[PATCH v4 5/5] x86, kvm: support vcpu preempted check

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

 



This is to fix some lock holder preemption issues. Some other locks
implementation do a spin loop before acquiring the lock itself.
Currently kernel has an interface of bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu). It
takes the cpu as parameter and return true if the cpu is preempted.  Then
kernel can break the spin loops upon on the retval of vcpu_is_preempted.

As kernel has used this interface, So lets support it.

We use one field of struct kvm_steal_time to indicate that if one vcpu
is running or not.

unix benchmark result:
host:  kernel 4.8.1, i5-4570, 4 cpus
guest: kernel 4.8.1, 8 vcpus
