[PATCH 1/1] virt: tdx-guest: Optimize the get-quote polling interval time

From: Jun Miao

Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 03:58:26 EST


The TD guest sends TDREPORT to the TD Quoting Enclave via a vsock or
a tdvmcall. In general, vsock is indeed much faster than tdvmcall,
and Quote requests usually take a few millisecond to complete rather
than seconds based on actual measurements.

The following get quote time via tdvmcall were obtained on the GNR:

| msleep_interruptible(time) | 1s | 5ms | 1ms |
| ------------------------------ | -------- | -------- | ---------- |
| Duration | 1.004 s | 1.005 s | 1.036 s |
| Total(Get Quote) | 167 | 142 | 167 |
| Success: | 167 | 142 | 167 |
| Failure: | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Avg total / 1s | 0.97 | 141.31 | 166.35 |
| Avg success / 1s | 0.97 | 141.31 | 166.35 |
| Avg total / 1s / thread | 0.97 | 141.31 | 166.35 |
| Avg success / 1s / thread | 0.97 | 141.31 | 166.35 |
| Min elapsed_time | 1025.95ms| 6.85 ms | 2.99 ms |
| Max elapsed_time | 1025.95ms| 10.93 ms | 10.76 ms |

According to trace analysis, the typical execution tdvmcall get the
quote time is 4 ms. Therefore, 5 ms is a reasonable balance between
performance efficiency and CPU overhead.

And compared to the previous throughput of one request per second,
the current 5ms can get 142 requests per second delivers a
142× performance improvement, which is critical for high-frequency
use cases without vsock.

So, change the 1s (MSEC_PER_SEC) -> 5ms (MSEC_PER_SEC / 200)
