Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: hyperv_tlb_flush: replace NOP loop with udelay()
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:29:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421172953.191345-1-piotr.zarycki@gmail.com> (raw)
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.
