Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: Yield to IPI target if necessary
Date:   Mon, 27 May 2019 18:34:12 +0800
Message-Id: <1558953255-9432-1-git-send-email-wanpengli@tencent.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The idea is from Xen, when sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, 
yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted. 17% performace 
increase of ebizzy benchmark can be observed in an over-subscribe 
environment. (w/ kvm-pv-tlb disabled, testing TLB flush call-function 
IPI-many since call-function is not easy to be trigged by userspace 
workload).
