[PATCH] KVM: halt-polling: poll if emulated lapic timer will fire soon
From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Thu May 19 2016 - 05:26:46 EST
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>
If an emulated lapic timer will fire soon(in the scope of 10us the
base of dynamic halt-polling, lower-end of message passing workload
latency TCP_RR's poll time < 10us) we can treat it as a short halt,
and poll to wait it fire, the fire callback apic_timer_fn() will set
KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER, and this flag will be check during busy poll.
This can avoid context switch overhead and the latency which we wake
up vCPU.
iperf TCP get ~6% bandwidth improvement.
