Message-ID: <45A66106.5030608@qumranet.com> Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:08:38 +0200 From: Avi Kivity <avi@...ranet.com> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> CC: kvm-devel <kvm-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net>, linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: kvm & dyntick 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 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
