Similarly, rmap in page_mkclean_one will not call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range. If I'm right vhost won't get notified when page is write-protected since you didn't install start/end notifiers.

This series tries to access virtqueue metadata through kernel virtual address instead of copy_user() friends since they had too much overheads like checks, spec barriers or even hardware feature toggling. This is done through setup kernel address through vmap() and resigter MMU notifier for invalidation. Test shows about 24% improvement on TX PPS. TCP_STREAM doesn't see obvious improvement.
