I was looking into the concept of adding 'dedicated' threads to the threadpool, since when the threadpool was added originally one of the purposes was to have all worker threads in a single place. This way we could still have threads in one place, which would make it easier to control all of them but still won't hurt performance of those threads. We can merge this patch, and I'll do the dedicated thread patch on top of it. -- Sasha. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
