Raghavendra K T 06e48c510a KVM: Choose better candidate for directed yield ... Currently, on a large vcpu guests, there is a high probability of yielding to the same vcpu who had recently done a pause-loop exit or cpu relax intercepted. Such a yield can lead to the vcpu spinning again and hence degrade the performance. The patchset keeps track of the pause loop exit/cpu relax interception and gives chance to a vcpu which: (a) Has not done pause loop exit or cpu relax intercepted at all (probably he is preempted lock-holder) (b) Was skipped in last iteration because it did pause loop exit or cpu relax intercepted, and probably has become eligible now (next eligible lock holder) Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Tested-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> # on s390x Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>		2012-07-23 13:02:37 +03:00
