virtio-blk: Configure all host notifiers in a single MR transaction
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This allows the virtio-blk-pci device to batch the setup of all its
host notifiers. This significantly improves boot time of VMs with a
high number of vCPUs, e.g. from 3m26.186s down to 0m58.023s for a
pseries machine with 384 vCPUs.

Note that memory_region_transaction_commit() must be called before
virtio_bus_cleanup_host_notifier() because the latter might close
ioeventfds that the transaction still assumes to be around when it
commits.
