Jan Kiszka b6ddf05ff6 KVM: x86: Run PIT work in own kthread ... We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share kernel threads. This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread a name in the format "kvm-pit/<owner-process-pid>". That allows to identify and adjust the kthread priority according to the VM process parameters.
