Subject: [PATCH 9/9] KVM: VMX: automatic PLE window maximum
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 22:35:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408480536-8240-10-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408480536-8240-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>

Every increase of ple_window_grow creates potential overflows.
They are not serious, because we clamp ple_window and userspace is
expected to fix ple_window_max within a second.
