Subject: [patch 0/3] KVM KVM_HC_RT_PRIO hypercall support
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 08:38:35 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170921113835.031375194@redhat.com> (raw)
When executing guest vcpu-0 with FIFO:1 priority, which is necessary to
deal with the following situation:
VCPU-0 (housekeeping VCPU) VCPU-1 (realtime VCPU)
raw_spin_lock(A)
interrupted, schedule task T-1 raw_spin_lock(A) (spin)
raw_spin_unlock(A)
Certain operations must interrupt guest vcpu-0 (see trace below).
To fix this issue, only change guest vcpu-0 to FIFO priority
on spinlock critical sections (see patch).

Performance numbers (kernel compilation with make -j2)
======================================================
With hypercall: 4:40. (make -j2)
Without hypercall: 3:38. (make -j2)
Note for NFV workloads spinlock performance is not relevant
since DPDK should not enter the kernel (and housekeeping vcpu
performance is far from a key factor).
