Subject: Replace kvm io delay pv-ops with linux magic
|
|
References: bnc#556135, FATE#306453
|
|
Patch-Mainline: Submitted to virtualization list
|
|
|
|
Currently we use pv-ops to tell linux not to do anything on io_delay.
|
|
|
|
While the basic idea is good IMHO, I don't see why we would need pv-ops
|
|
for that. The io delay function already has a switch that can do nothing
|
|
if you're so inclined.
|
|
|
|
So here's a patch (stacked on top of the previous pv-ops series) that
|
|
removes the io delay pv-ops hook and just sets the native io delay
|
|
variable instead.

- Usually we wait for PIO access to complete. When inside KVM there's

- This option disables PIO waits, but drags in CPU-bound pv-ops. Thus
