Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: make make_all_cpus_request() lockless
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 17:40:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D243C7B.8060205@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D243B95.3070203@cn.fujitsu.com>
Now, we have 'vcpu->guest_mode' to judge whether need to send
ipi to other cpus, this way is very exact, so checking request
bit is needless, then we can drop the spinlock let it's collateral
There is the simple test result of kernbench:
before patch:
real 5m5.100s
user 3m58.051s
sys 9m4.742s
real 5m3.443s
user 3m58.837s
sys 9m6.007s
after patch:
real 5m0.769s
user 3m59.666s
sys 8m41.406s
real 4m57.980s
user 3m59.302s
sys 8m38.916s
