[PATCH v2 5/5] kvm/svm: kick L2 guest to L1 by ready async_pf

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

 



When async pagefault is resolved vCPU may be executing L2 guest.

In order to allow L1 take better scheduling decisions in such cases,
make L2 exit to L1 on a fake external interupt, without actually
injecting it (unless L2 has other reasons to vmexit).

This patch does that for x86/AMD.
