Subject: kvm & dyntick
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:08:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45A66106.5030608@qumranet.com> (raw)
It occurs to me that kvm could benefit greatly from dyntick:
dyntick-enabled host:
- generate virtual interrupts at whatever HZ the guest programs its
timers, be it 100, 250, 1000 or whatever
- avoid expensive vmexits due to useless timer interrupts
dyntick-enabled guest:
- reduce the load on the host when the guest is idling
(currently an idle guest consumes a few percent cpu)
What are the current plans wrt dyntick? Is it planned for 2.6.21?
