[PATCH 14/18] KVM: VMX: Avoid unnecessary vcpu_load()/vcpu_put() cycles

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

 



From: Eddie Dong <[email protected]>

By checking if a reschedule is needed, we avoid dropping the vcpu.

[With changes by me, based on Anthony Liguori's observations]
