Subject: [PATCH v3 next 2/5] Optimise vcpu_is_preempted() check
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 22:51:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306225150.93178-3-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306225150.93178-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
The vcpu_is_preempted() test stops osq_lock() spinning if a virtual
CPU is no longer running.
Although patched out for bare-metal, the code still needs the CPU number.
Reading this from 'prev->cpu' is a pretty much guaranteed have a cache miss
when osq_unlock() is waking up the next cpu.
Instead save 'prev->cpu' in 'node->prev_cpu' and use that value instead.
Update in the osq_lock() 'unqueue' path when 'node->prev' is changed.
