From 93edc8bd7750ff3cae088bfca453ea73dc9004a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 14:37:34 -0400 Subject: locking/pvqspinlock: Kick the PV CPU unconditionally when _Q_SLOW_VAL If _Q_SLOW_VAL has been set, the vCPU state must have been vcpu_hashed. The extra check at the end of __pv_queued_spin_unlock() is unnecessary and can be removed.
