Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Documentation: KVM: make corrections to halt-polling.rst
Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:08:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230612030810.23376-2-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230612030810.23376-1-rdunlap@infradead.org>
Module parameters are in sysfs, not debugfs, so change that.
Remove superfluous "that" following "Note:".
Hyphenate "system-wide" values.
Hyphenate "trade-off".
Don't treat "denial of service" as a verb.

+- Halt polling essentially presents a trade-off between power usage and latency and
the module parameters should be used to tune the affinity for this. Idle cpu time is
essentially converted to host kernel time with the aim of decreasing latency when
entering the guest.
