It occurs to me that kvm could benefit greatly from dyntick: dyntick-enabled host: - generate virtual interrupts at whatever HZ the guest programs its timers, be it 100, 250, 1000 or whatever - avoid expensive vmexits due to useless timer interrupts
dyntick-enabled guest: - reduce the load on the host when the guest is idling (currently an idle guest consumes a few percent cpu) What are the current plans wrt dyntick? Is it planned for 2.6.21? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
