Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] KVM: send IPI to vcpu only when it's in guest mode
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:40:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D2D5AEF.1070006@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D2D5AA6.9080804@cn.fujitsu.com>
We can interrupt the vcpu only when it's running in guest mode
to reduce IPI
Also
1: No need atomically to read/write ->mode in vcpu's thread
2: reorganize struct kvm_vcpu to make ->mode and ->requests
in the same cache line explicitly
