From 5cfc2aabcb282f4554e7086c9893b386ad6ba9d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:51:04 -0400 Subject: KVM: handle last_boosted_vcpu = 0 case If last_boosted_vcpu == 0, then we fall through all test cases and may end up with all VCPUs pouncing on vcpu 0. With a large enough guest, this can result in enormous runqueue lock contention, which can prevent vcpu0 from running, leading to a livelock. Changing < to <= makes sure we properly handle that case.
