Subject: [PATCH -v8a 6/7] kvm: keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 09:52:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110201095241.2bdccb8e@annuminas.surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110201094433.72829892@annuminas.surriel.com>
Keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu. This helps us
figure out later what task to wake up if we want to boost a
vcpu that got preempted.
Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the same task
always keeps the same vcpu, so we can only track the task
across a single "run" of the vcpu.
