Thanks a log.
If our assumption is correct, then this patch should have no side effect on x86. Do you have any confidence guess if the numbers below mean: no-change vs. regression vs improvement?
I am seeing very small improvement in <= 1x commit cases
and for >1x overcommit, a very slight regression. But considering the
test environment noises, I do not see much effect from the
patch.
But I admit, I have not explored deeply about,
1. assumption of preempted approximately equals PF_VCPU case logic,
2. whether it helps for any future usages of yield_to against current
sole usage of virtualization.
