[RFC PATCH v2 2/7] KVM guest: register kvm_idle_poll for pv_idle_ops

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

 



Although smart idle poll has nothing to do with paravirt, it can not
bring any benifit to native. So we only enable it when Linux runs as a
KVM guest(it can extend to other hypervisor like Xen, HyperV and
VMware).

Introduce per-CPU variable poll_duration_ns to control the max poll
time.
