[Xen-devel] [PATCH 14/22] xen/arm: p2m: Switch the p2m lock from spinlock to rwlock

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

P2M reads do not require to be serialized. This will add contention
when PV drivers are using multi-queue because parallel grant
map/unmaps/copies will happen on DomU's p2m.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>

    I have not done benchark to verify the performance, however a rwlock
    is always an improvement compare to a spinlock when most of the
    access only read data.

    It might be possible to convert the rwlock to a per-cpu rwlock which
    show some improvement on x86.
