Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: selftests: hyperv_tlb_flush: replace NOP loop with udelay()
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:03:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260422130307.1171808-1-piotr.zarycki@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87v7djgoji.fsf@redhat.com>
Replace the open-coded NOP loop with udelay() which was added to KVM
selftests in commit 6b878cbb87bf ("KVM: selftests: Add guest udelay()
utility for x86"). The NOP loop is CPU speed dependent while udelay()
provides a deterministic delay regardless of host CPU frequency.
