Why? If a VCPU can't make progress because its waiting for some
resource, then why not schedule something else instead?
In the process, "something else" can get more share of cpu resource than its
entitled to and that's where I was bit concerned. I guess one could
employ hard-limits to cap "something else's" bandwidth where it is of real
concern (like clouds).
I'd like to think I fixed those things in my yield_task_fair +
yield_to + kvm_vcpu_on_spin patch series from yesterday.
