[PATCH RFC 2/2] kvm: Iterate over only vcpus that are preempted

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

 



From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This helps in filtering out the eligible candidates further and 
thus potentially helps in quickly allowing preempted lockholders to run.
Note that if a vcpu was spinning during preemption we filter them
by checking whether they are preempted due to pause loop exit.
