Davidlohr Bueso da4ad88cab kvm: Replace vcpu->swait with rcuwait ... The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of queue. As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with the following considerations: - rcuwait already provides the proper barriers that serialize concurrent waiter and waker. - Task wakeup is done in rcu read critical region, with a stable task pointer. - Because there is no concurrency among waiters, we need not worry about rcuwait_wait_event() calls corrupting the wait->task. As a consequence, this saves the locking done in swait when modifying the queue. This also applies to per-vcore wait for powerpc kvm-hv. The x86 tscdeadline_latency test mentioned in 8577370fb0 ("KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq") shows that, on avg, latency is reduced by around 15-20% with this change.
