Subject: non-root mode and preemption
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:06:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <575E85AC.4080604@softlab.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp> (raw)

Good Morning,

I have a simple question. In KVM code: /arch/x86/kvm/x86.c when the 
function vcpu_enter_guest is called, the run function ( 
kvm_x86_ops->run(vcpu)) is called with preemption and irqs disabled.
My question is, running in non-root mode with preemption and irqs 
disabled affects the latency of other processes or VPCUs running in the 
same CPU?


Thank you

Oscar
