Avi Kivity bccf2150fe KVM: Per-vcpu inodes ... Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following benefits: - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on every ioctl() - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived from the fd used to make the call Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>		2007-03-04 11:12:42 +02:00
