[PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Micro-optimize TDP MMU cond_resched()

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

 



Invert the order of checks in tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() so that the common
case (no resched needed) is checked first, and opportunsitically clean up a
wart where the helper would return "yielded" in an error path, even if that
invocation didn't actually yield.  The latter cleanup allows extracting the
base "need resched" logic to a separate helper.

Note, I "speculatively" pushed these patches to kvm-x86 mmu, as they are
effectively needed for David's series to optimize hugepage recovery when
disabling dirty logging.  I'll rework the commits sometime next weeks, e.g.
fix a few changelog typos (I found two, so far), to capture reviews, and
add Links.  And if there are problems, I'll yank you the entire series
(David's and mine).
