3.14.39-rt38-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx> The problem: On -RT, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path: 1) hard interrupt 2) ksoftirqd is scheduled 3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread 4) vcpu thread is scheduled This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the LAPIC path for a KVM guest. The solution: Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context, thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled. Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which is not allowed from hard interrupt context. cyclictest command line: This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.
