Yes, have got result today, too tired to summarize. got better
performance result too. will come back again tomorrow morning.
have to post, randomized start point patch also, which I discussed to
know the opinion.
The other person's problem has also gone away with this
patch.
Avi, could I convince you to apply this obvious bugfix
to kvm.git? :)
====8<====
If last_boosted_vcpu == 0, then we fall through all test cases and
may end up with all VCPUs pouncing on vcpu 0. With a large enough
guest, this can result in enormous runqueue lock contention, which
can prevent vcpu0 from running, leading to a livelock.
Changing< to<= makes sure we properly handle that case.
