[PATCH 1/2] KVM: Fix lock holder candidate yield

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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After detecting pause loop which is executed by a Lock Waiter in the 
guest, the pCPU will be yielded to a Lock Holder candidate, the Lock 
Holder candidate may have its own task affinity constrain, however, 
current yield logic yield to the Lock Holder condidate unconditionally 
w/o checking the affinity constrain and set the task to the next buddy 
of cfs, this will break the scheduler. This patch fixes it by skipping 
the candidate vCPU if the current pCPU doesn't meat the affinity constrain.
