[PATCH V12 12/14] RISC-V: paravirt: pvqspinlock: Add nopvspin kernel parameter

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

 



From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Disables the qspinlock slow path using PV optimizations which
allow the hypervisor to 'idle' the guest on lock contention.
