Subject: [patch 0/5] unify remote request and kvm_vcpu_kick IPI mechanism
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:20:00 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090827012000.762063112@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Unify remote request (TLB_FLUSH and MMU_RELOAD) with kvm_vcpu_kick mechanism.

The new wait_on_bit based scheme also allows finer optimization of
different request types, and makes future enhancements easier (such as
request to a single vcpu, or subset of vcpus).

kernel compilation is 2.5 - 3% faster with shadow paging.

See individual patches for details.
