Subject: [PATCH 4/4] hv_util: improve time adjustment accuracy by disabling interrupts
Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 20:41:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170102194114.657-5-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170102194114.657-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
If we happen to receive interrupts during hv_set_host_time() execution
our adjustments may get inaccurate. Make the whole function atomic.
Unfortunately, we can's call do_settimeofday64() with interrupts
disabled as some cross-CPU work is being done but this call happens
very rarely.
