[PATCH] KVM: LAPIC: Loose fluctuation filter for auto tune lapic_timer_advance_ns

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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

5000 guest cycles delta is easy to encounter on desktop, per-vCPU 
lapic_timer_advance_ns always keeps at 1000ns initial value, lets 
loose fluctuation filter a bit to make auto tune can make some 
progress.
