From 7bc7ae25b1438bb9fe1f176b951d758789847640 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raghavendra K T Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 23:32:27 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] kvm: Iterate over only vcpus that are preempted This helps in filtering out the eligible candidates further and thus potentially helps in quickly allowing preempted lockholders to run. Note that if a vcpu was spinning during preemption we filter them by checking whether they are preempted due to pause loop exit.
