I don't know > how expensive is kvm_vcpu_wake_up in this case. IIUC, you're asking if we should do something like: if (vcpu->mode == IN_GUEST_MODE) { } else if (!is_vcpu_loaded(vcpu)) { kvm_vcpu_wake_up(); } The answer is that kvm_vcpu_wake_up(), which is effectively rcuwait_wake_up(), is very cheap except for specific configurations that may or may not be valid for production[*]. Practically speaking, is_vcpu_loaded() doesn't exist and should never exist because it's inherently racy. The closest we have would be else if (vcpu != kvm_get_running_vcpu()) { kvm_vcpu_wake_up(); } but that's extremely unlikely to be a net win because getting the current vCPU requires atomics to disable/re-enable preemption, especially if rcuwait_wake_up() is modified to avoid the rcu lock/unlock. TL;DR: rcuwait_wake_up() is cheap, and if it's too expensive, a better optimization would be to make it less expensive.
