Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] kvm: Iterate over only vcpus that are preempted
Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:32:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130304180227.31281.96284.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130304180146.31281.33540.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com>
From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This helps in filtering out the eligible candidates further and
thus potentially helps in quickly allowing preempted lockholders to run.
Note that if a vcpu was spinning during preemption we filter them
by checking whether they are preempted due to pause loop exit.
