[PATCH 04/23] Trigger exit from cpu_exec_all on pending IO events

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

 



From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Except for timer events, we currently do not leave the loop over all
VCPUs if an IO event was filed. That may cause unexpected IO latencies
under !CONFIG_IOTHREAD in SMP scenarios. Fix it by setting the global
exit_request which breaks the loop.
