[PATCH -v8a 6/7] kvm: keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu

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

 



Keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu.  This helps us
figure out later what task to wake up if we want to boost a
vcpu that got preempted.

Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the same task
always keeps the same vcpu, so we can only track the task
across a single "run" of the vcpu.
