This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/kvm: Don't use pv tlb/ipi/sched_yield if on 1 vCPU to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-kvm-don-t-use-pv-tlb-ipi-sched_yield-if-on-1-vcp.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e53db0c238e3bbc69959db57d7b3d7d63d54563d Author: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 18 00:10:38 2022 -0800 x86/kvm: Don't use pv tlb/ipi/sched_yield if on 1 vCPU [ Upstream commit ec756e40e271866f951d77c5e923d8deb6002b15 ] Inspired by commit 3553ae5690a (x86/kvm: Don't use pvqspinlock code if only 1 vCPU), on a VM with only 1 vCPU, there is no need to enable pv tlb/ipi/sched_yield and we can save the memory for __pv_cpu_mask.
