pi_wakeup_handler is used to wakeup the sleep vCPUs by posted irq list_for_each_entry is used in it, and whose input is other function per_cpu(), That cause that per_cpu() be invoked at least twice when there is one sleep vCPU so optimize pi_wakeup_handler it by reading once and same to per CPU spinlock Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx> --- diff v1: move reading the per-cpu variable out of spinlock protection arch/x86/kvm/vmx/posted_intr.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/posted_intr.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/posted_intr.c index 5fdabf3..c5c1d31 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/posted_intr.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/posted_intr.c @@ -215,16 +215,17 @@ void vmx_vcpu_pi_put(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) void pi_wakeup_handler(void) { int cpu = smp_processor_id(); + struct list_head *wakeup_list = &per_cpu(wakeup_vcpus_on_cpu, cpu); + raw_spinlock_t *spinlock = &per_cpu(wakeup_vcpus_on_cpu_lock, cpu); struct vcpu_vmx *vmx; - raw_spin_lock(&per_cpu(wakeup_vcpus_on_cpu_lock, cpu)); - list_for_each_entry(vmx, &per_cpu(wakeup_vcpus_on_cpu, cpu), - pi_wakeup_list) { + raw_spin_lock(spinlock); + list_for_each_entry(vmx, wakeup_list, pi_wakeup_list) { if (pi_test_on(&vmx->pi_desc)) kvm_vcpu_wake_up(&vmx->vcpu); } - raw_spin_unlock(&per_cpu(wakeup_vcpus_on_cpu_lock, cpu)); + raw_spin_unlock(spinlock); } void __init pi_init_cpu(int cpu) -- 1.8.3.1
