I would rather you pasted it here. There's no way to respond otherwise. For something that's presumably an optimization, isn't there some kind of testing that can be done to show the benefits? What kind of gain was observed? I know it's mostly relevant for huge VMs, but OTOH these probably use huge pages. > Previous posts: > > V1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20191129213505.18472-1-peterx@xxxxxxxxxx > V2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20191221014938.58831-1-peterx@xxxxxxxxxx > > The major change in V3 is that we dropped the whole waitqueue and the > global lock.
