i use the virtio dirvier of rhle6, the guest os version is 2.6.16.
the vm exits which caused by io instruction and apic access reduce a lot.
the total number of vm exits decreased by 50% :)
but the ept violation seem increase on cpu 0, cpu 1, cpu 2, cpu3.
(KVM)100000 times on cpu 2,
0, 1989
1, 9937
7, 7951
12, 2709
28, 20
30, 18536
44, 29058
48, 29800
and not all cpu have this problem: cpu4,cpu5,cpu6,cpu7
100000 times on cpu 5,
0, 13934
1, 35955
7, 26
12, 3841
28, 11224
30, 29389
44, 5631
I bind vcpu like this:
virsh vcpupin brd1vm4 0 7
virsh vcpupin brd3vm4 0 0
virsh vcpupin brd3vm4 1 4
virsh vcpupin brd5vm4 0 1
virsh vcpupin brd5vm4 1 5
virsh vcpupin brd9vm4 0 2
virsh vcpupin brd9vm4 1 6
virsh vcpupin brd11vm4 0 3
virsh vcpupin brd11vm4 1 7
the /proc/interrupt of guest os is below:

the application on all vcpu is the same. so i think the new pv driver
caused ept violation .
