Subject: [patch 1/2] KVM: consolidate check for pending vcpu requests
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:37:35 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080606194010.897342530@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080606193734.495417169@localhost.localdomain
[-- Attachment #1: better-vcpu-run-request-handling --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1659 bytes --]
A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().
If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.
Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending.
