Subject: [PATCH 13/16] target/arm/hvf: Lock BQL outside of the vCPU inner execution loop
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:16:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813181640.6537-14-philmd@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813181640.6537-1-philmd@oss.qualcomm.com>
Reduce lock contention by acquiring / releasing the BQL
outside of the entire vCPU inner loop.
