In case of under-committed scenarios, vCPUs can be scheduled easily; kvm_vcpu_yield_to adds extra overhead, and it is also common to see when vcpu->ready is true but yield later failing due to p->state is TASK_RUNNING. Let's bail out in such scenarios by checking the length of current cpu runqueue, which can be treated as a hint of under-committed instead of guarantee of accuracy. 30%+ of directed-yield attempts can now avoid the expensive lookups in kvm_sched_yield() in an under-committed scenario.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
