is guaranteed to visit a
leaf only once.

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.
