And when you say fair locks are you saying PV ticketlocks or generic
ticketlocks?
Generic, of course.
You should see the same values with the PV ticketlock. It is not clear
to me if this testing did include that variant of locks?
Yes, PV is fine. But up to this point of the series, we are concerned
about spinlock performance when running on an overcommitted hypervisor
that doesn't support PV spinlocks.
