Subject: [PATCH 5/9] KVM: VMX: clamp PLE window
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 22:35:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408480536-8240-6-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408480536-8240-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>

Modifications could get unwanted values of PLE window. (low or negative)
Use ple_window and the maximal value that cannot overflow as bounds.

ple_window_max defaults to a very high value, but it would make sense to
set it to some fraction of the scheduler tick.
