Hi,
The following is an updated (and hopefully final) revision of the kvm
vcpu to rcuwait conversion[0], following the work on completions using
simple waitqueues.
Patches 1-4 level up the rcuwait api with waitqueues.
Patch 5 converts kvm to use rcuwait.
Changes from v3:
- picked up maz and peterz's acks for routing via kvm tree.
- added new patch 4/5 which introduces rcuwait_active. This is to avoid
directly calling rcu_dereference() to peek at the wait->task.
- fixed breakage for arm in patch 4/5.
- removed previous patch 5/5 which updates swait doc as peterz will
keep it.
Changes from v2:
- new patch 3 which adds prepare_to_rcuwait and finish_rcuwait helpers.
- fixed broken sleep and tracepoint semantics in patch 4. (Marc and Paolo)
This has only been run tested on x86 but compile tested on mips, powerpc
and arm. It passes all tests from kvm-unit-tests[1].
This series applies on top of current kvm and tip trees.
Please consider for v5.8.
