[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v13 10/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Enable PV qspinlock for KVM
This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to
support the CPU halting and kicking operations needed by the queue
spinlock PV code.
Two KVM guests of 20 CPU cores (2 nodes) were created for performance
testing in one of the following three configurations:
1) Only 1 VM is active
2) Both VMs are active and they share the same 20 physical CPUs
(200% overcommit)
The tests run included the disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark on
both ext4 and xfs RAM disks at 3000 users on a 3.17 based kernel. The
"ebizzy -m" test and futextest was was also run and its performance
data were recorded. With two VMs running, the "idle=poll" kernel
option was added to simulate a busy guest. If PV qspinlock is not
enabled, unfairlock will be used automically in a guest.

For the AIM7 disk workload, both PV ticketlock and qspinlock have
about the same performance. The unfairlock performs slightly better
than the PV lock.

unfairlock 9478
futextest (200% overcommit)

----- ------
PV ticketlock 7276
PV qspinlock 7095
unfairlock 5614
The ebizzy and futextest have much higher spinlock contention than
the AIM7 disk workload. In this case, the unfairlock performs worse
than both the PV ticketlock and qspinlock. The performance of the 2
PV locks are comparable.
