Subject: [PATCH RESEND] KVM: Boosting vCPUs that are delivering interrupts
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during vcpu wakeup
and interrupt delivery), except the lock holder, we want to also boost vCPUs
that are delivering interrupts. Actually most smp_call_function_many calls are
synchronous ipi calls, the ipi target vCPUs are also good yield candidates.
This patch sets preempted flag during wakeup and interrupt delivery time.
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M
vanilla boosting improved
1VM 23000 21232 -9%
2VM 2800 8000 180%
3VM 1800 3100 72%
Testing on my Haswell desktop 8 HT, with 8 vCPUs VM 8GB RAM, two VMs,
one running ebizzy -M, the other running 'stress --cpu 2':
w/ boosting + w/o pv sched yield(vanilla)
vanilla boosting improved
1570 4000 55%
w/ boosting + w/ pv sched yield(vanilla)
vanilla boosting improved
1844 5157 79%
w/o boosting, perf top in VM:
72.33% [kernel] [k] smp_call_function_many
4.22% [kernel] [k] call_function_i
3.71% [kernel] [k] async_page_fault
w/ boosting, perf top in VM:
38.43% [kernel] [k] smp_call_function_many
6.31% [kernel] [k] async_page_fault
6.13% libc-2.23.so [.] __memcpy_avx_unaligned
4.88% [kernel] [k] call_function_interrupt
