Subject: [PATCH 8/9] KVM: VMX: runtime knobs for dynamic PLE window
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 22:35:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408480536-8240-9-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408480536-8240-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>

ple_window is updated on every vmentry, so there is no reason to have it
read-only anymore.
ple_window_* weren't writable to prevent runtime overflow races;
they are mitigated by clamping the value of ple_window.

Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>

 If we decide to ignore insane overflows, last two hunks can be dropped.
