Though pv-ticketlocks tried to address these problems we can further improve at the cost of relaxed fairness. The following patch tries to achieve that by grouping (batched) ticketlocks.And here I stop reading and ignore this patch, right? Why should I look at this? For baremetal we continue to have 'fully fair ticketlock' with this patch series. Good thing about the patch is we do have upper bound on starvation and at the same time we solve Lock Waiter Preemption horror of strict serialization of ticketlocks in guest and combine definite advantages of unfair locks for guest. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
