Subject[PATCH v2] locking/pvqspinlock: Wait early if vCPU is preempted
Date
If prev node is not in runnig state or its vCPU is preempted, we can give
up our vCPU slices ASAP in pv_wait_node. After commit d9345c65eb79
("sched/core: Introduce the vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface") kernel
has knowledge of one vCPU is running or not.
