Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Avoid issuing wbinvd twice
Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:01:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CCEBA29.2050606@web.de> (raw)

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Micro optimization to avoid calling wbinvd twice on the CPU that has to
emulate it. As we might be preempted between smp_call_function_many and
the local wbinvd, the cache might be filled again so that real work
could be done uselessly.

I can fold the first patch into this one if it's preferred.
