[PATCH 0/3] Add support for CPU cache specification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Apparently setting a guest CPU cache (even faked) can dramatically
increase performance in some use cases [1]. This series adds support for
specifying the guest CPU cache in domain XML. See patch 2/3 for more
details and documentation.
