[PATCH 1/2] KVM: Fix lock holder candidate yield

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Mon Jun 11 2018 - 03:39:04 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After detecting pause loop which is executed by a Lock Waiter in the
guest, the pCPU will be yielded to a Lock Holder candidate, the Lock
Holder candidate may have its own task affinity constrain, however,
current yield logic yield to the Lock Holder condidate unconditionally
w/o checking the affinity constrain and set the task to the next buddy
of cfs, this will break the scheduler. This patch fixes it by skipping
the candidate vCPU if the current pCPU doesn't meat the affinity constrain.
